TruFit Success Stories Carla S

You’ve probably said at least one of these before.
Most people have.

And that’s not a jab — it’s just the truth.

But the real issue isn’t the statement itself…
It’s what it reveals about your level of control.

Let me explain.

Here are 5 of the most common things I hear from people struggling to lose weight — and what they really mean:

1. “I eat pretty well.”
Translation: “I eat mostly clean, but I’m not willing to track my food — because that would force me to see how often I overeat.”

Here’s the truth: "Clean eating" is a feel-good label.

But fat loss isn’t about clean vs. dirty — it’s about total intake.

And if you don’t measure it, you can’t manage it.

2. “I know what to do… I just need to do it.”

Translation: “I’m either unwilling to do what I know works… or what I think works is so extreme, it’s not sustainable.”

Either way, you’re stuck.

This is where strategy and support make the difference — because you don’t need more information. You need implementation (these people implemented).

3. “Once I get through ____…”

Translation: “I’m waiting for the perfect time… but the perfect time doesn’t exist.”

There’s always something.

Vacations. Kids’ schedules. Holidays. Work stress.

If you don’t build your plan around real life, you’ll always be waiting.

4. “I’m great during the week…”

Translation: “…but I completely blow it on the weekends.”

This is a lifestyle mismatch.

Your diet doesn’t support your social life or habits outside of work.

Which means it’s not sustainable, and it won’t last.

Something needs to change.

Which is different than saying, "something needs to be eliminated"...

But again, that takes strategy.

5. “_____ always gets me off track.”

Translation: “I didn’t plan ahead for the inevitable.”

Whether it’s travel, kids, your job, or even stress —if you don’t proactively create systems and strategies to handle these roadblocks, you’ll always fall off.

None of these phrases make you a failure.

They make you human.

But if you want real change, you’ve got to stop giving away your control.

Discipline. Self-control. Ownership. That’s the difference-maker.

And if you need help with that?
