ANECDOTE

Lifelong Daily Binge Pattern

Terry binged almost every day for about 50 years before joining the program.
She felt the binges were automatic and often followed a 'I've already blown it' thought loop.

ADVICE

Eat Three Meals Plus One Planned Treat

Heather advised Terry to eat three balanced meals plus one planned treat each day rather than banning binges outright.
This plan removed the all-or-nothing pressure and allowed Terry to feel safe trying new behaviors.

INSIGHT

Lower Brain Repeats Old Solutions

Heather observed that the lower brain only offers the old solution (complete deprivation) which keeps people trapped.
Allowing planned treats undermines that trap and creates space for new habits.
