The weight came back AGAIN. Now what?
Episode 94
Monday, 19 January, 2026
If you’ve lost weight before, but it came back... this episode is for you.Let's break down why weight loss often becomes the common denominator behind dieting burnout, binge–restrict cycles, and feeling out of control around food. Not because weight loss is bad, but because making it the main focus quietly changes how your brain and body respond to food.I'll talk through how obsessing over the outcome (the scale) clouds judgment, increases pressure, and actually makes consistency harder. You’ll learn why the scale is delayed, ambiguous feedback, and why using it as a daily pass/fail test often backfires and has the opposite effect you're wanting.This episode walks you through what changes when weight loss stops being the driver, how food decisions get quieter, and why rebuilding trust and safety with food leads to more ease, self-control, and long-term change (with or without weight loss).If you hate that you say, "It worked, I got the weight off... but then it came back", then this episode offers a mindset shift that could change everything.RESOURCES MENTIONED:Nourished & Free® Group Coaching Program - learn more/apply hereJUMP TO:00:00 Why weight loss keeps turning into a losing–regaining cycle 01:39 How the scale quietly starts running your life 04:01 The pressure that makes food feel loud and exhausting 06:24 The credit score analogy that explains why this feels so hard 09:25 Why the scale is terrible daily feedback (and messes with your head) 10:40 When weight starts feeling like a measure of your worth 13:38 What changes when weight loss isn’t the main focus anymore 15:37 “But i still want to lose weight…” let’s talk about that 17:05 The foundation that actually quiets food noise 19:16 What it feels like when food stops being the main character 20:54 The question that changes how you move forwardShare your thoughts anonymouslySupport the showLEARN MORE🔥 My Signature 4-Month Program, Nourished & Free®📲 Follow me on Instagram (you'll get to know me pretty quickly!)📖 Check out my Blog for tons of helpful articles SHOW SOME LOVE⭐️ Loved this episode?
