If you're already thinking about how to "fix" your eating in 2026, listen to this first.    This Q&A episode covers three of the biggest pressure points people hit at the end of December and the start of January:   Last Supper eating, diet-culture talk in fitness spaces, and the anger that can come from getting food gifts from friends in their own food dysfunction.   I'm answering these questions with a grounded, anti-diet lens that helps you stay out of the reset → restrict → rebound cycle and move into the New Year in a more regulated way.   Q&A topics in this episode:   ⭐ New Year "start fresh" → Last Supper eating: why it happens, how it restarts the binge–restrict cycle, and what helps you stay out of the loop ⭐ Diet culture in fitness spaces: how to handle "work off the holiday calories" messaging, how to set boundaries, and what to look for in more weight-neutral/body-inclusive movement environments ⭐ Food gifts: when food gifts feel emotionally loaded, why that can be activating, and how to protect your relationship with food without turning it into a power struggle   SENSR COURSE OPENS JANUARY 2026 -- Save your seat here: https://www.iamstefaniemichele.com/sensr   You'll also hear...   ✨ The "fishing rod" visualization: noticing when your mind is 50 feet in the future and reeling it back into today ✨ How to tell grounded goals from hype: the physical difference between calm steadiness vs. "jazzy" urgent energy ✨ A language swap for goals that doesn't turn into food rules ✨ The "spam filter" method for diet-culture talk  ✨ What to do with the energy of anger   If you're navigating binge eating recovery, chronic dieting history, emotional eating, or "healthy eating" obsession, this episode gives you a steadier way to approach the New Year.   Subscribe for more Q&A episodes and conversations on binge eating recovery, body image, diet culture, nervous system regulation, and building a sustainable relationship with food.    BODY INCLUSIVE FITNESS STARTER PACK Louise Green Jessamyn Stanley Amy Snelling of The Snack Pass Meg Boggs SITA Size Inclusive Training Superfit Hero Body Positive Fitness Joyful Inclusive Movement  Search terms: weight inclusive fitness or body positive fitness
