The Fit Without Obsession Podcast

How I Stopped Using Exercise to Punish Myself


Listen Later

For years, I told myself I just loved working out. I was “disciplined,” “committed,” “the fit one.” But deep down, it wasn’t love—it was fear. Fear of gaining weight, fear of losing control, fear of not being enough.

In this episode, I’m sharing how my relationship with movement went from obsessive and punishing to freeing and empowering. We’ll talk about the sneaky red flags that keep you stuck in guilt and burnout, and the exact mindset shifts that helped me start moving from love instead of fear.

If you’ve ever felt anxious on rest days, used workouts to “make up” for food, or tied your worth to how hard you train… this episode will hit home. It’s time to stop using exercise against yourself—and start using it to come home to your body again.
