Let's Unpack That
Welcome to "Let's Unpack That", my podcast and favourite phrase to use in my dietitian/counselling clinic.
We all carry around a mental suitcase full of food and body thoughts, beliefs and rules, usually negative, rigid or restrictive, that hold us back from living our best (and healthiest) lives.
Each fortnight, I'll dig into this suitcase and unpack a common food or body thought, belief or rule and discuss it so you can decide if you want to continue lugging it around for another decade or if you're ready to clear some space for more helpful food and body beliefs.

Let's Unpack That
"I'm already going to fail so what's the point of starting"
In episode 2 of "Let's Unpack That," I delve into the pervasive thought, "I'm already going to fail, so what's the point in starting?" I explore the origins of this mindset, highlighting how repeated dieting failures can erode self-confidence and instil a fear of failure. I emphasize the importance of redefining progress and success, suggesting that setting unrealistic goals often sets us up for perceived failure. I share a poignant client story about overcoming the fear of exercise by starting small and celebrating achievable goals, which led to a sustainable, enjoyable movement. I underscore the value of curiosity and compassion in goal-setting, advocating for flexibility and realistic expectations to counter the rigid, all-or-nothing mentality promoted by diet culture. I encourage listeners to reframe their approach to health, focusing on small, manageable steps and redefining success beyond the scale.
