## Resource

In this episode, I share the five do's and five don'ts for what to do when the weight starts creeping back on. Because gaining a few pounds doesn't mean you've failed. But panicking and punishing yourself and trying to "get back to being good" can send you spiraling right back up the scale. Maybe the weight snuck up over the summer or crept in during a stressful season. Either way, this episode will help you stop the spiral and reconnect with your inner coach so you can get back on your weight mastery path without guilt, drama, or signing your life over to lettuce. Come on in! Join my FREE Weight Release Hypnosis Masterclass In This Episode, You'll Also Learn… Why beating yourself up when the scale goes up actually leads to more eating, and the self-forgiveness practice that reconnects you with yourself instead. The trap of trying to "get back to being good" and why super restriction quietly wakes up your inner rebel every time. How to get back on the scale in loving scientist mode so you can use real data instead of fear to plan your next steps.
