The holidays can bring joy, but they also bring stressâespecially for dieters who struggle with balancing self-care and social obligations.
In this episode, I dive into how holiday pressures and people-pleasing tendencies can lead to emotional burnout, causing dieters to use food as a way to self-soothe, cope, and numb feeling overwhelmed.
Whether it's the stress of family gatherings, financial expectations, or just feeling "off-track," emotional eating can quickly derail your progress and leave you feeling defeated.
Join me for actionable tips and practical strategies that will empower you to stay consistent even during the busiest time of the year.
I'll show you how to break free from the cycle of emotional eating, build a healthy relationship with food, and set yourself up for lasting success â without sacrificing your peace of mindn during the holidays.

Break the cycle of holiday weight gain by taking control of EXACTLY what and how much you eat using the 7 simple steps outlined in The Ultimate Toolkit to Stop Holiday Overeating. No foods off limits. No counting calories. No drama.
In today's episode, I explored a post on Reddit from a woman who asked herself the question, "If I won the lottery, what would I do with the money?" and how this single question encouraged her to take MASSIVE ACTION during the holiday season.
When most people are throwing their hands up in the air until January 1st, now is the perfect time to prioritize your eating habits. With so many opportunities to practice, it's like learning at warped speed.
And to be clear, practicing your eating habits doesn't have to involve cutting out foods, skipping cocktails, or avoiding our favorite holiday treats. You CAN have it all, and in this episode, we tell you exactly how.
This year, give yourself the gift of never having to diet again.

The average adult will DOUBLE their alcohol consumption during the holidays and as a dieter you know, that throwing back boozy drinks can easily prevent you from progressing on your weight loss goal.
Typical diet advice is to limit your intake and to choose the lowest calorie option (I'm looking at you Vodka & Soda with lime), but does this actually help? Or, does it hurt?
And what about the eating!? You can't possibly uncork a bottle of wine without cheese and crackers, right? I mean, that would be criminal. And you deserve it. After all, you've worked hard all year and it's the holidays! This is no time to be a Scrooge.
We all know that you can't nurse a hangover the next day without a greasy cheeseburger and fries, right? After all, something has to soak up all that booze!
Basically, dieters do everything wrong when it comes to consuming alcohol. This episode is going to turn everything you think you know about drinking and weight loss, upside down. And that's a good thing! Because what you're doing hasn't worked.
In this episode, I share exactly how I eat, drink, and be merry without the holiday weight gain. Isn't it time for you to put the joy back into eating and drinking, too?

Break the cycle of holiday weight gain by taking control of EXACTLY what and how much you eat using the 7 simple steps outlined in The Ultimate Toolkit to Stop Holiday Overeating. No foods off limits. No counting calories. No drama.
This week marks the beginning of several weeks of holidays.
That means parties, family gatherings, and lots of food.
Thanksgiving is all about being grateful for what we have, who we are connected to in our lives.
But too often, for most, itâs all about the food.
The turkey.
The stuffing.
The pies.
The side dishes.
Need I go on?
You donât have to go to your holiday meals carrying a small Tupperware container with veggies and cottage cheese.
Thatâs old school, right?
You are here to live your life and that includes enjoying good food.
But that doesnât have to mean that you leave this holiday being as stuffed as the turkey. I want you to feel excited going into this holiday, not dreading it.
So this week, Coach Steph and I talk about dealing with this holiday season in a way that allows for pleasure, but still leaves you in charge of what you do, how you eat and how you feel.
Iâm going to show you how to think going into these celebrations, what to do, and how to create an occasion for yourself that you can look back at and feel proud. Proud of yourself for keeping your word to yourself, AND still enjoying all of the food.
Can you do it? After listening to this episode, I have NO DOUBT.Connect with Leslie:

Break the cycle of holiday weight gain by taking control of EXACTLY what and how much you eat using the 7 simple steps outlined in The Ultimate Toolkit to Stop Holiday Overeating. No foods off limits. No counting calories. No drama.
As a dieter, I was a gold medalist in "grazingâ.
Primarily because I was constantly trying to eat the least amount of food possible at every eating event â or at least stay within my feeble boundary of the day â which left me perpetually unsatisfied, running back and forth to the kitchen continuously throughout the day. (Iâm pretty sure this isnât what the fitness industry meant when promoting 10,000 steps a day.)
It never occurred to me that I could go to a restaurant and order what I really wanted for dinner⌠right off the entrÊe menu⌠without having to ask for anything "on the side."
Even when I was "off track," I never gave myself permission to go to a restaurant and order something truly filling and satisfying.
Instead, I'd rummage through my cabinets grabbing handfuls of nuts and spoonfuls of peanut butter until I felt sick. And this is exactly why I could never lose those last stubborn 10-15 pounds.
Join me in this episode as I discuss the #1 mistake most dieters are making and they don't even realize it. I'll also reveal the simple yet delicious tweak I made to my eating that changed everything for me.

Are you a member of the Clean Plate Club? Do you typically eat until all the food on your plate is gone, regardless of how much has been served?
If the answer is yes, you are certainly not alone. This habit is, by far, the most challenging for the majority of my clients to overcome. Unfortunately, this is also the self-sabotaging habit thatâs contributed to your unwanted extra pounds.
âNaturally thinâ people eat differently. Occasionally, theyâll overeat on holidays or while traveling to exotic places and sampling novelty items, but mostly, they stop when their body communicates it has had enough.
Dieters, however, eat according to a clock, or a meal plan, or a calorie total. Theyâre in their minds while the naturally thin are in their bodies.
So, how do these magical people accomplish this herculean task? Join me on today's episode to discover the secret eating habits of the naturally thin so you can take control of your eating without going on another soul-sucking diet.

In this episode we debunk the lie that the fitness industry teaches about discipline being the key to a successful transformation and how that philosophy has kept dieters on a hamster wheel for years.
Every frustrated dieter wonders why they canât just be more disciplined. They wonder why they can start off strong and the wheels inevitably fall off.
Generic dieting advice and the âjust try harderâ narrative is flawed. In reality, most people have tried harder to lose weight than anything else theyâve ever had to work at.
So if trying harder isnât the answer, what is?
Imagine waking up each day trusting that you arenât going to overeat, that you wonât run out of willpower, and youâll go to bed that night feeling proud that you broke the habit of overeating. How would it feel to be in control of food, instead of food controlling you?
Our habits shape our lives and finding the right system makes all the difference in the world.
Whether youâve been a Restrictor or a Permitter in your dieting past, your current habits either work for you or against you.
When you understand the power of a habit, for better or worse, itâs easy to see how having the right habits, systems, and support in place is a game changer when it comes to fat loss.
In this episode, youâll discover how to become consistent so you can not only achieve your goals, but you can maintain them with ease.

Today, I explore the pros and cons of calorie counting and intuitive eating. Everything you've learned in your years of dieting isn't trash. And everything promoted by the intuitive eating community also isn't a dumpster fire.
The problem with both of these methodologies is when they're taken to extremes, soo why not try something in the middle? Something that's actually doable and doesn't bring you so much frustration that you quit every other day?
Maybe a detailed step-by-step process that DOESN'T require calorie counting, but DOES involve tracking and being accountable to your eating behavior?
And instead of beating yourself up when you're unable to execute your plan to perfection, you take the time to evaluate what happened through reflective journaling so you can practice better the next day?
If you're ready to quiet the food noise and crank the dial up on consistent weight loss without updating My Fitness Pal before every meal, we've got you covered!

In this week's episode, I respond to a Reddit post titled, "The habits of naturally fat people" in which a woman who's recently lost 45 pounds discusses the subtle fat gaining habits she had when she was obese.
Coach Steph Miramontes and I address each one of the daily habits she shared and discuss how they may seem insignificant on their face, but executed consistently over an extended period of time is exactly how weight gain happens.
Because these habits are so minor, it's easy to dismiss them in favor for much bigger changes, but this is one of the biggest mistakes you can make.
Join us to discover the 4 daily fat gaining habits you don't even know you're doing!

As a professional dieter, you've probably read a lot about compulsive overeating and the uncontrollable urges that drive food obsession. So much so, that you may even feel like you're addicted to food.
And chances are, what you're experiencing feels like what you're battling is far beyond willpower and personal discipline.
But here's the thing. If this was a true deficit in your character, you would not be where you are in terms of career, education, regular workouts and adherence to other things in life.
So what the F*#% is going on here!?
Today, we discuss how you can dump the constant raging voice that tells you to eat just for the sake of eating.
I know. I've been there.
It doesn't just yell, it screams, "EAT THIS; EAT THIS; EAT THIS NEXT; WHAT ARE WE EATING NEXT?" regardless of what is going on. In fact, you could literally be finishing a satisfying meal and the voice will yell to eat something else, even though I am hungry and genuinely do not need anymore.
Don't miss today's episode as Coach Steph and I breakdown HOW this happens and WHAT you can do, starting immediately, to silence this voice forever.

Slow and steady wins the race, but dieters crave fast, fierce, and furious for their weight loss programs.
Instant gratification dominates the mindsets of most dieters. They want quick solutions and quicker results.
Consider what causes you to pursue a long-term project - like writing a book, building a relationship, learning an instrument, etc.
With long-term projects, sooner or later, we need evidence that weâre making progress. Without it, it would seem silly to continue pursuing it forever without the reward of accomplishment.
People donât spend 20 years eating healthy and working their tail off at the gym without pleasure and reward mixed in. And if the goal is to maintain a lean physique for forever, we canât rely solely on external validators, like a scale or mirror. Why?
1. Because those results arenât immediate.
2. Because those results donât continue changing after maintenance.
Unfortunately, this is where most dieters get stuck. Instead of chasing instant gratification in emotional and compulsive eating, what if you learned how to develop a new reward system? How would it feel to be able to delay instant gratification for permanent weight loss?
Dive into this week's episode as we discuss exactly how to do just that.

If you want to be someone who rarely thinks about food and feels completely in control of what you eat in a way that feels easy, then you have to learn how to adopt the inner psychology and eating habits of a ânaturally thinâ person. The glaring difference between the lifestyle of Burned Out Dieter vs the lifestyle of the âNaturally Thinâ is that theyâre both making drastically different decisions based on their inner psychology and daily eating habits. So for example, a ânaturally thinâ person who eats consistent portions at every meal for years is on autopilot. And for Burned Out Dieters who are constantly getting on and off track with their eating â have created a habit of restrict-then-overeat. They also do things like: Cleaning their plate at every meal Pick at food while theyâre preparing it Eating when theyâre procrastinating, bored, or stressed So, the question then becomes, how do we choose to do the things that ânaturally thinâ people do consistently? The diet industry will tell you that itâs about âeating less and moving moreâ and while thatâs factually accurate, itâs shit advice and only half of the conversation. Everyone already knows what they should be doing to lose weight. The question is WHY arenât they doing it? No one in the diet industry wants to touch this question. Itâs easier to talk about eating protein, vegetables, and tracking your caloriesâŚbut itâs also why 95% of dieters are failing at long-term weight loss. Answering this question requires understanding how your inner psychology influences your eating behaviors. Join me on today's episode as we help you unravel your ties to emotional eating and develop the eating habits of the 'naturally thin'.

Do you know why your diet isn't working?
Join co-coach, Steph Miramontes, and me in this weekâs episode as we dive into the 4 reasons why you still haven't lost the weight.
Most people choose to follow meal plans and cookie cutter diets over a more mindful approach because the ârulesâ and boundaries have already been created for you. This helps you feel safe and confident in your decisions, but the truth is â diets never go as planned.
If you donât take the time to understand the purpose behind what youâre doing, you will be easily discouraged when times get tough.
Diets wonât teach you how to navigate off the beaten path, and thatâs where success is ultimately determined.
sick days having a baby going through a divorce the loss of a loved one accepting a job offer in a different state
If you want long-term sustainable weight loss, you must start educating yourself on how this process can be woven into the fabric of your every day life, not just for the next 12 weeks.
Give this episode a listen for multiple ideas on how to put this into practice.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Are you a Burned Out Dieter Who's Struggling to Stay on Track? Join me and Coach Steph in the Outsmart Overeating program -- 6 weeks dedicated to helping emotional, binge, and compulsive overeaters STOP OVEREATING through psychology, NOT restrictive dieting or willpower. You can snag all the details on the enrollment page.
This week, I invited client, Dr Leah, onto the show to share her experience in my signature psychology-based weight loss program, Unstuffed. As a doctor, Leah reveals how little formal nutrition education she actually received in her medical training. And as a struggling dieter herself, she found the standard medical recommendation to "follow a Keto diet for weight loss" to be nearly impossible to maintain, especially after having her first child. In this episode, Leah talks about the power of habits and the benefit of having a deeper 'why' than simply wanting to lose weight for health and vanity. In Leah's case, she felt a strong connection to wanting to honor and respect a body that was made in God's image. Also, it was important to her to pass down these habits to her children and create a healthy environment where she could thrive -- both in home and at the office with her patients -- by being a good role model. She's been enjoying the benefits of the program so much that she's now convinced her husband (another doctor) to join. Healthy habits truly are the gift that keeps on giving!
If you're a burned out dieter who's feeling frustrated and hopeless, be sure to give this episode a listen. Dieting challenges usually get worse with time, not better. Do your future-self a favor and take action now.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Are you a Burned Out Dieter Who's Struggling to Stay on Track? Join me and Coach Steph on our FREE LIVE TRAINING as we share how to achieve Lifelong Weight Loss through psychology, NOT restrictive dieting or willpower. You can snag all the details when you register HERE.
As Nicolette was entering her 20's, she started developing an eating disorder. She eventually found a therapist, and at first her progress was significant. But slowly, over time, she noticed that she was still thinking about food in an obsessive and controlling way.
It wasn't as obvious as before, but the subtle behaviors -- like trying to eat 'clean' and stick to her macros -- still felt like they were consuming too much of her mental bandwidth.
This week, I'm excited to share the story of past client, Nicolette Tomaszewski. At 37 years-old, Nicolette is now a therapist, who has recently undergone one of the most transformative eating experiences of her life.
In this episode, Nicolette gets real by getting vulnerable. Some of the topics discussed:
She reveals the unconventional process that changed everything and how it turned out to be EXACTLY what she needed to break-free from the cycle of dysfunctional dieting for good.
She shares why therapy didn't give her all the tools she needed to stop the weight loss obsession (and what has actually worked)
How this going through this life-changing process has impacted the way she counsels her own clients in therapy in a way that's compassionate, yet goal-supporting
How breaking up with dieting has opened up more ways for her to live a rich, rewarding life while maintaining a healthy, fit body in a way that feels easy and effortless.
If you're a burned out dieter who's feeling frustrated and hopeless, be sure to give this episode a listen. Dieting challenges usually get worse with time, not better. Do your future-self a favor and take action now.
