#202: Why You Do Awesome On Diets (And Then It All Falls Apart)

Do you feel like dieting is where you shine? Where you can follow the plan, feel in control, and you feel like you’re doing something positive for yourself?...But when you’re not dieting everything falls to pieces and suddenly you’re stuffing your face with cookies and feeling like crap?

Dieting offers a sense of structure, security, and the hope that if you just “stick with it” and “do it right” that you’ll have the body (and life) of your dreams.

My guest today is a client of mine who grew up in a home shaped by diet culture where her mother was always dieting, "bad" foods were hidden, and she was shamed for eating, and shamed for not eating (hello, Clean Your Plate Club). Meanwhile, there were shaming comments made about her body that set her up for a lifelong struggle with body image and yo-yo dieting.

Diana McNeill is a recently retired fitness instructor who had a wakeup call when her husband was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, and she realized that she couldn’t keep wasting her precious time, energy and attention on dieting anymore.

That’s when she discovered intuitive eating, and has been on a journey towards making peace with food, healing her body image and navigating life without dieting any longer.

Listen to Diana share her story of healing, the specific steps she’s taken to “do the work” of intuitive eating, and how you can follow in her footsteps to make peace with food too.

Episode Highlights

“Life is too precious to spend at war with your body. Stop treating your body so poorly and remember your freedom begins when you stop letting your appearance define your worth.” – Diana McNeill
