Are you stuck in an endless cycle of yo-yo dieting and feeling out of control with your eating habits? In this powerful episode, Matty dives deep into why many of us resist taking responsibility for our actions, particularly when it comes to our relationship with food and sugar cravings. He explores the fascinating connection between our past experiences with control and our current struggles with self regulation. Key Takeaways: - The paradox of control: Why we often sabotage ourselves when we start making progress, using the same foods to both punish and reward ourselves - How past experiences with controlling relationships (parents, partners, bosses) can create a rebellion against self discipline in adulthood - The crucial difference between temporary restriction and true self leadership, and why understanding this is key to breaking free from destructive patterns - Why acknowledging failure and processing emotions is essential for genuine transformation, rather than using food, alcohol, or other distractions as escape mechanisms *** Join the Healthy Mum’s Facebook Group here: https://mattylansdown.com/HealthyMumsFBgroup *** PROGRAM ENQUIRIES: Send Matty the word ‘PROGRAM’ right here to start your journey to fix your Emotional, Binge & Overeating: https://m.me/mattylansdown *** How to Get in Touch with MATTY LANSDOWN Healthy Mum’s Facebook Group: https://mattylansdown.com/HealthyMumsFBgroup Take the 10 Day Emotional Eating Challenge: https://mattylansdown.com/take-the-10DayChallenge Send Matty the word ‘PROGRAM’ right here to discuss our programs: https://m.me/mattylansdown Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@howtonotgetsickanddiepodcast Join our Email list here: https://mattylansdown.com/JointheMailingList -- Intro/Outro track Tropic Love by "Diviners feat.
