In this brief conversational excerpt from a YouTube video on fat‑loss mindset, Speaker A asks Speaker B about the experience of losing weight and then slipping back into old habits. Speaker B explains that they originally adopted a "only three‑months" mindset—thinking that if they could stay on track for three months, the weight loss would become permanent. However, each time they reverted to previous habits, the weight came back. Over time, they shifted their approach: instead of rigidly denying cravings, they now allow themselves small treats (e.g., a piece of chocolate) when cravings arise, using a flexible, permissive strategy rather than strict restriction. The exchange highlights the psychological cycle of short‑term commitment, relapse, and the adoption of a more sustainable, balanced eating mindset.

Yeah, my mindset was like, oh, if I invest this 3 months, if I lose my weight, it's like I'm not going to gain it forever. Okay, that was my mindset. Like, only 3 months, do this. Stop it and go back to your habits. I was really not— but every time you used to— yeah, yeah, if I go to my old habits again, same thing happens. And one great thing that I observe is like now whenever I feel like eating something sweet, like little chocolate or something, instead of resisting that and saying myself like, wait for 3 months, then you can have chocolate
