EPISODE 116: BBQs, Buffets, and Open Bars: Why You Can't Stop Grazing (Even Though You're Not Hungry)

We're SUPER-DUPER EXCITED to announce our brand-spankin' new mini-course, Your Summer Grill & Chill Playbook!

If you can eat "normally" during the week but completely lose control around food at summer BBQs, vacations, weddings, beach days, boating trips, or parties... this episode is for you.

Because the problem isn't a lack of discipline.

In this conversation, Steph and I unpack why summer social events feel so hard for chronic dieters and why it's so easy to go from feeling in control to grazing, overeating, and spiraling into guilt by the end of the weekend.

We break down the hidden psychology behind social eating, including food noise, people-pleasing, mindless grazing, and all-or-nothing thinking that keeps you stuck in the "start over Monday" cycle.

Most importantly, we're giving you practical tools you can start using immediately so you can enjoy summer without obsessing over food.

In this episode, we cover:

Why summer events trigger overeating so easily The surprising reason grazing keeps you stuck Why dieting increases food obsession at parties and vacations The mindset shift that helps you stop eating without feeling deprived Simple strategies to feel calm and in control around food all summer long

... and so much more! Tune in now.
