Thank you so much to everyone who has supported my podcast. As I transition my coaching practice to general life coaching, I have decided to end this podcast. Creating a podcast was something I wanted to do for a long time, and sharing this podcast with you has been one of the highlights of the last 2 years for me. As a general life coach, I am trained to coach on anything. So if you do want help with intuitive eating and/or improving your relationship with food, I can help you.If you want to coach on something else, I can help you as well. Thanks again for going on this journey with me. I really appreciate it. IMPORTANT UPDATE: I have changed my coaching niche from binge eating to general life coaching. This change allows me to continue coaching on binge eating while also coaching my clients on anything else they want help with.

Have you ever been about to start a new eating plan, but before it officially starts, you have one last meal where you eat everything you won't be able to eat starting tomorrow? If so, you've likely engaged in "last supper" thinking. Last supper thinking happens when you decide to deny yourself food you love because you think it's bad or unhealthy. The problem is, when you plan to deny yourself, you end up eating as much of that food as you possibly can.  It's your way of saying goodbye to that food. It may make sense in the moment, but this strategy is ineffective in the long run. It promotes overeating, binging, guilt, and restriction. The good news is that it doesn't have to be this way. In this episode, I talk about the last supper mentality, where it comes from, why it's harmful, and how to get rid of it forever.IMPORTANT UPDATE: I have changed my coaching niche from binge eating to general life coaching.

Have you ever felt like you can't stop eating your favorite food? Do you worry that if you give yourself unlimited permission to eat what you want, you won't be able to stop eating? If so, this episode is for you. In this episode, I discuss the concept of habituation. Food habituation happens when your over-desire for food decreases because the food is no longer as exciting or interesting as it used to be. It doesn't mean you don't like the food anymore. It just means that you no longer feel obsessed with eating it. If there's a food you're struggling with, this episode will teach you how to use habituation to stop overdesiring it. IMPORTANT UPDATE: I have changed my coaching niche from binge eating to general life coaching.
