For 40 years, my mom tried everything to lose weight.
She counted, restricted, tracked, and restarted hundreds of times.
But nothing ever stuck.
Until now.
In this episode of Drop It, I sit down with my mom to reflect on 10 weeks of real coaching using the Common Sense Diet System—the same system that helped me lose 110 pounds and keep it off.
We cover:
✅ How she went from daily cravings and emotional eating… to more peace with food
✅ Why this is the first time ever she’s not hungry, obsessed, or feeling deprived
✅ How her blood pressure is now normal (first time in years)
✅ Why coaching—not more willpower—was the thing that finally saved her life
✅ The emotional shifts she made that changed everything
This isn’t a success story. It’s a freedom story.
If you’ve ever felt like nothing works for you, this episode is proof that it’s never too late—and that real change is possible when you stop dieting and start healing.

#079 - How I stopped eating my feelings.
Book your call with Nick: Click Here
I used to cope with everything by eating.
Stress? Food.
Fear? Food.
Loneliness, shame, boredom? Always food.
But that’s not who I am anymore. In this episode of Drop It, I walk you through exactly how I stopped emotionally eating—not just managing the tendency, but actually letting it go.
I share:
✅ The key shift that helped me stop numbing myself with food
✅ Why “just having willpower” isn’t the solution for emotional eating
✅ The exact steps I take to feel my feelings instead of feeding them
✅ Two near-death experiences that triggered deep emotional waves—and how I handled them without food
✅ How to stop seeing food as comfort and start trusting yourself to sit in discomfort
You don’t need to “cope better.”
You need to stop running from the emotion underneath the binge.
And that starts with giving yourself permission to feel.
