Why can you resist everything all day and then completely lose it at night?

It’s not the cookies. It’s not the chips. It’s not even hunger.

It’s that you’ve been holding it together all day, managing stress, pushing through exhaustion, dealing with everyone else’s needs, and by 9pm, you’re emotionally tapped out 🫠

Food becomes the only thing that feels like it’s FOR YOU.

The version of me that stopped doing this didn’t suddenly get better at “being good.” I just stopped using food as my only way to decompress.

And that started with getting honest about what was actually causing me to reach for food in the first place. Was it stress? Boredom? Loneliness? That feeling of needing something just for me?

Once I could name it, I could finally do something about it.

Your willpower isn’t the problem 🧐

4 signs that your eating habits are keeping you stuck ⬇️

1️⃣You’re “good” all day long, then find yourself digging through the pantry at 9pm

You eat perfectly clean meals, track everything, stick to your plan... then evening hits and you’re standing in the kitchen eating straight from containers, undoing all your hard work from the day.

2️⃣You say ‘eff it’ on the weekends and eat whatever you want

You’re disciplined Monday through Friday, then Friday night arrives and it’s like all your willpower disappears. You tell yourself you’ll “start fresh Monday” while knowing deep down this pattern is sabotaging your progress.

3️⃣You keep losing and re-gaining the same 5-10 pounds

You lose a few pounds, then gain them back. You lose them again, gain them back again.
You’re stuck in this frustrating cycle where you never make real progress because your overeating episodes keep erasing your efforts.

4️⃣You’re always thinking about food

Even when you’re “being good,” part of your brain is constantly planning your next meal, calculating calories you have left, negotiating with yourself about snacks, or feeling guilty about what you already ate. The mental exhaustion is real.

Here’s what I’ve learned after helping hundreds of women break free from this pattern: Your overeating isn’t a willpower problem - it’s a strategy problem.

When you address the root causes of your overeating (the daytime restriction, the stress eating, the all-or-nothing thinking), the weight loss becomes so much easier because you’re not constantly fighting against yourself.

If you can’t stop thinking about food, it’s not because you’re a “foodie.”

For years, I thought I just loved food more than other people. But here’s what I finally realized:

My thoughts about food weren’t random. There was a pattern.

I wasn’t thinking about food because I loved it. I was thinking about food because I was stressed, anxious, exhausted, bored, or procrastinating.

Food was the fastest way to feel calm in every single one of those moments.

If you think you’re obsessed with food, you’re probably just an emotional eater who hasn’t identified your triggers yet.

👇 Comment START if you want to stop snacking at night and don’t know where to start!

1. ����I keep ice cream in my freezer for weeks at a time (and don’t eat the whole pint in one sitting)
2. ����I put my fork down between bites instead of inhaling my food
3. ����I eat carbs at every single meal (yes, even dinner)
4. ����I don’t skip meals to “save calories” for later
5. ����I sit down to eat instead of standing at the counter shoveling food
6. ����I eat “bad” foods without spiraling into guilt and shame
7. ����I actually feel my emotions instead of eating them away 👀

I used to think I just needed more willpower.
What I ACTUALLY needed was to understand my triggers and stop using food to cope with stress.
Now I eat like a normal person and I can’t tell you how nice that is 🙏

No obsessing. No restricting. No digging through the pantry at 9pm.

Sweetgreen has a new protein max bowl - with 106g of protein !

As a nutritionist I don’t think anyone needs this much protein in one sitting. Most people are fine with the RDA of 0.8g/kg body weight unless they are very active.

The protein hype is alive and well - and I preach about protein all the time. But please remember that protein is not the ONLY nutrient we want to think about!

What do you think?

It’s not that you don’t have enough willpower or discipline. You’re trying to fight your body’s biology instead of working WITH IT.

We have to solve our food struggles to feel calm and in control around food. You can’t “discipline” your way out of it.

As always my free tools are an amazing place to start - pick up the overeating triggers worksheet first and go from there! You can also book a food reset session with me for more support.
