351 // Why You Keep Starting Over With Weight Loss (And How to Finally Stop)

In this Health, Wellth & Wisdom Podcast episode, host and Nutrition Coach, Nicole Hagen explores why all-or-nothing thinking keeps so many women stuck in cycles of starting over, and how to break that pattern in a way that supports sustainable weight loss.

Throughout this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why all-or-nothing thinking is a common default when it comes to food and weight loss

  • How the cycle keeps you from building consistency

  • Why one imperfect meal or day doesn’t undo your progress

  • How perfectionism and black-and-white thinking make sustainable change harder

  • Practical ways to interrupt the “start over” mindset and shift toward more consistent decision-making, and 

  • Simple strategies to help you navigate busy, imperfect days without spiraling

If you find yourself constantly “starting over,” feeling like you’ve failed after things don’t go as planned, or struggling to stay consistent unless everything is perfect, this episode will help you understand why, and show you how to create progress without relying on perfection.

A Nutrition Coach, adoptive mom, dog mom, and mint chocolate chip ice cream lover.

I didn’t always have this business: the Masters degree in Nutrition Science and Public Health, the passion, the clients... in fact, years ago you could have found me endlessly counting calories and trying to find my worth on the scale and at spin class, exhausted in my pursuit of (what I thought was) health and happiness.

In my early twenties, I struggled with crash dieting and disordered eating. Little did I know, those circumstances would be my one-way ticket out of my restrictive relationship with food & fitness. Those experiences led me here: to the life-giving, sustainable, habit-based nutrition philosophy I embody today. Today you can find me living life without a calorie counting app and spending time with my husband, one year old son, and our two crazy golden retriever pups.

I enjoy spending my free time reading, sipping on matcha lattes, and dreaming of ways I can help other women create healthy, confident relationships with food without selling their souls to food rules and calorie counting apps.

Because nothing lights me up more than helping women live full and vibrant lives without food fear, rules, or restriction. I want to be that permission granter in your life that whispers: “you really can do this” while the rest of the world continues to settle for short-term satisfaction.
