What we don't eat
Mindset Mastery with Deirdre Maguire
TEACHING – WHAT’S REALLY GOING ON
The simple truth.
Food stops being fuel when it starts doing a job.
Food becomes relief.
Evening alone → food becomes company
Stress, boredom, distraction/reward →
food steps in.
So it’s not about hunger anymore —
it’s about how we feel.”
PRACTICAL EXAMPLES
You’ve had dinner. You’re not hungry. You open the fridge anyway.
Or you say, ‘I’ll just have one’… and suddenly the packet’s empty.
That’s not greed.
That’s a habit the brain has learned because it worked. It solves a problem
That’s why will power doesn’t win this battle.
You’re not weak. You’re not broken.
You’re just running an old programme — and programmes can be changed.
THE MMM 3-STEP SOLUTION
STEP 1 — Notice the Moment
Like Frank did. Noticing(non-judgement) beats guilt every time.
Instead of: ‘What’s wrong with me?’
Ask: ‘What’s going on for me right now?’
STEP 2 — Small shifts break the pattern – do something different
· A short walk- Get outside
· A conversation instead of a cupboard raid. Talk to someone
STEP 3 — Think Identity, Not Diet
Instead of asking: ‘Will this help me lose weight?’
Ask: ‘Is this what the version of me I’m becoming would do?’
Not perfection. Consistency.
Not the goal. The person you’re growing into.
“And when this clicks, life feels different.
You drive past the shop and don’t even think about it. You open the fridge… and close it. Not because you’re being ‘good’ —
but because food isn’t running the show anymore. You are. That’s freedom.”
COMMUNITY & SUPPORT Accountability Freedom Community
“And this is where support matters.
When people feel backed up instead of judged, habits soften.
That’s why connection works. That’s why accountability works. That’s why community works.
No pressure — just progress.”
