LOL do you remember that game!?! ππ€£
You climb steadily up the board, making progress. Then WHOOSH β down the chute you go.
At least that's what it FEELS like.
I was talking with a client yesterday who was completely crushed. She'd regained most of the weight she'd lost over the past year.
"All that work for nothing," she said with tears in her eyes.
I looked at her and said something that stopped her in her tracks.
"You're not at square one again."
She looked at me like I was insane. The scale didn't lie, right?
Here's the thing β weight loss for us isn't just about pounds.
What about all those times she chose water instead of soda? That counts.
What about her new understanding of emotional eating triggers? That's forever knowledge.
What about recognizing when she falls into all-or-nothing thinking? That's a superpower.
Those skills don't disappear when the scale goes up.
Weight loss isn't a straight line up a mountain. It's more like a spiral staircase -
Sometimes you feel like you're covering old ground. But you're actually at a higher level of awareness and capability.
When you've changed behaviors once and seen results, you absolutely can do it again.
Often, what's really happening is something else entirely.
Maybe your thyroid needs attention.
Maybe perimenopause is throwing curveballs at your metabolism.
Maybe stress has your cortisol through the roof.
