The guilt would hit. The shame would hit. And Monday would roll around and I’d start all over again.In today’s episode, I’m sharing exactly how I stopped that cycle.How I went from obsessing over food all day, constantly thinking about my next meal, battling food noise and feeling like I had no willpower… to eating in a way that feels calm, balanced and intuitive.We’re talking about:• Why restriction is the real trigger for bingeing• The biggest shift I made that quietened food noise• How I started eating enough without spiralling• Including the foods I love instead of fearing them• What intuitive eating actually looked like for me• The mindset work that helped me rebuild trust with my bodyThis isn’t about pretending food doesn’t matter.

Jan 2600:11:37Tap to summarizeEver notice how you’re so on track Monday to Friday… and then Friday night hits and suddenly it all unravels? The takeaway order. The “I’ll start again Monday” mindset. The guilt spiral that follows.In this episode, we’re talking about why so many diets die on Friday night — and no, it’s not because you lack willpower or discipline. It’s because the way most people approach weight loss was never designed to work with real life, social plans, stress, or enjoyment.We’ll unpack what’s actually happening mentally and physically by the end of the week, why restriction makes weekends feel out of control, and how to stop swinging between being “good” all week and feeling off-track by Sunday.More importantly, I’ll share how to build an approach to food and fitness that includes weekends — so you can enjoy dinners out, drinks with friends, and slow mornings without feeling like you’ve ruined everything.If you’re tired of starting over every Monday and want weight loss to finally feel calm, flexible, and sustainable… this one’s for you.Don’t forget to like, share, and send this episode to a friend who always says “I’ll be good again next week.”1:1 Coaching Application www.britmccrystalfit.com Instagram & tiktok: @brittanymccrystal FREE calorie calculator

Dec 2200:12:01Tap to summarizeHow to write goals for the new year and actually stick to themAs the year slows down and the noise gets louder around food, goals and “new year, new me” energy, I wanted to create an episode that feels like a deep exhale.In today’s episode, we’re talking about how to step into 2026 feeling calm, clear and intentional not burnt out, restricted or already behind.We chat about letting go of the end of year food guilt, why Christmas is not the time to micromanage your plate, and how enjoying your life is not the thing that ruins your progress.
