244. When Logic Fails

I used to be obsessed with perfecting my eating habits—researching, counting calories, and gathering endless information, thinking I could outsmart my own tendencies. But despite all that knowledge, I found myself stuck in the same cycle: knowing what to do but struggling to follow through. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

The truth is, our intellect is just one part of the equation. We often think more knowledge will lead to better choices, but what really drives us to overeat are underlying emotions—stress, boredom, or a desire for pleasure. These feelings hijack our decisions, leading us to eat when we’re not hungry.

This week, we explore why logic alone isn’t enough to change eating habits and how to balance emotions with intellect. You’ll learn practical strategies to manage these emotions and finally align your actions with what’s best for your body. Tune in to discover a more peaceful, balanced approach to eating.
