What happens when you’ve spent your whole life thinking about food and your weight from the moment you wake up to the moment you go to bed… and suddenly your mind feels calm for the first time ever?

In today’s Client Confessional, Heidi (now in her mid-60s) opens up about a lifetime of struggling with her weight, binge eating, food noise, and the constant mental chatter that dictated her every day. From Weight Watchers at 14, to lap-band surgery, to Overeaters Anonymous, to GLP-1 medications… she tried everything hoping something would finally “fix” her.

But nothing touched the emotional and psychological roots keeping her stuck.

And after decades of failures, she genuinely believed she was “too far gone” to change.

Inside this episode, Heidi shares:

• What it’s like to live a double life with food for over half a century
• The moment she realized weight loss strategies weren’t the issue—the emotional patterns were
• Why she joined Nourished & Free even though she was convinced it wouldn’t work
• The mindset shift that finally stopped her daily convenience-store binges
• How a GLP-1 helped her, and where it fell short.
• What healing looks like in your 60s, and why it’s never too late to rewrite your story

If your life revolves around food, if you feel stuck in cycles you can’t break, or if you’re scared that you’ve “tried everything,” this episode is the reminder you need: peace is possible at any age, you might just need to dig into your head a little more.
