Rise From Within, with Terri Pugh

147. 3 reasons why it's so hard to stop dieting


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered why it’s so hard to let go of old habits, even when you know they aren’t really helping you? You might recognise that dieting makes you miserable, but you keep going back. Or maybe you’re fully aware that constantly body-checking in the mirror isn’t doing you any favours, yet you just can’t seem to stop.

You’re not the only one - I was there with you at one point. I knew that the dieting, the binge eating, and the criticism in the mirror was not good for me, but I did it over and over again. 

We don’t hold onto behaviours for no reason though. There’s always something deeper at play. Quite often those old habits around food and body image are actually trying to protect us - even if they’re also keeping us stuck, and even if it doesn’t feel like it.

So in this episode of The Intuitive Eating & Body Positivity Podcast I’m looking at 3 of the biggest reasons why it’s so hard to stop dieting, what keeps you holding on to old behaviours, and asking you how do they really serve you?

Also, I’ll tell you how I’m quite amazed at the new drink I discovered this week - it blew my mind when I found it 🤯
