Why Do I Eat Against My Will?

THE CONFIDENT BODY PODCAST - Brain-based strategies... ·

2026/10/07

If you've ever thought "How do I stop binging an what do I do after a binge?" then this episode is for you.The short answer is that your eating makes sense, even when it feels out of control. Overeating and binge eating are signals, like a light on your car's dashboard. They point to something going on underneath, such as shame, restriction, stress, or feelings you don't have another way to handle yet. Maybe you eat half a box of cereal standing in the kitchen. Maybe you eat in the car so nobody

Why You Keep Sabotaging Yourself

"I want to go for my goal and lose weight but..."This isn't the right season." "I should focus on my health first." "Once things calm down at work." In this episode, I'm talking about the four sneaky ways fear shows up and tries to pass itself off as good judgment. I share the story of a thermostat quietly running in the background of your brain, keeping you exactly as small as it thinks is safe. And I walk through the same four step process my own coach used with me when I got nervous before

If you’ve ever thought "I'll do that when I've lost the weight." or "Who am I to think my voice matters?" then this episode is for YOU. This is episode #200! Happy birthday Confident Body podcast! When I started this podcast, I almost didn't. I wanted a co-host because I didn't think I could carry a whole show by myself. I was scared I'd run out of things to say. (Guess that wasn’t an issue.) Even though I was scared, I started messy, and I kept going. Two hundred episodes later, I want to talk

Your Wiring Isn't The Problem

2026/07/29

Why personality tests can explain a lot, but they are not your identity.Have you ever known exactly what you were supposed to do and done the opposite thing anyway? You know the plan. You know you should rest instead of reaching for a snack. And somehow you end up in the pantry anyway. In this episode, I sit down with life coach Kelly Tibbitts for a podcast swap. Kelly is an expert in the Enneagram and human design, and we talk about why knowing what to do and actually doing it are two completely

Binge Eating Isn't a Character Flaw

2026/07/22

Who Are You Really Hiding From? Have you ever eaten something completely alone? In your car, in a closet, with the door locked, just so nobody would see. And then made sure there was no evidence left behind. If that's you, I want you to know you are so not alone. In this episode, I'm joined by Amber Abila, a binge eating coach and host of the Become a Confident Eater podcast. Amber spent years in her own cycle of restriction and bingeing before she found her way out, and now she helps women

I Just Want To Quit

You get home from vacation. You step on the scale. The number is up, and just like that, your whole summer of hard work feels like it disappeared. A little voice starts talking. What if you just stopped trying so hard? What if you let the healthy stuff slide and went back to how things used to be? In this episode, I talk about that voice. Where it comes from, and why the "easy" life you remember might not have been as easy as you think. I also share some surprising brain science about memory, and

The Secret Formula You’ve Been Hunting For

THE CONFIDENT BODY PODCAST - Brain-based strategies... ·

2026/07/08

The answer to “When will I ever figure this out?” Have you ever felt like you are one rule away from finally getting this right? Like the secret is out there somewhere, and you just have not found it yet. I felt that way for eighteen years about a book called The Alchemist. I read it once and did not get it at all. Then I picked it up again on a long drive last week, and it hit me completely differently this time. This episode is about that search. The one we are all doing every day, standing in the

Why Your Brain Won't Let You Feel Good

2026/07/01

If you've ever done everything right and still couldn't silence the voice saying "This will never work" this one's for you. You're doing everything right. You're eating better, moving more, making choices you feel good about. And then out of nowhere, the old thoughts show up. "This will never work." "I always mess this up." "I never make real progress." And some part of you just lets them in. If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you. Because the problem isn't your willpower, your plan, or

Why Your Boundaries Never Stick

2026/06/24

What Happens When You Always Say Yes Have you ever set a boundary with someone, felt good about it for about five minutes, and then started feeling guilty like you did something wrong? In this episode, I talk with Dr. Kelly Kessler, a physical therapist turned nervous system educator, about something called self-abandonment. It's the habit of putting everyone else first so often that you forget what you actually want or need. We get into why your boundaries might get pushback, even from people who

The "F" Word: Why Failure Feels Like A Fact

2026/06/10

You know that moment. You had a plan. You felt good about it. And then one unplanned meal, one late night, one vacation evening and before you've even put the dish in the sink, the word shows up.Failure. And it doesn't feel like a word. It feels like a verdict. Your brain lines up the evidence. You're not trying hard enough. You never stick with anything. You're never going to change. And what started as one bowl of ice cream at 9pm has somehow become a statement about who you permanently are. This

Two Kinds of Hungry

2026/05/27

Have you ever found yourself eating something and realized you don't quite remember deciding to eat it? Your hand is just there, the food is halfway gone, and somehow you're eating it and judging yourself for it at the same time. You paid full price for half the experience.What if the reason you can't stop isn't about willpower at all? What if the problem is that you're not actually tasting what you're eating? In this episode, we're talking about two kinds of hunger that look exactly the same from

I Don't Trust Myself Around Food

2026/05/06

Maybe you hit your goal weight. Maybe you're still working toward it. Either way, you're still thinking about food more than you want to. Still feeling guilty when you eat the wrong thing. Still waiting to feel normal around food. Still wondering if you're one bad week away from blowing it all.That feeling has a name. And it has nothing to do with willpower. In this episode, I share a real conversation with a client who reached her goal weight and still felt like a fraud. Still felt like she hadn't

If you've ever felt like every diet you've tried was the wrong tool for the job, this episode is for you. You knew deep down it was probably going to let you down again. But you tried it anyway. Because what else were you going to do? This week's episode is unapologetically nerdy. It's May the 4th, which means it's Star Wars Day. And here's the wild part.

Where Are You Holding Yourself Back?

Last week I told you my story. This week I want to talk about yours.Because whether you have been losing weight and feel strangely anxious about it, or you have been stuck and doing things in secret you would never do in the daylight, I think the same belief is running in the background. And once you see it, so much of the struggle starts to make a different kind of sense. This episode is for two women. The one hanging on by her fingernails as the weight comes off. And the one in the CVS parking

I either beat myself up or let myself off the hook

Do you either beat yourself up… or let yourself off the hook when it comes to weight loss?You step on the scale and the number is higher than you hoped. Right away your brain starts replaying the week. “You shouldn’t have had bread at the restaurant.” “You knew better.” “What is wrong with you?” Or the voice goes the other way. “It’s fine.” “It doesn’t count.” “It was a stressful day.” Many women feel stuck between these two voices. One voice beats you up. The other voice lets everything

I’m So Tired of Thinking About Food

2026/03/25

Have you ever thought:“I’m so tired of thinking about food all the time.” Not just eating it. Thinking about it. Planning it. Tracking it. Trying to decide what you should eat. For many women trying to lose weight, food can start to feel like a full-time job. Every meal feels like a decision. Every snack feels like a test. When that happens, it’s easy to think something is wrong with you. But that’s usually not the problem. In this episode of The Confident Body Podcast, we talk about why dieting

Have you ever lost a few pounds…and then gained them right back when life got stressful?Maybe you got sick. Work got busy. Your family needed more from you. And before you knew it, the weight you just lost was back again. Then the thoughts start. “I just can’t stay consistent.” “Something must be wrong with me.” “Why does this keep happening?” Many women think they regain weight because they lack discipline. But that is usually not the real problem. Stress changes how your brain and body

Have you ever tried to lose weight and thought, “If I really wanted this, I’d be doing better by now”?This episode is for the woman who knows what to do, has tried everything, and still feels stuck. Not because she’s lazy. Not because she lacks willpower. But because her nervous system doesn’t feel safe letting go of food yet.
