As we step into a new year, it’s easy to fall back into familiar promises:
“This is the year I lose the weight.”
“This is the year I finally get control around food.”
But if we’re being honest, most of us already know how that story ends—temporary motivation followed by frustration, guilt, and feeling like we’ve failed again.
In this episode of Crush Cravings with Confidence, Coach Lisa offers a gentle but powerful reality check. Not to shame you—but to help you finally break free from the cycle that keeps repeating year after year.
This conversation is not about dieting, calorie counting, or forcing yourself into another plan that doesn’t fit your real life. Instead, it’s about shifting away from weight-loss obsession and toward something far more sustainable: self-trust, emotional regulation, confidence, and true food freedom.
If you’re tired of starting over every January and ready for something that actually works, this episode is for you.
✨ In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
🌟Why New Year’s resolutions and weight-loss goals often keep you stuck in survival mode
🌟How all-or-nothing thinking shows up as “no dessert,” “no bread,” or yet another sugar cleanse—and why it never lasts
🌟The honest question to ask yourself: Has this approach ever actually worked for me?
🌟Why diets don’t fix confidence or emotional eating (and what’s really going on underneath)
🌟How weight gain is a symptom, not the problem—and why playing the “I’ll be happy when…” game always backfires
🌟The emotional cost of chasing weight loss at the expense of connection, peace, and self-worth
🌟The 7 things to focus on instead of dieting in 2026 to create real, lasting change
💛 This Episode Is a Reminder That:
You don’t need more discipline.
You don’t need another plan.
You don’t need to fix yourself.
What you actually need is more connection with yourself.
When you stop bullying yourself into another diet and start rebuilding trust with who you are, everything changes—especially your relationship with food.
Let 2026 be the year you stop surviving…and start thriving.
🎧 Tune in now and take the first step toward food freedom, confidence, and peace.
