I am going to say the unpopular thing, and I know a lot of weight loss coaches will disagree with me. The all-or-nothing mindset may actually work in your favor to help you lose weight, especially if you are a Type-A perfectionist.And, your brain probably just got whiplash, because every therapist and weight loss coach has told you that all-or-nothing thinking is toxic. But if moderation and intuitive eating actually worked, you wouldn’t be listening to this episode right now. These approaches aren’t wrong for everyone. But they might be wrong for you. Together, we will investigate:Why "everything in moderation" is the exact reason why certain women can’t lose weight.The surprising personality type that often does better with an all-or-nothing approach.How your brain negotiates with you during your weight loss journey, and why it usually wins.The hidden downside of "just one bite" that nobody talks about.Why setting stricter rules can actually create more freedom around food.Connect with Holly:▶️ GET ON THE PRIORITY LIST TO BECOME A SUSTAINABLE WEIGHT LOSS MACHINE - https://academy.pinkfortitude.com/pl-machine-reg▶️ FREE EMOTIONAL EATING PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE - https://pinkfortitude.mykajabi.com/weight-quiz▶️ JOIN THE BREAK EMOTIONAL EATING ACCELERATOR - https://academy.pinkfortitude.com/break-emotional-eating-accelerator▶️ APPLY FOR ELITE-LEVEL PRIVATE COACHING WITH HOLLY - https://wkf.ms/3XtDIKV▶️QUIT SUGAR IN 5 DAYS - https://academy.pinkfortitude.com/register-for-sugar▶️ SUBSCRIBE TO SUBSTACK - https://substack.com/@hollybertone▶️ FOLLOW HOLLY BERTONE ON INSTAGRAM - @holly.bertone If this is your vibe, be sure to hit the follow button where you are listening and also tap those 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and leave a great review.

At 39, I had the perfect life, and I was on top of the world.  I was the FBI’s Chief of Staff for the Counterintelligence Program Office. I had just “retired” from competitive mountain bike racing, and I was athletic, I had a smokin' bod, and I felt unstoppable.

But I had become a Certified Holistic Health Coach, had 4 different certifications in health, nutrition, and metabolic health under my belt, and still couldn’t control myself around food.In today's episode, you're going to learn how I cracked the code and didn’t just get back to the healthy weight that I used to be when I was a competitive mountain bike racer; I completely obliterated the cravings and the emotional eating. Together, we will investigate:The story I’ve never fully told… about how I went from peak performance to completely losing myself.What it’s really like to look like you have it all together but still feel completely out of control with food.The uncomfortable truth about why “being overweight” feels normal, but isn’t.Why losing weight won’t fix your life, and what actually does.The identity shift that finally breaks emotional eating (and why no diet can touch it).How being out of integrity with yourself shows up in your eating.[SUBSTACK] Subscribe here▶️ https://substack.com/@hollybertoneConnect with Holly:▶️ GET ON THE PRIORITY LIST TO BECOME A SUSTAINABLE WEIGHT LOSS MACHINE - https://academy.pinkfortitude.com/pl-machine-reg▶️ FREE EMOTIONAL EATING PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE - https://pinkfortitude.mykajabi.com/weight-quiz▶️ JOIN THE BREAK EMOTIONAL EATING ACCELERATOR - https://academy.pinkfortitude.com/break-emotional-eating-accelerator▶️ APPLY FOR ELITE-LEVEL PRIVATE COACHING WITH HOLLY - https://wkf.ms/3XtDIKV▶️QUIT SUGAR IN 5 DAYS - https://academy.pinkfortitude.com/register-for-sugar▶️ SUBSCRIBE TO SUBSTACK - https://substack.com/@hollybertone▶️ FOLLOW HOLLY BERTONE ON INSTAGRAM - @holly.bertone If this is your vibe, be sure to hit the follow button where you are listening and also tap those 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and leave a great review.
