Sometimes it starts hours or even days earlier with food obsession, planning, secrecy, anticipation, and the exhausting mental gymnastics that nobody else sees. In this milestone 400th episode of the Food Freedom Podcast, I’m sharing a deeply personal look at what binge eating and food addiction looked like behind closed doors for me, and why willpower, dieting, and “everything in moderation” were never enough to break the cycle. If you’ve ever planned a binge, hidden your eating, or wondered why you keep repeating behaviors you desperately want to stop, this episode may help you see your struggle through a very different lens.
