So the external motivation goes away.

So for weight loss maintenance, what we talk about is

you have to know where your deep internal motivation is.

We're a big believer in why, and we do a lot of exercises to say, what's your real reason?

It's so funny because a lot of people will say, I want to lose weight for health reasons.

I don't buy it.

When you dig deeper, it's usually more emotional, which is okay.

There's no wrong answer.

But the motivation is so critical because during weight loss, it's easy to get it from external places.

During weight loss maintenance, it's got to be internal.

You've got to know why you're doing this.

And when you run into challenges, you've got to be able to have the motivation to stick with it.

So critical difference between weight loss and weight loss maintenance.

So this is one where my colleague Holly Wyatt really took me to task.

So I would always say weight loss maintenance, it's really hard.

And she said, okay, look.

If you're doing something that's terribly hard and you're simply hanging on by your fingertips, you aren't going to do it.

There are hard parts of it, but the successful weight loss maintenance isn't hard.

It's creating a lifestyle that's actually easy.

And the way you do that is with the architecture, the new habits and routines.
