Episode 50 Celebration

Unbelievable, we’re at episode 50! When I started this podcast, I questioned if anyone would listen, but here we are. Thank you for being part of this journey. Your support means the world, and I love you all. Now, let’s talk about something close to my heart – binge eating.

Five Mistakes When Trying to Stop Binge Eating

For episode 50, let’s spice things up and discuss the five mistakes to avoid when trying to stop binge eating. These are the things I wish someone had told me during my recovery journey.

1. Eating All Trigger Foods at Once: Bringing trigger foods into your house is crucial, but be smart about it. Pair them with safe foods initially to build confidence. Don’t feel pressured to eat them all at once. Start small, build gradually, and believe in yourself.

2. Starting Too Big: Don’t overwhelm yourself by starting with massive goals. Address behaviors around food first. Start small, focus on achievable goals, and celebrate those wins. Confidence grows when you conquer smaller challenges.

3. Seeking Results Over Lifestyle Changes: While wanting to lose weight is valid, shift your focus to lifestyle changes. If you eat well, move in a way that feels good, and take care of your body, your weight will naturally align with where it should be. It’s about the journey, not just the destination.

4. Not Reflecting After Binges: Reflection is key. After a binge, ask yourself what triggered it, when the urge started, and how you reacted. Learning from your experiences empowers you to navigate similar situations better in the future.

5. Discrediting Small Wins: Stop discrediting those small wins – 24 hours without a binge, enjoying an Oreo without spiraling, or having a candy bar without guilt. Celebrate these victories because they accumulate into bigger achievements, getting you closer to food freedom.

I know how incredible you are. Celebrate yourself, reflect, and learn. This journey is about growth, and you’re worth every effort. If you’re here, you’re trying, and that’s a win. Believe in yourself, you’ve got this. Thanks for being part of the Food Freedom Lab journey. Sending you the biggest virtual hug.
