Ep #91: Tackling Overeating & Sweet Urges w/ Eric Severson

Weight Loss Doesn't Have to Suck

This week’s podcast is extra special because my guest is none other than my husband, Eric Severson. After 14 years together, he’s seen every phase of my weight loss journey—from failed restrictive diet after failed restrictive diet, and ultimately to the discovery of restriction-free weight loss that changed both our lives for good. In this candid conversation, Eric and I reflect on our history with dieting - why it never worked for us, and how shifting to a sustainable, restriction-free approach brought the lasting results we’d been searching for. Plus, Eric shares his own weight loss journey—with me as his informal coach! At just 5 pounds away from his wedding-day weight, he’s living proof that you can enjoy food, ditch diet mentality, and still reach your goals.

We dive into what caused his weight struggles in the past—like being raised to always clean his plate, my love of cooking (and filling our house with delicious food), and the diet mentality that kept him stuck. Eric breaks down the mindset and habits that are helping him succeed now, and there’s even a moment where I coach him live around unhelpful thoughts about having sweets in the house. Whether you’re looking for practical weight loss advice, inspiration for your own journey, or just a fun and honest chat, this episode has something for everyone. It’s the perfect way to kick off the new year and start creating your own restriction-free success story!
