Why You Overeat at Night (And How to Stop) You’re not overeating at night because you have no willpower. In fact, what you’re doing at 9 p.m. may have very little to do with the food...and everything to do with what you’ve been doing to yourself all day. If you spend your day saying “I shouldn’t eat that,” restricting foods, negotiating with yourself, and trying to be “good,” your brain eventually gets tired of hearing NO. And that’s when the pantry starts looking really damn interesting. In this episode, we’re getting into why nighttime overeating happens, the connection between restriction and emotional eating, and why the answer isn’t another diet or more discipline. Because what if the real goal isn’t learning how to control yourself around food...but learning how to trust yourself? Press play. This one might change the way you look at that 9 p.m. cookie. If you’ve been listening to this episode and thinking, “I know I’m ready for something to change, but I can’t spend another year dieting, starting…

How to Eat During the Holidays Without Gaining the “Holiday 10” What if the reason you gain weight over the holidays has almost nothing to do with the holiday food? It’s not the cookies. It’s not Thanksgiving dinner. And it’s definitely not your grandmother’s pecan pie. It’s what happens before and after you eat it. In this episode, I’m breaking down the all-or-nothing thinking, restriction, “I’ll start again in January” mentality, and food drama that can turn one holiday meal into three weeks of overeating. And I’m going to show you how to enjoy the foods you actually love without turning December into one long “last supper.” Because food freedom isn’t about being “good.” It’s about being able to trust yourself in real life, in real time. And yes...you can eat the holiday food and still get the body you want. If you’ve been listening to this podcast and thinking, “I know I’m ready for something to change, but I don’t want to spend another year dieting, starting over, and fighting with my body,” I want to…

You Can Eat What You Want and Still Lose Weight What if the thing keeping you from losing weight isn’t what you’re eating...but the fact that you’ve spent years telling yourself you can’t eat it? In this episode, I’m challenging one of the biggest beliefs in dieting: that you need more restriction and more control to lose weight. Because if telling yourself “I can’t have that” actually makes you obsess over it, crave it harder, and eventually overeat it… maybe restriction isn’t the solution. We’re getting into food freedom, cravings, emotional eating, all-or-nothing thinking, and why self-trust matters more than another set of food rules. You’ll also learn why eating what you want does not mean eating everything in sight...and how giving yourself permission can actually change the way you eat. Because sustainable weight loss isn’t about becoming better at saying no. Sometimes, it’s learning how to say yes without abandoning yourself. If you’ve been listening to this podcast and thinking, “I know I’m ready…

In this episode of the Food Freedom Mindset series, Nicole Ternay explores the psychology behind social eating, food guilt, comparison, and the shame that can show up around your choices.

Nicole shares how to break the cycle of judgment and all-or-nothing thinking, become more present around food, and begin building a relationship with yourself that’s rooted in trust instead of control. If you’ve been listening to this podcast and thinking, “I know I’m ready for something to change, but I don’t want to spend another year dieting, starting over, and fighting with my body,” I want to invite you into something a little different. It’s called the Jumpstart Experience…a private 12-week experience where we work together to create real, sustainable change in your body, your habits, and the way you think…
