EP 234. Self-Sabotage & Weight Loss: How to Stop Fighting Against Yourself

Stop. Dieting. Forever. with Jennifer Dent Brown, Health + Life Coach for Women

Why do you keep doing the opposite of what you say you want? You plan to eat healthy, then find yourself elbow-deep in tortilla chips. You lose a few pounds, then suddenly “forget” to meal prep. You’re not lazy, undisciplined, or broken—your brain is just clinging to an identity that no longer serves you. In this episode, I’m breaking down why self-sabotage isn’t really sabotage—it’s just your identity fighting to stay the same. If you don’t shift who you believe you are, you’ll keep sabotaging yourself, no matter how many diets you try. So, if you’re stuck in the same cycle of losing and regaining weight, press play, and let’s get to the root of it. What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why self-sabotage is an identity crisis—not a willpower problem
• The sneaky ways fear of change keeps you stuck in old patterns
• How diet culture shaped your “health identity” (without you realizing it)
• 4 powerful steps to shift your identity and stop sabotaging your weight loss
• Why the key to losing weight for good has nothing to do with food
