Client stories this week: control, perfectionism and things keeping you stuck

Saison 2 · Épisode 6

vendredi 30 octobre 2026 • Durée 24:41

Are you actually recovering from binge eating and emotional eating, or have you just found new ways to control food?

You might have stopped dieting, but are you still monitoring your portions, counting your steps, avoiding certain foods or trying to make sure every meal is as healthy as possible?

In this episode, we're exploring how seemingly positive habits can sometimes become new ways of maintaining control, and why this can keep you stuck in the same cycle of food guilt, restriction and binge eating.

We'll look at the fear behind letting go of food rules, why trusting yourself around food can feel so uncomfortable, and three practical ways to start loosening the control that might be holding you back.

When You’re Doing Everything “Right” But You’re Still Stuck

Saison 2 · Épisode 5

lundi 19 octobre 2026 • Durée 33:02

You’re eating regularly. You’re trying to eat balanced meals. You’re learning about emotional eating. You’re working on your relationship with food.

And yet… you’re still stuck.

You’re still thinking about food all the time. You’re still bingeing occasionally. You’re still feeling anxious when you eat certain foods. You’re still feeling like you need to compensate when you’ve eaten ‘too much’.

So what’s going on?

Sometimes the problem isn’t that you’re not doing enough.

It’s that some of the things you’re doing right are still helping you feel safe and in control

We break down how diet rules often get swapped to “recovery rules” and how to get curious about what these rules are providing, and how to shift away from these to a more intuitive approach to eating. We discuss how rules can create safety and a sense of certainty that will feel familiar in recovery, and how to progress out of the “messy middle”.

Is Monitoring Your Weight Really Keeping You in Control?

Saison 2 · Épisode 4

lundi 12 octobre 2026 • Durée 43:07

“If I know what I weigh, I can keep things under control.”

Maybe you weigh yourself every morning.

Maybe you check your weight after a holiday, weekend, meal out or period of eating more.

Maybe you tell yourself you’re not obsessed with the number — you just like to “keep an eye on it.”

But what if the thing you believe is keeping you in control is actually making it much harder to heal your relationship with food?

Because if your food choices, exercise, mood and sense of whether you’ve “done well” are constantly being influenced by a number on the scales, do you really have food and body freedom?

This episode discusses the false sense of control weighing brings, the use of it as feedback, how it can offer temporary reassurance, how it keeps the “diet voice” alive and addresses the fear of letting this sense of control go and what is underlying it. We also go through practical steps to help change this pattern.

What if You Never Started Another Diet?

Saison 2 · Épisode 4

lundi 5 octobre 2026 • Durée 27:21

What if you never started another diet? In this episode, we explore the fear underneath giving up dieting, what you might actually gain from stepping away from the diet cycle, and why stopping dieting isn't giving up — it's choosing to build a different relationship with food, your body and yourself.

Why “I'll Just Have One” Doesn’t Work

Saison 2 · Épisode 2

lundi 28 septembre 2026 • Durée 21:58

Why does telling yourself “I’ll just have one” sometimes make you want even more?

In this episode, we’re exploring the difference between choice and restriction, and why rules around food can create more urgency and food obsession. We’ll look at the “fuck it” effect, all-or-nothing thinking, and how giving yourself genuine permission can help you make choices around food without fear or guilt.

Because food freedom isn’t about always eating more — it’s about being able to choose what you want without a rule making the decision for you.

What’s Really Behind Your Night-Time Eating?

Saison 2 · Épisode 2

lundi 21 septembre 2026 • Durée 35:10

Do you feel like you can manage your eating all day… and then the evening comes and suddenly you can’t stop thinking about food?

You might tell yourself you have no willpower, that you’re an emotional eater, or that you just need to learn how to control yourself around food.

But what if there’s something else going on?

In this episode, we’re looking at what’s reallybehind night-time eating — from not eating enough during the day and psychological restriction, to the “I’ve been good all day” mentality, perfectionism, emotional exhaustion and finally having some time for yourself.

We’ll explore why the urge to eat can feel so much stronger in the evening, why trying harder to control it can actually make things worse, and how the “fuck it” or permission-slip mentality can keep you stuck in a cycle of restriction, overeating and guilt.

I’ll also give you some practical questions to ask yourself when you find yourself standing in the kitchen at 9pm wondering, “Why am I doing this again?”

Because night-time eating isn’t necessarily something you need to “fix”.

It’s information.

And sometimes, the answer to what’s happening at 9pm starts with looking at what happened at 9am, 12pm, 3pm and 6pm— and everything in between.

The “Fuck it” button: Why You Binge When You Feel You’ve Blown It

Saison 2 · Épisode 1

lundi 14 septembre 2026 • Durée 25:20

Have you ever eaten something you’d planned not to eat and suddenly thought, “Fuck it — I’ve already blown it, so I may as well carry on”?

That moment can feel like the switch has been flipped. One biscuit becomes the whole packet. One unplanned meal becomes a full day of eating. And afterwards, guilt and the urge to “make up for it” often lead straight back into restriction.

In this episode, I explore the “F it” button and why it isn’t simply about a lack of willpower or self-control. We look at how restriction, food rules, perfectionism, all-or-nothing thinking and the diet voice create the perfect conditions for bingeing.

You’ll learn:

Why the “F it” thought often appears after breaking a food rule.
How restriction can create urgency, scarcity and a need to eat everything now.
Why the permission slip to binge is often the other side of the restriction coin.
How perfectionism keeps you stuck in the “on track” or “off track” cycle.
What to say to yourself when the “F it” button gets pressed.
How to move away from compensation, guilt and starting again tomorrow.
Why true food freedom comes from being able to eat imperfectly without turning it into a crisis.

If you’re tired of feeling like one food choice has ruined everything, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on — and how to begin responding differently.

“They’ve lost weight, they look amazing…”

Saison 1 · Épisode 38

lundi 7 septembre 2026 • Durée 30:03

Have you ever seen someone who has lost weight and immediately thought, “they’ve lost weight they look amazing… maybe I should lose weight too?”

You might not even realise it, but that thought can be your diet voice sneaking back in.

In this episode, we’re talking about why someone else’s weight loss can trigger body dissatisfaction, comparison and the urge to start dieting again — even when you’ve worked really hard to move away from dieting and binge eating.

We’ll explore why we’ve been conditioned to believe that smaller automatically means better, why weight loss is so often interpreted as success, and how one seemingly innocent thought can quickly turn into restriction, food obsession, cravings, overeating and bingeing.

But this isn’t about pretending you can’t notice that someone has lost weight or that you have to convince yourself they don’t look different. Instead, it’s about becoming curious about what that thought means for you and what it makes you want to do next.

We’ll look at:

How to recognise when your diet voice has been activated
Why comparison can pull you back into the diet-binge cycle
The hidden assumptions behind “they look amazing”
Why you don’t actually know what someone else’s weight loss means for their health, happiness or relationship with food
How to challenge the belief that their body changing means yours needs to
What to do when you suddenly feel the urge to diet, restrict, exercise or lose weight
How to have a diet thought without automatically acting on it
Why true food freedom isn’t about never having these thoughts — it’s about not letting them dictate your behaviour

The goal isn’t to replace every uncomfortable thought with “I love my body.” It’s to get better at recognising the diet voice, questioning what it’s telling you and choosing whether you actually want to listen.

Because someone else’s body changing doesn’t mean yours needs to.

September Reset

Saison 1 · Épisode 37

mercredi 2 septembre 2026 • Durée 31:01

The September Reset: Why Autumn Can Trigger Binge Eating & Body Image Struggles

September can feel like a fresh start.

The summer is coming to an end, routines are changing, and suddenly there can be a familiar pressure to “get back on track” — eat better, lose weight, exercise more and finally get your body under control.

But what if September didn't have to be another opportunity to start a diet?

In this episode, we explore why the change of seasons can trigger binge eating, emotional eating and body image struggles — and how the desire for a “fresh start” can actually pull you straight back into the restriction-binge cycle.

Most importantly, we'll consider what a different kind of September reset could look like — one that isn't about changing your body, but about changing your relationship with food, your body and yourself.

In this episode, you'll discover:

Why September can trigger the urge to diet and “start again”
How the fresh-start mentality can keep the binge/restrict cycle going
Why you don't need to wait until you feel better about your body to start living your life
Practical ways to approach the new season without falling back into dieting
How to create a September reset focused on food freedom rather than weight loss

A different kind of September reset

Instead of asking:

“How can I lose weight this autumn?”

Try asking:

“How do I want my relationship with food and my body to feel this autumn?”

You don't need a new diet.

You don't need to “make up” for what you ate over the summer.

And you don't need to change your body before you're allowed to enjoy your life.

Going Beyond the Food with Stephanie Dodier: Body Image Expert

Saison 1 · Épisode 37

samedi 22 août 2026 • Durée 43:22

In this episode, I'm joined by Stephanie Dodier, Clinical Non-Diet Nutritionist, Certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor and Cognitive Behaviour Coach, and host of The Beyond the Food Show. Stephanie spent 25 years caught in diet culture before transforming her own relationship with food and her body. Her experiences ultimately led her to create the Going Beyond The Food Method, a weight-neutral approach combining mindset, intuitive eating and body neutrality.

We have a really honest conversation about what happens when you've spent years believing that being thinner will make you happier, more confident, healthier or more worthy—and what it takes to start questioning those beliefs.

Together, we explore:

How to work through the fear of weight gain when part of you still desperately wants to be thinner
How to start building confidence that isn't dependent on your weight or appearance
The first practical steps towards feeling safer and more comfortable in your body
Untangling health from weight

Stephanie's approach focuses on trusting the body, developing body respect and moving towards body neutrality rather than requiring people to love their bodies.

If you've spent years dieting, struggling with emotional or binge eating, feeling uncomfortable in your body or believing that “I'll finally be confident when I lose weight,” this conversation is for you.
