I know that feeling because I lived it for decades. In this episode of the Food Freedom Podcast, I’m talking about why trying harder, having more discipline, and making another promise to “get it right this time” may not be what finally changes your relationship with food. If you’re exhausted from the cycle of food obsession, overeating, shame, restriction, and starting over, I want you to hear this message. Food addiction recovery is possible, even if you’ve had more Day 1s than you can count.
