If you’ve ever said “I’ve got to buckle down and get back on track,” this episode is your wake-up call. We’re unpacking diet mentality—the shamey, rule-based thinking that actually makes weight loss harder—and replacing it with choices that come from you (not from fear).Many women don't recognize that they actually do have diet mentality towards healthy eating- "on/off plan," "get back to it"- and I go over the three sneaky hallmarks so you can know if that's you.In this episode you’ll learn:The hallmarks of diet mentality: “can’t have,” on/off thinking, wagon mythology, and how bad you feel after going “off plan.”Why shame and perfectionism create more overeating (hello, nervous system shutdown + rebellion).How long “getting back on” takes is a clue you’re trapped in rules, not self-leadership.The difference between permission and license (compassion ≠ “eat whatever”).A simple shift: move from external rules to intrinsic choices that honor your body today and how you want to feel tomorrow.Try this instead:Replace “I can’t have that” with “I can have it—do I want it now, and how will I feel after?”Ask, “Counts to who?” and decide what’s good enough for me today.Choose with your future self in mind: light, lean, energized after you eat.Burn the wagon. This is your life—not an on/off plan.If you want peace with food and results that last, trade rule-following for self-trust and compassionate leadership. That’s where freedom (and consistency) live.If this helped you, follow the show and share it with a friend who needs a doable, sane path. 💛During Weight Loss for Life launch celebration special Founder's pricing ends Tuesday 11/4 at midnight CT!If you've ever wanted coaching with me this is a great moment to join.
