So I’ve noticed behavior that is definitely a pattern. Here’s how it starts: I commit to weightloss! I do great! I eat at a calorie deficit! I make healthier choices! It all feels incremental — no perfectionist thinking, no giant leaps, no restriction, etc. — and I start seeing the rewards! My clothes fit better! The scale’s trending downwards! It feels like I’m finally going to reach my goals!
And then, after a period (usually somewhere around 1-4 weeks) of making great progress and starting to lose weight, I have a couple days that aren’t great. A couple of the good habits I’ve created for myself start to slide, just a little bit. And then at some point I realize all the progress I made has been erased by all the little things that slipped, and I’m back where I started...if not even a bit lower.
What do you know about ending self-sabotage? Have you noticed any similar patterns in yourself? Most importantly: how have you solved for them and ended the pattern for good?
