Why I Struggled with Weight Loss Until I Stopped Doing This One Thing

You are reading The Fit Executive Blueprint, the newsletter created by Andy Naylor, CEO of Naylor Body Design.

I was stuck in a cycle.

Pushing myself to lose weight, yet ending up right back where I started.

For years, I thought weight loss came down to pushing harder, relying on sheer willpower.

But that one thing I relied on? It was the very thing holding me back.

Here’s the truth I wish I’d known sooner: Willpower isn’t enough.

As a busy business leader, I’d squeeze workouts into an already packed schedule, hoping they’d “stick.”

But when stress hit, my old habits took over, leaving me frustrated and exhausted.

Then I stopped forcing it. Instead of willpower, I built systems.

I created routines that fit my life and health goals without needing endless motivation.

This one shift transformed my results.

Now, I help other leaders stop the burnout and take control of their health in a way that lasts.

No more “pushing through”—just habits and systems that work.

If you’ve been relying on willpower alone, let this be your wake-up call.

Make the switch that finally makes success inevitable.

The best version of yourself is within reach, and if you’re ready to make that happen, let’s connect.
