In this episode of the Too Much on Her Plate podcast, I’m sharing the journey of “Marie” (not her real name), a smart, successful professional woman who struggled with overeating, stress eating, and feeling like food was controlling her (sound familiar?).

Marie’s story is a perfect example of how deeply ingrained deprivation thinking and diet culture can keep us stuck in a frustrating cycle of overeating, self-blame, and defeat. Like so many women, Marie believed that success with food required willpower, motivation, and discipline—but none of it was working.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why Marie’s overeating wasn’t about food at all—and why yours might not be either.
• The role stress plays in driving overeating and why ignoring this connection keeps you stuck.
• The first essential question to ask yourself to start creating freedom from overeating.
• How Marie shifted from relying on food for stress relief and reward to addressing her Hidden Hungers.
• Why ditching the all-or-nothing mindset and taking small, consistent steps can create dramatic results.

• The importance of clarifying what you want to be helped WITH

There’s so much messaging out there about weight loss and overeating. It’s so constant, and our exposure to it starts so early, that it’s easy to forget that the themes and refrains aren’t necessarily truths or helpful and that the messaging doesn’t address the complete overeating puzzle. Marketing from the weight loss industry promotes quick fixes, with the idea that if you do things right - if you get right - those fixes will be permanent. And yet, we wouldn’t be here if this was the case.

In this episode:

• Why that “straightforward advice” doesn’t help you stop overeating
• The reasons you overeat
• Solving overeating vs. short term solutions

This podcast episode is about a set of beliefs that might be floating around in your head and not only making it harder to change your eating - it’s likely contributing to overeating and emotional eating. We live in a culture that teaches you to blame yourself for your relationship with food - while at the same time encouraging you to use food as a solution to all your Hidden Hungers. This can lead to a sense of isolation, and even shame and guilt that keep smart, amazing women going in circles - for years. There’s a solution - one that I’m covering in this week’s episode.

In this episode:

• Why you might blame yourself and how it contributes to vicious cycles
• Getting acclimatized to shame and isolation
• How it can be easier
