Self-fulfilling prophecies: How Our History With Diets Can Influence our Expectations

Welcome to "Change Your Relationship with Food," hosted by Kyla Holley. With her extensive experience, Kyla provides invaluable guidance to help you break free from the constraints of dieting and form a healthier, more positive relationship with food.

In this episode, Kyla shares insights inspired by a recent therapy session with a client who just six months post-bariatric surgery. Despite being ahead of her weight-loss goals, the client expressed feelings of demotivation and failure due to her chocolate consumption over the holidays. Kyla explores the concept of self-fulfilling prophecies and how our history with diets can cloud our judgment and expectations, leading to unnecessary guilt and setbacks.

Through this engaging conversation, Kyla encourages listeners to reassess their evidence of progress, differentiate facts from emotions, and celebrate achievements, no matter how small. She underscores the importance of eradicating the diet mentality, fostering self-belief, and approaching lifestyle changes with kindness and compassion.

Join Kyla in discovering how to identify and overcome psychological barriers, stay motivated, and maintain a positive trajectory towards lasting change. Don't forget to explore additional resources and tools mentioned in the episode notes that support your journey to transforming your relationship with food.
