What do you do when food noise shows up?

Because here's something I want you to know: I still experience food noise too.

I know that might surprise you, especially if you've been listening to me talk about healing your relationship with food and quieting food noise for a while.

But that's actually the point of today's episode.

I recently found myself navigating two different situations where food noise popped up. One happened while I was at a friend's house, and the other happened while I was driving home after going out to lunch.

In both situations, I had a choice to make.

And I didn't make the exact same choice in each situation.

That's important.

Because healing your relationship with food doesn't mean you'll never want something just because it's there. It doesn't mean you'll never think about food when you're not physically hungry. And it certainly doesn't mean you'll suddenly become someone who never experiences food noise.

The goal isn't to never have food noise. The goal is to know what to do when it shows up.

In this episode, I walk you through both of these real-life situations and explain what I was thinking, how I determined what I actually needed, and why I chose to respond differently in each moment.

I also share why I intentionally tell you about moments like these.

I don't want you walking away from my podcast thinking that I've somehow "figured it all out" and never struggle with food again. That's not real life and it's not the goal I'm teaching my clients to pursue.

Instead, I want you to see what it can look like to have food noise without immediately feeling like you've failed.

Sometimes the answer is to eat the thing.

Sometimes the answer is to recognize that the food noise is a clue and choose something different.

The skill is learning how to tell the difference.

If you've ever thought, "But what am I supposed to DO when the food noise actually happens?" this episode is for you.
