37: How to Trick Your Brain Into Wanting Healthy Habits
Manage episode 480781348 series 3620628
Most women trying to lose weight make the same mistake: they tie all their progress to the scale. But what if your lack of motivation isn’t a character flaw — but a brain pattern?
In this episode of How to Eat Cake on a Diet, Jody breaks down why your brain is wired to crave rewards — and how relying on the scale for validation is sabotaging your success. You’ll learn how to tap into the science of dopamine to create real, daily motivation… not 30 pounds from now, but right now.
We’ll walk through the most common habits — like walking, drinking water, eating protein, tracking your food — and show you how to connect them to immediate emotional wins. Plus, you’ll get a super simple daily practice that rewires your brain to love the process — not resent it.
If you’ve ever thought, “I’m doing everything right, so why does it still feel so hard?” — this episode is your answer.
