Most people who binge eat want to be healthy. But is being healthy a good enough reason to do all the work to stop binge eating? Your health is important, obviously, but is “being healthy” a reason that makes you feel compelled to do all the hard work and to never give up on yourself? If it’s not, let’s make it so.   In this episode, I’m going to show you why “being healthy” isn’t always the best “why” to have for stopping binge eating. I’m also going to show you how to find that reason that’s so compelling that it will make giving up not an option. Listen in to find out how.   Interested in working with me?
