Back to EpisodesOops, I Binge Ate Again… (& How I Got Out of That Cycle)
Description
Think about all the times you started your day with: “I’m serious today. I’m not eating sugar. I’m staying on track.”
And then somehow, by the afternoon, you’re standing in the kitchen eating the very thing you promised yourself you wouldn’t?
Then comes the guilt.
The frustration.
The “Why did I do that AGAIN?”
And the promise that tomorrow will be different.
I know this cycle because I lived it.
For a long time, I would wake up each morning determined not to eat candy or sugar that day. I genuinely believed I was going to make a different choice. But almost every afternoon, I would find myself binge eating the very foods I had spent the entire day trying to avoid.
And then I’d start the cycle all over again the next morning.
Oops… I did it again.
In this episode, I’m taking you into what that experience actually felt like for me, not just the eating, but the constant mental battle that happened before, during, and after it.
And more importantly, I’m sharing some of the things I wish I had understood sooner.
Because if you’re stuck in a cycle of restricting certain foods, thinking about them constantly, eventually giving in, overeating or binge eating, feeling guilty, and then promising yourself you’ll “be better tomorrow,” the answer probably isn’t to try harder.
There may be something underneath the cycle that needs your attention.
I’ll share a couple of things you can start doing right away if you recognize yourself in my story, so you can begin stepping out of the “restrict → crave → binge → regret → restrict” cycle.
