In this episode, Shira discusses the common misconception that there is a healthy way to lose an unhealthy amount of weight. She shares her experience with a young starlet who was willing to do anything to achieve a certain look for her breakout role. It’s important to be wary of pursuing an unhealthy goal, or a goal that encourages unhealthy behaviors. Instead, consider having incremental goals that can be checked off weekly or monthly and prioritizing sustainability to avoid setting oneself up for failure.

Some questions to consider when setting realistic and sustainable goals:

• Have you ever achieved your aesthetic goals before?
• How long ago did you achieve this goal?
• Did you do it in a healthy way? What sort of behaviors did you change or introduce?

We’d love to hear from you! Have you ever pursued a goal that wasn’t exactly good for you? What is an incremental goal that you felt really worked? Have you evolved your goals as you’ve gotten older? DM Shira on Instagram  or tell us your thoughts via an Apple Podcast review.
