315. Five Shifts to Finally Stay Consistent With Food
You've followed the plans. Upped the discipline. Doubled down on getting back on track. And still, food and taking care of yourself feel harder than they used to.
You're not the problem. The problem is trying to apply the same strategies you relied on in your twenties and thirties to a body and life that have fundamentally changed.
In this episode of Insatiable, I share the five shifts that finally make consistency possible when perfectionism stops working. You'll learn why your resistance to showing up imperfectly is protective, not personal, and how to stay in the game even when it feels like you're barely moving forward.
3:28 - Why old strategies no longer working for you isn’t a sign of your failure
11:06 - Why C-plus effort triggers disgust and why that disgust has nothing to do with laziness
19:52 - How certainty becomes a shield against vulnerability and keeps you repeating the same all-or-nothing loop
24:51 - Why “momentum” sounds like a soft metric but becomes the only measure that compounds into lasting change
28:52 - The protective resistance that shows up the moment you try to break the cycle and why planning for it is non-negotiable
34:25 – Quick recap of the five shifts that redefine what success actually looks like in midlife with food struggles
