EPISODE 26: Therapist Reveals Her History With an Eating Disorder and the Unique Process That Ended It All

EPISODE 26: Therapist Reveals Her History With an Eating Disorder and the Unique Process That Ended It All

ANNOUNCEMENT: Are you a Burned Out Dieter Who's Struggling to Stay on Track? Join me and Coach Steph on our FREE LIVE TRAINING as we share how to achieve Lifelong Weight Loss through psychology, NOT restrictive dieting or willpower. You can snag all the details when you register HERE.

As Nicolette was entering her 20's, she started developing an eating disorder. She eventually found a therapist, and at first her progress was significant. But slowly, over time, she noticed that she was still thinking about food in an obsessive and controlling way.

It wasn't as obvious as before, but the subtle behaviors -- like trying to eat 'clean' and stick to her macros -- still felt like they were consuming too much of her mental bandwidth.

This week, I'm excited to share the story of past client, Nicolette Tomaszewski. At 37 years-old, Nicolette is now a therapist, who has recently undergone one of the most transformative eating experiences of her life.


In this episode, Nicolette gets real by getting vulnerable. Some of the topics discussed:

  • She reveals the unconventional process that changed everything and how it turned out to be EXACTLY what she needed to break-free from the cycle of dysfunctional dieting for good.

  • She shares why therapy didn't give her all the tools she needed to stop the weight loss obsession (and what has actually worked)

  • How this going through this life-changing process has impacted the way she counsels her own clients in therapy in a way that's compassionate, yet goal-supporting

  • How breaking up with dieting has opened up more ways for her to live a rich, rewarding life while maintaining a healthy, fit body in a way that feels easy and effortless.


If you're a burned out dieter who's feeling frustrated and hopeless, be sure to give this episode a listen. Dieting challenges usually get worse with time, not better. Do your future-self a favor and take action now.
