## Resource

Success isn't about perfection, willpower, or never falling off track, it's about grit. In this episode, Gina Livy shares why persistence is the real secret to reaching your goals, even when life gets messy. She dives into the importance of maintenance, the reasons we fall back into old habits, and how stress, hormones, sleep, medications, and self-sabotage can all impact our progress. Gina also opens up about her own health and fitness journey, why nighttime snacking can be a major roadblock, and how learning to navigate life's ups and downs is the key to sustainable weight loss and long-term wellness. This episode aligns with Day 65 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.
