And we keep telling ourselvesâŠ
âThis time Iâll try harder.â
If youâre in that familiar cycle right nowâbeing âgoodâ, slipping, and feeling like you need to start againâyouâre far from alone đ
But what if the real question isnât how to do it better?
What if itâs whether this cycle is actually working for you at all?
The one that goes:
Be âgoodâ â mess up â beat yourself up â repeat đ
Over and over again.
What if you donât need another restartâŠ
What if you need to recognise that you were never the problem in the first place? âš
That itâs the cycleâand diet culture that keeps it goingâthatâs the problem.
If this feels a bit too familiar, Iâve written more about it (and what to do instead) over on Substack đ
