EPISODE 94: "I have a snacking addiction and I always tell myself, 'Today I'm going to stop' but I just repeat the cycle."
Outsmart OvereatingShow Notes
If you feel "addicted" to snacking, pulled to food even when you're full, or stuck in a nightly cycle of overeating and guilt, this episode is for you.
In this episode of the Outsmart Overeating Podcast, Coach Steph Miramontes and I break down a Reddit post that perfectly captures what so many chronic dieters experience, especially during the holidays: constant food noise, autopilot snacking, and the belief that willpower is the problem.
Spoiler: it's not.
We unpack what's actually driving these urges -- habit loops, restriction, and sneaky thoughts that keep you stuck -- and show you how to interrupt them without cutting out foods or relying on discipline.
You'll also get access to my FREE workbook: "25 Mic-Drop Scripts to Clap Back at 'One Bite Won't Hurt' and 24 Other Sneaky Thoughts That Sabotage Weight Loss," so you're not trying to fight urges in the moment without a plan.
You're not broken. You're not addicted. You've just been solving the wrong problem, and this episode shows you a better way.

"It's just a few bites." "A little won't hurt."
You've been "so good" for two weeks. Your jeans button without a fight. Then one night you're in the pantry with a box of Goldfish wondering what on earth just happened.
"I don't want to deprive myself."
You were on point all week. Then somebody brought cookies to the office, you had one, and the whole day was shot. So you finished the box and swore you'd start fresh Monday.
100 days is not a small number. It's enough time to build a habit, stress-test it during the holidays, and walk into January already ahead instead of starting from zero.
