I wore a pair of jeans yesterday.

Hold the front door!

I work from home and wear the same 3 pairs of Sweaty Betty yoga pants I’ve had for 5 years (the loose ones) on repeat, day in, day out.

But yesterday I put some jeans on and all I could think about as I was sitting in the car was how they were digging into my stomach.

This then led to thoughts about whether I’ve gained weight, should I cut down on the afternoon biccies, or start working out more?

All of a sudden this stupid pair of Levi’s had sent me down a body image and diet culture rabbit hole that doesn’t exist when I’m wearing elasticated pants 😂

I’m sharing this because it’s a conversation I have with women ALL the time - specifically in a coaching clinic recently about feeling the pull to lose weight, but not wanting to go back to the misery of being on a diet.

And what I want to name here is that two things can be true at the same time.

You can want to feel more comfortable in your body and your clothes AND be totally done with the misery of restrictive dieting.

You’re not a bad feminist or a failed non-dieter for wanting to feel good in your clothes.

Most women I speak to don’t want to be the smallest version of themselves. They want to feel comfortable and confident, and not constantly thinking about food.

This doesn’t mean making peace with being uncomfortable. It’s about getting out of your own head around food so you can just...get on with it.

I spoke to a woman yesterday who said she doesn’t even know how to eat anymore but is constantly thinking about food.

She’s tried so many things - keto, fasting, high protein, low carb, Slimming World, cutting out sugar - that somewhere along the way her own instincts just... went silent.

And now perimenopause has shown up. And everyone has an opinion about how she should be eating in midlife. Cycle syncing. Carnivore. No, wait - it’s all about the protein. Have you tried fasting? Actually don’t fast, it’s terrible for your cortisol.

She is doing her absolute best. Tracking her protein like it’s a second job. Being good all day.

And then collapsing on the sofa at night with a bar of Dairy Milk and promising herself she’ll cut out sugar again from Monday.

Here’s what I want her to know.

The fact that she can’t stop thinking about food is not down to a lack of discipline (although that’s what she believes about herself).

She’s either not eating enough during the day - because being good has become more important than being fed - or she’s told herself certain foods are off limits for so long that her brain won’t shut up about them.

Food noise is a literal biological response to both of these scenarios.

More discipline is not the answer. It will backfire. It
always does.

If you can relate to this too, comment NOISE below and I’ll send you a link to my free five day email series to help you quiet the food noise.

This came up in my coaching clinic inside Nourished last week and it’s been on my mind a lot.

One of my members had been looking at an old photo of herself. She said looked so good in it - confident, happy, relaxed.

And then she said: that was when I was doing Slimming World. Why can’t I get back to that?

I SO know that feeling and I bet you do too.

The thing is - that photo is only showing you part of the story. It’s not showing you the tracking, the obsessing, the food noise that was getting louder every single day until eventually it all snapped.

I have a ‘skinny’ photo from 10 years ago that I moon at, and then I remind myself I wasn’t eating carbs at the time and I really, really like (and need) carbohydrates!

I also wasn’t perimenopausal!

Let me know if this hits a nerve.

And if you’re done with the cycle but don’t know what comes next, comment NOISE below and I’ll send you my free five day email series on quieting the food noise.

You’ve started more diets than you can count.

And every single one has ended the same way.

The late night eating. The “I’ve blown it now.” The starting again on Monday.

And every time, you think - God, why can I never just stick to anything?

Here’s what’s actually happening.

Every time you restrict, it’s like pulling an elastic band.

A little tighter every day. The tracking, the saying no, the managing the food noise.

And it always, always snaps.

But that voice in your head that beats you up for “failing” is back with a vengeance. This isn’t failure or weakness or a lack of discipline.

An elastic band will always snap if it’s pulled too tight.

The goal is not to pull it tighter. It’s to stop pulling it altogether and just drop the bloody elastic band.

If that resonates, comment NOISE below and I’ll send you my free five day series on quieting the food noise. No more starting over on Monday.

The guilt after eating something you “weren’t supposed to” isn’t keeping you as accountable as you think.

It’s actually making the cravings worse.

There’s a reason for that - and it’s not what you’ve been told before. Swipe through.

The first step is understanding what’s actually driving it. I break it all down in my free 5-day email series - link in my bio. ❤️

The evening snacking spiral is not a sudden lack of willpower. It actually starts at 7am.

Has food been feeling loud for you lately?

Felt a little ranty.

I’m just tired and you probably are too.

This app is driving me nuts.

I might not be viral but at least I’m real, honest and authentic ❤️

You’re not “bad” around food.

You’re tired, underfed, stressed out… and the cookies never stood a chance.

If you’ve ever spent all day being “good”, only to unravel by 9pm with biscuits, snacks, or chocolate… this is for you.

This is often the result of under-eating, over-restricting, and trying to survive perimenopause in an ill-fitting bra.

Then life kicks off and suddenly you’re stood in the kitchen thinking,

“FFS. I was doing so well.”

I’m covering exactly why this happens in my free workshop - and how to break the cycle without more food rules.

Perimenopausal? ✅
Waking up tired? ✅
Crashing in the afternoon? ✅
Craving sugar all evening? ✅

You don’t need another ridiculous diet hack, restrictive plan or to “be better” with food.

You need to fuel your body adequately and stop using Dairy Milk as your only nervous system support.

I’m going to be breaking it all down in my Live Workshop on Wednesday 25th March at 7pm.

You’ll come away with a system for rebooting your lost energy levels and quietening those evening cravings.
