Show Notes: 
When the urge to eat feels urgent, convincing, and hard to resist, insight alone usually isn’t enough. In this episode, we focus on what to do once the urge is already here—so you reduce escalation instead of making it worse.

In this episode, you’ll hear the key reframe that an urge is not an order—it’s a signal, why fighting, shaming, arguing, or “just giving in” often escalates urges, and what actually fuels escalation (all-or-nothing thinking, “if I start I won’t stop,” negotiation, and future-tripping). I’ll walk you through a simple protocol—Pause, Change Context, Choose the least-pressure next step—along with neutral language that keeps your thinking brain online. We’ll also cover how to eat in a more regulated way if you do choose to eat (seated, plated, with a check-in partway through), and what to do after urge-driven eating so you don’t accidentally make the next urge stronger.
