EP 239. [Self-Sabotage Series] The Dirty Little Secret Behind Emotional Eating—And How to Break Free

Thursday Mar 20, 2025

Thursday Mar 20, 2025

The world feels heavier these days. The news is relentless, stress is high, and your brain is doing everything it can to create a sense of safety. But here’s what no one tells you—your emotional eating has nothing to do with food. It’s not about willpower, discipline, or trying harder.

It’s about self-sabotage as self-protection.

When you don’t know how to process your emotions, your brain looks for the quickest way to escape discomfort. Food. Alcohol. Scrolling. Work. It’s not a lack of control; it’s a survival instinct. But if you don’t address this at the source, you’ll find yourself in the same cycle over and over again.

In the final episode of the Self-Sabotage Series, we’re breaking it all down:

  • Why your brain clings to old habits, even when you’re determined to change
  • How the 24/7 news cycle makes you more vulnerable to emotional eating
  • A simple, strategic plan to help you break free for good

This is the conversation that changes everything.

Inside This Episode, You’ll Learn:

  • The real reason you keep sabotaging your weight loss goals (and why it has nothing to do with discipline)
  • Why emotional eating is a coping mechanism, not a personal failure
  • How constant global uncertainty fuels stress-driven habits
  • The three-step plan to stop reacting to stress with food
  • The one skill you must master to take back control of your body and mind

It’s time to step into something different. If you’re ready, let’s begin.

In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly why you keep quitting, how to tell if you’re making a strategic change or just sabotaging yourself, and the one simple rule that will change everything: The 90-Day Rule.

  • 3 questions to ask yourself to know if you’re really making a smart change

People-pleasing is like the junk drawer of bad habits—it’s packed with random, unnecessary stuff that drains your energy, clutters your mind, and, oh yeah, totally messes with your weight loss goals.
 
You think you’re just being nice, keeping the peace, making sure everyone’s happy. But here’s the truth: Every time you say yes when you want to say no, you’re chipping away at your own well-being.

Wednesday Feb 05, 2025

Wednesday Feb 05, 2025

Why do you keep doing the opposite of what you say you want? You plan to eat healthy, then find yourself elbow-deep in tortilla chips.
 
You lose a few pounds, then suddenly “forget” to meal prep.
 
You’re not lazy, undisciplined, or broken—your brain is just clinging to an identity that no longer serves you.
 
In this episode, I’m breaking down why self-sabotage isn’t really sabotage—it’s just your identity fighting to stay the same. If you don’t shift who you believe you are, you’ll keep sabotaging yourself, no matter how many diets you try.
 
So, if you’re stuck in the same cycle of losing and regaining weight, press play, and let’s get to the root of it.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why self-sabotage is an identity crisis—not a willpower problem
  • The sneaky ways fear of change keeps you stuck in old patterns
  • How diet culture shaped your “health identity” (without you realizing it)
  • 4 powerful steps to shift your identity and stop sabotaging your weight loss
  • Why the key to losing weight for good has nothing to do with food
