ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Ever wondered why reaching your goal weight doesn't automatically bring lasting peace? Ethan sits down with Paige Dorian to explore the difference between misguided confidence in fad diets and true certainty in long-term habits. Ethan shares how relying on temporary weight loss schemes repeatedly failed him, and why planning for maintenance must begin on day one. Together, they unpack the psychological arrival fallacy and discuss how finding daily satisfaction in small health wins is the key to sustainable success.
