"Progress isn't lost in the slip. It's lost in the story you tell yourself afterwards."
From The Psychology of Weight Loss · Darren Tebbenham, BSc, MSc
Your Gloo Profile1 / 13
Question 01 · 13
When a good week unravels, how does it usually happen?
Think about the last time things were going well — then didn't.
One bad day turns into "I'll start again Monday" — and Monday keeps moving
I negotiate with myself in the moment and convince myself a compromise is fine
I do well on weekdays but weekends feel like a completely different person takes over
I draw a sharp line — everything's erased and I want to start completely fresh
Question 02 · 13
What does your internal voice say when you've eaten something you didn't plan to?
Be honest — this is just for you.
The day's already gone — I may as well enjoy the rest of it and reset tomorrow
I tell myself I'll compensate later, but that rarely happens
It's fine, it's the weekend — weekdays are when it counts
This approach isn't working. I need to rethink everything from scratch
Question 03 · 13
When you think about your energy levels, which feels most accurate?
Not what you wish were true — what's actually true.
I have good patches and bad patches — when it's bad, everything feels harder
I'm good at starting but I run out of steam before I see results
I'm switched on at work all week then completely flat by the weekend
I feel energised when I start something new — it fades when the novelty does
Question 04 · 13
How would you describe your relationship with food when stress is high?
Work pressure, family demands, a difficult week.
It goes out the window entirely — I'll sort it when things calm down
I make deals with myself — if I get through today I deserve this
I hold it together during the week but stress finds food on a Friday evening
I decide the whole approach wasn't right and look for something better
Question 05 · 13
What's the story you tell yourself about why you haven't sorted this yet?
The one you come back to most often.
I keep having setbacks that derail me — if I could just get a clear run at it
I know what to do, but in the moment I talk myself out of it
I'm consistent when structure is there — it's the unstructured time that gets me
I haven't found the right method yet — the one that actually fits how I am
Question 06 · 13
When you imagine yourself having truly sorted this — fit, consistent, feeling good — what feels most real about that picture?
What does that version of you look like day to day?
They've finally stopped starting again — they just carry on, even through the hard bits
They make decisions without all the negotiating — they just do what they said they'd do
They don't have a "weekday version" and a "weekend version" — it's just one person
They've stopped overhauling everything — they've found a way and stuck with it
Question 07 · 13
How do you respond when someone else is doing well with their health and fitness?
Your honest first reaction.
I feel inspired for about a day — then something happens and I'm back where I was
I think "I could do that" — then I find a reason it wouldn't work for me right now
I'm a bit envious — I'm fine during the week but I can't seem to hold it together at weekends
I'm interested in their method — maybe that's what I've been missing
Question 08 · 13
When you've tried to change before, what's usually the thing that ends it?
The specific trigger, not the general story.
A bad week, an illness, a holiday — and then the momentum is gone
I have a moment of weakness, reason my way into it, and then the pattern reasserts itself
Friday arrives and everything I did right during the week seems to evaporate
I realise the approach isn't giving me what I expected — and I start researching alternatives
Question 09 · 13
What's your relationship with exercise on a bad week?
Not on a good week — on a genuinely hard one.
It's the first thing to go — I'll catch up when things ease off
I have good intentions but I talk myself out of it one day at a time
I still train in the week but the weekend is where I self-sabotage
I use the bad week as evidence this routine isn't right and look for a new one
Question 10 · 13
How do you feel on a Sunday evening about the week ahead?
Your default emotional state, not the occasional good one.
Cautiously optimistic — this week might be different, even if last week wasn't
Determined — until Wednesday, usually
Quietly relieved the weekend is over — now I can be disciplined again
Ready to try the new approach I've been thinking about since Friday
Question 11 · 13
When you think about joining a group programme, what's the first resistance that comes up?
The thought that lands in about three seconds.
What if I have a bad week and let the group down — or they see me fail?
I'll probably be good for a while and then find a reason it's not the right time
I worry about weekends — I'm not sure I can hold it together outside of the structure
Is this programme different enough from what I've tried before?
Question 12 · 13
How do you feel when you're doing well — genuinely on a good streak?
The emotional texture of it, not just the facts.
I feel relieved and hopeful — but there's always a quiet dread that something will knock it
I feel in control and capable — which makes it more confusing when I then self-sabotage
It feels great during the week — then I feel almost entitled to let go at the weekend
Excited and energised by the new approach — until it starts to feel familiar
Question 13 · 13
What does "permanent change" mean to you — not the goal, but what you believe about whether it's possible for you?
Your deepest honest answer.
I think it's possible — I just haven't found a way to survive the setbacks without losing everything
I believe it's possible in theory — but in practice I keep getting in my own way
I know I can do it on weekdays — I just haven't worked out how to be the same person at weekends
I think I'll find it when I find the right approach — I just haven't hit it yet

Within Your Ten Weeks · The Question Stack
Four questions that dismantle the pattern.
Used at the right moment in the coaching work, these reach the layer of your pattern that no plan, macro-count, or workout programme has ever touched.
"What meaning are you giving this — to give it the power it has?"
"Imagine walking in the footsteps of your future self. How would they tackle this?"
"Looking back as You 2.0 — someone who has already solved this — how did you do it?"
"There is no reality, only perception. What story are you telling — and what would change if you told a better one?"
