Beyond The Binge

In this episode we discuss how to identify a binge using the sandwich technique (no pun intended). We also discuss how to start gaining freedom from binge eating by facing it as opposed to running away and hiding from it. 

Sports is an amazing thing to be involved in from a young age, but sometimes even the best ideas  introduce the biggest monsters in our life. Natalie was a dancer since the age of 3, unfortunately too much emphasis on a certain physique coupled with the wrong coaching narrative created her own rebellious binging monster. One birthday she had enough and decided to face that monster. She decided to go on her journey and ended up overcoming that monster in her early 30s. Now she has her entire life to focus on what she wants to do next. This is a story of how a wonderful woman turned a tragedy into a quest for self-discovery and an opportunity to discover a path that will inevitably lead her to the woman she was always meant to be. 

Nancy's story is beyond inspiring, she had tried so many diets in the past and lost up to 70 lbs. When the weight started creeping up again she realized that this was no longer a nutrition only problem. That's when she reached out and learned how to take control not only of her eating habits and heal her relationship with food, but also of her mental narrative and her relationship with herself. 

Aisha's story is one of the most inspirational I have ever heard. She went from low point to lower but still persisted and didn't give up, she took her lowest point and used it to learn more about herself and gain freedom from food. 

You must listen to her story! Enjoy. 

In this episode we discuss a common strategy used by many who struggle with binge eating and are trying to lose weight. Should we restrict foods we normally binge on? Does it work? How come others are so successful with it but not me?

In this episode we discuss two very important qualities of the mind that work against you when struggling with binge eating. 

Binge eating is a battle fought in the mind, but how can we ever win it if we have no idea how the mind works?

After listening to this episode you will have a much better understanding of how your mind works. 

I used to wake up every morning asking myself "how can I overcome binging" "how can I stop smoking" "how can I start being more productive" "how can I stop being so reactive"

Until I came across this technique. 

We often say "just start" but we forget to ask "well what's the best way to start?". 

Because how we start can increase our chances of success or failure. It can also affect how long it takes to get there. 

I've learned that there is a simple HIGHLY effective habit that can be used as a starting point for anyone regardless of what they're trying to achieve or overcome. It works like a charm if implemented properly. 

I use this with myself and my clients on a regular basis.

I challenge you to do it: twice a day, morning and night. Only takes 2 minutes.

"Enough is enough, I'm sick and tired of binge eating. Where do I start?" 
This question can be the beginning of the end when coupled with another one:
"How can I use my resources to overcome binging".
In this episode I talk about the top 4 resources we have and how to use them efficiently in our journey to overcome binge eating. 

In this episode I share my first 2021 slump and how I recovered from it. Being stuck in slumps or ruts (low points) is very normal. How long we get stuck there depends on our perception of it and the strategies we use to get up again. In this episode I share mine. 

In this episode we discuss the 2 keys required to stop binge eating so we can gain freedom through being in control of our actions. Binge eating is a behaviour that turns into an automatic habit, there's 2 important keys in overcoming any negative habit. We discuss them in this episode.
