Focusing on how to stop a binge when the urge hits is like trying to patch a leaky pipe with duct tape. Can you do it? Sure. But is that going to give you the lifelong freedom you’re after? Definitely not. In this episode, we talk about what to actually do about the urge that will actually help you heal long term.

2:27 Franny on fear of food being out of her control during travel, and why structure feels safer than freedom
