Ep 095 - End Binge Eating

<p>Welcome to How to Love Your Body - on today’s episode we will be talking about binge eating and how FOOD is not the culprit here. Here we explain what is instead and how to begin healing it.</p> <p>Many people believe that the reason they binge is because of sugar, carbs, candy, chips, bread, whatever it is that tends to “trigger” someone. </p> <p>And we get that because that was US! We thought every food other than meat, vegetables and fruit were to blame quite frankly.

Why did one bite always turn into a binge? It must be the foods! This didn’t happen with veggies or salad!</p> <p>So we would try to NOT eat these things, if we could just avoid the food, the bingeing would be solved. But it was inevitable, we would give into one of these foods and BOOM we were back in the restrict/ binge cycle all over again.</p> <p>If you are trying to AVOID the foods you normally binge on you are actually putting more fuel on the fire. The restriction and mindset around the foods you binge on is what causes the bingeing, it is never the food itself.</p> <p>Here are the steps you need to take in order to release the power that these certain foods have over you:</p> <p>Grab your free worksheet at <a href='http://www.thebodylovesociety.com/95'>www.thebodylovesociety.com/95</a> so you can go through these steps with the specific foods that YOU struggle with so you can find some peace with them.</p> <p>Step 1: Identify what the foods are that you struggle with - is it entire food groups?

Get it all down.</p> <p>Step 2: Look at these food groups, specific foods and tastes and assess how you’ve treated these foods in the past - have you cut them out for certain meal plans, do you see them as “bad foods” that you shouldn’t ever be eating, do you feel guilt when you give in to these foods?
