No two zebras share the same stripe pattern. Behavioral science says we work the same way.
Research shows up to 80% of people who lose weight regain it within a year. Not because they stopped trying. Because cookie-cutter programs are built around an average person that does not exist. Everyone's pattern is different. Just like the stripes.
The cues that trigger eating habits, the reward loops that reinforce them, the environmental factors that make or break consistency are different for every person based on history, wiring, and lived experience.
It is not a discipline problem. It is a design problem.
Habit change that holds starts with understanding your own pattern first. Not borrowing someone else's plan and hoping it translates.
That is the foundation The Habit Compass is built on.
If you have ever followed a program that worked for a while but did not stick, drop a 🦓 or any emoji in the comments.
You are not alone and you are not the problem.
