What happens when you're already happy with your body—but decide to pursue a new challenge anyway?
In this honest Twisted Tuesday episode, Amy pulls back the curtain on starting a short-term cut for an upcoming photoshoot while continuing to navigate life as a long-term cancer survivor. She shares the reality of transitioning from maintenance calories into a calorie deficit, the unexpected return of food thoughts, the importance of meal structure, hydration, and mindset, and why choosing hard things can elevate every area of your life.
Amy also discusses the difference between chronic dieting and strategic fat loss, how maintenance phases can reduce cravings and food obsession, and why self-love—not self-punishment—is the foundation of lasting transformation. Whether you're pursuing a fitness goal, working through a personal challenge, or simply trying to become your best self, this episode is packed with practical insights and powerful mindset lessons.
