Included in this episode:
Binge eating will not make your problems go away.
- Guilt and shame.
- It takes you away from actually achieving your goals. You set a goal, self sabotage and end up really frustrated with yourself.
What is binge eating?
- What is overeating? There is a difference.
There are practical solutions and of course emotional solutions too:
- You have to actually prepare your meals and plan ahead.
- You have to hit your macros, hit your protein, fiber, veggies and fruit.
- Figuring out triggers - trigger foods and events.
- Volume eating to feel full and satiated.
- Slowing down eating, chewing food, not distracted eating.
- BUT ALEXIS…..you have to treat this like you would any other medical issue and actually treat it. It won’t get better by ignoring it. Yes it’s work and yes it’s hard but you can do it. The sooner to get on top of it, the easier it will be.
- Emotional:
- Therapy, journaling, finding the root
- Finding the root: a lot of people think that there is one specific thing that is wrong with them when usually it's a combination of things. Back nutrition over years and years compiling on top of emotions leaves you feeling both physically and emotionally HUNGRY.
- Instead of trying to figure yourself out or “hack yourself” focus on creating daily habits around nutrition maintenance but emotional maintenance. Approach it in the same way.
- Course correction - is usually a huge therapeutic recommendation. Validate your feelings, feel them in your body/the place you are feeling them, go do something else other than binge eating. Journal, reflect.
What binge eating won't do for you...
Let me tell you something that helped me and many of my clients:
You can choose to be uncomfortable once or you can choose to be twice as uncomfortable because you binged. Because no matter what you have to deal with that discomfort. And no matter what, discomfort is going to arise.
It’s going to be hard either way. So what hard do you choose, choose your hard - binging and having to deal with both the feelings and the binge and the feelings after the binge or dealing with it from the get go, planning ahead and implementing maintenance practices to set yourself up for success. You may have to remind yourself of this everyday. Consistency and repetition will affirm the choices that you are making. And through that consistency and repetition you will build trust with yourself and have proof of the process that you can break the cycle and you can move forward. You can achieve your goals.
