For years, Summer didn’t even consider her dieting to be a “problem”. How could it be? A self proclaimed “good girl’ - she was convinced clean eating and weight loss were good girl things to do. Her takeaway when diets failed her? SHE was the problem. Coming from a family of generational dieters, and eager to do whatever it took to get dieting “right", Summer eventually wound up in a scary, restrictive on-and-off dieting pattern. 

Today, Summer speaks about her experiences with chronic dieting recovery, including insights from her 1:1 coaching work with Melissa inside the No More Guilt Coaching program. This episode will help you:

• make meaning of the sadly, all-too-common generational diet trauma experience of dieting with your Mother as a teen


• unpack how magazines like “Seventeen” and “Shape” normalized disordered body ideals and dieting practices


• explore why so many people say "it's not that bad" about their disordered eating (as Summer shares the scary dieting moment that ultimately brought her to Intuitive Eating)


• figure out the difference between true Intuitive Eating and just “tricking yourself” you are doing it (but actually you are still dieting)

You will love Summer's simple tips on what she did to finally stop snapping back into diet culture in a never ending spiral, and learn what she loves most about her newfound food freedom, just 7 months after starting her work with Melissa inside the No More Guilt Coaching program.
