Do you feel obsessed with thoughts of food? In this episode, Stef & Sarah talk about the reasons this may be happening for you -- none of which include being selfish, addicted, or gluttonous! We cover:

The role of restriction in food obsession (including the role of ghrelin, the hunger hormone)

Food obsession driven by feelings of food guilt, including guilt about not eating “clean” enough

Is it food obsession or anxiety?

Thinking about food as a way of escaping your thoughts or reality

The role of emotional suppression to think about food, and how to access groundedness
