Binge Relapse and I Blew It Thinking in Food Addiction Recovery | Connie Bennett

Binge Relapse and I Blew It Thinking in Food Addiction Recovery | Connie BennettFood addiction, ultra processed food recovery, and relapse patterns are explored in this episode of Real Food Recovery Podcast™. This conversation focuses on binge episodes, “I blew it” thinking, and how shame and all or nothing patterns impact recovery from ultra processed food addiction.Real Food Recovery Podcast™ was created from a society wrestling with ultra-processed food addiction and the deep exhaustion that comes from feeling trapped in destructive patterns. After decades of obsession, frustration, and starting over, Paige Alexander holds this space to speak honestly about what it takes to heal, offering lived experience, grounded perspective, and practical tools to rebuild a life rooted in peace instead of chaos.In this episode, Paige is joined by Connie Bennett, author of I Blew My Diet! Now What?, to talk about a moment so many people know well, the moment you think, “I blew it.” Whether it is a binge, a spiral, or a series of choices that feel out of control, this conversation reframes what that moment actually means in recovery.Together, Paige and Connie unpack what is happening emotionally, neurologically, and mentally after a slip, and why shame often becomes louder than the original behavior. They explore how the “start over” cycle keeps people stuck, and what it looks like to respond differently in a way that supports real, lasting change.This conversation offers a more grounded approach to setbacks, helping you shift from self judgment into awareness, and from all or nothing thinking into consistency.If you have ever felt like one moment erased all your progress, this episode will meet you where you are.Learn more about Connie Bennett at www.connieb.com and connect with her on social media: Facebook (Connie Bennett), Instagram (@ConnieBennettAuthor), X (@SmartHabitsGirl), and LinkedIn (Connie Bennett).Questions, stories, or thoughts can be shared anytime at [email protected] and more resources can be found at www.realfoodrecovery4u.com.Real Food Recovery Podcast™ is an original educational podcast focused on sustainable nutrition, self trust, and recovery aligned living.© 2026 Paige Alexander All rights reserved.
