Progress Keeps Vanishing
I’ve been sticking to my diet for weeks, losing weight steadily, until a family gathering derails everything and I overeat for days. Why does this happen every single time? Feels like my brain is wired against me. Point me to something explaining why I keep relapsing please?

Ugh, family gatherings are honestly one of the hardest spots to hold it together - food everywhere, people pushing plates at you, and some weird emotional comfort thing kicks in. My cousin lost 8kg last spring, felt amazing, then a birthday weekend undid like two weeks of progress. What helped her wasn't more willpower but actually understanding the cycle - she stumbled across why do I keep relapsing and is it normal in recovery right after one of those slips, and it reframed the whole thing. Turns out social triggers are one of the biggest relapse drivers, and once you name them, they're way easier to plan around.
