    You're Already Dreading It. Christmas Food Anxiety

    It is the first of November. Nobody has put a tree up. And you already have a feeling in your stomach about Christmas. That feeling arrives eight weeks early, every single year, and it arrives before a single mince pie does. Which rather gives away what is actually being dreaded. In this episode: Why the dread turns up in November and not in December How November gets written off as a nothing month, because diet culture says you cannot be on it when there are things in the diary What is genuinely being dreaded, which is not the food. It is the loss of control, other people's comments, and what January is going to say about all of it The one decision to make this week, eight weeks out, while everything is still calm You are not dreading Christmas. You are dreading January. F*ck the Diet Cycle is hosted by Loren Knight and Abbie Lodge, mindset coaches who help women come off the diet cycle for good. Loren spent fifteen years in slimming clubs and lost the same stone eleven times. Abbie lost hers eight. In all those years nobody ever asked either of them why they ate the way they did.

    Don't Pass Your Food Guilt Down With the Halloween Sweets!

    "Don't eat too many sweets!" "It's not good for you!" "Have what you want it's Halloween!" "You got it, it's all yours!" Sound familiar? Halloween is supposed to be FUN. Kids dressing up, knocking on doors, collecting sweets and enjoying a little bit of childhood magic. But somewhere along the way, our own complicated relationships with food can start creeping into the conversations we have with our children. And sometimes we don't even realise we're doing it. In this Halloween special, we're talking about the language we use around food, the messages our children absorb and how our own experiences with dieting can influence the next generation. We're exploring why labelling foods as naughty, attaching guilt to eating and making negative comments can create unnecessary anxiety around something that should be enjoyable. We'll also share practical ways to approach Halloween sweets, establish sensible boundaries without shame and encourage children to develop a positive relationship with food. And yes, we'll be talking about the adults too! Because you don't have to raid your children's Halloween stash in secret, feel guilty about enjoying a chocolate bar or announce that you're starting a diet on Monday. Your children are listening to how you talk about food. But they're also watching how you act yourself. Let's give them something different to grow up with.

    It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like MARKETING!

    Halloween sweets. Bonfire Night treats. Christmas chocolates. Festive coffees. Limited editions. MULTIBUY OFFERS EVERYWHERE. And apparently, if you don't buy it RIGHT NOW, you're missing out on the greatest opportunity of your entire existence. 😂 Welcome to the final few months of the year, when every supermarket, coffee shop and social media advert seems determined to convince you that you absolutely NEED something. But here's the thing... The marketing isn't accidental. And neither is the pressure it creates. In this episode, we're pulling apart the clever marketing tactics that dominate this time of year. We're talking about limited time offers, seasonal products, emotional advertising, scarcity tactics and how businesses capitalise on our excitement around celebrations. We'll also explore how diet culture jumps on the very same bandwagon, convincing us that we need to earn our festive food, compensate for celebrations or squeeze in one last diet before Christmas. And we're sharing practical ways to enjoy everything this season has to offer without getting swept up in every promotion or feeling guilty about your choices. Because you CAN enjoy seasonal food. You CAN take advantage of a genuinely good offer. And you CAN walk past a festive display without feeling like you're missing out. Just because the marketing is clever doesn't mean you have to fall for every bloody trick.

    The Version of You at 8PM Isn't Broken. She Needs Support

    You've smashed your morning. You've been productive, looked after everyone else, worked your arse off and managed approximately 473 things on your never ending to do list. Then 8pm arrives. You're knackered. You're overwhelmed. You're standing in front of the fridge wondering why you suddenly want to eat the entire contents. And what do you do? YOU BLAME YOURSELF. You tell yourself you've got no willpower. That you've ruined another day. That tomorrow you'll be better. But what if your evening eating habits have very little to do with willpower and everything to do with how you've treated yourself throughout the day? In this episode, we're exploring what happens when women spend their entire day meeting everybody else's needs while completely ignoring their own. We're talking about stress, exhaustion, undereating, emotional eating and the patterns that leave us feeling completely out of control by the evening. More importantly, we're sharing practical ways to support yourself BEFORE you reach breaking point. Because sometimes you need more food. Sometimes you need rest. Sometimes you need five bloody minutes where nobody wants anything from you. And sometimes you need to recognise that food has become your only opportunity to switch off. Stop trying to fix the woman you become at 8pm. Start supporting the woman you are at 8am.

    Why Is It Never Just ONE Biscuit? The Diet Culture Trap

    ONE biscuit. ONE square of chocolate. ONE little treat. And before you know it, you've eaten considerably more than you originally intended. Sound familiar? But here's the question nobody seems to ask... WHY are we so obsessed with only allowing ourselves ONE in the first place? In this episode, we're unpacking the damage toxic diet culture has done to our relationship with food. We're talking about the rules we've created, the foods we've labelled good and bad, and how restriction can turn something as simple as eating a biscuit into a full blown mental battle. We'll explore why the pressure to stop at one can sometimes make you want ten, how guilt feeds the all or nothing mentality and why giving yourself unconditional permission to eat doesn't mean you'll automatically eat everything in sight. Because sometimes you genuinely want one biscuit. Sometimes you want three. And sometimes you don't actually fancy a bloody biscuit at all! The goal isn't learning how to stop at one. It's learning how to stop making food such a massive battle. This episode is partnered with Worthy Of. Semi cured gel nail stickers that last up to three weeks.

    Your Eating Isn’t Random: What Is Your Body Trying to Tell You?

    Ever had a week where you feel completely in control around food… and then suddenly you want to eat EVERYTHING? It’s easy to blame yourself. “I’ve got no willpower.”“I’m emotional eating again.”“I’ve messed it up.” But what if there’s actually a pattern you haven’t spotted yet? In this episode, we’re talking about the connection between mood, stress, hormones, your menstrual cycle and the way you eat, and why we go much deeper with our clients than simply telling them what to put on their plate. We share how we help women start noticing their own patterns. When does your hunger change? When are cravings stronger? What happens when you're stressed? How does your mood affect your choices? What keeps happening at certain points in the month? Because when you understand the why, you can stop treating every change in appetite or food choice like a failure. And this is where ending the diet cycle REALLY happens. Not through another set of rules. Not by trying harder to be “good”. But by learning to connect the dots between your body, your mind and your behaviour. Your body has probably been giving you clues for years. Maybe it’s time we actually listened.

    You’re Not Selfish: You’re the Missing Piece

    Women are bloody brilliant at looking after everyone else. Kids. Partners. Work. Businesses. Homes. Friends. Family. And then, if there’s any time left over, maybe themselves. But what is constantly putting yourself last actually costing you? In this episode, we’re talking about the guilt so many women feel around taking time for themselves, and why the thing you keep telling yourself you “don’t have time for” might actually be the missing piece of the puzzle. Because taking care of yourself isn't just bubble baths, spa days and whatever wellness trend Instagram is obsessed with this week. It’s working out what YOU need to feel good, function well and have something left to give. And when you start giving yourself that time? It can impact your food choices, mindset, energy, confidence, relationships, work and the way you show up for everyone else too. You don't need to copy somebody else's 5am routine. You don't need another self care craze to keep up with. You need to stop feeling guilty for giving yourself some of the time, energy and attention you so freely give everybody else. Because looking after yourself isn't getting in the way of your success. It might actually be the key to it.  This episode is partner with Kathy Sanderson Healing From Within Here is a message from her - I've created a little podcast only extra called A Little Something While You Wait.

    When Did Self-Care Become Another Bloody Chore?

    Somewhere along the way, self care became another thing we’re apparently supposed to be good at. Morning routines. Journalling. Ice baths. Supplements. Meditation. 10,000 steps. Skincare routines. Whatever the latest bloody wellness trend is. But what if none of that actually makes YOU feel better? In this episode, we’re stripping self care back to what it was supposed to be in the first place,  something that supports you, not another job on your to do list. We’re talking about ignoring the crazes, trends and constant stream of “you NEED to try this” and figuring out what genuinely helps you feel calmer, happier, more energised or more like yourself. Because self care might be a walk. It might be an early night. It might be saying no. It might be seeing your mates, sitting in silence, going to the gym or doing absolutely f**k all for an hour. If your self care is stressing you out, we might have missed the point. You don't need a better self care routine. You need to know what actually takes care of YOU.  This episode is partner with Kathy Sanderson Healing From Within Here is a message from her - I've created a little podcast only extra called A Little Something While You Wait.
