Eric Roberts argues that reaching your goal body doesn't deliver lasting happiness because it ties self-worth to appearance alone. Instead, build confidence through daily habits and small wins you can control, not mirror validation that fluctuates.
I've met a lot of people who have hit their goal body and they're the least confident they've ever been in their entire life. They're just focused on their body. I have not met a single person who wakes up and is like, I just love my body every day. But if you are approaching it that you say, I'm going to put my self-worth into my daily actions. And if I'm checking off these boxes every single day, and if I'm doing the things I know I should be doing, then your confidence grows because it's about the wins you take every single day. And it's about building the that proof that you've done it every single day. And that feels way better than just looking in the mirror and objectively saying, I look good, or I feel good, or I don't look good, or I don't feel good.
