Cathy tried fourteen diets over 66 years of her life. She knew how to lose weight - she had done it many times. But she could never keep it off.

At seventy seven years old, something finally shifted. Not because she found a stricter plan or a better set of rules (she was already plant based). Because she stopped following her brain and started listening to her body.

In this episode Kerryn talks with Cathy about the childhood patterns that started it all - an Italian mother who showed love through food and an English father who wanted her to lose weight - and the decades of restriction, rebellion and restarting that followed.

And about what actually changed. The moment Cathy discovered what true hunger felt like. What comfortably satisfied felt like. And how tuning inward - rather than tuning outwards (following external rules) - became the thing that made the difference.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• How childhood food messages created sixty six years of dieting patterns
• The restriction-rebellion cycle and why it always ends the same way
• Why knowing how to lose weight was never the problem
• What body-led eating actually feels like in practice
• How Cathy learned to trust her body’s signals - even around foods she thought she could never resist
• Why at seventy seven she knows this time the weight is gone for good
