Summary

In this episode, Maggie and Ryan discuss the common excuses and questions people ask themselves when justifying overeating, such as "Who cares?" and "Does it even matter?" They explore how these thoughts, often disguised as rhetorical questions, can lead to a cycle of overeating and disappointment. Maggie emphasizes the importance of being honest with yourself and acknowledging that if you're constantly struggling with these thoughts, then it does matter. She provides strategies for breaking the pattern, including setting reminders, bringing awareness to your habits, and challenging the lies you tell yourself. Ultimately, the key to overcoming overeating is recognizing that these small moments of justification can have a significant impact on your mental health, self-trust, and weight loss goals.
