Want To Stop Binge Eating For Good? 3 Things NOT To Do If You Want Food Freedom Forever

by Leave a Comment

Over the last several years, I’ve helped thousands of women break free from binge and emotional eating. Not only that, but I’ve also let go of my own struggle with that as well as weight and debilitating body image struggles.

I was in the trenches of the diet world for years. My life looked like on and off track eating, binge guilt restrict repeat, and hating and shaming myself the whole way through…I was miserable.

Then when I realized it was about more than food I went on a seemingly never ending quest to “fix” myself thinking that would fix my relationship with food. Therapy, personal development, hypnosis, working with the top fitness, nutrition, and life coaches and healers in the county…you name it. I made some progress but still felt stuck. This all went on for over 12 years.

Back then I searched endlessly for a way out of the struggle. What did I find? I found that there was a lot of experts with a lot of ideas.

Being an expert, though, doesn’t guarantee that your advice is the be-all-end-all solution.

In fact, some of the old-school wisdom that the gurus and teachers share does a lot more damage than repair.

Now, I’m not knocking these people as human beings. Nearly everyone in the space has great intentions, but a lot of what’s being taught, even in school is harmful and doesn’t look at the full picture.

In today’s video, I’m sharing the top 3 most outdated strategies that are touted to help with binge eating, the pitfalls of each one, and what to do instead to feel peaceful and free with food.

I bet some of these methods will sound familiar to you, and I’m sure that you’ve tried at least one of them at one point. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that any or all of them left you feeling stuck, broken, and frustrated. Maybe even stuck in that binge-restrict cycle longer than you need to be.

Don’t let what the world thinks is “right” keep you trapped in an unhealthy cycle with food for years!

–

–

Number One: Focusing exclusively on therapy and emotional work. Now, don’t get me wrong. Therapy and emotional work are both worthwhile and valuable. And if you have a mental health condition, past traumas, emotional things you want support around, by all means, get the help that you need and do not let anything I share detour you from seeking professional help – please.

What I’m referring to here is when people miss the mark when and assume what emotional work and therapy alone can accomplish freedom from binge eating.

You see, contrary to what traditional therapy or eating disorder treatment says, you don’t have to heal every emotional wound or trauma to have a healthy relationship with food.

Take me, for example. When I stopped binge eating, my emotional life was far from perfect…

I was still trying to launch my business. I was couch-surfing while trying to get everything off the ground. In the emotional department, I was falling apart –  I had a lot of self doubt, I didn’t know how to be with or process my emotions – I was all over the place AND I still stopped binge eating.

True, I did a lot of the emotional work along the way. But sometimes, the deep work made me feel like I was on a wild goose chase to “fix myself.” As if I had to be perfectly healed before I could make any progress at all.

It sent me on this hunt for looking what was wrong with me when truthfully there was nothing wrong with me, I was just disconnected from my power and professionals telling me I was branded with a disorder or an addiction didn’t leave me feeling empowered – AT ALL.

But even without all of my emotional ducks in a row, I was still able to get on the road to freedom with food. Why was this possible for me?

Because while there is an emotional component to binge eating, and people can be driven to food when certain emotions arise, the primary cause is physiological.

In other words, you need to first break the pattern in your brain that causes you to binge and make sure your physiology invested in making you eat. And no amount of emotional work alone can do that.

So if you try to tackle the emotional work before taking on the physiological causes, it’s like putting the cart before the horse.

The truth is, life is going to get stressful, emotions are going to arise, you’re going to get triggered – true healing and peace isn’t about controlling the triggers and fixing yourself – it’s about releasing all the programming and patterning that drives you to eat in those moments and being resourced enough to stay centered and not need food when one of those moments (aka life) happens.

If you’re binge eating you’re not broken – you’re just disconnected from your power.

Number Two: Dieting, controlling, or restricting your foods. This is the one that we all know far too well, I’m sure! Restricting your portions, controlling what you eat, or abstaining from certain foods, mentally judging what you eat…is a recipe for disaster.

Trust me, I was on that path longer than I needed to be…

For years, I masked dieting as “healthy eating.” I ruthlessly judged what was good and bad to eat, and I restricted every bite I took (or tried to, anyway).

But if you restrict what you eat in the name of being “healthy”, it still constitutes control. If your intentions aren’t loving, nurturing, honoring place, even things like “clean eating” are restrictions.

You see, when you restrict your food options, that survival switch in your brain gets locked in the ON position. We call this the “binge switch.”

And when that switch is ON, it drives you to think about food, eat uncontrollably, and crave relentlessly the foods you’ve deemed “forbidden.”

In other words, it conditions you to have what I call “tunnel vision” with food. The more you try to control what you eat, the more out of control you feel.

So please know if you do feel out of control with your food – more attempted control is NOT the answer – it’s just making things worse.

Number Three: Intuitive Eating as The Be-All Solution. Now, this might surprise you. After all, you’ve probably heard me talk about intuitive eating and listening to your body as a beautiful and supportive practice.

And it’s true–I really DO believe in the power of intuitive eating and listening to your body! The problem comes in when you make intuitive eating and listening to your body the one and only tool in your arsenal.

When you put that kind of pressure on this practice, it turns from a supportive practice to just another set of stringent rules.

Here’s an example. If you decide to up and quit traditional dieting and replace it with intuitive eating, your intentions might be good.

But if you don’t address the underlying problem first–that is, breaking the pattern in your brain that causes binge eating–what usually happens next isn’t quite what you might’ve bargained for…

You let go of all the traditional diet rules and it may feel good for a day or so but oftentimes that can lead to a food free-for-all. Then the fear sets in, and you go back to your old patterns of restricting, controlling, and probably even shaming.

And after that, “intuitive eating” morphs into just another diet.

To make matters worse, the whole experience might leave you feeling as though something was fundamentally wrong with you. Which couldn’t be farther from the truth…

For one thing, intuitive eating and listening to your body relies a lot on recognizing your body’s hunger and fullness cues. And in reality, those cues don’t return to their natural state until you’ve broken out of survival mode – meaning it won’t work if that switch in your brain driving you to eat is still on.

Intuitive eating and listening to your body are both worthwhile and beautiful practices. I practice these techniques every day myself, and I believe in their power! But I encourage you to recognize that they are intended to be helpful tools, not the ultimate solution.

—

So there you have it! The top 3 strategies to beat binge eating that ultimately set you back instead of move you forward. Some of them are good ideas being used ineffectively, while others do more harm than good at any point in the game.

But how do you take the steps that will set you free, for real this time?

The first step on the road to food freedom forever is breaking the link in the brain that drives you to binge eat in the first place. And from there, using the emotional and intuitive steps to support you as you complete your journey to peace and ease with your food.

The Truth About Food Addiction: Why You’re Not Broken or Disordered (And What Will Set You Free)

by Leave a Comment

I’ve got a controversial topic for you today. And I can safely say that there are some experts out there won’t like my take on this one…

But I also believe that everyone who has ever struggled with binge or emotional eating or compulsive overeating – needs to hear it.

What I’m about to share can help set you free from addictive patterns with food, once and for all. But it will also help you understand what those patterns are all about…and what they’re NOT about.

Now, if you’re here, you’re probably feeling out of control with your food. And most likely, you’re seeking answers beyond what you might’ve learned so far…

Maybe you believe that you’re food-addicted because a well-meaning professional told you that you were.

Maybe you believe that you don’t have the willpower to avoid certain “bad” foods, therefore you must be addicted to them.

Which, also could lead you to asking…

Why can other people people have it easy with food and I can’t?

Am I broken?

How do I fix myself?

Today I’m going to debunk these lies that make you believe that once and for all.

To start, no matter how out of control you’re feeling please know this:

  1. You’re not “addicted” to food no matter what you’ve been told (I share what gives me grounds to say this below)
  2. Food is NOT a will power problem and forcing yourself to abstain from certain types of food is NOT the answer (in fact it makes things worse)
  3. You’re not broken because you struggle – there is nothing wrong with you and anyone who tells you there is – is wrong.
  4. You don’t need to fix yourself to fix your relationship with food.

If you’re feeling out of control with food, it only means is that there are patterns in your brain that are working against you and the methods you’ve been using to stop are most likely making things worse and working against your physiology.

These “patterns” become automatic and make you think about food and go after food on auto-pilot, but the good news is – they can be shifted and reprogrammed so ease with your food becomes automatic and second nature!

You’re not stuck with “food addiction” or a “disorder” for the rest of your life.

But where did this idea of food addiction come from in the first place, and why is it so widely believed? And how to you break free from these patterns that feel like food addiction once and for all…Let’s get into that here!

–

–

Now, here’s the thing: some of principles behind the food addiction theory do make scientific sense. I’m not here to deny or discredit any of that. (After all, I’m a big fan of neuroscience and science in general, and there is a lot of that in the food addiction theory!)

But at what point does the theory veer off track and ultimately do more harm than good? Let’s break it down and see how it works….

Imagine a switch in your brain that is responsible for your survival instincts. And when that switch is ON, the effects are intense.

We’re talking autopilot eating and constant thoughts about food. All powerful cravings that lead to patterned behaviors, and chemical rewards from your brain that solidify these patterns.

In other words, your brain is invested in making you eat, which on the outside can look a lot like an addiction to food.

And what is the default cure for most addictions? Abstinence. Telling yourself NO and restricting whatever it is you think is causing said addiction.

Now, according to the food addiction theory, it’s the “forbidden” food that triggers people

Not exactly.

Now, I’m not denying that certain foods can induce overeating. Sugar, certain types of processed foods, and many types of food additives can induce chemical responses in the brain that one can crave.

However, restricting those “bad” foods in hopes of avoiding overeating will ultimately backfire. Because the more you tell yourself NO, the more you’ll become consumed with the idea of consuming those forbidden foods.

In other words, it’s the restriction and control OF certain foods that sets off that switch I mentioned earlier. Not necessarily the food itself.

So through abstinence it creates more food focus, more eating on autopilot, more cravings…all things that can look a lot like addiction.

THEN the double-whammy comes in…

When you sternly tell yourself that you can’t eat this or that, there’s also the shame, judgment, and criticism that goes along with it the control. Throw in a bit of mental and emotional restriction on top of that, and you’ll be triggered to eat even more.

I believe that it’s the restriction in the first place that causes behavior that looks like food addiction, and then the solution that “experts” push actually creates more behavior that looks like addiction.

Which ultimately leads to the conclusion that you have a “food addiction.” And with that, you become a disorder. You’re branded for life, you have a disease, and you need fixing.  

(according to some – I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS – anything that leaves you feeling disempowered or broken has no place here)

Believe it or not, there IS an alternative to this chaos. You don’t have to stay stuck under the thumb of a label. You start breaking free right now, in fact!

The the pathway to freedom does not involve avoiding foods that you think are causing an addiction. It’s about rewiring your brain to see food in an whole new way.

Think of it like this: if your brain responds the way it does to extreme control, how would it respond to absolute freedom? That is, how would it behave if it knew you could have anything you want in any quantity at any time?

That mystical pull towards forbidden foods eventually disappears. And before you know it, you have that freedom from food that you desire.

So what is the ultimate answer to this supposed “food addiction?” How do you take back your power, let go of a label, and find freedom and ease with your food?

The solution isn’t more control, restriction, or shame.  It’s rewiring your brain to stop pulling you toward food. It’s flipping that binge/survival switch in your brain to the OFF position, once and for all.

It comes down to two key steps…

First, flipping that binge/survival switch to the OFF position.

Second, breaking those patterns in the brain that are driving your autopilot eating.

How is that done? By creating a new path in your brain, and using that new pattern consistently until the old one dies off.

Brain Science 101 – What I Mean By “Creating a Pathway of Freedom in the Brain”

Imagine you’ve been walking the same path across a grassy field forever. The path is carved, it’s easy to walk. Right now that path in your brain is binge and emotional eating.

Now let’s say you decide to take a new path, and the more that you use that new path, the more that the grass grows over the old path. (In fact, in the world of brain science and neuroplasticity, this phenomenon is called “pruning,” just like in gardening – the brain gets rid of pathways it doesn’t use!)

Pretty soon the new path becomes the path of least resistance… This can be a new path that leads you away from binge and emotional eating and toward freedom and ease with your food.

Now, just to be clear, I’m not telling you to eat sugar, fats, gluten, and other forbidden foods all the time and in vast quantities just because you can.

But on this new path, you can have a cookie without eating the whole bag. You can have a piece of candy without finishing the bag in one sitting.

Best of all, when you let go of restrictions and listen to your body, you’ll likely be drawn to the foods that make you feel alive, healthy, and powerful just by default.

You don’t have to white-knuckle your way through your food choices, paranoid that you’re going to choose the wrong meal and set off an addiction. You don’t have to shun certain foods until the end of time, either.

You and I both know that this is not a sustainable path in the long run, right?

Most of all, you don’t have to label yourself a food addict. Because contrary to what a well-meaning professional might’ve told you, no particular food is the real issue.

Now, what I’m saying might sound controversial, it isn’t based on my own radical opinions. It actually comes from legitimate studies of the brain, the science of behavior, and psychology.

And not only are these ideas rooted in science, but also in practical experiences.

Experiences in breaking away from what some might call “food addiction” myself. And experience in helping thousands of women liberate themselves, too.

Closing Thoughts for You

You don’t have to buy into anything that makes you feel less than the amazing human that you are. And that includes saddling yourself with the “food addiction” label.

You are not a condition. You are not a disorder. You are a sovereign being with the power to experience Food Freedom Forever. And if you’re feeling that there’s a wall between you and your freedom, you can take it down one brick at a time!

Don’t put a supposed condition in charge of your life. You can take back your power, starting right now!

Your Body Always Knows: 5 Ways To Listen To Your Body Without Losing Control With Your Food

by Leave a Comment

If you’re anything like the rest of the world, you know that feeling. The moment where you think that you have to lose weight or else… And you feel trapped in your own body because no matter how hard you try nothing seems to last.

At that point, you’re searching for answers to feel better and hoping that whatever you find will finally be it. The plan you can stick too and the plan that will work.

Believe me, I get it.

For years I was desperate to get control of my food and feel free in my body. And I did a lot of Googling, searching, and stressing in hopes of finding a magical fix (which, of course, I never found…)

Maybe you’ve scoured the internet for the perfect weight-loss plan. You might be following every fitness model on Instagram, trying to do exactly what they do. Maybe you’re living and dying by what the displays on all your tracking apps tell you.

But what does all of that obsessing get you? It leaves you in a state of what I like to call being “chopped off from the neck down.” (sorry for the not-so-pretty picture, I’ll explain)

That is, it leaves you stuck in your head. And disconnected from the one thing that will help you much more than a Google search or a diet book ever could.

I’m talking about your body.

When you get out of your head and reconnect with the inherent wisdom of your body, everything shifts.  You naturally make food choices that support you. It becomes easier to break the patterns in your brain that drive you to eat.

And ultimately, you find freedom in your body, ease with your food, and lasting weight loss.

You won’t get there by tracking your food or obsessing over every bite. The secret is connecting with your internal wisdom, listening to your body, and acting on what it shares.

But is “listening to your body” really all that easy? It can be if you allow it!

I’ve got 5 steps that will help you get present, connect with yourself, and actually hear your body’s cues. And each step will help you honor yourself with your food choices. In EVERY moment.

No frustration. No shaming. No dieting. Just you, your body, and the food choices that will help you in live your best life, moment to moment.

How to Listen to Your Body
–

–
Step #1: Break the autopilot response. Most of us go through our lives on the “automatic” setting. And when it comes to food choices, hitting the autopilot button is especially common.  

Something’s in the fridge, we grab it. We’re running late for work, we take what we find in the cabinet and run with it.

Sometimes you make those kneejerk choices because it’s convenient. Other times it’s because of deeply rooted patterns in your head. Either way, autopilot responses mean that your head is running the show. And your body usually ends up paying the price.

How do you flip off the autopilot switch?

Just stop, pause, and listen. Let go of the mind chatter and feel into your heart space. It’s the first step to reconnecting with your body and getting real answers.

Step #2: Once you pause, refocus. Picture this: all day long, you think about food. What you ate yesterday. What you’re going to eat today to compensate for what you ate yesterday. What you’re going to eat tomorrow because you ate too much today. And on and on it goes.

Sound familiar? It’s those compulsive food thoughts. And they can be anything but kind to your body.

Consider how it feels when those obsessive thoughts hit. Where in your body do you feel those thoughts? I bet you feel them pushing through in the front part of your head, right?

That’s because those compulsive thoughts come from your mind-based plots, plans, and fixations. They have nothing to do with who you really are. And yet they usually cause those emotional spirals that trigger the urge to binge.

How do you shift that energy and reconnect with your truth? Give this a try…

Check in with where you FEEL the energy of your thoughts (most likely your head / forehead). Then bring it from the front of your head down into your body. Drop your awareness down through your neck, through your chest, and into your belly.

Then become present within your body, feel into what your body needs, and listen to what she tells you.

Now, your body won’t necessarily spell out direct orders like, “eat the carrots and not the cake.”   
But what you will receive are those intuitive nudges. And they’ll help you make choices from the wisdom of your body rather than the chaos of your mind.

Step #3: Choose foods that honor your body right NOW. Here’s an interesting paradox about “honoring your body.” Sometimes the way we interpret that statement can be just as restrictive as a diet.

Here’s what I mean by that…

Maybe you believe that choosing vegetables over a treat is always the right option for your body, no matter what. (They’re “healthy,” right? )

But believe it or not, sometimes broccoli or brussels sprouts might not be the ticket, no matter how good for you they might seem.

Honoring your needs isn’t about choosing a “good” food over a “bad” one. It’s about honoring yourself as a whole. That means considering your body, your well-being, and your mental state. All together as one.

Let me give you a little perspective on that!

Sometimes when I go out to dinner, I want to feel clear, alive and energized. This means choosing foods that make me feel grounded and present (like lots of veggies, for example).

Then again, I might be out on a special night with friends, and we’re all up for a celebration.
And this time, instead of choosing the salad, I join the party and choose a favorite dish or drink.

What do these cases have in common? I’m choosing foods based how I want to feel in this experience. And I’m choosing the foods that would honor my entire being instead of what I think I “should” choose.

You get to decide how you want to feel in every moment. So if you listen to yourself as a whole, your body will tell you what would honor it the most, one moment at a time.

Step #4: Be in the moment at mealtime. Have you ever made a mealtime choice based on what you had for breakfast this morning or how much you overate last night?

It’s a common strategy to compensate for past “transgressions.” But it tends to be a mind-based choice rather than a connected and intuitive one.  And making choices that are rooted in the past is a sure-fire way to pull yourself out of the present moment.

The only way to know what you need in the moment is to BE in the moment. That’s why present moment mealtimes are the way to go.

You don’t have to go into a deep meditative state to make it work, either! All you need is to check in with yourself a few times throughout your meal. Notice how your body feels. And adjust accordingly.

For example, are you still hungry, or are you pleasantly satisfied? Do you think you need seconds because you’re not quite full, or is eating more just a go-to response?  

Check in with yourself. See how you’re feeling throughout your meal. Then make choices based on your body’s present moment cues.

Step #5: Bring awareness to how food impacts your life. This brings it all together. It’s about bringing awareness to the way that food impacts you, your life, and your feelings.

That means acknowledging your emotions and using techniques like journaling to put the pieces together.

What does it entail? Simply checking in with yourself after meals and seeing how you feel. Maybe even recording your feelings in a journal, just to bring some depth and self-exploration into the picture.

Here’s an example of how to put this step into action…

Ideally, a meal should give you a few hours of that content, warm-bellied feeling. So make a point to notice how you feel in those few hours after a meal. And make adjustments as needed.

Then bring your reflections and your awareness into a journaling practice, if you feel called to it.

This step helps you bring enhance your awareness, presence and connection in a practical and actionable way. And it results in a stronger partnership with yourself and your body.

Listening to your body might sound like a tall order. But all it requires is getting out of your head, into your body, and being in the moment.

It means treating yourself with appreciation and respect. And honoring your body’s needs in every moment rather than looking to experts and gurus for the perfect eating plan.

Of course, if you’ve been stuck on the diet hamster wheel for a while, this might feel like a radical approach. Maybe even a scary one.

Leaving the Diet-Binge Cycle Of 10 Years Behind for Body Love and Freedom (Beating Binge Eating Blueprint Success Story)

by Leave a Comment

Ever feel like your struggle with your body and food holds you back from living your life? Or that you’re just SO hard on yourself and your body mentally that it’s hard to feel at peace as you go about your day?

Then this case study interview is for you! This week I had the privilege of interviewing Kendyl, one of our graduates from our Beating Binge Eating Blueprint.

Kendyl had been struggling with binge and emotional eating and a negative body image since 12 years old. She had tried therapy, diets, and so many other tricks and tools to shift her perspective and feel at peace with her body and food but nothing seemed to last.

After just a few short months with us she now feels at peace in her skin, is easier on herself, feels more in her power with her food, and is free to live her life fully.

Watch the Video Below to Learn How Kendyl Went From Being Stuck in the Diet-Binge Cycle for 10+ Years to Loving Her Body and Living Her Life So You Can Too!
