Ep #20: When You WANT to Overeat (And How to Stop)
Manage episode 396159438 series 3550384
Here’s one of the most challenging things about weight loss…
Picture this: You're eating the most delicious burger and fries you’ve ever had. Or pizza. Or chocolate cake.
You're loving it. It tastes amazing. You never want this experience to end. But then... boom - there’s the signal from our body: you’ve had enough.
Damnit.
You don't want to stop. It tastes so good. You just want to eat it all.
And then your brain starts in with alllll the reasons you should just go ahead and finish it.
“You’ve had a hard day - you deserve it.”
“This costs money - you don’t want to waste it!”
“This won’t taste good if I save it for tomorrow - better just finish it now.”
I get it. Wanting to stop eating when the food tastes amazing was one of the hardest habits I had to break when I lost 35lbs back in 2019.
I don’t even get it right 100% of the time, but I’ve learned how to make not overeating feel SO much easier.
It’s NORMAL to struggle to put the fork down when the food is so tasty. We all struggle with this. We all overeat for plenty of reasons.
And just because you set a goal to lose weight (and you REALLY want to get there) doesn’t make stopping before you've cleaned your plate an easy task.
But it’s not an impossible task.
In fact, it can feel SO much better with a couple of easy-to-practice techniques and a few mindset shifts - and that’s exactly what I’m sharing with you on today’s episode of The Weight Loss Doesn’t Have to Suck Podcast.
Learning how to stop overeating does not have to be a constant mental battle. If you want to make restriction-free weight loss WAY easier, you’re not going to want to miss this episode.
