150. Can’t Stop Thinking About Food 24/7? 3 Reasons Why You Can’t Shut It Off

Can’t stop thinking about food all day long—like, literally from the moment you wake up to the second your head hits the pillow?

If your brain feels like a 24/7 food radio station that won’t turn off, you’re not alone. So many women find themselves obsessively thinking about what they should eat, shouldn’t eat, or how to “get it right” with food. But here’s the truth: this mental tug-of-war with food isn’t your fault—and it can be unlearned.

In today’s episode of the Faith-Filled Food Freedom podcast, Brittany is pulling back the curtain on why your thoughts keep circling back to food (even when you’re not hungry), and how your relationship with food may be more tangled up in your mindset, habits, and spiritual walk than you realize.

If you’ve ever wondered why your brain just won’t let it go when it comes to food choices, “being good,” or feeling in control, this one’s a must-listen.

A few things you can expect to hear in this episode include…

🍩 A sneak peek into what’s really fueling your food thoughts (hint: it’s not just hunger)

🧠 How a fear of losing control around food keeps your brain in overdrive

🙃 The mental checklist you’re constantly running that you didn’t even know you had
