If you've ever said that right before going back for seconds, this episode is for you.
You wear a seatbelt every time you drive. You go to bed instead of watching one more episode. Neither of those feels like deprivation. So why does stopping when you still have food on your plate feel so wrong?
Coach Steph and I dig into why "deprivation" has become one of the sneakiest excuses for overeating, and how to stop letting it make your decisions for you. You'll leave with one phrase you can use at dinner tonight to stop eating past full without feeling robbed.
In it, you'll hear:
Why most of what you call deprivation is actually just delayed gratification
How the seatbelt analogy turns food boundaries into an act of self-care
The question Steph asks clients when saying "no" to food feels like a threat: "How old do you feel right now?"
What a toddler obsessed with shiny red cars can teach you about cravings
The simple swap our clients use instead of telling themselves "no"
