Weight-loss culture endlessly reinforces the belief that any failed plan to end overeating is on us. It’s our fault, and the solution is - to work harder. Be more determined. Get it more perfect and then you’ll see results.

Which (by the way) is a big, unhelpful myth that makes things worse. 

Today let’s talk about a more effective way to think about the “failures” you’ve experienced while trying to stop overeating or lose weight. 

In this episode::

• Why working harder creates vicious cycles of overeating
• A 4-step process for breaking out of cycles that lead to overwhelm, overeating, guilt and self-blame
• Forgiveness
