Struggling with sticking to a diet or always “falling off the wagon”? You’re not alone. Most diets fail because they don’t teach us how to handle urges—the cravings and thought errors that push us to eat off plan.

In this episode of the Healthy Living Series, I break down three key steps to lasting weight loss:

1. Plan what you eat.

2. Plan when you eat.

3. Learn how to allow urges without giving in.

You’ll discover:

• Why willpower and calorie cutting don’t work long-term

• How urges are just feelings—and how to manage them without food

• A practical tool called the “urge jar” to retrain your brain

• Why allowing urges feels hard at first, but gets easier with practice

• How planning your meals in advance creates freedom, not restriction

• The mindset shift that stops emotional eating and overeating for good

If you’re a busy mom or career-driven woman tired of starting over every Monday, this episode will show you a new way forward. A lifestyle rooted in science, compassion, and long-term results.
