197. Food Noise: Break Free from Food Obsession and Build a Healthier Relationship with Food

Ever feel like your thoughts about food are nonstop?

Like… you’re constantly thinking about what you should or shouldn’t eat, even when you're not hungry? 

That’s food noise, and those unwanted, intrusive thoughts about food that can seriously mess with your day-to-day life.

I’ve had plenty of my own experiences with food noise (especially my early mom years when I chose to regularly dig my son’s pizza crust out of the trash - yep, true story)!! Diet culture really created shame around food for me, and I felt like I needed to fear (and avoid) carbs all together if I wanted to be “healthy”.

The truth is, we shouldn’t be putting a “bad” label on certain foods - it’s total BS! 

We SHOULD fuel our bodies effectively and consistently, and get curious about what’s really behind our cravings.

This isn’t about more willpower - it’s about more awareness, intention, and compassion. You’re NOT broken, and it is possible to heal your relationship with food!
