50. I Feel Ugly, Irritable, and Impulsive With Food: The Capacity Connection

If you've been feeling more impulsive with food, more critical of your body, or unusually impatient with everyone and everything, you may be dealing with a capacity problem.

51. Why Is Dinner Harder Than Breakfast? 5 Reasons We Struggle With Night Eating

Why does dinner feel so much harder than breakfast when it comes to binge eating, overeating, or feeling out of control with food? Maybe you can eat breakfast without much thought, but by dinner you're picking at food while cooking, struggling to feel satisfied, or experiencing a level of urgency …

211. But I'm Not Restricting! Why Am I Still Bingeing?

"I think I am an addict, a food junkie." That's how one listener described their experience of eating a breakfast and lunch, then finding themselves eating biscuits, ice cream, and whatever else was available by 8 PM. They weren't even hungry -- they just couldn't stop. We had some thoughts. For…
