    In this episode of the Food Freedom Podcast, Coach Mary pulls back the curtain on what disordered eating and food addiction really look like in everyday life. It's not just about bingeing or restricting , it's the defensiveness, the denial, the overreactions, and the blame-shifting that happen when truth feels uncomfortable.Mary shares two real-life coaching examples that show how the eating disorder (or “ED voice”) disguises itself as pride, justification, and victimhood. You'll learn how the voice of sabotage protects dysfunction by blaming others, normalizing chaos, and avoiding accountability and how facing those patterns head-on is the key to food sobriety and lasting recovery.If you've ever felt triggered, defensive, or angry when someone spoke truth about your eating habits, this episode will help you see what's really going on beneath the surface and how to start breaking free from it.93196/?ref=share_group_linkDo you need private coaching and intensive daily contact with a coach?

    In this episode of the Food Freedom Podcast, Mary breaks down a hard-hitting truth that can radically change your food addiction recovery: goals don't create transformation, standards do.Most people set goals for “someday,” hoping they'll eventually become the version of themselves who stops binge eating, quits sugar, or finally stays consistent, but in recovery, goals leave too much room for negotiation.Mary explains why setting personal standards is a far more powerful approach in overcoming food addiction, emotional eating, disordered eating, and the constant cycle of “starting over.” You'll learn how standards shape your identity, eliminate loopholes, and shift you from hoping to becoming right now.If you're tired of white-knuckling your way through food choices, constantly breaking promises to yourself, or feeling like your progress depends on willpower, this episode will give you the mindset shift you've been missing.Grab your copy of my FREE 9 page Beginner's Guide to Food Sobriety https://www.foodfreedomwithmary.com/foodsobrietyguideNEW Free Food Sobriety Mini Course - https://www.foodfreedomwithmary.com/minicoursefoodsobrietyFacebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/4915319108493196/?ref=share_group_linkDo you need private coaching and intensive daily contact with a coach?

    Food noise has become a trending topic thanks to Ozempic, but what is food noise actually trying to tell you? In this episode, Mary breaks down the truth behind constant food thoughts, why medication can temporarily quiet them, and why the noise often returns the moment you stop taking it.You'll learn the difference between physical hunger, emotional hunger, and nervous-system-driven food noise, and why trying to numb or silence those signals only makes them louder. Mary explains how food noise often shows up as panic, fear, restlessness, anxiety, exhaustion, sadness, or frustration and why those feelings are messages from your body, not evidence that you're “broken” or “out of control.”If you've ever wondered why your brain won't stop thinking about food or why food noise gets worse during stress, dieting, restriction, or emotional overwhelm this episode will help you understand what's really going on. You'll discover how to somatically reconnect with your body, meet your physical and emotional needs, and quiet food noise naturally through food sobriety, nourishment, and nervous system safety.Grab your copy of my FREE 9 page Beginner's Guide to Food Sobriety https://www.foodfreedomwithmary.com/foodsobrietyguideNEW Free Food Sobriety Mini Course - https://www.foodfreedomwithmary.com/minicoursefoodsobrietyFacebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/4915319108493196/?ref=share_group_linkDo you need private coaching and intensive daily contact with a coach?
