What if lasting weight loss isn’t about adding more to your to-do list... but about building a few simple, powerful habits at the subconscious level?
In Part Two of the Close Your Eyes, Lose Weight series, we move beyond conscious effort and into the foundations that truly create change. Grace will walk you through the first steps of the proven 12-week protocol, starting with habits so simple they’re often overlooked: chewing thoroughly, staying hydrated, and stopping when satisfied.
But as you’ll hear, it’s not about “trying harder” to remember these habits. It’s about rewiring them into your subconscious mind, so they become effortless and natural over time.
We’ll also explore why slowing down with food changes everything, why hydration can be a secret weapon for energy and fat metabolism, and why learning to stop when you’re satisfied (instead of stuffed) frees you from decades of old conditioning.
And if you’ve ever struggled with feelings of guilt around leaving food on your plate, or pressure from cultural expectations around eating, Grace will share how to navigate those situations with grace, compassion, and confidence.
This episode isn’t about restriction or punishment, it’s about honoring your body’s wisdom, gently retraining your mind, and taking the first joyful steps toward real transformation.
Whether you’re just starting out or deepening your practice, this conversation will help you create new habits from a place of mindfulness, self-trust, and ease.
