Episode 34: Breaking the Binge Cycle: How One Pause Changes Everything
Description
The truth about binging isn't about willpower or discipline but understanding the pain beneath the pattern and learning to pause before acting on urges.
• The Plus One Theory is about finishing stronger than you started
• Binge behaviors aren't weakness – they're pain responses
• The power is in the pause – delaying rather than fighting the binge
• Five steps of Delay the Binge: pause, support, structure, insight, and helping others
• Maintenance requires devotion, not just discipline
• Simple tools like the two-column journal help identify triggers
• Setting a 60-second timer can interrupt the binge cycle
• True healing comes from asking "why the pain" not "why the binge"
