18 Dec How to Stop Binge Eating

It’s not your fault that you have categorized foods as good or bad.
Feel guilty after eating “off limit” foods
Feel the need to “punish yourself” after over eating

Turn to food for comfort
Are completely unaware of what your body needs or what eating healthy really even means

The idea that if you don’t lose weight quickly enough – what are you even doing

All of these are Learned Behaviors

You were not born with these view points or perspectives,
There is no genetic component

These ideas were modeled to you from your environment, what you were exposed to and what you were taught.

Think about it…
From the magazines that litter the grocery check out

To labeling on food packaging
Commercials
Recipe Titles
Fitness Programs
Social Media
As well as our parents and childhood experiences

You are TAUGHT to think this way.
This is the stuff that is blasted in our faces on a constant basis

You are never cheating or wrecking your diet.
This language is only aggravating the problem.

Diets prescribe good and bad foods
The only bad foods are the ones you are allergic to or are spoiled.

Taking control of your health on the other end does not mean eating bacon, cheese and mayonnaise for breakfast because they are “Keto approved” foods

This is the extremist thinking and will only swing you into binging on all the non approved foods.

You are literally being set up for failure on any restrictive diet because it is unrealistic to stick to for any length of time. So when you stop doing it, you go back to being careless with your nutrition. Gain the weight back, feel awful and have to start over again.

That is why the diet industry is SO lucrative. You have to keep going back on it!

I want to share with you a secret to move through food guilt… this may surprise you.

It’s not more willpower, self control or discipline.
It’s giving yourself PERMISSION

To stop binge eating you have to stop dieting in response to your binge.

Good News!!
You CAN rewrite your story

Anything that was learned can be unlearned

Does it take time?
Sure does

Will you have a better overall quality of life and mental space for important things
Sure Do!

Imagine entering the Holidays without this fear around food

Diet culture messaging only gets worse in January
Start Taking Control of your Life Now and stop letting diet culture beat you up and steal your Mental and Physical health.
