RYW 152: Is Food Addiction Helping You or Keeping You Stuck?

Rachel explores why food addiction can feel like such a relief after years of shame, dieting, restriction, and feeling out of control. The label may offer compassion and explain why food feels so powerful, but it can also become an identity that teaches you to expect permanence and fear certain foods.Drawing on her own 14-year experience with binge eating, Rachel Foy examines the difference between experiencing a powerful learned response around food and believing you’ll always be powerless around it. She looks at restriction, emotional eating, food noise, habit, scarcity, and the beliefs that can reinforce the cycle.The central question isn’t simply whether food addiction exists. It’s what happens when you believe you’re addicted to food. Does that belief help you understand yourself and see change as possible, or does it become another reason to fear yourself?Live Workshop on switching off food noise and food thoughts: LIMITED FREE PLACES: https://www.rewireyourweightmethod.com/register/
