Summary
In this episode, Maggie and Ryan explore the common habit of using food as a reward and why it backfires. They discuss how the mindset of "I've been good, so I deserve a treat" actually translates to "I've done well not overeating, so I deserve to overeat." Through personal examples, they explain why discomfort is a necessary part of changing eating habits and why quick fixes don't lead to lasting change. The hosts share practical insights about building a healthier relationship with food without giving up the foods you enjoy.

| 0:43.2 | some of my one-to-one clients, um, posts in Facebook group, and in my coaching Facebook |
| 0:48.5 | group, where we just do this thing where we're just like, I've been so good, I deserve a treat. |
