The same 10–20 lbs again?


It’s the week before Christmas aaand if your brain is already shutting of your health habits… I feel you.

I’m not here to tell you to overhaul your life on December 18th…cause let’s just be real LOL **screams for HELP** “next year I WILL not wait until last minute” - says every year😬​

Anyway…I’m busy, You’re busy. You’re hosting, traveling, wrapping, reindeer day at school, finishing work, doing the mom/wife/employee/CEO Olympics… and the last thing you need is another “LOCK IN RIGHT NOW🫡🫡” message.

So let’s keep it simple:

This week is about noticing the pattern now—so 2026 is where it finally changes.

Quick truth I’m bringing to you this week:

If it’s always the same 10–20 pounds, it’s not your body—it’s your pattern.

I break down why it keeps happening and what actually needs to change in 2026 so you’re not doing the whole “start over” thing again.


Episode 160. What I’ll tell you because I’m not afraid to hurt your feelings… the same 10–20 pounds pattern.

It’s the real talk you’ll want in your earbuds when you’re driving, wrapping gifts, or hiding in the pantry for 4 minutes of peace.

You guys have been letting me know all week that this one hit in all the right places!😂 I might know because maaaybe I've been there too. The BEST news -> I broke free, my clients break free, and now its your turn.

Also… because I know your brain is already thinking about “new year energy” (even if you’re not ready to do anything about it yet) — I put together a free set of journal prompts you can use to get clear before you go full January-mode (work on these over the holiday or in January!)

They’ll help you:

➔ stop lying to yourself politely about why you’re stuck

➔ spot the moment you always slip (because it’s the SAME moment every time)

➔ write your standards down so “January motivation” doesn’t run out as quickly as it arrives

➔ choose your next move instead of “researching” for 3 more months

If you’re reading this and thinking “Hilary… I cannot do the same 10–20 pounds again.”

Then let’s just say the quiet part out loud:

“I’ll just have more willpower” isn’t a plan. And January “motivation & hype” isn’t accountability.

What actually changes is having:

a proven method (so you’re not guessing + changing plans every week)

a coach in your pocket (one who’s actually in it with you and will hold you accountable)

➔ and a container long enough to get results and learn how to keep them

That’s Goal Body Coaching.

It’s a 6‑month coaching container for ambitious women who want the full transformation—Body, Mind, Life—so you don’t just lose weight… you become the woman who maintains it.

Because here’s the truth:

If nothing changes, next December you’ll be in the same spot—and girlfriend…we simply cannot have that. same closet full of cute clothes you’re “saving,” same low-key dread every time a photo gets taken.

And the cost isn’t just the weight. It’s the mental tax:

  • the whiplash of restriction → “screw it” → guilt → repeat
  • starting over so many times you don’t trust yourself anymore
  • vacations and work travel feeling like a “pause button” on your progress
  • the constant anxiety that if you relax, you’ll regain—because you always have
  • feeling like your body is the one area you can’t “figure out,” even though you crush everything else
  • collecting everyone’s plan on Instagram (macros today, fasting tomorrow, “cut carbs” next week)… and still feeling confused about what you should actually be doing
  • and realizing your kids are watching—how you talk to yourself, how you treat your body, whether you prioritize your health… and wanting them to grow up seeing a mom who’s confident, happy, and not last on her own list

Now zoom forward:

It’s June. You’re not “trying to be confident.” You just… are.

You’re wearing the dress. You’re in the pictures. You’re not sucking in or adjusting your shirt every 4 seconds.

You’re eating at the restaurant and moving on with your life—no guilt, no spiral, no punishment workout tomorrow.

And the best part?

You’re not panicking because it’s not temporary.

You know exactly how to live in your body without losing your mind—because you finally built the system that holds you when life is busy, stressful, or chaotic.

That’s what Goal Body Coaching is for.

Not to help you “lose weight.”

To make this your last start—and your first time actually keeping it.

My Monday January start dates are almost full.

If you wait until “after the holidays,” you might miss the January boat that's setting sail.

Do the future-you a favor: claim your spot now and let’s go into January with a plan that doesn’t collapse.

I’m signing off for today and entering full Christmas chaos mode as I venture out to tackle Target & my fave local small businesses!

Go listen to this week’s episode, grab the prompts, and if this is your year—claim your spot in GBC.
