Ep 142:  How Guilt Prevents Weight Loss

If you find yourself feeling guilty every time you even think about that bag of Cheetos, you’re not alone.   But what if I told you that guilt—and its cousin, self-judgment—are not only unnecessary, but actually making your weight loss harder?   Here’s how guilt trips you up, and what you can do about it:   Food Isn’t Bad, and You’re Not Bad for Eating It Food is not a moral issue. Unless you’re stealing your neighbor’s cupcakes eating is just a decision, not a crime.   Guilt Fuels Overeating. The more we tell ourselves we “shouldn’t” have something, the more likely we are to rebel, rush, or even inhale our food—leaving us unsatisfied and, ironically, wanting more.   Curiosity and Kindness Are The New Black When food isn’t vilified and guilt is out of the picture, we’re free to be curious: “How does this taste? Am I still hungry? Does my body like this?” With this kind of insight, decisions around food are so much easier to make.   Ready to step off the guilt-go-round and finally feel free? Join us for this episode of the Weight Loss for Fertility podcast 🎧   Together we'll make meals a pleasant, present experience, not a battleground.
