“Everybody is different and it’s not going to be 100% everyday. Expecting yourself to be a certain number everyday, all day, everyday, when it’s not going to be will stress you out.” - Anonymous

One way to overcome this is to focus on overall trends and patterns rather than getting caught up in specific numbers. It's also important to remember that each person's body and health journey is unique. Listen to your body and make adjustments accordingly.

Seeking support from your healthcare team and connecting with others who have similar experiences can also be helpful in managing expectations and finding ways to cope with individual differences.
