## Resource

In this episode of the Thick Thighs Saves Lives Podcast, we’re calling out seven habits that may feel productive … but are secretly holding you back. We’re talking about the ones that drain your energy, kill your consistency, and keep you spinning your wheels. From decision fatigue and doom scrolling to over-customizing your routine, we’re breaking down why these patterns backfire and what to do instead. Because the goal isn’t to do more. It’s to stop sabotaging yourself. If any of these habits have your name on them, let’s call them out for what they are. Then you decide. Keep them. Toss them. Or maybe just switch them up a bit.
