Just One Bite — Learning to Stop the Binge Before It Starts

This episode is NOT about Binge‑Eating DIsorder(BED). But still falls into the mental health category and is important to talk about; It’s that everyday moment where one small bite turns into too much. Our guest Nan — short for Nadège Saysana — is a coach who helps women stop binge(or over) eating most commonly occurring after dinner. Her work is simple, kind, and grounded in emotional skill, not restriction. Her specialty is women weightlifters since that is her roots, but she helps anyone in need.Nan binge ate for 30 years. She looked disciplined on the outside but felt out of control at night, especially after the house was quiet and the day was done. “Just one bite” became the whole box. She believed she lacked discipline.Everything changed when she learned binge eating wasn’t about food — it was about stress, emotions, and the moments before the binge. As she learned to respond differently, the urges weakened, then faded.Today she teaches women how to understand why binges happen. How to build self‑trust instead of control. How to stop at enough and feel done.She teaches women weightlifters how to feel as strong with food as they are in the gymNan lives in Paris with her family, lifts weights, reads, walks, and watches The Big Bang Theory. At 50 she became a bodybuilder and lost three dress sizes. Her 106‑year‑old grandmother is her daily reminder of why strength matters.Nan works with women who are strong and consistent in the gym but feel out of control with food at night. They train hard, eat well all day, and look disciplined from the outside. Then evening comes, the house gets quiet, and “just one bite” turns into the whole box.Nan knows that world because she lived it for 30 years.She started binge eating at 16, right after her first diet. She lost weight fast, thought she had fixed herself, and then gained it all back. For decades she lived in the cycle so many people know: disciplined all day, out of control at night, always promising to start over tomorrow.Most of her binges happened after dinner. Kids asleep. Kitchen light on. The moment when the day’s pressure finally hits. She believed she lacked discipline.This is a gentle, honest conversation about nighttime eating, emotional coping, and the skills no one teaches us.Shirt campaign closes this week: https://www.bonfire.com/otr-universe160/Nadège Saysana Sites:Website: https://www.milobingefix.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nadege.saysana1/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nan.saysana.coaching/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@nadegesaysanacoachingLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nan-saysana/OTR Sites:Podcast Website: https://bobadleman.wixsite.com/otrmentalhealthBlog: https://realplus.bearblog.dev/otr-lies-from-the-tablecloth/Public Square Community Ko-Fi.com/otrachieving Mail: [email protected]: https://www.facebook.com/otrachievingmentalhealhfrInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/over_the_rainbow_achievingX: https://twitter.com/overtherain1bowYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChEYTddPDUaiZbFliit1r5QLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-adleman/This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podder - https://www.podderapp.com/privacy-policyPodtrac - https://analytics.podtrac.com/privacy-policy-gdrp
