EPISODE 137: The 3 Psychological Reasons Why You Self-Sabotage (and How to Stop)

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.

And no, it doesn't mean you don't want it enough. Your brain is doing exactly what it was built to do: drag you back to what feels familiar, even when familiar is miserable.

In this episode, Coach Steph and I dig into why you blow it right when things start working, and what to do about it starting today.

In it, you'll hear:

Why some women sabotage before anyone can compliment their weight loss The "pressure cooker" effect: once the jeans fit, the urgency disappears and "you deserve it" takes over How family beliefs like "we're all big eaters" can make losing weight feel like a threat to your relationships Your plan for the moment you head to the pantry after a "good" day The one sentence that strips a sabotage thought of its power: "That's just a thought I'm thinking"

Your brain will fight you on this. Now you'll know what to say back. Listen now.
