Sounds harsh, right? But here’s the truth: you are never going to stop overeating completely — and that’s actually the secret to lasting weight loss.
In this episode, I flip the script on perfectionism and show you why trying to “never overeat again” sets you up to fail. Instead, you’ll learn how to:
Take the shame out of slip-ups so they stop turning into spirals
Build a healthy relationship with food that allows for real life
Create a mindset where one off-plan meal doesn’t undo your progress
When you stop chasing perfection, you unlock freedom — and ironically, that’s when weight loss gets a whole lot easier.
