EPISODE 129: From 20 Years of Dieting to "Food Is Boring Now"

Why does discipline seem to work everywhere else in your life except with dieting? Why do you white-knuckle a diet for months, then binge on the one thing you "weren't allowed" to have? Why does getting "back on track" never actually stick?

Agne asked herself those exact questions for 20 years. Cabbage soup diets, keto, six-day CrossFit weeks, a coach who told her maybe her body was just built to stay stuck.

She joined Outsmart Overeating in 2023 and shared her story on the podcast in fall 2024. Listen to that episode here.

Now she's back, two years later, with the real answer: the food rules were never the problem. Her thinking was.

This episode breaks down exactly what changed and how, so you can start applying it today:

Why you can't diet your way out of a mindset problem
How rigid, perfectionistic rules create the exact bingeing they're meant to prevent
What it actually looks like to loosen your grip on control without your life falling apart
Why needing support again after progress isn't failure (and what to do when it happens)

If you're tired of "getting back on track," start here.
