Getting off plan happens. That’s not failure — it’s being human.
What stops progress isn’t the slip. It’s the urge to punish yourself afterward.
Skipping meals, fasting to “make up for it,” or trying to be extra strict doesn’t build consistency — it trains your brain to associate food with guilt.
Real progress comes from one simple move: returning to the plan at the next meal.
No drama. No compensation. Just course-correct and keep going.
And that’s how weight loss actually works.
