Episode Summary:

In today’s episode of The Mindset Diet, I break down the three psychological patterns that cause most women to spiral during the holidays — and the mindset shifts that help you stay consistent, calm, and in control.

If you're tired of feeling out of control every November and December… if you’re sick of starting the new year feeling inflamed, bloated, and discouraged… this episode will teach you how to break the annual cycle of “holiday weight gain → January reset.”

These tools work even if your routine is chaotic, even if you're stressed, and even if you usually throw in the towel this time of year.

If you’ve ever stepped on the scale, seen the number go up, and instantly felt like you failed... this episode is for you.

In today’s episode of The Mindset Diet, I’m breaking down one of the most common mistakes women make on their weight loss journey: making decisions based on emotion instead of data.

We’ll talk about why your brain reacts this way (and how it’s wired for short-term survival, not long-term success), how to stop the cycle of restricting and binging, and how to start thinking like a scientist when it comes to your body.

You’ll walk away knowing exactly how to detach emotionally from the scale, analyze your progress logically, and finally end the self-sabotage that’s been keeping you stuck.
