183 ~ You Need Safety Nets

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, I talk about one of the most powerful tools you can use to lose weight and change your relationship with food: safety nets. These simple boundaries help you stay in a calorie deficit, stop the mindless eating that sneaks in throughout the day, and rebuild trust with yourself while you work on long term change.I share examples from my own 201 pound loss and from inside Flamingo Forum, including things like eating with the fridge door open, grabbing bites during meal prep, overeating after weigh in day, and why I used to eat hot dogs straight from the package. More importantly, I walk you through how to spot your own patterns and create safety nets that actually support you.If you feel like you keep sabotaging yourself or you cannot trust yourself around food, this episode will help you understand what is going on and what to do next.In this episode I cover:• What safety nets are and why they work• How they help you stay in a deficit without feeling deprived• Why trust and time matter more than willpower• How to use the 7 Pillars to build your own safety nets• My favorite starter safety nets you can try todayStarter safety nets to try:• Eat whatever you want, just less of it• My hands are empty when I chew• I do not eat standing up• I do not eat in the car• I do not eat from the packagingIf you want coaching, support, or a community that understands exactly what you are working on, you can join me inside Flamingo Forum.
