Ep 194: Listen in on my Food Date

I had a Girl Dinner the other night, but it wasn't the good kind 😜   It doesn’t happen often, but when I find myself chasing hunger, I stop, put on my detective hat and go on a Food Date.   Be a fly on the wall in this week's episode of the Weight Loss for Fertility podcast as I go through my easy evaluation process (aka Food Date) to find out what happened and what I can learn about myself for next time.   Here’s what that looks like:   ✅ Start with what went right Even on an “off” day, I followed my hunger cues. No beating myself up for being hungrier than usual. After all, hunger is just a message, not a moral shortcoming.   🧐 Get curious—not critical—about what didn’t work Lunch was a patchwork of not-much-protein because my go-to options weren’t stocked (post-trip fridge problems). Dinner? I gambled on a protein bar… it didn’t pay off. Cue the hunger chase.   🩷 Plan a kind, realistic next step Next time I get back from a trip, I’ll make double-sure there’s real-deal protein ready to go (shoutout to Trader Joe’s frozen meals for emergencies). Just a little extra planning can save a whole lotta discomfort. There’s no room for self-criticism at this table. We can turn every food fumble into gentle insight—so much easier to find what works that way. Then weight loss isn't harsh or scary. It's simple and friendly. That's the only way the weight stays off forever.
