The Upper Limit Problem: The Closer You Get, the Harder Your Brain Fights Back
Why do we sabotage ourselves right when we start losing weight?
It’s not failure you’re afraid of. It’s what happens if you actually succeed.
That’s when your brain kicks in with excuses, slips, and “I’ll start again Monday.” Not because you don’t want it… but because success can feel just as scary as failure.
In this episode, we break down why sabotage shows up, how to spot it, and what to do when you hit that “upper limit.”
