Episode 40: Holiday Hunger Games: When Sugar Gets Loud and Old Habits Get Sneaky
Description
This episode felt like one big “okay… let’s get honest.” We’re heading into the holidays while juggling work chaos, winter moods, and the lovely little sugar voice that keeps trying to drag us back into old habits. Both of us admit we’ve slipped in different ways these past few months. Hannah talks about going a bit wild with sugar over the summer and trying to pull things back before Christmas hits. Steph opens up about hitting a plateau at the one-year mark and how frustrating it is when the scale just… stops.
We talk about how sneaky old patterns can be. How your brain tries to convince you that grabbing McDonald’s “just this once” is fine. How sugar slowly gets back into your thinking without you noticing. How the busiest season of the year also seems to be the easiest time for excuses to sound reasonable.
We get into the mental side of all of it. The weird inner voice. The food noise. The habits you thought you broke. And the part everyone forgets: this is a lifelong thing, not a one-year sprint.
If you’re feeling a bit off, or overwhelmed, or like your brain is trying to sell you on cookies every day, this episode will feel familiar. And at the end, we ask for your ideas for our last three episodes of the year, plus your questions for our listener episode.
