#64 - How to stop using food as a reward
Manage episode 467060443 series 3617236
Ever caught yourself thinking, I’ve been so good today… I deserve a treat?
Maybe you turned down the biscuits at work, got your workout in, stuck to your plan—and now your brain’s whispering, Go on… you’ve earned it.
I used to fall for that trick every single time. Food was my go-to reward. It was how I celebrated, relaxed, and made myself feel better. But here’s the thing—did it actually make me feel better?
Nope. It left me feeling bloated, sluggish, and frustrated.
In this episode, we’ll dive into why your brain keeps convincing you that food is a reward and how to break that cycle. You’ll learn:
• Why the I deserve a treat thought isn’t really about the food
• How scarcity thinking keeps you overeating (and how to stop it)
• What to do when food feels like the only joy in your day
• Simple, practical ways to celebrate without sabotaging your goals
If you’ve been stuck in the pattern of “being good” all day only to undo it all at night, this one’s for you.
