Description

Progress photos are supposed to help. But for many, they do the opposite. You take the shot, zoom in, and spiral. Suddenly, your check-in (with a coach or yourself) becomes a trigger. This episode dives into how body image becomes distorted by our expectations, and how to reclaim the process.

If you’ve ever let one photo ruin your week, this one is for you.

🧠 What You’ll Learn:

• Why progress photos are a tool, not a verdict
• How zooming in distorts your perception of progress
• Why your brain can’t emotionally register slow change in real time
• How to build a photo feedback loop that supports, not sabotages, your mindset

✅ Apply This Right Now:

• Set a 4-week photo schedule, no weekly obsession
• Use objective labels only: better, same, or worse
• Compare posture, lighting, and headspace, not just angles
• Anchor 3 non-body goals per week: sleep, steps, training consistency
