Is your house full of leftover Halloween candy, and your brain won’t stop thinking about it? In this episode, I explain why your brain is wired to overvalue immediate rewards, how fear of fat gain turns normal cravings into obsession, and why we treat our future selves like strangers. Then I teach you Run the Tape, the future-self visualization tool I use with my clients, and share how I used it myself to get out of bed for a workout. Plus: a sneak peek at my new holiday group program, launching to newsletter subscribers on Wednesday, November 4th.

I just got back from a restful 20th anniversary trip to Baja California with my husband, Steve. In this episode I walk you through exactly how I used the same tools I teach my clients, and I’m being honest about where I failed.

You’ll hear:

• Why I chose not to diet before the trip, even at the higher end of my happy weight
• How I used body image flexibility and defusion when I didn't like how my body looked in the full-length mirror in our hotel room
• How I used the pleasure scale and “the wanting matching the liking” to plan one special anniversary dinner and eat balanced the rest of the time (hello, fresh grilled fish tacos and ceviche)
• The “future self” exercise that gave me permission to nap every day without guilt
• And my biggest failure on the trip...

This episode is for you if you want to enjoy vacation, eat with flexibility and still treat your body like it matters, without the all-or-nothing swing. Failing well is a skill, and it can be learned.

Mentioned in this episode: Episode 26, “Liking Your Body on Vacation, Part One.”

While I’m away on vacation (and enjoying a head cold without a voice), please enjoy this replay of one of my most popular episodes, all about your inner critic.

You know the voice. It pipes up after a “bad” meal, when you catch your reflection, or when you’re getting dressed, and it sounds a lot like the truth. In this episode, I explain where that harsh inner voice comes from, why it’s actually trying to protect you, and why criticizing yourself into change almost never works. Drawing on compassion-focused approaches to behavior change, I share how to recognize your critic when it shows up, separate its voice from your own, and start responding with a kinder, steadier inner coach. This isn’t about lowering your standards. It’s about creating the conditions where real, lasting change becomes possible.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re your own worst enemy with food or your body, this one’s for you.
