We'll also talk about hidden triggers—like clothes not fitting—and how perfectionism, comparison, and all-or-nothing thinking can fuel binge eating cycles.If you've ever felt the “I've ruined it, so I might as well…” mindset, this episode will give you practical, judgment-free tools to break the cycle.
