Episode 35: Why Cravings Are Never About Lack of Willpower

A lot of women experience food cravings and blame themselves for not having enough will power around food.

In this episode, I bust through this willpower myth and explain why cravings are never about a lack of willpower.

Just know, you have all the willpower you need to have ease around food.

Once we resolve what's really causing your food cravings, then food freedom, ease, peace, and balance in your relationship with food become a natural byproduct.

This means you don't actually need willpower to eat the way you desire to eat.

Listen to the episode to learn:

  • Why trying so hard with food increases cravings.
  • Why telling yourself you can't or shouldn't have a food increases cravings.
  • Why being a "health conscious eater" or "someone who is watching what they eat", can really backfire for some women.
  • Why you may crave carbs and have the urge to binge on them.
  • Emotions that we mistake for cravings and lack of willpower.
  •  My personal experience with emotional eating and the two things that were pivotal in resolving it. 
  • 4 simple questions to ask yourself to work through emotional food cravings.
