And I'd love to hear from you!

In this episode of Body Like You, I'm teaching one of the simplest and most powerful brain tools I know: obstacle prediction. It's something I use in my own eating and work on with every client, and it's the difference between white-knuckling your way through the week and calmly solving food problems before they ever happen.

I start with why perfectionism is such a miscalculation with food, and why eating well and fat loss have far more to do with caretaking than achieving. Then I walk through obstacle prediction itself: how to run the tape forward and use your rational brain before you're hungry, tired, and emotional. I break down the three categories of obstacles I see get in people's way over and over: your own thoughts and emotions (including the fear of fat gain), logistical obstacles, and people pleasing.

If you struggle with emotional eating, nighttime overeating, perfectionism, all-or-nothing thinking, or staying on track with fat loss when life gets busy, this episode will help you stop being ambushed by the same obstacles and start solving them in advance, without shame.

Next week we'll cover the flip side of this tool: debriefing.

Happy eating!

And I'd love to hear from you!

If you've ever gone all-in on a diet, nailed it for two weeks, then quit the second you slipped, this episode explains why.

I tell the story of the engineering weed-out class that nearly broke me (and kicked off a five-year emotional eating habit) and use it to unpack the real reason perfectionists struggle with fat loss: you can't tolerate being a beginner. All-or-nothing thinking, the need to make an "A" on every attempt, and the shame that lands the moment you're not perfect are exactly what trap you in the start-over cycle.

I'll show you why self-compassion is the missing skill that makes weight loss actually stick, and why letting yourself be a "C student" with food might be the kindest, most effective thing you ever do for your body.

This one's for anyone who's successful everywhere except their relationship with food and the way they feel in their body.

In this episode of Body Like You, I’m talking about what I call radical responsibility for feeding yourself: the decision to stop letting busy schedules, restaurants, family preferences, social pressure, and last-minute hunger make your food choices for you.

I share how failing to plan my meals once left me relying on drive-throughs and restaurant food multiple times a day, and how learning to think about food in advance helped me lose 80 pounds of body fat and maintain that loss.

You’ll learn six practical principles for taking greater ownership of your nutrition, including packing simple meals when you leave home, speaking up at restaurants, navigating other people’s opinions, and learning from imperfect eating decisions without shame or blame.

This isn’t about perfect meal prep, rigid dieting, or never eating for pleasure. It’s about building self-trust, planning for predictable hunger, and treating feeding yourself as an essential form of body care.

If you struggle with yo-yo dieting, emotional eating, inconsistent meal planning, frequent takeout, or staying on track with your fat loss goals when life gets busy, this episode will help you stop feeling powerless and start creating a nutrition routine that works in real life.

And I'd love to hear from you!

In this episode of Body Like You, Aimee talks about the emotional tension around calories, clean eating, and fat loss. Many people come to fat loss after years of trying to eat perfectly, avoid the wrong foods, and work harder in the gym, only to feel stuck, ashamed, and more confused than ever.

Aimee explores why clean eating can feel emotionally comforting, especially when body shame is present, and why hearing that fat loss comes down to energy balance can feel like an accusation, even when it isn’t one. She breaks down how nutrition misinformation, food rules, body dissatisfaction, and shame can keep people spinning their wheels instead of making meaningful progress.

This episode is for anyone who has tried to lose fat by eating clean, cutting out foods, chasing the latest wellness advice, or trying to purify their diet, while still feeling like their body won’t change.

You’ll learn why calories matter for fat loss, why your love of delicious food is not a character flaw, and how a more compassionate approach can help you stop fighting your body and start working with reality.

Why do “easy” healthy habits sometimes feel so hard?

In this episode, we’re breaking down one of the most common limiting beliefs in sustainable fat loss and behavior change: “It shouldn’t be this hard.” Whether you’re trying to go for a daily walk, cook more meals at home, go to bed earlier, eat more protein, cut back on alcohol, or stop nighttime snacking, your brain may resist even the simplest changes.

This episode explores why small, realistic habits can feel harder than extreme diets. You’ll learn how your brain prioritizes immediate comfort over long-term rewards, why temporal discounting makes behavior change so challenging, and how shame and self-criticism can lead to self-sabotage before you’ve even had a chance to succeed.

Instead of assuming something is wrong with you when a simple habit feels difficult, you’ll learn how to let the easy thing be hard without making it mean anything about your discipline, willpower, or worth.

If you’re working on sustainable weight loss, healthy eating, long-term fat loss maintenance, emotional eating, habit formation, or building a healthier relationship with your body, this episode will help you understand why change feels hard—and why that doesn’t mean you’re failing.

What if exercising to burn calories is actually keeping you stuck?

In this episode of Body Like You, we’re rethinking fat loss, calorie burn, exercise, and mindset. If you’ve ever started a workout plan hoping it would finally make fat loss happen faster, this conversation will help you understand why exercise alone is a terrible way to lose body fat and why chasing calories burned can damage your relationship with your body.

You’ll learn why fat loss ultimately depends on energy balance and a calorie deficit, but also why the advice to “eat less and move more” is far too simplistic. We’ll talk about total daily energy expenditure, why exercise only makes up a small percentage of daily calorie burn, and how your metabolism adapts when you increase activity.

Most importantly, this episode explores the mindset trap of treating exercise as a transaction: “I worked out, so I earned food,” or “I burned calories, so my body owes me weight loss.” That approach often leads to frustration, body resentment, overexercise, and giving up.

You'll hear how to separate exercise from punishment, calorie debt, and body dissatisfaction and begin seeing movement as a way to build strength, vitality, body trust, and positive body image.

Have you ever looked at someone who seems to eat whatever they want, stay effortlessly thin, and thought, “It’s so unfair”?

In this episode, I unpack the painful comparison loop that happens when your body, weight, or relationship with food feels harder than everyone else’s.

I also look at what research suggests about people who appear to stay thin without effort, and why the story your brain tells about them may not be the full truth.

PMID: 35839758.

You’ll learn how to notice body comparison, send compassion to yourself, and move out of resentment and into a more grounded, caring relationship with your body and food.

Topics covered: body image, weight loss, yo-yo dieting, food struggles, fatphobia, self-compassion, thin privilege, body comparison, emotional eating, diet mindset, metabolism myths, and compassionate health behavior change.
