For nearly 30 years, my relationship with food had two extremes:
✔️ ON
❌ OFF
There was no middle ground. No balance. No peace.
I was either stuck in:
👮♀️ Food Police Mode 🚨
Micromanaging every bite. Obsessing over calories, ingredients, and what I “should” or “shouldn’t” eat. I punished myself, controlled myself, and labeled foods as “bad” or “off-limits.” I carried the weight of shame, guilt, and endless judgment—not just about the food, but about me.
OR
🍩 Rebel Mode 🍕
Completely letting go—binging on anything I could find. Overeating to the point of discomfort. Weekends became free-for-alls, a desperate attempt to “get it all in” before the Food Police took over again on Monday.
And I swung between these two extremes for decades.
Restrict. Binge. Repeat.
The cycle ruled my life until one day, I hit my breaking point.
I realized: If I didn’t change the stories I told myself about food and my body, this would never stop. This exhausting, all-consuming cycle would be my reality forever.
That scared me to my core.
Because I was DONE:
★ Done with obsessing over food 24/7.
★ Done with hating myself for what I ate—or didn’t eat.
★ Done with living a life where freedom and joy always felt out of reach.
It was draining. It was defeating. And it wasn’t living.
That’s when I knew I had to rewrite my story—and my strategy—for good.
If you’re still stuck in this on-again, off-again war with food, your body, or your emotions, I want you to know:
There IS a better way.
You don’t have to live like this anymore.
And in this episode, I break down exactly what’s happening in your BRAIN that’s keeping you stuck—and how to finally break free.
"I have spent thousands of dollars and lost (and gained) hundreds of pounds. Every other program I’ve ever done has always been about the food – and about measuring, and about restrictions. No other program ever addressed what was happening within ME, and the constant conflict between my mind and my body."

"My life is unrecognizable from when I started. By this I mean that my EXTERNAL life hasn’t changed; I live in the same house with my husband and kids etc.... BUT my internal world is completely different. I feel deeply connected to myself and who I am…"
Tanith Lee
"This whole thing was an INTERNAL job, and now food is finally just food. It’s no longer my source of comfort or shame. But it was so much more than the food….I was in an internal war with myself, and it was a hateful, mean-spirited, vicious war. And now that's just not who I am anymore."
