EP#433: She Dieted for 30 Years and Never Felt Free...This Finally Changed It
Dieting from the Inside OutShow Notes
Effie had been dieting since she was 17. Thirty years of counting calories, hitting 1,200 a day, going to bed starving, and starting over every time she fell off. The food was never really the problem. What was running underneath it never got addressed, so every plan eventually broke down.
She stopped working on the food and started working on what was driving it. Now she keeps the foods she used to binge on in the house, eats more than she did on any diet she's tried, and hasn't called herself a dieter once.
What we get into: - What 30 years of counting calories does to your relationship with food - Why the foods she kept out of the house were the ones she'd lose control around everywhere else - The self-talk that followed a bad weigh-in, and what it set off - What she thought her problem was before this, and why she had it wrong - How she got through a family trip and a layoff without turning to food - Why eating more ended up being part of the answer

You're disciplined everywhere else. But once the kids are in bed and the house goes quiet, you're standing in the pantry eating chips you don't even want. That's not a willpower problem. It's your nervous system looking for relief, and food is the fastest relief you've got.

If you think about food from the moment you wake up until you go to bed, I want you to hear this: that's common, but it's not normal. And it's not because you lack willpower or discipline. Food noise has real causes, and once you understand which ones are running for you, you can actually turn it down.
