If you’re trying to recover from food addiction but still feel stuck in the cycle of bingeing, restricting, negotiating with food, and starting over every Monday, this episode is for you.

In this powerful Food Freedom Podcast episode, Mary breaks down why you can’t heal food addiction while keeping one foot on both sides of the line. Living in the “comfort zone” not fully committing, promising tomorrow, white-knuckling through good days and falling apart on hard ones is where food addiction and disordered eating patterns survive.

This episode goes beyond willpower and motivation and gets to the real issue: truth, commitment, and making a clear decision to pursue food sobriety. Mary explains why managing the crazy isn’t recovery, how the comfort zone feels safer than change, and why freedom from binge eating and compulsive eating starts with drawing a hard line.

If you struggle with emotional eating, food obsession, or feel like you keep repeating the same patterns with food, this episode will challenge you to stop negotiating and start choosing real healing.

You’ll learn:

• Why the “comfort zone” keeps you stuck in food addiction

• The difference between managing symptoms and true recovery

• Why willpower isn’t the solution to binge eating and emotional eating

• How commitment and structure create food sobriety and peace with food

This episode is for anyone ready to stop playing games with food, break free from disordered eating behaviors, and finally experience lasting food freedom.
