Episode Highlights:

(02:40) โ€ŠWhat is the arrival fallacy? It is the mistaken belief that achieving a specific goal, like reaching your goal weight for example, is going to bring everlasting happiness and fulfillment. It's the idea that everything is magically going to fall into place once you've arrived at your goal weight.

(08:44) The arrival fallacy can make maintenance more challenging; many people find it difficult to maintain their weight loss once they've achieved their goal and think about why. You've been focused on this goal for months, and the motivation that comes with striving toward a goal will be gone once you've reached the goal, so without that motivation, it's really easy to slip back into old habits.
