Weight Loss Doesn't Have to Suck

101: The Urge Toolkit: What I Do When Cravings Hit

Kimberly Severson Season 1 Episode 101

Ever wonder if coaches still struggle with food urges? In next week's episode, I take you behind the scenes during a real-time chocolate craving to show you exactly how I navigate urges—even after years of maintaining my 40-pound weight loss. You'll hear my authentic internal dialogue as I work through the mental chatter ("just have one, it won't matter") and discover what actually happens in your body during an urge (hint: it's way less intense than your brain claims).

I break down the exact step-by-step process I use to move through urges without drama: how to create that crucial pause between trigger and response, what questions to ask yourself in that moment, and why allowing an urge to exist (rather than fighting it) changes everything. You'll discover why your lower brain's panicked messages about urges being "unbearable" simply aren't true, and how quickly that feeling actually passes when you know what to do.

This episode gives you a powerful reality check about food urges that will transform how you respond to them. If you've ever felt completely at the mercy of your cravings or believed you simply "lack willpower," this raw, unfiltered look at navigating urges in real-time will give you the exact tools to reclaim your power around food—without restriction or deprivation.
