Why She Gave Up on Noom and Weight Watchers—and Found Something Better

She had tried all the weight loss apps and was stuck.

Carol is a mid 40’s full-time pediatrician, a site leader at her office, a mom to a busy teen girl—and someone who’s tried all the usual programs like Noom and Weight Watchers.

Despite knowing a lot about nutrition, she couldn’t figure out why she was still struggling with her eating habits. Like so many of us she had gotten into the pattern of snacking while charting—mostly to make the endless to-dos feel more tolerable.

And when something frustrating happened at work? She’d reach for a “healthy” snack from her drawer to feel better.

Evenings weren’t much better. Her husband travels a lot, and she was often solo parenting, managing the mental load, and working full time. By the time she got home, she was exhausted and needed something to take the edge off. That something was usually wine—because, as she told herself, “I deserve it.”

She didn’t need another app—she needed a mindset shift.

Inside the Mama Docs Weight Loss Accelerator, I taught her what was really going on: something called buffering.

Buffering is when we use food or drink to escape negative emotions. It works in the moment for a moment—but doesn’t actually fix the underlying stress. And usually, it leaves us with regret, guilt, and more frustration with ourselves. Furthermore it leads us to create a pattern of repeatedly turning to food to escape. 

Carol started using the 5-minute daily method I teach inside my Mama Docs Weight Loss Accelerator to rewire her cravings and break the habit of stress snacking. It didn’t involve tracking every bite or cutting out food groups. No points. No apps. No special shakes.

Instead, she learned how to:
✅ Stop snacking during charting
✅ End the urge to reach for wine after a long day

✅ Eat out and stay on track with her goals
✅ Travel and maintain her progress
✅ Feel in control even when life is very full

And here's the best part—she's dropped 10 pounds and feels amazing in her clothes. But she’s not done. She knows exactly how to lose the next 10 because her habits and mindset have fundamentally shifted.

Her transformation didn’t stop with her weight.

Carol told me that she’s having better conversations with her own patients about food and self-care. When you experience the change firsthand, it becomes so much easier to teach it from a place of empathy, not just education.

In her words:

"If you're frustrated having tried all the standard approaches to weight loss, this is the program for you. It's so worth it!"

Ready to feel in control again?

If you're a busy physician mom who’s snacking through charting, turning to food after hard shifts, or wondering why nothing has worked long term, this program was built for you.

It’s not about restriction. It’s not about willpower. It’s about rewiring the way you think about food—so you can finally stop buffering and start feeling like yourself again.
