The Happy Weight Podcast

Aoife Deane. Dietitian, Hypnotherapist

Hi, I’m Aoife. I’m a Registered Dietitian with an MSc in Nutritional Medicine and a Clinical Hypnotherapist. But my most important qualification is that I started dieting at 11 and spent the next 18 years yo-yo dieting, moving up and down four dress sizes and developing binge eating disorder and bulimia. I used to envy slim people who loved food, but didn’t obsess over it. Now I’m one of them. Through this podcast, I’d love to share the skills, tools, and mindset I learned through my own struggles

EP104.Boredom & Bingeing

The Happy Weight Podcast ·

2026/05/18

Hosting a party this week meant I needed to do a lot of cleaning and housework. Instead of getting started, I spent 2 days eating more chocolate than I have in ages and playing video games on my phone. It reminded me so clearly of how things used to feel when I did that all the time. In this episode, I talk about spotting our patterns, becoming more aware of our needs, emotional and physical cues, and reducing the number of times we end up in situations where using food to medicate emotions feels

2026/05/11

When we're feeling burnt out, demotivated, something is up. This is not on track. We can keep forgetting that the joy is IN the journey, and if there's not joy in the journey we're probably heading in the wrong direction. Especially when it comes to improved mental and physical health and an improved relationship with food. This episode is to help you feel more energised as you move forward, being aware of how our mind sabbotages that and can make us go back to feeling stuck.For online

EP102. Stop "Trying" to lose weight

The Happy Weight Podcast ·

2026/05/04

When we're "trying" to lose weight, we go through our day coming from a place of "I'm a fat person trying to get slim."We make choices, comments, and practice thoughts that a person without a weight problem would never. And so, with every day that passes, we are becoming less like a person who doesn't have eating and weight issues.In this episode, I walk through what a typical day : how we'd normally act or respond Vs how we'd act or respond as someone without

EP 99. How your mind makes you overeat

The Happy Weight Podcast ·

2026/04/13

The difficult part about coming out of eating and weight issues is that our mind plays the same tricks on us, over and over again, that make us go back to mindless eating, overeating, and binging. It's not just about weight; it's about missing out on a nice relationship with food because of the stories our mind tells us or the addictive, negative thoughts we keep telling ourselves that block us from our goal.In this episode, I clear these up, so you will be so much more aware the next time

The Happy Weight Podcast ·

2026/03/24

Dieting is different than becoming your ideal weight. Becoming your ideal weight means no longer doing things that a dieter in a diet/ overeat cycle would do. Being intentional about results means intentionally stopping things we did often in a weight problem. If you struggle with overeating, weight worries, or a difficult relationship with food, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.I’m Aoife Deane, Registered Dietitian (MSc Nutritional Medicine) and Clinical

The Happy Weight Podcast ·

2026/03/10

As comfort eaters, dieting is more likely to make us gain weight, through off phases, cheat days and binge eating. Letting go of a weight problem is very different when we are looking at things more permanently, and also once we accept what we can and cannot do, rather than forcing what has never worked. This episodes give you some steers if you are a comfort eater / emotional eater or binge eater who is keen to let go of some weight and develop a better relationship with food Happy Weight
