You wanted this for so long. So why does getting here feel a little flat?
Clinical psychologist and sleep expert Dr. Beverley David joins Odette to explain why reaching your goal weight can bring a letdown instead of a lift, and why that's a normal human response, not a sign you're failing. She breaks down how anticipation and dopamine carry us through big changes, how hedonic adaptation makes even major wins feel ordinary fast, and why calm can feel strange if you grew up watching the people around you go on and off diets. She also shares her three-step approach for this stage and why your next goal may have nothing to do with the scale.
