Episode Description

So where do you go from here?

This series may be ending, but the work of changing your relationship with food noise is something you continue to practice.

In this episode, I wrap up the series by talking about what comes next. The goal was never to eliminate every thought and feeling you have around food. It was to become more comfortable sitting with those thoughts, understanding them, deciding which ones need your attention, and learning how to respond in a way that works better for you.

Some thoughts you may be able to let go. Some may need to be processed. Some may need to be redirected into something else.

That takes practice.

And a lot of what we have talked about throughout this series goes far beyond food noise.

Self trust, consistency, body image, discipline, emotional awareness, patience, and learning how to navigate your own thoughts are all part of building a forever active lifestyle.

That is why this conversation does not really stop just because this particular series does.

I also talk about where you can continue exploring these ideas across the other Your Level Fitness podcasts.

How to Make Your Fitness Journey a Lifestyle takes many of these same underlying principles and applies them more broadly to fitness, eating, consistency, and building something sustainable.

Love the Body You Have goes deeper into how you feel about what and who you see in the mirror, including the insecurities that are often reinforced by fitness and weight loss marketing.

The Daryl Perry Podcast takes a wider look at the mindset, personal development, and life experiences that shape the way I approach all of this.

If you are listening to the dedicated How to Get the Upper Hand on Food Noise feed, this is the final episode of this finite series.

If you are listening through the Food Noise Podcast, I may return when there is something genuinely new in the conversation that is worth unpacking. But I do not want to keep filling the feed with repetitive episodes just for the sake of continuing it.

You now have the framework.

Keep practicing. Keep observing. Keep journaling. Keep learning how to trust yourself.

The goal was never to finish this perfectly.

The goal was to give yourself a better way to navigate it for the rest of your life.

Episode Description

How do you know when your relationship with food is actually changing?

You may not wake up one day and suddenly feel completely different. A lot of the progress you make with food noise is going to be much more subtle than that.

In this episode, I talk about what progress can actually look like when you are working to get the upper hand on your thoughts and feelings around food.

You may notice that you feel more at ease with yourself. You may feel more comfortable with the decisions you make before, during, and after eating. Thoughts that once created immediate anxiety, guilt, or shame may still show up, but you may start responding to them differently.

That is progress.

The goal is not to completely eliminate every thought or feeling around food. Some of those thoughts are useful cues. They can tell you when you are hungry, what sounds good, or what your body may need.

What we are really working toward is a stronger connection with yourself and more trust in your ability to navigate what comes up.

I also want you to revisit the picture you have in your head of what getting the upper hand on food noise looks like.

Has it changed since you started this process?

Maybe you originally imagined a life where food noise disappeared completely. Now you may be starting to see that the better outcome is becoming more equipped to experience those thoughts without immediately needing to escape them.

Over the weeks and months, you may start noticing less guilt, less shame, more confidence, and a greater ability to move forward after the choices you make.

Some days you may feel like you have everything under control. Other days something may catch you completely off guard.

That does not erase your progress.

You deal with what is in front of you as best you can, dust yourself off, and keep going.

You are not waiting until you are perfect to say this is working.

You are learning how to trust yourself more than you did before.

Episode Description

What if you did not have to wait for proof before deciding to trust yourself?

In this episode, I talk about one of the biggest mindset shifts in getting the upper hand on food noise, choosing to trust yourself before you have all the evidence that you can.

A lot of us are taught that change works in a very specific order. Take the action first, collect enough evidence, and eventually you will feel confident, capable, or like you finally belong.

But that does not always happen.

You can take action over and over again and still feel like a fraud. You can continue doing the right things and still question whether you are capable of navigating the process.

I want you to consider reversing that order.

Make the decision first.

Decide that you are someone who will figure this out. Decide that you are capable of navigating your thoughts and feelings around food. Decide that when you do not know what to do next, you will learn, adjust, and keep moving.

Then let your thoughts and actions reinforce that decision.

This does not mean pretending you have all the answers. It does not mean you will never fall into an old thought loop or make a choice that feels familiar. Those patterns will still show up.

The difference is that you are no longer using every difficult moment as evidence against yourself.

You can redirect.

You can change your thoughts. You can change your actions. You can move back toward the direction you have already chosen for yourself.

Self trust is not something you have to earn perfectly before you are allowed to use it. It is something you can begin practicing now.

The more you reinforce that decision, the more comfortable and confident you can become in your ability to navigate food noise without needing every thought or feeling around food to disappear.
