069: Food Addiction and Binge Eating Disorder

Binge Eating Disorder is the most prevalent eating disorder in adults, yet hardly anyone talks about it. So many people who live with it believe they are just addicted to food and a good old diet will fix their perceived out-of-control relationship around "bad" food. I talk about my own experience with this eating disorder and how I shifted my beliefs around it to get to a place where I was thankful I had it in my life at the time I needed it. Trigger warning: I will be talking about eating disorders in this episode, food quantities, spousal abuse through food deprivation and also a brief mention of child sexual assault so skip if that's not feeling ok for you today.
