But that belief is one of the biggest reasons people struggle long-term. In this vlog, I walk through the five most common myths about weight-loss maintenance. As we launch my fifth book this week, Maintain, it’s worth taking a close look at what maintenance actually means.

Click here to learn more and join the Maintenance Database. This week, I’m inviting you into something I’ve wanted to build for a long time—the Maintenance Database. After more than a decade of helping people lose weight and keep it off, I know there are thousands of you living in maintenance… but we’ve never had a way to truly see you. What does it mean to “be in maintenance,” really? And what can we learn from those who have found lasting freedom with food? If you’re devoted, resourced, and liberated—even imperfectly—I want to invite you to stand up and be counted. Click here to learn more and join the Maintenance Database.

I had such a thought-provoking conversation this week with Dr. Marion Nestle. She’s the most famous nutritionist in the world—you’ve probably seen her in lots of movies (like Super Size Me and so many more). We talked about how to think about food in a world where so much of what’s available is ultra-processed and engineered to keep us coming back for more. We also explored the role of policy, agriculture, and consumer influence in shaping the food landscape. There’s a lot here to reflect on—and I’m still thinking about parts of it. FOR THIS EPISODE and MORE: https://ble.life/d5d4hl Interview with Marion Nestle | Bright Line Living | The Official Bright Line Eating Podcast A note about this conversation:This interview explores food policy, which can intersect with political topics. While Bright Line Eating does not typically engage in political discourse, we are sharing this conversation because food policy is an important part of the broader food landscape. The views expressed by Marion Nestle are her own and do not necessarily reflect the views of Susan or Bright Line Eating, its members, or its team. To preserve a safe and supportive environment for recovery, we ask that political discussions not be brought into our Support Community.

Click here to access the webinar. I’ve cried in the shower over things that didn’t make sense. I’ve eaten in ways that felt completely out of my control. What I’ve learned is this: hormones are incredibly powerful—but they’re not the whole story. If you’ve ever felt like your eating is being driven by something you can’t quite control, you’re not imagining it. There’s a reason it feels this hard—and there’s also a way forward. I’ll be sharing more in a live conversation this week, and I’d love for you to join me. Click here to access the webinar.

For years, meditation felt impossible for me. Every time I tried to quiet my mind, it felt uncomfortable—sometimes even painful. But over time, I discovered how to create meditation habits that I could manage. In this week’s vlog, I’m sharing the four types of meditation I’ve come to know through 23 years of daily practice—and how giving myself permission to try one approach finally made meditation work for me. *This webinar is no longer available.

There was a time in my life when I needed more support than I knew how to find. In today’s vlog, I’m announcing a partnership I wish had existed back then. Bright Line Eating is officially collaborating with Milestones, a residential treatment center specializing in eating disorders and food addiction. If getting Bright has felt out of reach, this may be an option worth exploring.

Why do some people recover—and others don’t? In this Best Of vlog, we dive into the Big Book’s haunting phrase: “cannot or will not.” Is it about motivation? Willpower? Something deeper? If you’ve ever wondered why food addiction can feel impossible—and how a cannot can turn into a can and will—this one is for you.

I have often said that I have just one pet peeve in life: the word “carbs.” That word irks me because it conflates sugar and flour with apples and carrots, resulting in people (lots and lots of people) who are literally afraid to eat an apple. But I may actually be developing a new pet peeve, and it has to do with how people are starting to talk about personal growth. Curious? I explain it all in this week’s vlog… FOR THIS EPISODE and MORE: https://ble.life/1sgdiv Growth is Not Linear | Bright Line Living | The Official Bright Line Eating Podcast
