5 Reasons I’m Happy I Ate Everything I Chose on

5 Reasons I’m Happy I Ate Everything I Chose on Thanksgiving

1. It was FUN: Life without fun sucks, and enjoying a delicious holiday meal is part of living fully. Thanksgiving is about celebration, not restriction!

2. Friends and family: Sharing food and laughter with loved ones feeds the soul and creates memories that matter far more than what’s on your plate.

3. Food is meant to be loved: Eating delicious food reminds me that loving what I eat is part of loving life. Food should be enjoyed, not feared.

4. It’s all about balance: One indulgent meal doesn’t derail progress. It’s a reminder that sustainable health comes from enjoying life, not depriving yourself.

5. Small, smart choices start now: The best way forward is to refocus immediately. No guilt—just a return to the simple habits that lead to long-term success.

Comment the word “Food” and I will send you my blueprint on how to eat whatever you choose and lose weight at the same time !

Time to get back on that weight loss journey. You

Time to get back on that weight loss journey. You didn’t blow a damn thing. You had a great weekend with friends and family. Now it is’s time to get back to the basics and get back on track.

If you feel guilty… get over it! You lived your life and loved your food! Now it is time to get back to losing some weight. #weightlossjourney #healthylifestyle #jonathanressler

Get back on track! You’re doing fine, okay? Lif

Get back on track! You’re doing fine, okay? Life’s a circus, and the fact that you’re even thinking about fitness goals means you care—so give yourself a break.

1. Perfection? Overrated. Skipped a workout or had a meltdown with a bag of chips? Who cares? Your progress isn’t wiped out because of one bad day. Consistency beats perfection every time.

2. Small wins matter. Took a walk? Stretched for five minutes? Ate a salad without drowning it in ranch? Congratulations, you’re not a lost cause after all.

3. Progress is progress. Sure, it might feel like you’re crawling, but at least you’re moving forward. Keep at it—you’re closer than you think (unless you quit, of course).

4. You’re tougher than you look. Bad days don’t own you, and the fact that you’re still here, still trying, makes you unstoppable. Or stubborn. Either way, it works.

Now take a second to actually notice how much you’re juggling. You’re doing better than you think. Stop being so hard on yourself—it’s annoying.

🎯 One Meal Won’t Make or Break You! Today is

🎯 One Meal Won’t Make or Break You!

Today isn’t about perfection—it’s about living life, loving food, and enjoying the moments that truly matter. One meal, no matter how indulgent, won’t derail your weight loss progress. What matters is consistency over time, not a single day of celebration.

Eat what you choose today, guilt-free. Savor the flavors, embrace the traditions, and enjoy the time with family and friends. This is just one meal out of hundreds you’ll have this year.

Tomorrow, you’ll be back to making smart, intentional choices. But today? Relax, enjoy, and live your life.

One meal won’t derail your progress. 🦃✨ Remember, Thanksgiving is one day out of hundreds on your journey. Sustainable weight loss is about balance—not perfection. Enjoy the day, savor your favorite foods, and most importantly, live your life! A healthy mindset is what makes long-term success possible. 🥂💪

🎉 Holiday Weight Gain? No Big Deal! 🎉

Here’s the truth: You don’t get fat between Thanksgiving and New Year’s. It’s the choices you make from New Year’s through Thanksgiving that matter most.

Weight loss isn’t linear—it’s about consistency, not perfection. So, if you overindulge, forgive yourself and get back on track with small, smart choices that add up all year long.

Enjoy the holidays. Laugh. Celebrate. Have fun! 🎄 The rest of the year is where the real work happens—and it’s totally doable.

Think a pastrami sandwich is off-limits for weight

Think a pastrami sandwich is off-limits for weight loss? Think again. Pastrami is a lean source of protein, making it a solid choice when you’re craving something flavorful and satisfying. Sure, it’s not as “clean” as boneless, skinless chicken breast, but let’s be real—it’s a hell of a lot better than diving into a bag of chips or greasy pizza.

The key to weight loss? It’s NOT about avoiding every food you love. It’s about moderation and making better choices that you can actually stick with. If you cut out all the foods you enjoy, you’ll eventually quit. That’s why you need to stop listening to the so-called gurus who preach restriction and tell you everything is “bad” for you.

Weight loss is about loving the journey and loving the food you eat—because sustainable change comes from enjoying the process, not resenting it. So, go ahead and enjoy that pastrami sandwich (just maybe skip the extra mayo). Actually if you put mayo on pastrami, you will have to show your Iowa ide traction card. You know what to do.

Weight loss isn’t glamorous. Don’t be fooled b

Weight loss isn’t glamorous. Don’t be fooled by influencers showing off fancy exercises in beautiful settings or claiming you need expensive plans to see results. You don’t need any of that.

What you do need is small, smart choices made every single day—consistently. It’s choosing water over soda. Walking after dinner instead of sitting on the couch. Saying no to seconds at dinner.

These choices might seem too small to matter at first. You might not see immediate results, and that’s okay. Because it’s not about instant gratification—it’s about building habits that transform your life over time.

Small steps, done consistently, are what make the difference. Forget the glamour. Focus on the process. What small choice will you make today? 👇

🚨 7 Things I’d Do to Lose 20 Lbs by Year-End

🚨 7 Things I’d Do to Lose 20 Lbs by Year-End 🚨

1️⃣ Make small, smart choices daily—skip dessert, halve the bread, or swap fries for salad. Little wins add up fast.

2️⃣ Cut out empty calories like soda, candy, and chips. These do nothing but hold you back.

3️⃣ Drink 100 oz of water daily. Often hunger is just thirst in disguise—stay hydrated and stay full.

4️⃣ Prioritize protein at every meal. Protein keeps you fuller longer and helps preserve muscle.

5️⃣ Walk 7,000 steps daily. Movement doesn’t have to be intense to make a big difference.

6️⃣ Track everything you eat. Awareness creates accountability, and accountability leads to progress.

7️⃣ Focus on gains, not losses. Celebrate your energy, confidence, and health—not just the number on the scale.

Not losing weight easily? Do these 5 things to lo

Not losing weight easily? Do these 5 things to lose as much as you choose.

1. You’re Underestimating “Small” Choices

• The Problem: Grabbing a handful of chips, skipping a 5-minute walk, or saying “I’ll start tomorrow” feels harmless—but these small choices add up.

• The Fix: Focus on making one better choice today. Start small, like swapping soda for water or taking the stairs. Small wins lead to big results.

2. You’re Chasing Perfection, Not Progress

• The Problem: Waiting for the “perfect” time to start or beating yourself up over one bad day derails your consistency.

• The Fix: Shift your mindset. Focus on progress, not perfection. Even a 1% improvement daily compounds into big change.

3. Stress Is Secretly Sabotaging You

• The Problem: Deadlines, meetings, and responsibilities lead to stress eating and hormonal imbalances (like increased cortisol), which can stall weight loss.

• The Fix: Build quick, stress-relieving habits, like deep breathing or a 10-minute walk. Replace emotional eating with other stress outlets.

4. You’re Overeating “Healthy” Foods

• The Problem: Nuts, avocados, protein bars, and salads drenched in dressing may seem healthy but can be calorie bombs when portions aren’t controlled.

• The Fix: Practice portion control and track your food intake. Healthy doesn’t mean unlimited—focus on balance.

5. You’re Not Owning Your Choices

• The Problem: Blaming your schedule, environment, or genetics keeps you stuck. You’re giving away your power to change.

• The Fix: Take full responsibility. Realize that your weight is a result of your choices—and if you chose to be here, you can choose to get out.

The key to lasting weight loss isn’t complicated—it’s about shifting your mindset and making consistent, smart choices every day.

5 Weight Loss Excuses That Sound Smart… But Aren

5 Weight Loss Excuses That Sound Smart… But Aren’t

Think you’ve heard it all? Here are 5 science-sounding excuses people use for not losing weight—and why they’re totally wrong:

1️⃣ “My metabolism is too slow for weight loss.”
• While metabolism varies, it’s rarely slow enough to stop progress. Most of the time, it’s the calories you’re eating, not your metabolism.

2️⃣ “I have to eat more carbs to keep my brain functioning.”
• Your brain needs some carbs, but it’s nowhere near the endless pizza and pasta you might think!

3️⃣ “Eating after 8 PM makes me gain weight.”
• Your body doesn’t have a “clock” that magically stores food as fat after dark. It’s the total calories that matter, not the time you eat.

4️⃣ “I need to eat more to boost my metabolism.”
• Eating more only works if you’re balancing calories. Overeating doesn’t magically speed things up.

5️⃣ “Exercise builds muscle, which hides my weight loss on the scale.”
• While muscle gain can affect the scale, most people aren’t building enough muscle to mask fat loss overnight.

Stop falling for these myths—weight loss comes down to small, smart choices every day. Which excuse have you heard the most?

Love Your Food, Love Your Journey: Why Enjoying Wh

Love Your Food, Love Your Journey: Why Enjoying What You Eat is Key to Weight Loss

Let’s be real—if you hate the food you’re eating, how long will you stick to your plan? A week? Maybe two? The truth is, you can’t force yourself to eat bland, boring meals and expect lasting results.

Sustainable weight loss comes down to consistency, and the only way to stay consistent is by eating foods you actually enjoy. That doesn’t mean you can’t make healthier choices—it means finding a balance that works for you.

Love pasta? Great! Learn to make a lighter version. Crave something sweet? Work it into your plan. When you love the food you eat, your weight loss journey becomes something you look forward to—not something you dread.

Remember: it’s not about perfection, it’s about sustainability. The best “diet” isn’t a diet at all—it’s a lifestyle filled with smart, delicious choices that fit your life.

The Gym Won’t Save You: Why Nutrition is the Rea

The Gym Won’t Save You: Why Nutrition is the Real Key to Weight Loss

You’ve heard it before: “You can’t out-exercise a bad diet.” And it’s 100% true. Hitting the gym is fantastic for building strength, improving health, and boosting confidence, but if your goal is weight loss, it’s time to shift your focus to what really matters—your diet.

Here’s the truth: weight loss is 80% about nutrition. No matter how many hours you spend sweating it out, you won’t see the results you’re after if your eating habits are sabotaging your efforts.

Think of your body like a car. Exercise is the fine-tuning, but what you fuel it with determines how far it will go. Swap out the empty calories, reduce processed junk, and focus on smart, sustainable choices—because that’s where the magic happens.

Don’t waste another second thinking the treadmill alone can fix it. Focus on your plate, and the gym will amplify your results—not the other way around.

🎥 What I Eat in a Day: The Ridiculous Edition

Let’s keep it real—losing weight isn’t rocket science. You don’t need extreme diets, exotic powders, or overpriced superfoods. 🛑 Stop overcomplicating it.

Here’s the deal: I eat normal, real food. Protein, veggies, healthy fats, and some carbs. Nothing crazy, nothing trendy. You know what to eat. We all do.

The real issue? People would rather buy into ridiculous diets than admit the truth: your choices got you here, and your choices can get you out.

You don’t need a miracle; you need discipline. Go eat something real, something you can pronounce. Then do it again tomorrow.

✨ It’s simple: Eat better. Feel better. Live better.

🚨 STOP and READ the LABEL! 🚨
Think you’re making a “healthy” choice? Think again. Many so-called “low-fat” or “healthy” products are loaded with hidden sugars, chemicals, and garbage your body doesn’t need. 🛑

One of the first lessons in my weight loss program: Smart choices start with awareness. If you can’t pronounce the ingredients, why are you eating it?

Fat isn’t the enemy—bad choices are. Making smart, informed decisions is how you start taking back control. 💪

This is exactly why I built my program: to simplify the chaos and help you choose better. Because THIS 👆 clearly isn’t it.
