Food Noise
The constant mental chatter about food: planning the next meal, obsessing over snacks, being called back to the pantry.
Definition
The intrusive, constant mental chatter about food, planning the next meal, obsessing over snacks, or feeling called back to the pantry.
Why it matters
Food noise runs the same four questions on a loop: Is there enough food? Am I allowed to eat it? What will I eat next? When will there be more? Quieting that loop is the effect most people notice first, and the one they miss most if they stop.
None of this is medical advice. It is educational material drawn from FAT BITCH: Killing the Willpower Myth by Cat Clark, and it does not replace your prescriber, your pharmacist, or your actual doctor. If something here does not match what your care team told you, go with your care team and bring this along to the conversation.
