Podcasts about Binge eating

Think losing weight will fix your binge eating? Think again. In this myth-busting episode, I explain why trying to diet your way out of binge eating actually makes the problem worse, not better. I break down the binge-restrict cycle that keeps so many physicians trapped, and why traditional weight loss approaches intensify this cycle rather than stopping it. You'll learn why you need to stabilize your eating FIRST (for 3-6 months) before addressing weight, and how restriction comes from your thoughts about food, not the food itself. Most importantly, I outline a clear path forward that honors both your health goals AND your relationship with food. You'll discover how to make small, consistent changes that don't trigger binges, and why destabilized eating is important information, not failure. Perfect for any physician who's tired of bouncing between rigid diets and out-of-control binges. There IS a way forward - just not in the order you might think.  

In episode 199, the hosts introduce and interview Anny Johnson from The Fat Ugly Blog. Anny shares her personal story of recovering from binge eating disorder and discusses the complexities of her journey as a black woman in recovery spaces. Despite technical hiccups during the introduction, Anny remains a captivating guest, shedding light on her experience of achieving her dream job as cabin crew, the ongoing challenges in body image, and the power of self-compassion. She speaks about reclaiming terms like 'fat' and 'ugly' and navigating through diet culture to find her own path to health and well-being. The episode emphasizes the importance of owning one's story and making personal, empowering choices. Meet Anny: Website Instagram Upcoming book: "Fat Ugly" Join our support community.

Kennst du diesen Essdruck, der so stark ist, dass man wie im Wahn einfach nur alles reinstopfen muss, bis man nicht mehr kann und sich dann übergibt, um z kompensieren? Kennst du ritualisierte Essanfälle, die du genießt, weil du dann endlich darfst, dich nur dann voller Freude fühlst, weil du nur noch so genießen und dich mal ausruhen kannst? Kennst du das Gefühl von Stärke, von Macht, das dem der Panik und inneren Unruhe mit vollem Bauch folgt, nachdem du diesen geleert und dich übergeben hast? Deinen Körper besiegt, die Kalorien ausgeglichen und alles wieder gut gemacht hast? All das können Aspekte von Bulimia Nervosa sein - eine Form der Essstörung, die einen extrem starken Sog/Suchteffekt haben kann, wie andere Essstörungsformen auch. Gleichzeitig hat sie genauso zerstörerische Konsequenzen - vor allem körperlich. Wie man mit diesem Essdrang umgehen kann und wie meine Interviewpartnern Ronja das geschafft hat - wird in dieser Folge besprochen. Also hört gerne rein und holt Euch ein paar Impulse ab - denn ihr seid damit nicht allein!!! Es kann besser werden.

In this deeply personal episode of Ditch the Binge, Renae shares the unexpected moment—during mile eight of a half marathon—when she realized she no longer identifies as bulimic. After over a decade of battling food, body image, and the shame that came with it, Renae reflects on how recovery slowly, quietly took root until one day… it just wasn't who she was anymore.She opens up about the years of bingeing and purging, the treatment programs, the obsessive research, and the painful identity that felt like it would always define her. But through consistent, messy, and unglamorous work, she found freedom.This episode is a raw, hopeful reminder that change doesn't always come in dramatic before-and-after moments—it builds quietly. And one day, without realizing it, you might just wake up and realize you're not who you used to be.Perfect for anyone in recovery, stuck in an identity they want to outgrow, or wondering if lasting change is really possible...Get Renae's book HERE.Follow her on IG here.Visit her website HERE.

Ever find yourself brushing off compliments about your weight loss with a “Thanks, but…” followed by a list of why you're not good enough yet? This episode dives into the self-sabotage behind downplaying your wins. I'm calling out the perfectionist, all-or-nothing thinking that keeps you stuck in the "never enough" cycle. Let's unpack why it's so hard to own your success—and how to start seeing yourself the way others already do.

In dieser Folge erzählt Stefanie, wie sie sich nach Jahrzehnten des inneren Drucks, der Ängste und Selbstverleugnung endlich auf den Weg gemacht hat, sich selbst zu begegnen – mit all ihren Bedürfnissen, Anteilen und inneren Stimmen.  Sie spricht offen über den enormen Leistungsdruck in ihrer Kindheit, ihre tief sitzenden Versagensängste und den ständigen Versuch, durch Kontrolle Halt zu finden: „Ich dachte lange, das bin einfach ich – dabei war das nur die Angst, die mich gelenkt hat.“ Durch Soulfood durfte sie entdecken, wer sie unter all den Schichten von Perfektionismus, Angst und Anpassung wirklich ist. Und sie sagt heute: „Wenn mein Leben früher wie in Sepia war, ist es jetzt wieder bunt.“ Diese Folge schenkt Verständnis und Hoffnung – besonders, wenn Du Dich in Stefanies Geschichte wiedererkennst.

Unsere heutige super liebe Schweizer Interviewgästin hat bereits über 20 Jahre mit Bulimie hinter sich und befindet sich auch heute noch auf dem Weg, doch sie hat so viel Wertvolles zu erzählen. Falls ihr also dabei seid, die Hoffnung aufzugeben - don't do it! There is always hope! ALWAYS! Triggerwarnung: In diesem Video geht es um Essstörungen wie Anorexie, Bulimie und Binge Eating.

What if your cravings aren't about food at all?In this episode, I dive into how intuitive eating can truly change your relationship with food. I talk about why regulating your nervous system is key to letting go of cravings and emotional eating—not through willpower, but by creating a sense of safety in your body.I walk you through seven powerful steps to help you build a healthy, peaceful connection with food. One of the biggest shifts? Planning your meals not to restrict yourself, but to ease anxiety around food and take the pressure off.We also explore how restriction often backfires and how tuning into your body's natural signals can help you feel more in control, without guilt or shame. It's all about approaching food with compassion and trust.You'll hear practical tips and real talk about calming cravings, emotional eating, and how nervous system regulation plays a major role in all of it. When we stop seeing food as the enemy and start working with our body—not against it—weight loss and health happen more naturally.Topics Covered:Calming Cravings by Planning Meals and Regulating the Nervous SystemShifting From Protection Mode to Safety Mode for WellnessBreaking the Cycle of Restrict, Binge, Punish, PromiseThe Paradox of Food Deprivation and Increased CravingsFasting as a Healing Tool Beyond Weight LossRegulating Your Nervous System to Improve Eating HabitsIf you've ever felt like food has power over you, I hope this conversation brings you comfort and inspiration. You're not alone, and healing is possible.If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right—eating well, exercising, pushing yourself—but your body just won't let go of fat, there's a reason.Your nervous system is either in Protection Mode (fight-or-flight) or Safety Mode (rest-and-digest)—and fat release only happens in Safety Mode. But if your body feels unsafe? It clings to fat, slows metabolism, and even triggers binge eating and self-sabotage.Think about it. You go through stress, and suddenly you're reaching for food you swore you wouldn't touch. You're not weak—it's biology. When your body is in survival mode, it's wired to conserve energy and seek quick fuel. That's why unwanted eating behaviors feel so out of control sometimes.But here's the kicker: fat loss isn't just about burning calories—it's about making your body feel safe enough to let go.So the real question is—are you pushing your body into Protection Mode without even realizing it? Because if you are, no amount of dieting or exercise is going to override survival mode.It's time to stop fighting your body and start working with it.So if you're ready to Break Free from Emotional and Binge Eating, download my FREE eBook: Calm the Craving: 7 Steps to Break the Emotional and Binge Eating Battle.In this guide, you'll learn how to regulate your nervous system to eliminate cravings, make peace with food, and allow the weight to naturally release itself.Download your free copy here: www.sherryshaban.com/calmYou deserve to experience food freedom, I can't wait to see you inside!Listen to more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe to me on Spotify, iTunes, and YouTube so you never miss an episode!Join my Facebook Community here: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.comWork with me: www.sherryshaban.com/transformWant to go deeper?

In this live-streamed episode, Stef and Sarah explore the nuanced world of cravings — what drives them, how they differ from binge or overeating urges, and why they're often more complicated than they seem. They discuss the physiological and emotional undercurrents behind cravings, from hormonal shifts to nervous system dysregulation, weaving in personal experiences — including Stef's two most memorable pregnancy cravings. The conversation unpacks how cravings show up differently for restrictors versus permitters, how appetite and craving aren't always the same thing, and what it looks like to approach cravings from a more regulated, self-led mindset. Rather than reducing cravings to something to fix or fear, this episode invites a deeper, more compassionate understanding of them — one that honors both biology and psychology.

JOIN THE ROOT & REWIRE MEMBERSHIPIn today's episode, I'm talking about why committing to long-term change is the key to conquering binge eating. When you're fully in it for the long haul (6 to 12 months), you're not stressed about timelines. You've got time to rewire your brain, heal your relationship with food, and become the unstoppable, badass version of yourself. This isn't a quick fix, it's about making sustainable change and showing up for yourself, no matter what.Clients who commit to the long term don't just make progress, they make SUSTAINING progress that lasts a lifetime. They get excited to put in the work, even when things get tough. They trust the process and show up consistently, which is why they conquer binge eating faster than those who try to rush it. You're not going to stop binge eating overnight, but with the right mindset and support, you'll look back in 6 or 12 months and be blown away by how far you've come.This journey isn't just about food. It's about evolving into the greatest version of yourself. Food becomes easy, your confidence skyrockets, and you start feeling like the real YOU again (instead of living a double life). This is about living a life where food no longer controls you.Key Takeaways:Why long-term commitment is key to conquering binge eating and seeing lasting change.How clients who commit for 6-12 months make progress faster than those looking for quick fixes.The importance of showing up for yourself through the ups and downs of the journey.How long-term coaching helps you evolve into your most confident, badass version.The life-changing impact of being all-in on your recovery and trusting the process.

Ever wonder why you keep reaching for food, even when you're not hungry?In this episode, I open up about the deeper layers of emotional and unwanted eating — the stuff we usually try to avoid or push down. I talk about how being curious (instead of judging ourselves) can really help us understand what's actually going on beneath the cravings.I share how your nervous system, the culture you grow up in, and even past experiences all come together to shape the way you eat. It's not just about willpower — there's so much more to the story.You'll hear some personal stories and examples as I walk through the biological, psychological, and environmental reasons we turn to food. I also dive into how fear plays a big role in your choices and why it's so important to surround yourself with the right kind of support — the people and communities who help you grow instead of keep you stuck.Here's what real transformation looks like: small, consistent steps, understanding your own unique metabolic blueprint, and even how hypnotherapy can be a powerful tool for change and shedding the layers of trauma, emotional dysregulations and limiting beliefs..Topics Covered:Curiosity Over Fear: Transforming Eating Habits Through Self-UnderstandingUnderstanding Cravings Through Biopsychosocial and Environmental FactorsUnderstanding the Complexities of Disordered Eating and TraumaInner Child Healing and Overcoming ResistanceUnderstanding Weight Struggles Beyond Diet and ExerciseJoin Make Peace With Food for Personal Growth and SupportEmbracing Change When Traditional Healing Methods FailThe Power of Community and Environment in Personal GrowthExploring Emotions and Uncovering Subconscious Patterns Through MeditationEmbrace Incremental Change and Join Our Supportive CommunityIf you've ever felt like food has power over you, I hope this conversation brings you comfort and inspiration.

Traditional eating disorder recovery advice tends to be harmful for autistic people. Many regulation techniques are often labeled as behaviors to be eliminated, which can lead to feelings of hopelessness. But there is another way! In today's episode, Livia speaks to Rob about his personal journey with binge eating disorder and how discovering his autism has helped him develop more effective coping strategies. We discuss the limitations of one-size-fits-all approaches to recovery, the concept of the “adaptive eating spectrum,” and the importance of forging your own path when it comes to living a meaningful life. Key Topics Discussed: The nuanced view of calorie counting as a potential self-regulation tool rather than always being harmful How walking can help anchor autistic people in safety Why traditional eating disorder treatment approaches often fail autistic individuals Impact of the pandemic on eating habits and mental health Viewing eating “disorders” as adaptive responses to a neurotypical world Developing personalized coping mechanisms that work for your unique nervous system

Have you noticed a pattern in your life where you use food to solve all the things? Whether you are cold, tired, behind schedule or intimidated or unsure or angry, does your brain say "should we eat something?" Even if you aren't hungry at all?This is exactly how emotional eating makes us act:  We find ourselves using the same action (eating) to respond to any kind of feeling rather than stopping to discern what's actually happening and choosing a response from the many available options.Well, my friend, you are not alone! Emotional eating is fairly common and "just trying to stop" is rarely successful.Join Georgie and Christina in today's episode, which is the third and final installment of our Emotion Regulation series as we cover some of the more advanced skills that we teach our clients to help them leave behind emotional eating and binge eating.Find Part 1 of the episode HERE.Find Part 2 of the episode HERE.Check out the graphic on Emotion Regulation tools here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZbhXbx4mmeuQKEYSAConnect with Georgie and the Confident Eaters Coaches: WebsiteFacebookInstagramHave you ever thought, "I know what to do, I just need to consistently do it"?

Did you know that 95% of diets fail because they ignore the root causes of cravings?Join me for this episode of the Make Peace with Food podcast, where I'm diving deep into why cravings happen and how diet culture might actually be making them worse.In this episode, I'm not talking about the usual “just use more willpower” kind of advice. Instead, I explain how cravings are connected to the way our biology, mind, and environment work together—and why diets almost always fail (only 5% of people actually succeed long-term!).I'll share how strict diet rules can trigger your stress response, making cravings even stronger. You'll also learn how our brain's reward system and even past trauma can play a big role in emotional eating. I break it all down in a simple, relatable way—so you can start to understand cravings as both a habit and a kind of addiction.The good news? You can rewire those patterns.

You're not alone, and healing is possible.If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right—eating well, exercising, pushing yourself—but your body just won't let go of fat, there's a reason.Your nervous system is either in Protection Mode (fight-or-flight) or Safety Mode (rest-and-digest)—and fat release only happens in Safety Mode. But if your body feels unsafe? It clings to fat, slows metabolism, and even triggers binge eating and self-sabotage.Think about it. You go through stress, and suddenly you're reaching for food you swore you wouldn't touch. You're not weak—it's biology. When your body is in survival mode, it's wired to conserve energy and seek quick fuel. That's why unwanted eating behaviors feel so out of control sometimes.But here's the kicker: fat loss isn't just about burning calories—it's about making your body feel safe enough to let go.So the real question is—are you pushing your body into Protection Mode without even realizing it? Because if you are, no amount of dieting or exercise is going to override survival mode.It's time to stop fighting your body and start working with it.So if you're ready to Break Free from Emotional and Binge Eating, download my FREE eBook: Calm the Craving: 7 Steps to Break the Emotional and Binge Eating Battle.In this guide, you'll learn how to regulate your nervous system to eliminate cravings, make peace with food, and allow the weight to naturally release itself.Download your free copy here: www.sherryshaban.com/calmYou deserve to experience food freedom, I can't wait to see you inside!Join my Facebook Community here: www.facebook.com/groups/makepeacewithfoodofficialBook a Food Freedom Strategy Call with me www.calendly.com/sherryshaban/makepeacewithfoodSubscribe to the podcast so you never miss an episode!

In this episode, Stef and Sarah are talking about body image fluctuations. They kick things off with Stef admitting she's been in a bit of a funk lately, which has her feeling some body image blues. They chat about how our moods can totally mess with how we see our bodies—like when you're tired or anxious, everything feels heavier and more irritating. Stef talks about the importance of recognizing these mood shifts and working on regulating them before trying to 'fix' anything else. They also tackle the topic of 'floods'—those visceral reactions to body image triggers—and share some strategies for managing them when they hit. They also highlight the confusing mix of emotions when weight changes feel different depending on the context. Sarah shares an amusing anecdote about feeling self-conscious in a string bikini.  Stef touches on her past struggle with 'reverse body dysmorphia,' where she clung to an outdated image of her younger self. They wrap up with some thoughts on how seasons influence our body image and the power of gradual exposure. Overall, this episode is a mix of raw honesty, empathy, and practical tips for anyone navigating the ever-changing landscape of body image. Join our support community.

So many of us believe that what we eat or how/how much we exercise are the most importnt drivers of weight loss.  But the reality is momentum and the compound effect are far more impactful.  What pulls us out of momentum are "little quits" - you still want to lose weight or stop emotionally eating, but you start to doubt you'll be able to hit your goal for a particular week or month.  You unintentionally pull back, because the underlying thought is "I won't hit this goal, so why bother keep trying?" Usually we'll follow it up with a consolation thought, like: "I'll start over Monday," or "I'll start over next month."  Today we explore this concept and how to stop the "little quits" so that you can build momentum and actually enjoy your life while losing weight.  Keep listening for more.  And when you're ready to stop emotionally eating and create the life and body you crave, I can help.  Schedule your free consultation at: www.bodyyoucrave.com/btc    Chapters (00:00:02) - Hungry for Love(00:00:26) - What Are They That Slow Down Your Weight Loss?(00:06:21) - We Give Up on Our Goal For the Year(00:13:19) - You Don't Have to Be Perfect to Win(00:18:33) - 3 Tips for How to Stop the Little Quits(00:23:59) - How to Love Your Body and Yourself(00:26:54) - Long TED Talk(00:29:24) - Binge Eating and Relationships: Break the Cycle

Did you know that regulating your nervous system can be the key to overcoming self-sabotage, transforming your metabolism, and making peace with food?In today's episode of the Make Peace with Food Podcast, we will focus on understanding how self-sabotage, negative self-talk, and fear shape our lives. I discuss how crucial it is to regulate the nervous system, which helps shift us from a state of protection into one of safety. When we do this, we can actually change our metabolism, thoughts, and overall well-being. Fear, instead of being something that holds us back, can become a guide – showing us opportunities and helping us become more aware.I also introduce some powerful techniques to make lasting changes, like healing the inner child, managing metabolism, and boosting emotional intelligence. I show how using your breath can help control emotions, leading to healthier, more conscious decisions. Topics Covered:Understanding Fear and Shifting from Protection to Safety ModeThe Importance of Sitting Quietly Amidst Daily DistractionsExploring Inner Child Healing and Metabolism in MasterclassUnderstanding Weight Loss Through Nervous System and Stress ManagementThe Struggle Between Emotional Eating and Hormonal BalanceTransforming Eating Habits Through Emotional Regulation and Self-DiscoveryTransformative Yearlong Program for Gut Health and Personal GrowthInvesting in Personal Growth Through Coaching and Self-WorthHarnessing Breathwork for Emotional Regulation and Stress ReliefIf you've ever felt like food has power over you, I hope this conversation brings you comfort and inspiration.

If you want to stop binge eating or recover from bulimia, then we must address the deeper emotional roots of disordered eating. Mary sits down for a Part 2 with eating disorder psychologist, Dr. Anita Johnston, author of Eating in the Light of the Moon. In Part 1, we talked about the spiritual side of eating disorder recovery. Now in part 2, we zoom into the emotional layer beneath bulimia and binge eating. Dr. Johnston sheds light on the deeper emotional roots of disordered eating, especially the often-overlooked role of repressed anger and how learning to process it can be the key to lasting recovery. You will learn about... - common personality traits of those who struggle with disordered eating - the role of ANGER in eating disorder recovery - the ONE skill you need to effectively process anger - how storytelling and metaphors can help us heal from an eating disorder - how to address emotional patterns that lie beneath bulimia and binge eatingDr. Johnston also shares how her very first psychology professor—THE Viktor Frankl, the author of Man's Search for Meaning—inspired her approach to eating disorder recovery. Remember: Eating disorders are not about food. So to recover, we must explore the deeper layers of our struggle. Get Dr. Anita's free Food Metaphor Guide here. Anita Johnston, Ph.D., is a Depth Psychologist, Certified Eating Disorder Specialist, and author of Eating in the Light of the Moon: How Women Can Transform Their Relationships with Food Through Myth, Metaphor, and Storytelling, which has been published in seven languages.

What if it's not a lack of willpower holding you back but your body's way of trying to protect you?In this episode, we dive into why you self-sabotage, how negative self-talk creeps in, and what it really means to regulate your emotions.With everything I've learned over the years in health and fitness, I've come to see that willpower isn't the real issue—fear is. But not fear in the way you usually think of it. Fear is actually a form of intuition—your body's way of protecting you and helping you grow.We're exploring how fear, anger, sadness, and joy are all connected and how fear specifically affects your solar plexus and adrenal system—two key players in how your body responds to stress.We also get into how our breath and nervous system are deeply linked. When you're stuck in Protection Mode, it can mess with your metabolism and spike your cortisol levels. That's why I focus on helping you move from a fear-based mindset into a sense of safety—through practices like breathwork and inner child healing.This episode is all about transforming how you respond to fear and learning to work with our instincts, not against them.Topics Covered:Understanding Fear and Shifting from Protection to Safety ModeThe Importance of Sitting Quietly Amidst Daily ChaosExploring Inner Child Healing and Metabolism in MasterclassThe Impact of Nervous System on Weight Loss EffortsThe Challenges of Emotional Eating and Hormonal InfluencesAchieving Sustainable Weight Loss Through Emotional Regulation and AutonomyThe Nervous System's Role in Emotional and Memory PatternsIf you've ever felt like food has power over you, I hope this conversation brings you comfort and inspiration.

In this evidence-packed episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling analyze a brand-new clinical trial comparing 4:3 intermittent fasting versus daily caloric restriction over 12 months. The hosts break down the surprising finding that intermittent fasting participants lost significantly more weight (17 pounds vs 11 pounds) while experiencing a dramatic improvement in their relationship with food, shown by a remarkable two-point reduction in binge eating scores compared to almost no change in the calorie restriction group. They explain why fasting showed better long-term adherence (only 19% dropout rate versus 30% in the calorie counting group) despite both approaches creating the same weekly calorie deficit. The episode highlights how the fasting group was nearly 2.5 times more likely to achieve clinically significant 10% weight loss, and offers practical guidance for adapting this research-backed approach to your own fasting schedule. The hosts also discuss how results might be even better with increased protein intake and resistance training—two factors absent from the original study.

I recently said goodbye to my FURST baby, Chuy. I miss him so much, but his spirit will forever live on because he's the reason I started this podcast! He taught me so much about life.

Did you know that your childhood experiences and unconscious beliefs shape your relationship with food?In this episode, we dive deep into emotional regulation and those sneaky unconscious beliefs that often trace back to childhood. I'm joined by two incredible guests, Lucy and Sandra, who open up about their personal journeys and the emotional layers tied to their relationship with food.We talk about how stress, past experiences, and old programming can drive our eating behaviors—often without us even realizing it. Lucy shares how learning to forgive herself and let go of perfectionism led to big shifts in her health. And Sandra reflects on how moving away from external validation helped her finally see food as nourishment instead of something to feel guilty about.This conversation is raw, real, and packed with insight. We explore everything from nervous system regulation and inner child work to the importance of self-awareness when it comes to breaking free from self-sabotaging patterns. If you've ever felt stuck in a cycle with food or frustrated by your own habits, this episode is here to show you that change is absolutely possible—with compassion, curiosity, and a little inner work.Topics Covered:Understanding Self-Sabotage Through Unconscious Beliefs and Nervous SystemThe Impact of Early Childhood Experiences on Emotional DevelopmentInner Child Work and Overcoming Emotional EatingFinding Freedom and Self-Acceptance in Food ChoicesMindful Eating and Overcoming Emotional Triggers with KindnessTransforming Relationship With Food Through Self-Awareness and NutritionTransformative Power of Self-Discovery and Emotional HealingInner Child Work and Overcoming Childhood MindsetsInvest in Personal Transformation Through Coaching and SupportUncovering Childhood Fears Through Hypnotherapy and Self-ReflectionIf you've ever felt like food has power over you, I hope this conversation brings you comfort and inspiration. You're not alone, and healing is possible.If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right—eating well, exercising, pushing yourself—but your body just won't let go of fat, there's a reason.Your nervous system is either in Protection Mode (fight-or-flight) or Safety Mode (rest-and-digest)—and fat release only happens in Safety Mode. But if your body feels unsafe? It clings to fat, slows metabolism, and even triggers binge eating and self-sabotage.Think about it. You go through stress, and suddenly you're reaching for food you swore you wouldn't touch. You're not weak—it's biology. When your body is in survival mode, it's wired to conserve energy and seek quick fuel. That's why unwanted eating behaviors feel so out of control sometimes.But here's the kicker: fat loss isn't just about burning calories—it's about making your body feel safe enough to let go.So the real question is—are you pushing your body into Protection Mode without even realizing it? Because if you are, no amount of dieting or exercise is going to override survival mode.It's time to stop fighting your body and start working with it.So if you're ready to Break Free from Emotional and Binge Eating, download my FREE eBook: Calm the Craving: 7 Steps to Break the Emotional and Binge Eating Battle.In this guide, you'll learn how to regulate your nervous system to eliminate cravings, make peace with food, and allow the weight to naturally release itself.Join my Facebook Community here: ⁠www.facebook.com/groups/makepeacewithfoodofficial⁠Book a Food Freedom Strategy Call with me ⁠www.calendly.com/sherryshaban/makepeacewithfood⁠Subscribe to the podcast so you never miss an episode! ⁠Spotify⁠, ⁠iTunes⁠,⁠ YouTube⁠Share your biggest takeaway and tag me on social media @makepeacewithfood

But I want you to know... you are safe without binge eating and you don't need it in your life anymore.This episode is all about showing you that releasing binge eating doesn't have to feel like you're losing a part of yourself it's about stepping into a version of you that's free, empowered, and truly in control.Key Takeaways:Why most people are afraid of letting go of binge eating, even though it's something they want to overcome.How binge eating becomes a comfort zone and why it's scary to release something you've held onto for so long.Why you are safe without binge eating and how to shift your mindset to trust that you don't need it in your life.How to release the fear of conquering binge eating and step into a new, empowered version of yourself.The process of moving past the emotional attachment to binge eating and finding true freedom.

But this just makes the urges even more intense. I dive into why this strategy only sets you up for more frustration and how you can start shifting that.Second, if you do know what to do but struggle to implement it, you're caught in a loop of "just one last time" thinking. Maybe you tell yourself to have a cookie midday but end up choosing something you think is 'healthier' instead, even though your craving is still there. Sound familiar? I'll show you why this is a key piece of the puzzle when it comes to ending binge eating for good.Ending binge eating isn't easy, but it's simpler once you have the right tools, coaching, and support. With the right guidance and community, you can feel less alone in this process and start feeling empowered to make lasting changes.Key Takeaways:Why staying busy and keeping trigger foods out of the house isn't enough to stop binge eating and what to do instead.How knowing what to do is just the first step & why implementing change is the real challenge.How small decisions, like allowing yourself to have the foods you want, play a huge role in breaking the binge cycle.The importance of support, coaching, and community in making lasting changes and feeling less alone on the journey to a binge-free life.Why ending binge eating is simpler with the right tools and guidance, even if it feels challenging at first.CONNECT WITH LORNA:---> Instagram @lorna_bingeeatingcoach---> Tiktok @lorna_bingeeatingcoach
