Summary

Ever feel like you're crushing your weight loss goals for weeks or months, then suddenly find yourself right back where you started? You're not alone - this frustrating cycle of progress followed by what feels like "self-sabotage" is one of the most common struggles people face. In this episode, we dive into why your brain seems to work against you just when things are going well, and why that success can feel so dangerous and unpredictable. We'll explore what's really happening in your mind when you revert to old eating patterns, and challenge some of the dramatic stories we tell ourselves about why this happens. If you've ever wondered why you keep "going backward" despite your best intentions, this episode will give you a completely different way to understand what's really going on
