215. Avoiding the All-or-Nothing Holiday Trap

Nov 28, 2025

How to stop the “I’ll start over in January” cycle and build real self-trust around food this holiday season.

The holidays aren’t the problem — all-or-nothing thinking is.
If you’ve ever said “I already blew it,” “I’ll fix it tomorrow,” or “I’ll just start over in January,” this episode will change everything.

Kara breaks down the exact cycle that keeps women stuck during the holidays: overeating → guilt → giving up → starting over later. And more importantly, she teaches how to step out of that pattern using self-trust, curiosity, and a simple four-step reset that works every single time.

This isn’t about perfection.
It’s about learning how to be present, intentional, and kind to yourself even when things don’t go exactly as planned — because THAT is how sustainable weight loss happens.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

What all-or-nothing thinking actually looks like
Why your brain loves “I’ll start over tomorrow”
The brilliant “rent is still due” analogy
What the grey area of eating really looks like
How to pause after overeating (without spiraling)
A simple 4-step reset to get back on track instantly
Real-life holiday examples: cookie exchanges, potlucks, Christmas Eve dinner
The identity of a woman who loses weight sustainably

This episode will help you stay grounded this season and stop the start-over cycle for good.
