Ep 231: Why I quit instagram

Many of us (kinda) know that what we think creates the outcomes we experience in our lives but we find it hard to connect that our thinking greatly impacts our weight and experience of food. Instead, we blame circumstances for our weight outcomes and don't recognise that we're believing every single thought we think as fact (when they're not).This episode explains the importance of being honest about how you think about your weight, body and self-worth so that you can understand the energy and outcomes it's creating. Because we absolutely attract what we put out. I share how if you want things to be different, you have to think differently otherwise your weight and experience of food will never really change. ⁠To buy the Love How You Eat food planner, click here >⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠To buy the Stop Emotional Eating podcast course, click here >⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find out more about my next 1:1 coaching intake Jan 2027 here >

I know this isn't breaking news (!) but there is significance in this decision that I encourage you to be curious about. I explain how Instagram had become a comfortable marketing activity even though it wasn't really bringing me new clients and as a buffer that distracted me from doing vulnerable work, exploring business ideas, prioritising proper rest, and deepening connections.I compare Instagram to an “energy vampire” and explain how it puts us in an unconscious state comparison and judgment which will affect our self-image and confidence.I encourage you to ask what scrolling is stopping you from doing, what it might be protecting you from, and whether you will value that time later.Reflection prompts:Notice how scrolling affects your time, energy, and the outcomes you want.Ask what you might be avoiding or protecting yourself from when you reach for your phone.Decide whether the time you spend scrolling is something you will be glad you spent later.Choose a specific alternative that supports you, such as rest, a walk, reading, journaling, or reaching out to a friend.⁠To buy the Love How You Eat food planner, click here >⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠To buy the Stop Emotional Eating podcast course, click here >⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find out more about my next 1:1 coaching intake Jan 2027 here >

I can't tell you the amount of people that tell me that have a sweet tooth which invariably means they eat sugar in an erratic, uncontrolled way when they're not hungry. This episode explains how your identity, and the way you think about yourself, matters. The things you tell yourself, no matter how innocuous, are insidious and will create the outcomes of your life (and body). And if you don’t think consciously, you’ll be relying on the primal part of the brain that doesn’t know about you and how you feel and what makes you truly feel your best emotionally. That part of your brain will always prioritise sugar, and the more you obey it and reward it the more it’s going to drive you towards it. It’s time to break free of that frustrating cycle by thinking on purpose and creating an identity that actually serves you.NEXT INTAKE JANUARY 2027!

Quitting vaping has really shown me what it takes to create the changes we might want for ourselves and also revealed what doesn't work.lovehowyoueat.com

If you're following the Love How You Eat principles consistently and not getting the results you want, I encourage you to get curious about whether you're telling yourself an unhelpful story about what counts as empowered eating. I give a personal example of a work birthday cake and eating tiramisu at Jamie Oliver's house (you read that right!) to explain exactly what I mean. Get to know me: lovehowyoueat.com

If you are feeling stuck or not getting the results you think you deserve, I encourage you to listen to this episode. You might be stuck in diet mentality more than you think and it'll be tripping you up without you really realising it, leading to an under-eating (restricting) and over-eating cycle (self-abandonment) that means you don't actually get anywhere. You deserve so much better than that. lovehowyoueat.com
