224. How to Break the Cycle of Food Obsession

When you're stuck in Diet Culture you don't realize just how much you think about food.

It's like there's a mental program running that's sucking up all your emotional bandwidth.

How much do I eat? Am I eating enough? I shouldn't have eaten that. I really want that. Don't eat carbs. I'm hungry. When's my next meal? Don't eat another slice of pizza. Stop eating these cookies. Cravings. Calories. Protein. Eat less. Gluten. Dairy...

... and the thoughts go on.

Of course, this isn't happening all at once. We usually get triggered by our body and decide to "get healthy", or lose weight, or eat better.

And before you know it, you have a preoccupation with food.
