Were you raised to finish everything on your plate, no matter what? That childhood rule is still shaping your eating habits today in ways you don’t even realize.

In this episode of Isn’t She Powerful, we’re unpacking how being forced (or pressured) to clean your plate as a child can lead to overeating, guilt, ignoring hunger cues, and feeling out of control around food as an adult.

This isn’t about blaming parents! It’s about understanding where your patterns came from so you can finally stop fighting yourself at every meal.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why cleaning your plate trained you to ignore hunger and fullness cues
• How “don’t waste food” messaging leads to guilt-driven eating
• Why fullness may feel uncomfortable or hard to recognize at all
• Simple actions to start doing immediately to shifts to begin trusting your body again

If You’ve Ever Thought:

• “I can’t stop once I start eating”
• “I hate wasting food, even when I’m full”
• “I don’t know what ‘full’ feels like”
• “Why do I always eat past fullness?”

This episode will help you see that nothing is wrong with you, your eating habits were learned, and they can be unlearned.
