What if tracking calories to try and manage your weight was actually keeping you stuck? And letting it go didn’t cause chaos, but brought peace, stable weight, better health markers, and a completely different relationship with your body? Today, my Heart Led Eating student, Laura, shares her powerful journey from restriction, pregnancy weight gain, yo-yo cycles, every diet phase (low-fat, low-sugar, high-protein, high-fiber), constant food noise, and fear of losing control...to discovering the root cause and finally trusting her body’s built-in calorie calculator.
We discuss...
How scoliosis, societal praise for smallness, and being short wired a deep drive to always be as small as possible
Decades of calorie tracking, packaged foods for “accuracy,” low-fat/no-sugar eras, exercise as pure calorie burn, and the mental exhaustion of constant management
Being scared to stop tracking calories and “lose control”
The root cause of grazing on food all day long
Releasing the obsession with being the smallest
Tangible health wins: normalized cholesterol (first time in 11 years), improving DEXA/bone density scan, better energy (no more afternoon crashes), and stable weight without tracking
Why this isn’t “eat whatever and accept excess weight”
