In this episode, I talk about something most people don’t even realise is an option on a weight loss journey. We act like when things get hard, the only choices are to keep going or to give up. 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 definitely not the same as starting again on Monday, in January, or on whatever random future date we like to convince ourselves is perfect. This isn’t giving up. This is stepping back just enough to stop yourself from burning out and undoing all your progress.

I walk through the mindset shift required to do this well, why being intentional is the key difference, and how to use damage control mode to maintain your weight when life is overwhelming. I also share how to work out your maintenance calories, what to track, and how this choice respects the effort you’ve already put in.

If you’ve ever hit a wall and thought I can’t keep doing this, this episode will show you how to pause without spiralling. Damage control mode keeps you moving forward, just in a different gear.
