Ep #306: Panicking When Feeling an Urge to Binge

When you’re deciding to eat, or deciding to eat more, what are you thinking about? How good it will taste? How pleasurable it will be? How good you will feel? That’s all fine to think about but, is that all that will happen if you eat?   For many people, when they’re deciding to eat, they’re only telling themselves about what will happen at first, a.k.a. the beginning of the story. But what about what will happen at the end? The end matters, it’s coming, and if it’s likely not going to turn out well, you need to be thinking about that. You need to tell yourself the whole story of eating that food or of eating more, all the way until the end.   In this episode, I’m going in depth about why it’s so important that you’re telling yourself the whole story and what can happen if you don’t. This is going to be a really helpful tool for you to use so listen in to learn about it and how to use it.   Interested in working with me?

Kandace was like so many people who binge eat.   She felt like she was out of control and couldn’t stop herself from eating so much, she believed that there was something wrong with her and that this was just how she would be forever, and her excessive eating negatively impacted herself and her life in so many ways.   For years, she tried diet after diet to try and get herself to eat better but it never worked.   It wasn’t until she worked on her mind that everything changed for her.   Now, she thinks like such a different person. She thinks differently about herself, her body, food, and because she does, her relationship with them has changed immensely.   She is a such different person now compared to who she was last year when she began The Stop Binge Eating Program.   And when you listen to today’s episode,you’re going to hear all about it. You’re going to hear about her first experience with Weight Watchers, what it was like for her when she was bingeing, what was the most impactful thing she did that stopped her binge eating, and what she and her life are like now.   She is such an inspiration and I hope that if you’re feeling doubt about yourself and what you’re capable of, that she can help you believe in yourself even just a little bit more.   Interested in working with me?
