The Many Reasons Why You Binge Eat and Redefining What Restriction Is

Happy Satiated Sunday! 

I remember during my binge eating years that at times I would be like, "What is going onnnnn!?!?!"

Binge eating can be confusing and disorienting. It can at times be an out-of-body experience. Yet, sometimes, the emotions and sensations showing up in your body may feel like too much (I know at times they were for me) that you don't want to be IN your body. 

I often like to rename binge eating to protective eating. This kind of eating behavior is trying to protect and support you in many different ways. 

In this week’s episode, I share what exactly defines a binge eating experience, 4 leading triggers preceding a binge, and redefine restriction and that it doesn't only have to come from food.

We cannot change what we're not aware of and so I hope this episode cultivates new awareness for you about what may be preceding some of your binge eating patterns. 

With Compassion and Empathy,
