We're diving into the most doable, sustainable weight loss strategies. This podcast is all about busy moms, dads, husbands, wives who are working, raising kids, and trying to juggle everything life’s throwing at them … but also want to be the best they can for their family and friends and loved ones. I’m your host Corey Little, a nutritionist and weight loss specialist with 2 degrees, 3 certifications, and 20 years of experience. I've been a champion bodybuilder with 3% body-fat and I’ve also pigged out at all-you-can-eat buffets and have a deep love of food and enjoying life like crazy! So, I’m not some Nutrition Robot or extremist. I’m a real person just like you who loves the good things in life - friends, family, and all the delicious food that comes with it. So, make no mistake - this podcast is NOT about how to get six-pack abs or how to drop as much weight as possible in 8 weeks.

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: What the “deserve it” mentality really is (and why it’s so common) How “deserve it” shows up during both success and stress Why earning food through exercise, dieting, or emotional suffering backfires Why “deserve” vs “don’t deserve” is a trap either way What it looks like to move from a deserve-it mindset to a freedom mindset WHO THIS EPISODE IS FOR: Anyone who eats “because they deserve it” — for good days or bad ones People who feel stuck in cycles of reward, guilt, and restarting Those who use food to cope with stress, overwhelm, or emotions Anyone working to rebuild a healthier relationship with food 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.
