Episode 8: Why Being Good at Diets Hasn’t Helped You
If you’ve ever crushed a diet, lost the weight, followed the plan, got the compliments, but still ended up feeling like you failed yourself... this episode is for you.
In today’s Sick of Pricks real talk session, we’re digging into why being “good at diets” hasn’t translated into long-term health, sustainable habits, or peaceful blood sugar, and how that mindset might be quietly sabotaging your progress with type 2 diabetes.
You’ll hear:
- Why diet success doesn’t equal diabetes management success
- How diet culture taught you to shrink, not sustain
- Why perfectionism and shame keep you stuck
- How to shift toward consistency, stability, and real self-trust
- The difference between eating for weight loss vs. eating to feel better
This is not about blaming your past self. It’s about freeing your future self.
