Behind The Binge

It's February which means people are just over a month into their new year's resolutions. Because of this, a lot of my clients are feeling influenced by before and after pics or diet updates on social media.

If you're on a journey to heal your relationship with food, this can throw you off path. Feeling triggered by weight loss content can re-activate a binge cycle. So in today's episode, I'm sharing 4 questions to ask yourself in order to reflect on why you're feeling influenced by diet culture online and how to begin to re-align back with your here-and-now goals.

Today we are going to be exploring the possibility of a binge freedom hierarchy of needs. Similar to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, some things in binge recovery are more critical to address before others. Meaning, you can't try to meditate to cope with your emotions on an empty stomach.

You will learn how to prioritize what needs are not being met and why you may feel stuck at times knowing what you "should" be doing but not having the motivation to do it.

Today we are joined by my past group coaching client, Emily H. Emily was part of behind the binge academy for 6 months starting in February 2022.

When she first started, she struggled with the all-or-nothing mentality. She was big on healthy eating and macro counting, down to every gram, and working out excessively, but then would find herself on the other end of the spectrum bingeing, purging, and isolating.

Can you relate?

On her application for behind the binge academy, she mentioned her goals. She said she would like to break free from bingeing and obsessing over food. She wanted a balanced life without being focused on perfection.

I'm so excited to share her story with you today so you can how she accomplished exactly that! From bingeing and restricting, and bikini competitions, to a balanced, healthful life of food freedom.

I want to remind you that behind the binge academy is open for enrollment RIGHT NOW. The academy is my signature group coaching program following my proven framework to give you everything you need to find binge freedom.
