Sunday Bonus: Impatience Is Sabotaging Your Weight Loss and Recovery

Why does food sobriety take so long? Why isn’t weight loss faster? Why does mindset change feel like such a slow process? In this episode, Mary breaks down the real reason food addiction recovery takes time and why impatience is one of the biggest sabotages women fall into. Most people want instant results without the real work that recovery requires. Most people want the outcome without the effort. But true change especially around binge eating, emotional eating, and compulsive overeating takes time, consistency, and depth. Mary also defines the characteristics of food addiction and reminds listeners that “kind of trying” and half-effort will always produce half-results. Real healing means showing up fully and working through the discomfort of change. At the end of this episode, Mary invites you to download her free Beginner’s Guide to Food Sobriety a powerful tool that helps you assess where you are on the food addiction spectrum, understand what food sobriety really is, and use a hunger/fullness scale to make better decisions around food.

Episode 194: Food Addiction Is Real: Here’s Why You Can’t Control Drug Foods

In this episode of the Food Freedom Podcast, Coach Mary pulls back the curtain on one of the most dangerous lies in diet culture, the idea that you can “moderate” drug foods when you’re addicted to them. If you’ve been telling yourself you can just have a little sugar, a little junk food, or a little processed snack and still stay in control this episode is going to be a reality check. We’re talking about the real definition of addiction, why moderation always fails for food addicts, how ultra processed foods hijack the brain, and why abstinence is the proven path to true food freedom. If you’ve ever wondered why you can’t stop once you start, or why one bite leads to a binge, you’ll understand the science AND the psychology after this episode. Food addiction is real. Moderation isn’t recovery it’s relapse disguised as “balance.” If you want real food freedom, you have to get honest about what your brain can and cannot handle. If you’re tired of the binge-restrict cycle, and ready for food sobriety that actually lasts this episode is for you.

Episode 193: You Can’t Heal On Empty

In this episode of the Food Freedom Podcast, Mary breaks down one of the most misunderstood pieces of food addiction recovery: nourishment. Diet culture pushes women toward restriction, low-calorie plans, and the belief that suffering equals success — but the truth is that chronic under-fueling keeps your nervous system dysregulated, increases food obsession, and makes binge eating harder to overcome. Mary explains how the Minnesota Starvation Study proved decades ago that starvation and restriction lead to anxiety, irritability, depression, and obsessive thoughts about food — not discipline. If you’re trying to heal your relationship with food, recover from binge eating disorder, or build food sobriety, you need enough energy to support that healing. Hunger isn’t a lack of willpower — it’s biology. In this episode you’ll learn why adequate nourishment is non-negotiable for emotional regulation, mental clarity, and long-term recovery. Tune in to learn: • Why 1200-calorie diets keep you stuck in survival mode • How under-eating increases anxiety, food noise, and cravings • What real nourishment looks like in recovery from food addiction • Why fueling yourself is a requirement, not a setback If you’re ready to stop starving yourself into relapse and start building real freedom with food — this episode will shift how you think about “fuel” forever.
