Become a Confident Eater: Stop Binge Eating, Overeating, & Food Addiction

Today I'm sitting down with my client Sarah, a mom of three who spent over a decade stuck in a cycle of restriction and binge eating.

Weekends were her "weak end." Summers felt miserable, alternating between strict macro counting and saying screw it, which often led to her being up 10+ lbs by the end.

And the harder she tried to track and control her food, the worse it got.

Today we talk about what finally helped her stop binge eating.
- Why tracking macros was actually making her binge eating worse, not better
- The identity shift that helped her go 3 months without bingeing
- How summer, holidays, and special occasions went from her biggest triggers to just... normal life
- What happened when she stopped weighting herself & tracking and started trusting her body
- How she eats anything in moderation now

Binge eating vs emotional eating. They often get thrown around like they’re the same thing, but they’re not.

And confusing these two can lead you to the wrong solution.

If you're treating a binge eating pattern like simple emotional eating one, you'll keep spinning your wheels.

So today you’ll learn…
- What exactly does binge eating and emotional eating mean?
- Is emotional eating the same as binge eating and what’s the difference between the two?
- Are there any similarities in the solution to binge eating or emotional eating?
