After years of emotional binge eating and unsuccessful restrictive dieting, Ashley Zeffiro (@ashleytrackspoints) became a weight loss success story. Not only did Ashley hit her target weight, but she also kept the weight off, a part of the journey Ashley says “people don’t talk about enough.” So how did Ashley go from watching her weight yo-yo for years to becoming a sustainable weight loss advocate for over 67,000 fans on Instagram? She changed her mindset and started thinking long term. Ashley finally realized that in order to make lasting changes, she had to ditch the short term fixes. She had to try things that she’d be willing to stick to for life. In this episode, Ashley shares everything she discovered along the way. You’ll hear how she made food tracking feel easy to fit her busy life as a mom of three, why she refuses to give herself rules around food, and why when it comes to focusing on her weight loss, she thinks about everything a year in advance.
