🎙️ Episode 91 — How to Continue to Lose Weight Through the Holidays (and Still Enjoy Yourself)

If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s really possible to lose weight through the holidays and still enjoy yourself—this episode is for you.

You’ll learn how to move through the season without falling into guilt, restriction, or the “start over in January” mindset. Instead, you’ll discover a realistic, grace-filled way to enjoy the foods you love while continuing to make progress toward your goals.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:
 ✨ Why eating less feels so hard at first—and how to reframe that discomfort so you stop seeing it as failure and start seeing it as progress.
✨ The 70–75% full practice that helps you retrain your brain, feel lighter after meals, and finally trust your hunger and fullness cues again.
✨ How to make holiday meals more satisfying by slowing down, savoring every bite, and letting yourself have dessert—without the guilt.
✨ Use the “How to Eat Less and Feel Satisfied” worksheet inside the new Follow-Through Planner to track your patterns and make mindful eating second nature.

By the end of this episode, you’ll know how to enjoy the holidays on your terms—no diet rules, no food drama—just calm, confident follow-through.

💡 You’ll walk away knowing how to:

• Eat less and feel satisfied (without feeling deprived)
• Stay consistent through travel, parties, and celebrations
• Turn mindful eating into a daily habit that feels natural
• Build trust with your body, one meal at a time

🎯 This week’s Follow-Through Challenge:
