Discover the 5 key mental traits that separate people who maintain their weight loss from those who regain everything.

This isn't about genetics or willpower - it's about how successful people think differently. Learn the specific mindset shifts that make lasting results natural instead of a constant struggle.

IMPORTANT POINTS COVERED

1. Systems vs. Goals Thinking

• Maintainers build ongoing habits, not temporary fixes
• "I'm becoming someone who eats intuitively" vs. "I want to lose 30 pounds"
• Systems become part of your identity, goals have endpoints

2. Setbacks as Data, Not Disasters

• Maintainers develop "scientist mindset" - curious, not judgmental
• They ask "What triggered this?" instead of "I've ruined everything"
• Every mistake becomes valuable information for future success

3. Identity-First Approach

• Change who you ARE, not just what you DO
• "I'm someone who nourishes my body well" vs. "I'm trying to eat healthy"
• Your behaviors align with your beliefs about yourself

4. Obstacle Planning

• Successful people plan for challenges, not just success
• They have specific strategies for stress, social events, travel, emotions
• Don't depend on willpower - depend on having a plan

5. Progress Beyond the Scale

• Measure emotional regulation, self-trust, energy, confidence
• Track "How many times did I eat when actually hungry?"
• Real victories: handling stress without food, trusting yourself around trigger foods
