136 ~ Damage Control Mode

Send us a text In this episode, I talk about something most people don’t even realise is an option on a weight loss journey.

But there is a third option that can save your progress, protect your mental bandwidth, and stop you from falling back into that old start again cycle. I call it damage control mode. I explain what damage control actually looks like, why it’s not the same as quitting, and why it’s defini...
