How this mental block shows up in everyday decisions

Why it keeps you stuck in cycles of starting and stopping

The simple shift that dissolves it and lets progress happen naturally

Once this block is gone, weight loss stops feeling like an uphill battle — and starts feeling possible again.

If you believe overeating means you’ve failed, weight loss will always feel fragile.

In this episode, I explain why occasional overeating is normal — even for people who stay thin — and how to stop letting it derail your progress. You’ll learn:

Why trying to eliminate overeating completely backfires

How to recover quickly without guilt or restriction

The mindset that keeps one off moment from turning into a pattern

Overeating sometimes doesn’t ruin your results.
Panicking about it does.

Learn how to keep moving forward — calmly and confidently.

If cravings keep winning no matter how disciplined you try to be, the problem isn’t your willpower.

In this episode, I’ll show you how cravings actually work — and how to neutralize them without fighting, resisting, or “white-knuckling” your way through the day. You’ll learn:

Why willpower fails when cravings hit

How to interrupt cravings before they turn into overeating

Simple mental and behavioral shifts that make cravings lose their intensity

When you stop battling cravings and start understanding them, they stop controlling you — and weight loss gets dramatically easier.
