Kathy hit her goal weight by her birthday, then watched it creep back up. The real shift wasn't the number on the scale. It was deciding she was someone who lives healthily every day, making small choices that stick, and treating where she is now as a starting point, not a finish line.
I used to think that it was this end goal that once you would reach, like I always said, okay, by my birthday, I'm going to be at my goal weight. By my birthday, I'm going to be at my goal weight. And then a lot of times I would reach it and then I couldn't understand then what would happen between end of October to February. Like, why was the weight bouncing up? Well, the identity shift of, I'm a person who likes to live healthily and the healthy weight is whatever all of these other metrics need to be. It's not about the number on the scale. It's about what am I doing in the small moments throughout the course of the year that really give me the sense of feeling like this is a lifestyle I I am somebody who loves to be able to take care of myself and by virtue then to be able to be there for others. So it's absolutely much less about I've reached like a goalpost and said, okay, done, I stick my flag in the ground, and more about, okay, here's where we're at right now, what do we need to do next?
