EPISODE 87: Why "Just One Piece" of Halloween Candy Always Turns Into Ten
Description
If you've ever promised yourself you'd "just have one" piece of Halloween candy—only to find yourself knee-deep in wrappers an hour later—this episode is for you.
In today's conversation, Steph and I are diving into why Halloween candy (and all "off-limits" foods) can feel so irresistible for chronic dieters—and what you can actually do to change that.
Spoiler: it's not about sugar addiction, it's about the scarcity mindset diet culture trained into your brain.
You'll learn how to:
- Break the all-or-nothing cycle that turns one bite into a binge
- Neutralize your relationship with "forbidden" foods so they lose their power
- Eat candy (or any food) with confidence, not guilt
- Practice self-trust instead of relying on willpower
- Reflect instead of spiral when you overeat
If you're tired of feeling out of control around sweets and want a calm, drama-free relationship with food—not just on Halloween, but year-round—this episode will show you exactly how to get there.
🎧 Tune in and learn how to enjoy the candy and keep your goals intact.
