Brain over Binge Podcast

Kathryn and Coach Julie talk about when doubts pop up in binge eating recovery in the form of “yeah, buts,” including: Yeah, but I have weight to lose.  Yeah, but I have too much stress in my life.  Yeah, but I have been bingeing for too long.  Yeah, but my case is different. You can learn to recognize and reframe the “yeah, buts” so they don’t hold you back from having freedom from the struggle with food.

Kathryn talks with Marcus Kain of Strong Not Starving about avoiding some of the typical pitfalls that January can bring when it comes to food and weight. When setting goals or resolutions in the new year, the choice is not a dichotomy between restrictive dieting and not caring about your health or body at all. Thinking about goals more sustainably and approaching change with a healthy mindset makes all the difference and keeps you from slipping into harmful obsessions or compulsive behaviors.

Binge-encouraging thoughts don’t make logical sense, but they are tempting to believe in the moment of an urge. You can learn to stop taking these thoughts seriously, dismissing them as untrue and not indicative of who you truly are and what you truly want. It’s helpful to know that you aren’t the only one having thoughts that try to justify binge eating. In this episode, Kathryn shares several common faulty thoughts (from the lower brain) and explains how you can stop letting these thoughts lead you into harmful actions.

Recovery can bring up some unexpected feelings, including grief.  Even though binge eating is ultimately a harmful behavior, you may still experience a sense of loss as you let it go, and you may also grieve the time you lost to the eating disorder. As you go through this, it can be helpful to cultivate thoughts and feelings of gratitude to soften the grief, and to keep you moving in the direction of freedom from the struggle with food. Life inevitably involves loss, and some lessons learned from recovery about both grief and gratitude can help you in many other areas as you move forward.

Recovery involves setting some boundaries with food, with the primary boundaries being to avoid binges and to avoid restriction. You can also use gentle, loving boundaries in other ways—as tools that help you protect your time, energy, and mental clarity so that you can connect with your higher brain and make recovery-promoting choices.   Episode mentioned in this show: Ep. 147: Redefining Restriction Brain over Binge resources: Get the FREE 30-day Inspiration Booklet Get personalized support with one-on-one coaching or group coaching Subscribe to the Brain over Binge Course for only $18.99 per month Get the Second Edition of Brain over Binge on Amazon and Audible, BarnesandNoble.com, Apple iBooks, or Kobo.
