There are a handful of ideas I’m seeing everywhere right now — on social media, in ads, and in the weight loss space — and honestly, they’re driving me a little crazy.

Why? Because they’re oversimplified, misleading, and quietly setting people up to fail.

In this episode, I break down five things that sound convincing on the surface, but often do more harm than good when it comes to weight loss, health, and long-term success.

This isn’t about trends or hot takes.

It’s about learning how to think more clearly in a world that rewards extremes, shortcuts, and unrealistic expectations.

If you’ve ever felt confused, discouraged, or pulled in ten different directions when it comes to fitness and nutrition — this episode will help you recalibrate.

This episode is for . . .

>> Anyone tired of conflicting advice about weight loss

>> People who feel overwhelmed by fitness trends and extremes

>> Those who want sustainable results — not shortcuts

>> People who value clarity, honesty, and long-term thinking

>> Anyone ready to stop chasing hype and start thinking critically

Here's what we'll cover . . .

1. Why absolute, black-and-white claims should always raise a red flag
2. How underqualified coaches create more confusion than clarity
3. Why trying to fix internal struggles with external “solutions” rarely works
4. The real problem with short-term challenges for long-term weight loss
5. How unrealistic body ideals distort what “success” even means anymore
6. GLP-1 medications, peptides, and why they can’t do the work for you
7. Why “It depends” is often the most honest and correct answer
8. How social media has warped our expectations of healthy bodies
9. The difference between being good at social media and being good at coaching

This episode reflects how I approach coaching — not with absolutes, gimmicks, or shortcuts, but with nuance, real-world application, and keeping the long game in mind.

Have you ever noticed how easy it can be to find a reason to eat?

A great day.

A hard day.

Stress.

Celebration.

Exhaustion.

In this episode, we explore emotional eating, stress eating, and what I call the “deserve it” mentality. Whether we realize it or not, this is quietly undermining our relationship with food and long-term results

Using real client examples, we explore how the same mindset shows up whether you’re celebrating success or struggling with stress … and why both lead to the same outcome when food becomes the reward, relief, or escape.

This episode isn’t about restriction or shame.

It’s about awareness, honesty, and choosing a better framework — one that supports real freedom instead of keeping you stuck in cycles of reward, guilt, and restarting.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:

1. What the “deserve it” mentality really is (and why it’s so common)
2. How “deserve it” shows up during both success and stress
3. Why earning food through exercise, dieting, or emotional suffering backfires
4. Why “deserve” vs “don’t deserve” is a trap either way
5. What it looks like to move from a deserve-it mindset to a freedom mindset

WHO THIS EPISODE IS FOR:

1. Anyone who eats “because they deserve it” — for good days or bad ones
2. People who feel stuck in cycles of reward, guilt, and restarting
3. Those who use food to cope with stress, overwhelm, or emotions
4. Anyone working to rebuild a healthier relationship with food
5. Those who want freedom, not food rules

This is the kind of work I do with my clients — learning how to unlink food and emotions, break unhelpful patterns, and build a healthier, more honest relationship with food.

Over the last few episodes, we talked about why dieting stops working, how people outgrow the all-or-nothing approach, and what sustainable change actually looks like in real life.

In a nutshell, we discussed Rebuilding vs Restarting.

In this episode, we zoom out.

Because rebuilding isn’t a phase or a series we’re “done” with — it’s the foundation underneath everything else.

You’ll learn how the Rebuilder mindset changes the way you approach food, habits, mindset, and consistency… and how this lens carries forward into everything we talk about next and everything you do when it comes to losing weight.

What You’ll Learn

1. Why rebuilding isn’t something you move on from
2. How the Rebuilder lens changes “normal” nutrition and habit advice
3. Why calm, steady progress is a feature — not a flaw
4. How rebuilding supports real life instead of fighting it
5. What it means to stop restarting for good

We’ll also cover . . .

1. Why rebuilding mattered so much
2. What rebuilding is (and what it isn’t)
3. How rebuilding becomes your operating system
4. Applying rebuilding to food, habits, and mindset
5. Where coaching can fit in

This Episode Is For . . .

1. People done with extreme diets
2. Listeners who resonated with the Rebuilder series
3. Anyone who wants sustainable change without all-or-nothing
4. Those ready to apply rebuilding to everyday life

If you want to move from chronic Restarter to Rebuilder and you’d like some help building a structure that fits your real life, you can learn more about working together by emailing me at support@CoreyLittleCoaching.com

When you write, I'm NOT going to try to "sell you" on my program. That just never ends well (for you or me). We'll discuss things and see if this is a good fit for you. That's it. Simple and low stress.
