195: Are you Focusing on the Wrong Thing?

In this episode, we explore why so many of us approach change by trying to fix what we believe is "wrong" with ourselves—and why that mindset often keeps us stuck. We unpack how our brain's negativity bias, our innate desire to belong, and years of exposure to diet culture have taught us to see our bodies and eating habits as problems to solve. Instead of chasing perfection through restriction and self-criticism, this episode invites you to shift your focus toward the person you want to become. You'll learn how changing your thoughts, letting go of diet culture beliefs, leveraging your existing strengths, and approaching your relationship with food and your body with curiosity can build confidence, consistency, and self-compassion. This future-focused, non-diet approach offers a sustainable path toward food freedom by helping you create lasting change from a place of possibility rather than fixing perceived flaws.Join my Nourished Mind + Body Community here!Become a sponsor of the Lose Your Cravings Podcast here!patreon.com/loseyourcravingsGet my FREE Guide: Break Free From Nighttime EatingWant to dive deeper into ending your cravings and overeating once and for all? → Book a call with me!
