Lapse, Relapse, and Collapse

Season 3 · Episode 8

Wednesday, November 13, 2024 • Duration 45:25

Get excited! DoctorXDietitian is now The Weight Loss Collab! Dr. Dovec and Hannah are still here to bring you all the fun while helping you along your weight loss and health journey!

In this episode, Dr. Betsy Dovec and dietitian Hannah Schuyler dive into three common phases in any weight loss or personal transformation journey: lapse, relapse, and collapse. They discuss how these setbacks naturally show up in the lives of those preparing for or recovering from bariatric surgery, pursuing medical weight loss, or even just aiming for personal growth. Through real-life examples and expert advice, Betsy and Hannah explore why each of these stages happens and how they can become stepping stones rather than obstacles.

They define lapse as a minor slip from your plan, such as an unplanned meal or missed workout, emphasizing self-compassion and learning from triggers. Relapse occurs when these slips become more frequent, often due to stress or life challenges. In these cases, reconnecting with support, reassessing goals, and breaking the relapse pattern are key strategies. Finally, they address collapse, when old habits take over entirely, sharing how to reignite commitment by starting with small steps and refocusing on your original motivation.

Each setback, they explain, offers an opportunity for growth, not just in weight loss but in all areas of personal development. By listening in, you’ll learn practical strategies to approach any setback with resilience and a growth mindset. Join us in this episode of The Weight Loss Collab for an empowering look at handling setbacks, staying on track, and achieving lasting transformation.
