Your binge on sweets may have started before you even ate the chocolate.

You craved chocolate, but chose fruit, almonds and a protein bar instead. Now you’re full, still unsatisfied and thinking about chocolate even more.

In this episode, I explain why avoiding the food you actually want can lead to overeating later and how honouring a craving can help you feel satisfied and move on.

You’ll learn:

  • Why fullness and satisfaction are different
  • How “healthier” substitutes can make food noise louder
  • Why being overly full can trigger a binge
  • How guilt turns eating sweets into an all-or-nothing spiral
  • How to honour a craving without eating on autopilot
