092. Why Keeping Your Binge ‘Trigger’ Foods Out of The House Makes Bingeing Worse

I wish that overcoming binge eating was as simple as keeping your binge trigger foods out of the house. I think I speak for us all collectively when I say, if it were really that simple, we wouldn’t have gone through the struggle with bingeing for as long as we did.  But it's just not that simple. And actually, keeping your binge trigger foods out of the house actually makes bingeing worse. It’s like a bandaid solution that’s not actually addressing the root cause of why you’re feeling out of control around those foods in the first place. I’m all about tackling the root causes, so let’s dive into this topic!  In this episode, we chat about:  The reasons why keeping your binge trigger foods out of the house is making bingeing worse  Fears about keeping those foods in the house  How to make the process of making peace with food less overwhelming  6 tips to make keeping binge trigger foods in the house more manageable  Links: 🍪 Join the Food Freedom Circle Membership 💗 Details about 1:1 private food freedom coaching support  🍦 Take the Free ‘Why Do You Binge Eat’ Quiz  📱 Connect with Jenn on Instagram (@the.intuitive.nutritionist) 🎧 Podcast Show Notes If you’re enjoying the Intuitively You Podcast, please be sure to leave a rating or review!

It can feel beyond frustrating to live in the diet culture infested world that we live in. Adding in the layers of healthism, elitism, discrimination, racism, and more can make it feel like a nightmare to attain society’s unrealistic ideals of “health.” In this episode, our guest Shana Spence and I break down these big systemic problems, shed light on them, and talk about how you can overcome them.
