Episode description

Spoiler alert: What I’m talking about today could radically change your mindset and make your weight loss journey significantly easier.

 

This episode is all about a psychological phenomenon known as moral licensing, and even if you’ve heard me talk about it before, you’re going to want to give this one a listen. Why? Well, chances are you’ve experienced the effects of moral licensing before without even realizing it... freaky, right? But you CAN overcome it, and in this episode, I’ll share my strategies for combating this impulse when it rears its ugly head so you can STOP self-sabotaging.

 

If you’re a note-taker, definitely grab a pen and a notebook before hitting the play button – I have a feeling you’re going to want to reference some of what I’m talking about later.

 

In this episode, I cover:

 

Defining moral licensing [3:40]

 

The ways in which moral licensing can sabotage your weight loss efforts [3:51]

 

How moral licensing can sneak its way into your home life [9:55]

 

Combatting moral licensing by *not* taking your foot off the gas when you notice progress [11:00]

 

Understanding that we don’t earn the ability or right to take “bad” action by taking “good” action [13:55]

 

Staying mindful of the potential of succumbing to moral licensing when presented with a choice [16:50]

 

Remaining committed to your health and wellness journey – beyond your appearance and physical results [18:20]
