A setback is information — not your identity and not the end of your journey.

Respond to plateaus, setbacks, returning habits, avoidance, or weight recurrence with curiosity, appropriate clinical follow-up, renewed support, and practical recommitment rather than shame.

  • Recognize common forms of habit drift.
  • Reduce shame and avoidance after setbacks.
  • Identify changes that may have contributed to current difficulty.
  • Reconnect with appropriate professional and social support.
  • Rebuild progress through small, realistic recommitment steps.
