The days are gone when eating disorders and body image struggles were secrets to keep. Nowadays, people talk about them openly, which a beautiful thing. But if you aren't prepared, those conversations can get awkward, or worse yet, start disagreements when you were only asking for some help and support. 

Join Georgie and Christina in this episode to hear how we guide our clients through chatting about your experience with friends, your doctor, your family, partner, and more. You will hear how to be authentic without "dumping" on others, how to ask for support without making your recovery *their* responsibility, and more.

Are you a long term calorie counter? Then you may want to consider whether it is helping or hurting your journey to breaking up with binge eating. What we have seen with clients is that calorie counting and binge eating are linked, and can unfortunately perpetuate the pendulum swing of binge and restrict.

Maybe you have used calorie counting as a way to manage your weight or feel more in control around food, but instead it has made you feel less in control and more disconnected from your body as a result. If you have listened to this podcast before, then you know that we like to help clients feel more connected to their needs, both physical and emotional. We help clients develop these kinds of skills every day! 

With real client (and personal) examples of how to go through this process, join Georgie and Christina to take your first steps of breaking up with calorie counting!

Right after an overeating incident or binge, once of the most helpful things to do is look back and consider what lessons we want to take from the experience. Maybe you discovered a situation you don't want to put yourself in again, or a choice you don't want to repeat. Or, perhaps your regrettable incident revealed a supportive routine, which when absent (like a good night's sleep) contributes to eating difficulty. So you chastise and remind yourself that you know better. But before long, you find yourself squarely seated in the same pool of regret, having been tripped up by the identical situation. Is there a way out of this frustration? Absolutely. Let's get to it.

Sometimes we need accountability. Sometimes we need specific strategies, new tools, or a bit of help. If you want help to become a confident, sensible eater with 1:1 personalized attention, sign up at ConfidentEaters.com.

Today you'll hear Georgie and real life client Rachel in a conversation about what Rachel can do to escape the "hamster wheel" of swearing she will not binge, but then doing it one more time. What can she think about differently? What can she tell herself? As it turns out, there are many opportunities for Rachel to try something new and helpful, even though her environment and history have created numerous challenges which she cannot eliminate.

"I'll get started... after a snack." "This is so overwhelming... I need candy." Life contains onerous tasks, and they can cause dread and anxiety even when we haven't begun them. Because avoiding a chore presents its own drawn out emotional torture, binge eating or procrastineating entices us to escape BOTH the task and the heavy guilt we feel for stalling. But as we know, binge eating or emotional eating are not perfect solutions, because they come at steep costs to our self-esteem and wellness. Let's explore real life tools you can use to save yourself from procrastination hell while breaking up with binge eating.

"Now's my chance." "I'll be better tomorrow." "One last time." Thoughts like these can make you feel just a little more reactive, a little more tense, a little less settled. And frankly, they also make you more prone overeating or binging. In this episode, you'll learn to recognize when you slip into a scarcity mindset. More importantly, you'll learn how to prevent it and how to gently help yourself out of it.

The sinking feeling of realizing you made a mistake can be awful. It can lead to panic, fear, embarrassment, and often, binge eating. Presumably you are already trying hard to not make mistakes, so what else can be done? A lot. Here are five precise things to do after you make a mistake to help you get back to your feet emotionally without bingeing. Ideally, try to do them right away. However, if you forget initially and do them later, they still work!

The following sequence of events may be all too familiar: You want to push yourself to do something different with food - maybe order a carb, eat the dressing, or enjoy dessert out in the open instead of in secret. So you gather your strength, recite a mantra or two, take the leap... and then feel mega guilty afterwards. What gives? This is what you wanted to do, and now instead of glowing with pride, you're feeling like hell over it. 

In this episode, we'll talk about this phenomenon, why it happens, and how to manage it so it never gets in your way again. Full steam ahead, you can smash that guilt and keep stepping forwards in your journey of breaking up with binge eating. 

"It's frustrating," says Kaitlyn. Who wouldn't be frustrated? Watching your mind circle around the next opportunity to eat like a moth doing laps around a garden light...is hardly the fully-lived life most of us want to be experiencing. Let's look at how we can help Kaitlyn. 

Kaitlyn has already made some progress, including a recent win with handling a stressful day without a binge. She's worried that it will be a single outlier experience, though, and wants more strategies to help her feel in control of her eating, as opposed to the sense that eating is in control of her.  Grab a pen because there are a lot of tips and strategies in this one hour conversation!

When it comes to problems in our lives (such as disordered eating or excess weight), we can create full-time jobs for ourselves just thinking about them. We can spend endless hours considering how this problem has worsened or changed over time, what contributed to it, whom can be blamed, and how fiercely we want things to be different. To make progress, we know that dwelling on it has to give way to action... but which action is the right one to take? We spell it out in this bite-sized episode. Here's a hint: Trying harder and beating ourselves up are not the helpful actions we are going for.
