Hi, everyone. It’s Amber here from Fresh Start.
Have you ever struggled to take action because you feel like it didn’t work in the past? Maybe you’ve tried before to make changes with your health or lifestyle — and it didn’t go as planned.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Whether you’ve had weight loss surgery or you’re using a GLP-1 medication to support your journey, taking action is essential to turn your goals into results. But sometimes, the biggest thing holding us back isn’t the challenge itself — it’s how we feel about our past attempts.Â
One of the biggest traps we can fall into is linking past “failures” to our self-worth.Â
We take past attempts that didn’t go as planned and turn them into a measure of whether we’re valuable or worthy. And of course, that makes it hard to try again — who wants to risk feeling “less than”?
Here’s the first thing I want you to do: notice when you’re doing this.
Next, let’s shift the way we see results.
Instead of thinking in terms of failure, see everything as feedback. Feedback is information. It tells you what worked, what didn’t, and guides you towards what you can adjust next time.
Think back to when you were a child:
Did “failure” stop you then? No. You learned. You experimented. You got curious. And you kept going.
You can take the same mindset with your goals today — whether it’s exercising, planning meals, or trying a new strategy while on GLP-1s or after WLS  - test and measure, review the information, adjust as you go along and celebrate the mistakes because they help set you up for an even better outcome next time.Â
Let’s make this practical.
Say you plan to go to the gym in the evening, and it doesn’t happen.
If you see that as a failure, it can make you feel stuck or frustrated - maybe even like giving up. But if you treat it as feedback, you can ask:
Every “setback” is really just information. It’s feedback you can use to adjust and keep moving forward — without attaching it to your value as a person.
Â
Here’s the key takeaway: you are already worthy.
Your self-worth doesn’t depend on hitting every goal, following every plan perfectly, or never having setbacks. Every attempt you make is simply feedback that guides you closer to your goals.
By letting go of “failure” and embracing curiosity and experimentation, you give yourself permission to take action, learn, and grow — without fear, guilt, or self-judgment.
So, whether you’re navigating life after weight loss surgery or using a GLP-1 medication, remember this:
The more you practice this mindset, the easier it becomes to stay on track, build confidence, and keep achieving your goals — all while treating yourself with grace, kindness and respect along the way.Â
You’ve got this.
