Lisa’s Corner #36 - Are You Using Tracking as a Tool, or a Crutch?

In this week’s episode of Lisa’s Corner, Lisa gets real about long-term dieting and the delicate balance between structure and freedom. After chatting with members who’ve been tracking for decades, she explores an honest question many of us face: when does a helpful tool like tracking become a crutch that keeps us from trusting ourselves? Lisa dives into how diet culture can unintentionally create dependency, why maintenance often feels confusing, and what it really takes to move from constant counting to confident, mindful living.

With practical tips (and a few fun experiments) for retraining your eyes and brain to recognize portions, this conversation will help you break free from fear-based tracking and step into true accountability and self-trust. Whether you’ve been tracking for months or years, this episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to feel calm, capable, and in control around food, no measuring required.
