125 - Escape Activities that Prevent Weight Loss

Let’s dive into the fascinating book Mini Habits for Weight Loss by Stephen C Guise. The author shares some fantastic strategies for avoiding bad habits and staying on track with healthy habits, particularly when it comes to losing weight. He lays out eight powerful techniques, including direct resistance, negative reinforcement, and substitution. The key takeaway is to focus on making small, consistent tweaks and being mindful of our choices. Plus, he encourages us to focus on adding healthy habits rather than just cutting out the bad ones and to avoid judging ourselves harshly. Ultimately, he shows us that our lifestyle and weight are deeply interconnected and that gradual changes can lead to long-lasting results.

Jill McKinley

I’m Jill from the Northwoods. Professionally, I work in Health IT, where I untangle complex systems and help people use technology more effectively. But at heart, I’m a curious lifelong learner—always exploring how things work, why people grow the way they do, and how even the smallest steps can spark real transformation. That curiosity fuels everything I do, from problem-solving at work to sharing insights through my creative projects.

My journey wasn’t always easy. Growing up, I faced a rough childhood, and books became my lifeline. They introduced me to voices of ancient wisdom, modern psychology, and the natural world around me. Those pages taught me resilience, gave me perspective, and helped me see that wisdom is everywhere—waiting to be noticed, gathered, and shared.
