“What you say in your mind, You see in the mirror.”

Hey there, friend.

I see you. You’ve given every diet a try and followed all the rules with meticulous care.

You’ve cut out carbs, given up sugar, locked up your pantry after dinner, skipped breakfast, downed celery juice, and stuck to your meal plans.

But then, it happens. You have a cookie, and suddenly, it feels like the whole plan is unraveling. You shift from strict adherence to thinking, “I’ve already messed up… might as well keep going and try again tomorrow.”

So you eat. And eat. And eat.

Here’s the truth: This is a common cycle.

Maybe you stick to a perfect routine during the week, only to falter every weekend and promise to be perfect again on Monday. Or worse, you wake up each morning determined to make up for the previous night’s binge-watching and snacking, only to fall back into the same habits.

Every time you tell yourself you’ll “get back on track” or “pull it together,” you end up consuming even more.

The more this cycle continues, the worse your eating habits become.

If you’re like many who have come to me for support, you might be feeling:Drained, frustrated, and overwhelmed by your constant focus on food.

I understand. It’s all too easy to beat yourself up after each meal and question how you got here, wondering if you’ll ever break free from the cycle of food obsession. Many have felt the same way before finding a way to move forward.

Because the harder you try to control your eating, the more it seems to spiral out of control.
