    36. Thoughts That Encourage Self-Sabotage: It's Not Fair That She Can Eat Whatever She Wants

    For 1:1 coaching inquiries, find me: Web: framenutrition.co Email: aimee@framenutrition.co IG: @coachaimee.nutrition And I'd love to hear from you! Have you ever looked at someone who seems to eat whatever they want, stay effortlessly thin, and thought, “It’s so unfair”? In this episode, I unpack the painful comparison loop that happens when your body, weight, or relationship with food feels harder than everyone else’s. I also look at what research suggests about people who appear to stay thin without effort, and why the story your brain tells about them may not be the full truth. PMID: 35839758. You’ll learn how to notice body comparison, send compassion to yourself, and move out of resentment and into a more grounded, caring relationship with your body and food. Topics covered: body image, weight loss, yo-yo dieting, food struggles, fatphobia, self-compassion, thin privilege, body comparison, emotional eating, diet mindset, metabolism myths, and compassionate health behavior change.

    35. What If You're Too Close to Your Own Patterns With Eating To See What Actually Needs To Change?

    For 1:1 coaching inquiries, find me: Web: framenutrition.co Email: aimee@framenutrition.co IG: @coachaimee.nutrition And I'd love to hear from you! What if the thing keeping you stuck isn’t a lack of discipline, but the fact that you’re too close to your own patterns to see what actually needs to change? In this episode, I’m talking about the power of coaching, support, and having someone in your corner who can see the path forward when you’re spinning your wheels. I share my own experience of hiring a trainer to help me with strength training, chronic pain, fatigue, recurring injuries, and stalled progress in the gym, and how his plan was not what I wanted, but exactly what I needed. We’ll talk about why behavior change is so hard to do alone, especially when your routines feel safe, your all-or-nothing thinking kicks in, or your fear of change convinces you to keep doing the same thing harder. I also connect this to nutrition coaching, fat loss, clean eating, body image, overexercising, and the frustration of putting in a lot of effort without getting the result you want. This episode is for anyone who has been working hard on their fitness, nutrition, weight loss, or body image goals but keeps running into the same obstacles. A good coach can help you stop wasting years on strategies that aren’t working, give you a clearer plan, and support you through the discomfort of doing the thing you might not want to do but probably need.

    34. Thoughts That Encourage Self-Sabotage: I've Worked So Hard, Fat Loss Should Have Happened By Now

    For 1:1 coaching inquiries, find me: Web: framenutrition.co Email: aimee@framenutrition.co IG: @coachaimee.nutrition And I'd love to hear from you! In this episode, we’re unpacking the Heaven’s Reward Fallacy and how it quietly sabotages fat loss, body image, and long-term behavior change. If you’ve ever thought, “I’ve been good all week, so the scale should be down,” or “I worked hard, so I deserve faster results,” this episode will help you understand why that mindset feels so convincing, but leads to frustration, resentment, and quitting. We’ll explore the difference between competitive motives and compassionate motives for fat loss, and why chasing confidence and admiration through body change can make fat loss feel urgent and emotionally exhausting. You’ll learn how unrealistic expectations, diet culture marketing, and the desire to feel accepted can create a painful belief that your body has “robbed” you when results don’t happen quickly enough. This episode also offers a more compassionate path forward: building the emotional capacity, habits, and self-respect needed to care for your body for life. Instead of using fat loss as proof that you are disciplined, lovable, or worthy, you’ll learn how to reconnect with motives rooted in self-compassion and a better relationship with your body.

    33. Maycember's Here Again! How to Stop Abandoning Your Body When Life is Crazy.

    For 1:1 coaching inquiries, find me: Web: framenutrition.co Email: aimee@framenutrition.co IG: @coachaimee.nutrition In this episode, I’m talking about what happens to your health habits when life gets chaotic, especially during the end-of-school-year madness of Maycember. After a family medical emergency, packed kid schedules, work demands, and a false-alarm crisis pushed my capacity to the edge, I had to lean on a tool I use with clients all the time: The Oxygen Mask List. We’ll unpack why all-or-nothing thinking makes it so easy to stop exercising, abandon balanced eating, and feel like you have to start over every time life gets hard. You’ll learn how to create your own flexible health plan for busy seasons using simple meals, realistic movement, and compassionate body care so you can stay consistent without chasing perfection. This episode is for anyone trying to maintain healthy habits, lose body fat, improve body image, or build consistency when family life, work stress, and overwhelm make everything feel impossible.

    32. Thoughts that Encourage Self-Sabotage: Nothing Has Ever Worked for Me, and This Won't Either

    For 1:1 coaching inquiries, find me: Web: framenutrition.co Email: aimee@framenutrition.co IG: @coachaimee.nutrition In this episode, Aimee unpacks one of the most painful and common limiting beliefs around body change: “Nothing has ever worked for me, and this won’t either.” This belief often shows up after years of dieting, weight loss attempts, frustration, and feeling like your body is uniquely resistant to change. The episode explores why this thought makes so much sense, especially in a culture that treats body size as a reflection of discipline, morality, or personal worth. Instead of blaming individuals, the conversation looks at the bigger picture: biology, an obesogenic food environment, muscle loss with age, sedentary lifestyles, and the emotional toll of repeated disappointment. A key reframe is that your body is not broken. Bodies respond logically to calories, activity, muscle mass, stress, medical conditions, and environment. The real challenge is often not knowing what works, but building the mental and emotional capacity to make sustainable changes without relying on fear, shame, or extreme dieting.

    31. Thoughts that Encourage Self-Sabotage: I Can't Change Because of Other People

    For 1:1 coaching inquiries, find me: Web: framenutrition.co Email: aimee@framenutrition.co IG: @coachaimee.nutrition In this episode, Aimee explores one of the most common limiting beliefs that keeps people stuck: “I can’t change because of other people.” Aimee unpacks how fears about upsetting partners, children, friends, or family can become a convincing reason to avoid taking care of your body. She explains why you cannot control other people’s thoughts or emotions, why neglecting yourself does not actually protect your relationships, and how to approach change with both accountability and compassion. This episode is the first in a series on limiting beliefs around health, food, exercise, and body composition, designed to help you recognize the thoughts that keep you stuck and move forward without shame.

    30. Bought Sense: Why Failure Is the Cost of Real Change With Your Body and Everything Else

    For 1:1 coaching inquiries, find me: Web: framenutrition.co Email: aimee@framenutrition.co IG: @coachaimee.nutrition Happy eating!! Have you ever noticed how babies fail over and over in their efforts to walk, but never quit? Even if they have a few tantrums along the way? Imagine if babies could feel shame or create stories around how hard it is to learn how to walk. How many of them would never learn to walk in the first place? The lessons that truly change us often cost something: time, money, ego, comfort, or even an old identity. To change your relationship to your body and how you treat it, you will likely need to fail multiple times at many things. And failure has a cost, usually an emotional one. If you can't manage your emotions around failure, you miss all of the lessons. And you'll stay stuck. Learning how to fail at eating and exercise For anyone who has felt like a failure with food, body goals, consistency, or fat loss, this episode reframes failure as an essential part of learning rather than proof that something is wrong with you. You’ll learn why perfectionism, shame, and fear of failure keep so many high-achieving people stuck, and how practicing self-compassion can help you turn small failures into meaningful data instead of reasons to quit.

    29. Why “I Deserve This” Is Keeping You Stuck

    For 1:1 coaching inquiries, find me: Web: framenutrition.co Email: aimee@framenutrition.co IG: @coachaimee.nutrition Happy eating!! Have you ever gotten to the end of a horrible week or a bad day at work and said, "I deserve to DoorDash?" Or if you're out to eat with your friends, do you get dessert and tell yourself that you've earned it? This is an incredibly common dynamic that is hurting your relationship with food. On the surface, it seems like telling yourself you deserve to eat delicious things would be empowering! But what we'll explore in this episode is how telling yourself you deserve to eat delicious things is actually a type of emotional bypassing. You’ll learn why food is not a reward, why exercise is not punishment, and why your body does not operate according to morality. Instead of framing eating around being “good” or “bad,” this episode offers a more compassionate and honest approach: you have unconditional permission to eat, and you also have a responsibility to understand the trade-offs of your choices. This is a powerful listen for anyone healing their relationship with food, trying to stop emotional eating, or working to break free from food guilt and all-or-nothing thinking. If you’re tired of feeling stuck between craving pleasure and fearing the consequences of eating, this episode will help you rethink food morality, understand the emotional function of your eating habits, and build a more peaceful, grounded relationship with your body.
