I used to think food freedom meant eating whatever I wanted and never feeling guilty again. No rules. No tracking. No “good” or “bad” foods.
But what I see over and over, is that “freedom” can sometimes just become another version of control. You go from counting every calorie to ordering the dessert just because you can.
And at first, it’s a rush, it feels like sticking it to the old rules. But then the same thoughts creep back in… the guilt, the “I’ll start again Monday,” that low-grade anxiety that whispers you’ve gone too far.
That’s not freedom, that’s your subconscious running an old safety program.
Control = safety.
One side restricts to feel safe, the other rebels to feel safe. But fundamentally, these are different behaviours with the same wiring.
Real food freedom feels quiet. It’s eating when you’re hungry, stopping when you’re full, and moving on with your day.
Your mind doesn’t care about your macros, it cares about safety. And right now, food is just doing the job your boundaries couldn’t.
That’s what I help women uncover inside my free guide, Stop the Spiral. Because once your subconscious feels safe… the food obsession stops.
