Breaking Up With Binge Eating

Making a list of alternatives to turn to instead of food is an important step. (Don't count on yourself to be creative when you are in a moment of distress.) But what if you have a list and keep ignoring it? Let's ensure that your list is done right, and look for the stories or thoughts you might be telling yourself that are keeping you from changing. 

Does any type of food guideline, rule, or limit "set you off?" You're not alone. As a person's relationship with food heals, this type of food limit reactivity goes down. In other words, it becomes tolerable, then comfortable to experiment with waiting to eat for a short time, or choosing some foods more often than others... without alarms going off and causing binges. This process takes several months of gentle practice in a consistent, kind, and trusting atmosphere. Learn more in this episode.

Food limit reactivity is an issue that I often see in my clients. If you feel like the mere thought of eating less drives you into a panic, sparking an immediate desire to eat compulsively, you may be experiencing it. This state makes it all but impossible to lose weight, or follow food guidelines for the sake of your health. Let's explore it together in this episode.

Some of the topics we discuss in this episode include: Why ignoring your wants causes problems Why you can feel like you really want a particular food, but then be unsatisfied once you have itWhy wanting something doesn't mean it's a good idea to eat it (or that it will make you happy) Why we are poor at predicting how it will feel to have (or not have) something we wantWhat to do when you want conflicting things at the same time

It's interesting how even if we hide to eat in total secrecy, we don't really have peace. Not when the voices in our minds tell us that we're pathetic, weak, being "bad," or that no one would love us if they only knew. In this episode we map out a plan for Julie to finally end the hiding and break out of the shame that has plagued her since her childhood. It's a juicy one! Book mentioned: "It wasn't your fault" by Beverly Engel. 

If you've counted calories for ages and have become afraid to stop, here's a guide. You don't have to do it all at once, you can do it in several gradual phases, laid out for you in this episode. 

What a conundrum: Nobody likes counting calories. But people are also afraid to stop. So they continue. The idea of being able to eat an appropriate amount for our bodies *by feel* seems like nirvana. But how can a person get to this promised land, if counting calories feels absolutely necessary?  Let me draw you a map. 

In this episode, we discuss the most common reasons people eat past the point of satisfaction. And with that knowledge in hand, we can go over exactly what you personally  can to work on to achieve more success with eating the perfect feel-good amount for your body.
