As a weight loss coach, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve had this conversation.A client sends a message after a weekend of emotional eating, skipped workouts, and maybe a little self-loathing. It always starts the same way:👉 “I messed up. I feel like I’m never going to get this right.”or👉 “I give up. I can’t do this anymore.”And every time, I say the same thing:Setbacks are part of the process. Misery is optional.This journey—especially for people who’ve lived with deeply ingrained habits for years—isn’t a straight line. It’s messy. Progress often looks like:😁 5 days on track😩 2 days off🔁 And then . . . back on track.I currently work with a client who recently felt completely defeated after falling into old patterns (fatty food, sugary treats, skipping her workouts) during a stressful week. She was ready to quit. But instead of letting shame win, we sat down together and got curious.🤔 What happened?🤔 What were the warning signs?🤔 What would she do differently next time?And that moment—that choice to study the setback instead of judge herself—was the real breakthrough.That’s the shift I want for you.You don’t need perfection.You need patience. You need resilience.You need tools. You need support.But most of all, you need to know that a bad day doesn’t define you.So, next time you slip, ask yourself:👉 “Am I choosing misery . . . or momentum.”I hope you choose momentum. And I’m here to help you keep moving.
Slimcerely yours℠,
