Why "Only" Losing One Pound Feels Like Failure (And How to Fix It)
Manage episode 486658891 series 3291058
Are you your own worst enemy when it comes to reaching your health goals?
If you're the type of person who achieves your target but still feels disappointed, who focuses on the handful of mulberries left unpicked rather than the hour you spent harvesting, or who secretly sets impossible standards then beats yourself up for "only" meeting your original goal - this episode is for you.
Dr. Orlena dives deep into the hidden psychology of hyperachieving and reveals how this seemingly positive trait might actually be sabotaging your weight loss and wellness journey. You'll discover why your brain's secret goals are setting you up for failure, learn to recognize the achievement blindness that keeps you feeling inadequate despite real progress, and understand why mastering fewer changes completely trumps attempting everything at once.
Whether you're frustrated by "slow" progress, constantly moving your own goalposts, or find yourself giving up just when you should be celebrating, this episode will help you transform your inner critic into your biggest cheerleader. It's time to break free from the perfectionist prison and start acknowledging the incredible work you're already doing.
Perfect for anyone who's ever felt like their best isn't good enough - because sometimes the problem isn't your effort, it's your perspective.
