195 - The reason you rip the piss on your bithday

Why does a single birthday so often turn into a birthday weekend, a birthday week or even a birthday month?For many people, it is not really about celebrating. When you spend normal life stuck in rigid food rules, a birthday can become a free pass to finally stop restricting and eat the things you have been telling yourself you are not allowed.In this episode, recorded just after my 41st birthday, I explain why special occasions can become an escape from dieting and why the real solution is not to stop celebrating. It is to build a way of eating you do not constantly need a break from.In this episode, I cover:Why birthday weeks are often a symptom of chronic dieting.How self-imposed food rules can make celebrations feel like a free pass.Why restriction and rebound behaviour keep reinforcing each other.The difference between enjoying a birthday and using it to escape your normal life.How to create a relationship with food where one celebration does not turn into a spiral.If this episode helped you see your relationship with food differently, I would really appreciate a rating and a short review. It helps me reach more people who are trapped in the yo-yo dieting cycle.Send me your question or feedback 📨Are you ready to lose weight for the LAST time with my direct support and guidance?Start your 30-day trial TODAY >> CLICK HERE
