    losing the weight of generational dieting with Summer R [Melissa's former client]

    For years, Summer didn’t even consider her dieting to be a “problem”. How could it be? A self proclaimed “good girl’ - she was convinced clean eating and weight loss were good girl things to do. Her takeaway when diets failed her? SHE was the problem. Coming from a family of generational dieters, and eager to do whatever it took to get dieting “right", Summer eventually wound up in a scary, restrictive on-and-off dieting pattern.  Today, Summer speaks about her experiences with chronic dieting recovery, including insights from her 1:1 coaching work with Melissa inside the No More Guilt Coaching program. This episode will help you: make meaning of the sadly, all-too-common generational diet trauma experience of dieting with your Mother as a teen unpack how magazines like “Seventeen” and “Shape” normalized disordered body ideals and dieting practices explore why so many people say "it's not that bad" about their disordered eating (as Summer shares the scary dieting moment that ultimately brought her to Intuitive Eating) figure out the difference between true Intuitive Eating and just “tricking yourself” you are doing it (but actually you are still dieting) You will love Summer's simple tips on what she did to finally stop snapping back into diet culture in a never ending spiral, and learn what she loves most about her newfound food freedom, just 7 months after starting her work with Melissa inside the No More Guilt Coaching program.

    it's never "too late" to become an Intuitive Eater with Patrice W. [Melissa's former client]

    How long have you been dieting? Has it been an ACTUAL lifetime? Extended exposure to dieting may come new worries: can you really change after all this time? Is it worth even trying at this point? Can you be healthy as you get older AND recover your relationship with food at the same time? Too many women tell themselves "it's not that bad" - further perpetuating the never ending diet cycle! In this episode Melissa interviews her former client Patrice so she can share her successes inside the No More Guilt 3 month program after dieting for 50+ years. As a retired woman in her 60s, Patrice talks about how she approached intuitive eating work (first -on her own, and later with Melissa as her coach) in a way that folks of all ages can benefit from! We discuss: Patrice’s history with the binge-restrict diet cycle and what kept her saying "just one more time" The moment when she realized Intuitive Eating was even “a thing” Different types of support and providers available to help heal disordered eating (and how Patrice decided working with a Registered Dietitian would be right for her) The big question Melissa asked Patrice to help her overcome body image fears in time for her son’s wedding, just as she imagined.

    why can't our families be "normal" about food?

    Do you ever just wish your family was “normal’ when it came to food and body image stuff?  Especially as you start to learn more about Intuitive Eating and Health at Every Size, you can’t help but grieve what could have been if only YOUR mother had learned to break the diet cycle so that you didn't have to.  What would life be like if diet culture weren't such a big part of your family's story? I think about that all the time for my own family. And the truth is, we both may never know. What I do know is that grief around your experience with family diet trauma can feel more tender around the holidays as you may be spending more time back inside the family unit your diet trauma came from.  How do we allow differences within our family's healing journey work while also protecting our peace and calm as adult children of chronic dieters? Are  we doomed to stay stuck in our family diet trauma?  With Thanksgiving this week and the holidays around the corner, Melissa is taking you beyond “boundary setting tips” by helping you consider: What does it mean to have a “normal” family when it comes to food and body image? What generational diet response are you most likely to experience over the holidays? What boundaries can- and cannot - do for your Intuitive Eating practice How to cope with kindness while practicing boundary setting with family stuck in diet culture (who might not understand...) The pros and cons of different types of boundary setting techniques you see on social media If this episode made you realize it’s time to get more support in your Intuitive Eating work, dm me @no.more.guilt on Instagram for more information about my current programs.

    how to get past fear of needing medication with Kristie Messerli, RD, CDCES

    Do you take any medications? If not, do you ever worry you’ll have to go on them some day because of your health habits? Many people worry no longer dieting will lead to health concerns that require medications. This idea is a MAJOR roadblock to progressing in your Intuitive Eating work. How do you stop letting this common fear hold you back from becoming an Intuitive Eater? In this episode Melissa talks to fellow Dietitian Kristie Messerli about why even the IDEA of going on medication comes with so much guilt, fear, and shame and how to get past it. As a Certified Diabetes Educator, Kristie shares how to use informed decision making when it comes to deciding (with your doctor!) how medication might fit into your health care plan. Though these examples center on Kristie’s experience with diabetes medication, this episode is a must-listen for anyone trying to understand more about Health at Every Size and how the philosophy considers medication as a tool for health. We discuss: Common fears people experience before going on medications What different diabetes medications do in the body - including pros and cons Can you go from pre-diabetes to normal range without medication? What kinds of things should you be considering before you go on medication? What is informed decision making? How can you practice it in your everyday life? Of course - Kristie and I are Dietitians, but we’re not YOUR Dietitian so please consult with your doctor before making any changes to your lifestyle behaviors or medication usage. Our opinions are our own and do not serve as a substitute for medical advice. Are you new to the pod? Been here a while? Your 5 star review and feedback means the world!

    is it okay if eating sweets makes you happy?

    Favorite halloween candy on three! 1, 2, 3. JUNIOR MINTS! Whatever your go to halloween sweet - we need to talk. It's okay if you love sweets - including halloween candy. And, it's okay if you love food in general. Too often new Intuitive Eaters try to banish their love of food by turning Intuitive Eating into a restrictive diet. When it comes to sweets, if you focus too much on *whether or not you should keep sweets in the house* and *stopping when full* you miss the bigger picture: allowing SATISFACTION to guide your eating effortlessly, so you finally feel free! What if you could relax, and confidently keep sweets in the house with no more guilt? This week, you can use available halloween candy as an opportunity to learn how to create this exact kind of relationship with sweets. Instead of spiraling out this week over candy, Melissa will use this solo episode to show you how to find some peace as you: Let go of food morality, guilt, and shame that hurts your intuitive eating process Consider the satisfaction you get from your food (and life!) - this week, and generally Feel more comfortable with an “All foods fit” mindset as part of your gentle nutrition approach Self-assess where candy binges are coming from if you’ve already stopped dieting and no longer really call foods “good” and “bad” in your mind Melissa also gives you some reflection questions to reframe your relationship with food by surfacing thoughts and feelings that might be getting in the way.  Dm Melissa @no.more.guilt anytime you’d like to say hello and share a favorite takeaway from the episode.
