In this episode we’ll discuss a few core thought patterns that sabotage people faster than anything else. Especially when it comes to binge eating and food addiction, we've found that these same 4 patterns show up for almost EVERYONE.

Understanding these thought patterns is important because it's a big part of what makes a long-term, sustainable recovery from binge eating and food addiction possible. I noticed that when people don't shift these thoughts, they relapse far more often than people who do, and they also take much longer to heal. In other words, listening to this talk has the potential to save your future self a lot of time and energy.

So here's how we'll do this ...

Over the next 2 weeks, we'll cover this topic in depth. This episode of the podcast is Part 1, where we'll explore these 4 thought patterns. Then you'll get to see over the week which ones are most common in your own mind. You'll know which ones to work on.

Then, watch for our next podcast, Part 2, where we’ll focus on ways to shift these thought patterns immediately (often, instantaneous in the moment), so your recovery process can be peaceful, efficient, and drama-free.

On this edition of the podcast, we talk about control.

The topic of control MUST be addressed if you've struggled with binge eating for years, and especially if you keep asking yourself, "Why am I so out of control?"

I've found that mastering this "control" element is one of the most important keys to ending binge eating. It's definitely the complete *opposite* of how most people operate, and for me, (growing up as the classic Type A, overachiever, easily addicted and obsessive personality) this has been one of my most important life lessons.

In this edition of the podcast, we'll be talking about setting yourself up for success in the New Year ... and how to avoid the self-sabotage that tends to come a few months after the New Year.

(We won't be talking about typical, conventional New Year's resolution setting, like setting SMART goals or finding accountability buddies, etc. We're talking specifically about how to make sustainable, deep change.)

We'll be talking about 3 main steps, since we often see that most people skip the first two steps, and then end up in self-sabotage as a result.

This edition of the podcast is specifically for people who have a lot of trouble sticking to diets, and find themselves bingeing whenever they fall off the wagon. If you've found yourself dieting on and off for years, and self-sabotaging every time, we created this for you.

In this talk, Shahar (our mindset coach) and I will cover:

- Why the self-sabotage after dieting happens and how to prevent it

- When diets are sustainable, and when they aren't

- The relationship between dieting and binge eating

- When it feels like you're fighting yourself around food (one part of your brain is fully dedicated to your goals, while the other part just wants to binge and sabotages your efforts)

- How to give yourself structure around food, without food rules or diets

- How self-trust around food is built, and how you can start

Today we'll expand more deeply on the topic, "The Pleasure Principle", which is one of the most important principles to end binge eating permanently. We teach this in great detail to every single one of our clients, and today we'll be teaching it to you.  

This will be especially helpful if you've found yourself saying, "If I could just learn to eat for fuel instead of pleasure, I wouldn't binge anymore." If that sounds like you, you won't want to miss this one. 

Pleasure is the solution ― not the problem. The problem is when we keep eating to the point where pleasure turns into discomfort or pain. When you learn to eat for enjoyment, pleasure, and satisfaction, it helps the binges go away on their own, without a willpower battle. 

We'll be covering this topic in more depth (with an example about the world's biggest chocolate bar) today, so you can see how this one critical principle can lead you to achieve food freedom.
