And I'd love to hear from you!
In this episode of Body Like You, Iâm talking about what I call radical responsibility for feeding yourself: the decision to stop letting busy schedules, restaurants, family preferences, social pressure, and last-minute hunger make your food choices for you.
I share how failing to plan my meals once left me relying on drive-throughs and restaurant food multiple times a day, and how learning to think about food in advance helped me lose 80 pounds of body fat and maintain that loss.
Youâll learn six practical principles for taking greater ownership of your nutrition, including packing simple meals when you leave home, speaking up at restaurants, navigating other peopleâs opinions, and learning from imperfect eating decisions without shame or blame.
This isnât about perfect meal prep, rigid dieting, or never eating for pleasure. Itâs about building self-trust, planning for predictable hunger, and treating feeding yourself as an essential form of body care.
If you struggle with yo-yo dieting, emotional eating, inconsistent meal planning, frequent takeout, or staying on track with your fat loss goals when life gets busy, this episode will help you stop feeling powerless and start creating a nutrition routine that works in real life.

And I'd love to hear from you!
In this episode of Body Like You, Aimee talks about the emotional tension around calories, clean eating, and fat loss. Many people come to fat loss after years of trying to eat perfectly, avoid the wrong foods, and work harder in the gym, only to feel stuck, ashamed, and more confused than ever.
Aimee explores why clean eating can feel emotionally comforting, especially when body shame is present, and why hearing that fat loss comes down to energy balance can feel like an accusation, even when it isnât one. She breaks down how nutrition misinformation, food rules, body dissatisfaction, and shame can keep people spinning their wheels instead of making meaningful progress.
This episode is for anyone who has tried to lose fat by eating clean, cutting out foods, chasing the latest wellness advice, or trying to purify their diet, while still feeling like their body wonât change.
Youâll learn why calories matter for fat loss, why your love of delicious food is not a character flaw, and how a more compassionate approach can help you stop fighting your body and start working with reality.

Why do âeasyâ healthy habits sometimes feel so hard?
In this episode, weâre breaking down one of the most common limiting beliefs in sustainable fat loss and behavior change: âIt shouldnât be this hard.â Whether youâre trying to go for a daily walk, cook more meals at home, go to bed earlier, eat more protein, cut back on alcohol, or stop nighttime snacking, your brain may resist even the simplest changes.
This episode explores why small, realistic habits can feel harder than extreme diets. Youâll learn how your brain prioritizes immediate comfort over long-term rewards, why temporal discounting makes behavior change so challenging, and how shame and self-criticism can lead to self-sabotage before youâve even had a chance to succeed.
Instead of assuming something is wrong with you when a simple habit feels difficult, youâll learn how to let the easy thing be hard without making it mean anything about your discipline, willpower, or worth.
If youâre working on sustainable weight loss, healthy eating, long-term fat loss maintenance, emotional eating, habit formation, or building a healthier relationship with your body, this episode will help you understand why change feels hardâand why that doesnât mean youâre failing.

What if exercising to burn calories is actually keeping you stuck?
In this episode of Body Like You, weâre rethinking fat loss, calorie burn, exercise, and mindset. If youâve ever started a workout plan hoping it would finally make fat loss happen faster, this conversation will help you understand why exercise alone is a terrible way to lose body fat and why chasing calories burned can damage your relationship with your body.
Youâll learn why fat loss ultimately depends on energy balance and a calorie deficit, but also why the advice to âeat less and move moreâ is far too simplistic. Weâll talk about total daily energy expenditure, why exercise only makes up a small percentage of daily calorie burn, and how your metabolism adapts when you increase activity.
Most importantly, this episode explores the mindset trap of treating exercise as a transaction: âI worked out, so I earned food,â or âI burned calories, so my body owes me weight loss.â That approach often leads to frustration, body resentment, overexercise, and giving up.
You'll hear how to separate exercise from punishment, calorie debt, and body dissatisfaction and begin seeing movement as a way to build strength, vitality, body trust, and positive body image.

Have you ever looked at someone who seems to eat whatever they want, stay effortlessly thin, and thought, âItâs so unfairâ?
In this episode, I unpack the painful comparison loop that happens when your body, weight, or relationship with food feels harder than everyone elseâs.
I also look at what research suggests about people who appear to stay thin without effort, and why the story your brain tells about them may not be the full truth.
PMID: 35839758.
Youâll learn how to notice body comparison, send compassion to yourself, and move out of resentment and into a more grounded, caring relationship with your body and food.
Topics covered: body image, weight loss, yo-yo dieting, food struggles, fatphobia, self-compassion, thin privilege, body comparison, emotional eating, diet mindset, metabolism myths, and compassionate health behavior change.

What if the thing keeping you stuck isnât a lack of discipline, but the fact that youâre too close to your own patterns to see what actually needs to change?
In this episode, Iâm talking about the power of coaching, support, and having someone in your corner who can see the path forward when youâre spinning your wheels. I share my own experience of hiring a trainer to help me with strength training, chronic pain, fatigue, recurring injuries, and stalled progress in the gym, and how his plan was not what I wanted, but exactly what I needed.
Weâll talk about why behavior change is so hard to do alone, especially when your routines feel safe, your all-or-nothing thinking kicks in, or your fear of change convinces you to keep doing the same thing harder. I also connect this to nutrition coaching, fat loss, clean eating, body image, overexercising, and the frustration of putting in a lot of effort without getting the result you want.
This episode is for anyone who has been working hard on their fitness, nutrition, weight loss, or body image goals but keeps running into the same obstacles. A good coach can help you stop wasting years on strategies that arenât working, give you a clearer plan, and support you through the discomfort of doing the thing you might not want to do but probably need.

In this episode, weâre unpacking the Heavenâs Reward Fallacy and how it quietly sabotages fat loss, body image, and long-term behavior change. If youâve ever thought, âIâve been good all week, so the scale should be down,â or âI worked hard, so I deserve faster results,â this episode will help you understand why that mindset feels so convincing, but leads to frustration, resentment, and quitting.
Weâll explore the difference between competitive motives and compassionate motives for fat loss, and why chasing confidence and admiration through body change can make fat loss feel urgent and emotionally exhausting. Youâll learn how unrealistic expectations, diet culture marketing, and the desire to feel accepted can create a painful belief that your body has ârobbedâ you when results donât happen quickly enough.
This episode also offers a more compassionate path forward: building the emotional capacity, habits, and self-respect needed to care for your body for life. Instead of using fat loss as proof that you are disciplined, lovable, or worthy, youâll learn how to reconnect with motives rooted in self-compassion and a better relationship with your body.

In this episode, Iâm talking about what happens to your health habits when life gets chaotic, especially during the end-of-school-year madness of Maycember. After a family medical emergency, packed kid schedules, work demands, and a false-alarm crisis pushed my capacity to the edge, I had to lean on a tool I use with clients all the time: The Oxygen Mask List.
Weâll unpack why all-or-nothing thinking makes it so easy to stop exercising, abandon balanced eating, and feel like you have to start over every time life gets hard. Youâll learn how to create your own flexible health plan for busy seasons using simple meals, realistic movement, and compassionate body care so you can stay consistent without chasing perfection.
This episode is for anyone trying to maintain healthy habits, lose body fat, improve body image, or build consistency when family life, work stress, and overwhelm make everything feel impossible.

In this episode, Aimee unpacks one of the most painful and common limiting beliefs around body change: âNothing has ever worked for me, and this wonât either.â This belief often shows up after years of dieting, weight loss attempts, frustration, and feeling like your body is uniquely resistant to change.
The episode explores why this thought makes so much sense, especially in a culture that treats body size as a reflection of discipline, morality, or personal worth. Instead of blaming individuals, the conversation looks at the bigger picture: biology, an obesogenic food environment, muscle loss with age, sedentary lifestyles, and the emotional toll of repeated disappointment.
A key reframe is that your body is not broken. Bodies respond logically to calories, activity, muscle mass, stress, medical conditions, and environment. The real challenge is often not knowing what works, but building the mental and emotional capacity to make sustainable changes without relying on fear, shame, or extreme dieting.

In this episode, Aimee explores one of the most common limiting beliefs that keeps people stuck: âI canât change because of other people.â
Aimee unpacks how fears about upsetting partners, children, friends, or family can become a convincing reason to avoid taking care of your body.

This episode is the first in a series on limiting beliefs around health, food, exercise, and body composition, designed to help you recognize the thoughts that keep you stuck and move forward without shame.

Happy eating!!
Have you ever noticed how babies fail over and over in their efforts to walk, but never quit? Even if they have a few tantrums along the way? Imagine if babies could feel shame or create stories around how hard it is to learn how to walk. How many of them would never learn to walk in the first place?
The lessons that truly change us often cost something: time, money, ego, comfort, or even an old identity. To change your relationship to your body and how you treat it, you will likely need to fail multiple times at many things. And failure has a cost, usually an emotional one.
If you can't manage your emotions around failure, you miss all of the lessons. And you'll stay stuck. Learning how to fail at eating and exercise
For anyone who has felt like a failure with food, body goals, consistency, or fat loss, this episode reframes failure as an essential part of learning rather than proof that something is wrong with you. Youâll learn why perfectionism, shame, and fear of failure keep so many high-achieving people stuck, and how practicing self-compassion can help you turn small failures into meaningful data instead of reasons to quit.

Happy eating!!
Have you ever gotten to the end of a horrible week or a bad day at work and said, "I deserve to DoorDash?" Or if you're out to eat with your friends, do you get dessert and tell yourself that you've earned it?
This is an incredibly common dynamic that is hurting your relationship with food.
On the surface, it seems like telling yourself you deserve to eat delicious things would be empowering! But what we'll explore in this episode is how telling yourself you deserve to eat delicious things is actually a type of emotional bypassing.
Youâll learn why food is not a reward, why exercise is not punishment, and why your body does not operate according to morality. Instead of framing eating around being âgoodâ or âbad,â this episode offers a more compassionate and honest approach: you have unconditional permission to eat, and you also have a responsibility to understand the trade-offs of your choices. This is a powerful listen for anyone healing their relationship with food, trying to stop emotional eating, or working to break free from food guilt and all-or-nothing thinking.
If youâre tired of feeling stuck between craving pleasure and fearing the consequences of eating, this episode will help you rethink food morality, understand the emotional function of your eating habits, and build a more peaceful, grounded relationship with your body.

The weather is getting hotter, and your next vacation is on the horizon. Maybe you're planning something involving bikinis or swim trunks. And while that sounds like a lot of fun, you're also feeling a bit nervous about how you look in a bathing suit. Or, maybe you feel a general sense of body anxiety around wearing shorts and tank tops.
It's the time of year that predatory fitness and wellness coaches are ready to swoop in to sell you the ultimate solution to your body dissatisfaction: the Six Week Shred.
If you've ever been tempted to lock in for several weeks because a program promised insane results, or maybe you do a crash diet every year before vacation, this podcast will cover what's really going on.
Before you sign up for any program that promises "30 POUNDS In 30 DAYS," be sure you can confidently answer the two main questions I pose in this episode. Chances are doing what you've always done and expecting this to be the year you're finally going to love your body is a teeny weeny bit of a fantasy.

Hey friends! We're back for a second week talking about cravings and how to manage them.
And if you know anything about behavior change, you already know you're not going to hear anything about willpower or discipline here.
But managing cravings and emotional eating does require the willingness to be uncomfortable and tapping into your courage to change.
In this episode, I talk about why cravings can feel so intense and what to do when food urges seem out of control. I explain how cravings are created in the brain, why willpower alone usually is not enough, and how self-compassion can help you change your eating patterns without shame. I also share the practice of urge surfing, a mindfulness-based tool that helps you pause, observe cravings, and let them pass without automatically acting on them. We explore the role of dopamine, emotional eating, food cues, and neuroplasticity, and I explain why you are not broken if food feels harder for you than it seems for other people.
This episode is for anyone struggling with cravings, secret eating, or feeling powerless around food and wanting a more compassionate, sustainable approach to nutrition and behavior change.

Happy eating, everyone.
This week I'm kicking off a little series on the part of pleasure eating that tends to upset everyone. It's the compulsive, relentless drive to eat things that we know aren't the best for our bodies or don't align with our goals. Most of us have experienced cravings, and some of us suffer from unwanted cravings to the point that it negatively impacts our lives.
Once you understand the the part of your brain that makes you yearn for food isn't the same part that likes what you are eating, you can start to notice when intense desire for food comes and how often it predicts happiness on your end.
Brains are very plastic and can be changed. You are not destined to a life of being mentally trapped by the food around you.
This one rule about craving and yearning changed my life forever, not just around food, but also around shopping, achievements, and so much more.
If you want support navigating a brain that can't stop thinking about food, 1:1 coaching is the best way to work with me:

Happy eating, everyone!
This week I'm talking about a very common fight I see in the online health and wellness community.
On one side, you have people who say, "It's perfectly normal to work out for vanity." or "Everyone works out too look good. Stop pretending."
On the other side, you have people who almost...look down on...anyone who mentions anything aesthetic about their fitness and nutrition goals.
As with most things, the truth lies in how your brain evolved to keep you alive, bringing nuance to your appearance goals, and leaning on what we know about positive body image to help you love your work. Even if right now you can't stop wanting a flat abs and a big butt.
You don't have to be ashamed or embarrassed about your body goals.
AND
You will be happier and more satisfied if you look deeper into your motivations so you're taking care of yourself in a joyful and empowering way.
I hope you find some relief and some things to think about after this episode.
As always,
