EP #28: Rebuilding Self-Trust After Dieting: The First Step to Food Freedom
In this episode of She Breaks the Rules, we're getting real about the quiet struggle so many women face: the loss of self-trust after years of dieting. If you’ve ever said “I can’t be trusted around food” or felt overwhelmed by all the conflicting health advice out there, this one's for you.
We explore how diet culture disconnects us from our bodies, and how that lack of self-trust leads to anxiety, confusion, and constantly outsourcing our health decisions. We also share how we've rebuilt that self-trust in our own lives and how we guide clients through that same journey.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- The definition of self-trust and how to build it again
- Why diet culture erodes your connection with your body
- How to recognise hunger and fullness cues (beyond the rumbling tummy!)
- How food rules and “good vs bad” labels keep you stuck
- Why "messy consistency" is the real key to confidence
- 3 practical ways to start rebuilding self-trust today
Your Takeaway Task:
Choose one small promise you can keep to yourself this week. Start tiny. Make it so doable that you can’t fail. Keep showing up, and then build from there.
Reflect on this:
Where in your health journey have you been outsourcing your decisions?
What’s one area where you can start trusting yourself again?
