If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the cycle of out-of-control eating—overeating, emotional eating, bingeing—you’re not alone. And it’s not a personal failure. You’re responding to patterns that once helped you cope, but now hold you back.

Hi, I’m Davina Chessid—writer, journal creator, and author of Food Crazy Mind.

For years, I lived in the exhausting cycle of food obsession: making promises, breaking them, feeling sad, disappointed, and ashamed—and starting over again. I didn’t need more willpower. I needed a way to understand what was really going on beneath the surface.

I didn’t set out to write a book. I set out to understand my own mind. What came from that journey is Food Crazy Mind—a blend of personal story, compassionate reflection, and lived insight, for anyone who’s ever wondered, “What’s wrong with me?” when it comes to food.

It’s not a diet book. It’s not an eating plan, though it can support any approach that feels right for you. This book offers gentle guidance as you pause, reflect, and explore your relationship with food, health, and healing.

I believe that true change begins with self-awareness, and that clarity brings more peace than rigid control. The answers we seek are often already within us—we just need a way to bring them into focus.

When we begin asking better questions—and answering from our own experience—we shift from confusion to clarity. Food Crazy Mind was created to guide you through that shift—with self-compassion, curiosity, and resilience.

What You’ll Find in Food Crazy Mind

• A deeply personal, honest look at life inside the food struggle
• Guided prompts to help you find clarity
• A relatable voice that says, “Me too,” not “You should…”
• A compassionate look at the inner dialogue that shapes healing
• Gentle encouragement for finding your own way forward

Food Crazy Mind is for those who are tired of the noise—tired of dieting, tired of guilt, tired of being at odds with themselves around food. It’s not about fixing yourself through force. It’s about approaching change in a way that truly works—even if you’re not sure it can… Especially then.
