Have you ever noticed how easy it can be to find a reason to eat?A great day.A hard day.Stress.Celebration.Exhaustion.In this episode, we explore emotional eating, stress eating, and what I call the “deserve it” mentality. Whether we realize it or not, this is quietly undermining our relationship with food and long-term resultsUsing real client examples, we explore how the same mindset shows up whether you’re celebrating success or struggling with stress … and why both lead to the same outcome when food becomes the reward, relief, or escape.This episode isn’t about restriction or shame.It’s about awareness, honesty, and choosing a better framework — one that supports real freedom instead of keeping you stuck in cycles of reward, guilt, and restarting.WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:What the “deserve it” mentality really is (and why it’s so common)How “deserve it” shows up during both success and stressWhy earning food through exercise, dieting, or emotional suffering backfiresWhy “deserve” vs “don’t deserve” is a trap either wayWhat it looks like to move from a deserve-it mindset to a freedom mindsetWHO THIS EPISODE IS FOR:Anyone who eats “because they deserve it” — for good days or bad onesPeople who feel stuck in cycles of reward, guilt, and restartingThose who use food to cope with stress, overwhelm, or emotionsAnyone working to rebuild a healthier relationship with foodThose who want freedom, not food rulesThis is the kind of work I do with my clients — learning how to unlink food and emotions, break unhelpful patterns, and build a healthier, more honest relationship with food.If you want support doing this work instead of trying to white-knuckle it alone, you can learn more about working together by shooting me an email at: support@CoreyLittleCoaching.comJoin Corey’s Email Fam: https://LoseFatList.comWant To Know More About Coaching: support@CoreyLittleCoaching.com

There’s something I say nearly every episode. I say it because I believe it. But the other day, I was listening to a different podcast and someone said - “I know greatness is coming your way!” At first, I really appreciated that. He’s really supporting and encouraging people. Heck yeah, I love that!  But then I thought about it a bit more … and it bothered me. It bothered me because he doesn’t know what’s coming your way. He doesn’t know me. He doesn’t know you. He doesn’t know what life’s going to bring us. And then I thought  about what I say nearly every episode. Am I doing the same thing? Am I just offering empty, hyped up motivation? Am I lying to you?? After thinking through things, I don’t believe so.  And I want to explain why right here and right now. JOIN COREY’s EMAIL FAMILY: https://LoseFatList.com

Losing weight may seem really complex and difficult for you. While it may seem much simpler for someone else. And guess what? Both of you are right. It is simple and complex all at the same time. Here’s the crazy part - both you and the other person may unknowingly insult each other in regards to losing weight and food choices! This episode centers around an interesting experience shared by a client, who expressed envy towards a friend's seemingly effortless ability to manage their weight. The friend's response wasn’t inherently hurtful, but rubbed my client wrong. This interaction serves as a springboard for a broader discussion on two significant insights regarding personal development: the dangers of making assumptions about others' experiences and the recognition that multiple truths (that might seem contradictory) can actually coexist. Today’s episode might make you mad. It might make you smile. But it will definitely make you think!JOIN COREY’s EMAIL FAMILY: https://LoseFatList.comWant to know how coaching works?Contact Corey: support@CoreyLittleCoaching.com

We’ve all made “to do” lists.  Unfortunately, not many people have ever created a “don’t do” list. That’s exactly what today’s episode is all about. I’m sharing a list of things to NOT do. It’s a list of things that will make sure you stay overweight, unhealthy, and just overall miserable w/ your body and life.  So, obviously you want to avoid these at all costs! We’ll cover all sorts of stuff like . . . Fear of failureWhen to quit and not quitYour relationship with yourself Victim mentalityAnd where you spend most of your energyIt may sound odd, but if you’ll give my list a chance, I think you’ll find it helpful, possibly eye-opening, and maybe even kind of fun.Contact Corey: support@CoreyLittleCoaching.com

Life is all about choices. Anne Frank wrote - "Our lives are fashioned by our choices. First we make our choices. Then our choices make us."Zig Ziglar said - "Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved."Les Brown said - “Remember, you have the power to change your life by changing your choices."Choices are powerful. And there’s one choice that’s more powerful than the rest. In today’s episode, I’m explaining one choice that can literally change everything for you. It’s really as much of a mindset shift as it is a simple choice. Once you begin to think differently and see certain choices differently, you’ll start to make different choices. And those new choices will lead to new results. It might seem hard or feel scary, but it will be more than worth it. Crank up the volume, grab a cup of coffee, and let’s do it! JOIN COREY’s EMAIL FAMILY: https://LoseFatList.comContact Corey: support@CoreyLittleCoaching.com

It might be time to really think about what you’ve typically done in the past and what you want for your future. There’s a famous quote that says - "Most people overestimate what they can do in a year and underestimate what they can do in ten years"After 20+ years of coaching people, I've developed my own version of this quote . . .  "We overestimate what we can do in a month and vastly underestimate what we can do in a year." We live in a super fast world. Unfortunately that’s led to most of us being pretty impatient.When you're living in a body that doesn't FEEL good ...Or your body doesn't LOOK how you want ... Or your health is suffering ... Then we’re really not patient!  We want to fix it now! Give me a 4 week program to knock this out.   I get it. I'm not necessarily a shining example of patience myself. However, when it comes to losing weight, keeping it off, and creating the life and health you really want … that takes longer than one month.In today’s episode, we’re talking about true weight loss transformation - what it looks like, sounds like, and a realistic timeline. JOIN COREY’s EMAIL FAMILY: https://LoseFatList.comContact Corey: support@CoreyLittleCoaching.com

“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” We must all be insane, because this is exactly what we do. When it comes to losing weight, I see people keep trying the same crap over and over even though it’s never worked for them before.This episode was inspired by one of my clients who noticed a certain pattern of thinking that goes like this . . . “I should just go ahead and finish this ‘bad food’ so I don’t eat it later.” “Might as well finish all of this, then it will be gone and I won’t be tempted.”That’s just one example of the stuff that doesn’t work (and honestly doesn’t even make sense), but we just keep doing it … hoping for a different outcome. I guarantee this episode will either make you nod, make you mad, or make you rethink things! JOIN COREY’s EMAIL FAMILY: https://LoseFatList.comWant to know how coaching works?Contact Corey: support@CoreyLittleCoaching.com
