The Discipline Myth: Why You Don’t Need More Willpower to Stop Overeating


Listen Later

If you’ve ever thought, I just need more discipline when it comes to food, trust me, I’ve been there. I used to believe that if I could just be stronger—if I could just say no to the cravings, white-knuckle my way through temptation—I’d finally stop binge eating. But guess what? That thinking kept me stuck for years.

Today, we’re busting the biggest myth keeping you trapped in your binge/restrict cycle: the idea that you need more willpower

In this episode, we break down why discipline isn’t the answer and why true food freedom comes from building self-trust—not deprivation.

We are going to dive into
👉🏻 why “just don’t buy it” is the worst advice for food control
👉🏻 how trying to be more disciplined actually fuels binge eating
👉🏻 the key mindset shift that helped me break free from restriction and guilt
👉🏻 and how to build trust with yourself so you can enjoy food without losing control

If you’re tired of feeling like you have to battle your own mind to eat “right,” let's dive in together 🎧
