Summer's here. Kids are home. Pool parties are starting.

And if you're like most people, you're already panicking about losing progress.

Here's a reframe that might help:

The average person gains about a pound a year. And most of that happens in summer and the holidays. So if you come out of the next three months at the same weight? You're ahead of the game.

This week's episode is about how to do that—without white-knuckling through every cookout or missing out on the season you've been waiting for.

We talk about the one meal to lock in, the slot method for building plates at any gathering, and the balloon analogy for keeping momentum without being perfect.
