What if the voice telling you, “Just have one… you deserve it… start again tomorrow” isn’t really you at all? Clinical psychologist Dr. Glenn Livingston calls it the “Food Monster”: a radically different way to understand cravings and that feeling of being hijacked by food. After nearly 20 years battling overeating himself, he realized that understanding why he ate wasn’t the same as changing the behavior. Instead of seeing cravings as proof you’re weak or lack willpower, Glenn reframes them as a survival response. One that can be interrupted and retrained, so you can stop fighting yourself every time a craving hits. Once you hear cravings explained this way, you won’t be able to unhear it.
