EPISODE 140: Overeating to Be Polite Is Costing You More Than Calories

You can track every bite and still overeat most nights. Here's one sneaky reason why.

A listener's partner cooks late, after she's already eaten, so she has a small plate anyway to say thank you. I asked what would happen if she said no. Her answer: "He literally would not care."

So she'd been eating a bonus dinner most nights to protect feelings that weren't even there. How romantic.

Food is how we say "I love you," so turning it down feels like rejection. And if you learned early that being agreeable gets approval, yes feels safer. But most of the pressure to eat is coming from you.

In this episode, you'll hear:

The 4 questions I asked her (#3 is the one that stings)
The new problem that came up when she finally said no
What you might secretly be getting out of saying yes
Exact phrases you can start using TODAY, before the holiday food pushers arrive
How to handle the relative who won't drop it (kind and snarky versions)

Join the Sleigh Holiday Overeating Interest List so you can walk into every party with a plan, enjoy your favorites, and leave feeling in control. Doors temporarily open for new clients November 16th through 19th.
