You’ve tried 61 diets. Here’s why none of them worked. 

And why it’s not your fault—but your biology, your emotions, and a system that was never made for you. 

If dieting worked, wouldn’t we all be walking around like calm, confident queens 👑 instead of battling guilt every time we open the fridge? 

But the truth? 

📉 Over 80% of people who lose weight will regain it within 5 years 
📊 46% of Australian adults are actively trying to lose weight right now 
😔 80% of Australian women say they’re unhappy with their bodies 
📚 And by age 45, the average Aussie woman has tried 61 diets 
😳 And yet, less than 5% of people maintain weight loss through restrictive diets.

That’s not a failure of discipline. 
That’s a failure of the system. 


The Cycle You Know All Too Well:

You start a new plan—keto, fasting, paleo, plant-based, carnivore, whatever’s trending. 

🎯 This time will be different. 
💪 You’re motivated. 
🙅‍♀️ You’re “good.” 

…Until life happens. 

🎉 A wedding 
🏖 A holiday 
💔 A breakup 
🩺 A health scare 
🌍 Or just… being a woman trying to survive the week 

You slip. You stall. You gain a little back. 
And then the self-doubt creeps in: 

“Maybe this just isn’t for me.” 
“Maybe my metabolism is broken.” 
“Maybe I am the problem.” 

The shame kicks in. 
The cycle restarts. 
And deep down, you wonder if you’ll ever feel at peace in your body. 


💔 The Diet Industry Profits From That Feeling 

I’ve been in this space for over 20 years. 
I’ve seen it over and over again: brilliant, capable women shrinking themselves—physically, emotionally, and energetically—for the promise of feeling “better.” 

And still feeling broken. 

If these diets worked long-term, would 46% of Aussie adults still be trying to lose weight every single year?

🧠 The Real Problem Isn’t Willpower—It’s Emotion + Biology 

We’ve been trained to look outside ourselves: 

❌ More rules 
❌ More tracking 
❌ More control 

But the truth? 

You don’t need more rules. 
You need a reset with your body. 

Because food isn’t the problem—it’s the response. 
And cravings aren’t bad. 
They’re trying to tell you something.  


🍷 🍫 What Emotional Eating Actually Sounds Like: 

“I’ve had a rough day.” → Wine feels like relief 
“I’m uncertain about my future.” → Chocolate feels safe 
“I feel lonely.” → Pizza fills the space 

This isn’t a lack of discipline. 
This is your nervous system trying to self-soothe the only way it knows how. 

👉 Diets don’t fix emotional hunger. 
👉 They don’t repair your gut or balance your hormones. 
👉 They don’t teach you how to feel safe inside your body.  

✨ I’ve Been That Woman Too. 

I was the one crying into my protein bar at 9pm. 
The one who looked “together” on the outside—but felt like a mess inside. 
I didn’t need another diet. 
I needed to come home to myself. 

That’s what I help women do. 


💡 Imagine a New Way Forward… 

🧘‍♀️ Waking up without food guilt 
🥗 Eating out without fear 
💃 Feeling calm, clear, and in control—not perfect, but powerful 
🌿 Making choices from alignment, not anxiety 

This isn’t a fantasy. It’s what happens when you stop dieting—and start rebuilding the connection with your body. 

“I’ve tried every diet since I was 15. Working with Victoria was the first time I felt heard—not judged. I didn’t just lose weight. I lost the guilt.” 
– Sarah, 47
