Ever had one bad day and convinced yourself you’d completely failed?
You go slightly over your calories, skip a workout, or eat something you “shouldn’t” have—and suddenly, it feels like everything is ruined. You forget the days (or weeks) of consistency and let one moment define your entire journey.
This is called availability bias—your brain zooming in on what’s most recent and most dramatic, instead of looking at the bigger picture. And if you’re not careful, it can completely wreck your weight loss progress.
In this episode, I break down:
• Why one mistake doesn’t undo all your progress
• How availability bias tricks you into thinking you’ve failed
• The stock market analogy that will change how you see weight loss
• Three practical questions to ask yourself when you feel like giving up
• How to coach yourself based on patterns, not single moments
One bad meal doesn’t make you gain weight, just like one good meal doesn’t make you lean. It’s the long-term trend that matters.
