The Stop. Dieting. Forever. Podcast with Jennifer Dent Brown

Is your dieter's mindset keeping you overweight?

Good question, right? Think about it—have all those diet rules actually helped you reach your forever weight? If you're here, chances are they haven’t.

I get it. And that’s exactly why I created the Stop. Dieting. Forever. podcast.

This isn’t just about weight loss—it’s about reinvention. The version of you that keeps the weight off for good doesn’t follow diet rules. She thinks differently. She acts differently. And that’s what I’ll help you do.

Each week, I’ll show you how to break free from the dieter’s mindset, rewire your habits, and step into your future self—the healthy, confident woman you crave to become.

EP 234. Self-Sabotage & Weight Loss: How to Stop Fighting Against Yourself

Why do you keep doing the opposite of what you say you want? You plan to eat healthy, then find yourself elbow-deep in tortilla chips.
