55 | Why You Keep Breaking Promises to Yourself Around Food And Why It Isn't What You Think

Do you start the week determined to eat well, only to find yourself negotiating with cravings by Tuesday afternoon?

Are you keeping promises to everyone else while quietly losing trust in your ability to keep the promises you make to yourself?

And could your appetite be communicating a genuine physical, emotional or spiritual need rather than proving that you lack discipline?

In this episode, I’m sharing why you keep breaking promises to yourself around food—and why the real problem is probably not a lack of knowledge, willpower or self-control. I explain how repeated cycles of restriction, negotiation and overeating can slowly erode your self-trust, why your appetite and cravings are forms of communication rather than enemies to fight, and how answering every hunger signal with the same food keeps you trapped in frustration.

You’ll also hear about my own experience of rigidly refusing to eat after 5 p.m. while running long distances and working evening shifts, only to eventually find myself ravenously eating everything available. I explain why that pattern was not evidence that I was undisciplined or ungodly, but that I had created unrealistic rules and ignored genuine hunger for too long. This episode will help you begin distinguishing between the different needs of your body, mind and soul so you can respond appropriately, rebuild trust in yourself and pursue weight loss from a place of nourishment rather than constant battle.
