I lost 10 pounds in 21 days, and it started with my weight going up, not a plan. This episode isn't about the number on the scale. It's about what almost happened to my head in the middle of the setback that came before it.

What you'll learn:

• Why the weight I gained wasn't fat showing up overnight: it was my third round of prednisone this year doing exactly what it does to fluid and appetite
• The two psychology traps that turn an ordinary setback into "this is just my new floor now"
• What my actual year has looked like: five setbacks, including a hysterectomy and three rounds of prednisone
• A small, two-day shift in a decades-old chocolate craving I'm not building a theory around yet, but wanted to tell you about
