In this episode, hosts Stefanie and Sarah dive into the complexities surrounding overeating, especially in the context of recovery from binge eating. They discuss the difference between binge eating and overeating, and explore how habits, stress, and emotional regulation play into our eating behaviors. Using real-life anecdotes and client experiences, they offer compassionate insights into understanding and managing overeating without demonizing it. Listeners will also learn about the psychological and physiological factors that can contribute to this behavior, including the role of hormones and histories of ED. They also speak to those who suffer from chronic overeating patterns in the absence of binge or an ED. Join Stefanie and Sarah as they unpack these nuanced topics and provide a supportive space for anyone struggling with overeating.
