What does it really mean to start over without punishing yourself? Ethan Suplee sits down with Paige Dorian to unpack the emotional and psychological weight of restarting, whether it is after the holidays, a setback, or yet another failed plan. Ethan speaks candidly about crash diets, the illusion of quick fixes, and why weight loss is something to manage, not cure.
Together, they explore sustainable habits, realistic readiness, and the importance of support and accountability. This conversation is a grounded reminder that real change comes from compassion, not extremes.
