My Biggest Mistakes With Binge Eating

In this episode, I'm opening up about my past with binge eating. For over 6 years, I jumped from one restrictive diet to another,  counting calories, cutting out carbs, following food rules, hoping to gain "control" of my eating. What started as an innocent desire to lose weight quickly spiralled into disordered eating, compulsive overeating, and an inability to control myself around "off-limit" foods. Night time was the worst for me. Every night, around 8 pm, when everything had settled down after dinner time and I found myself alone in the kitchen, it was like a switch went off in my head. The moment I started eating, I couldn't stop. I felt so powerless and out of control around food, so I spent a lot of time online reading different tips & strategies to overcome binge eating. What I didn't realize was that these things were making things worse , not better. So, in today's episode, I'm going to share 5 of the biggest mistakes I was making that kept me stuck with my binge eating behaviours, endless frustrated with myself for not being able to figure it out, and feeling like a failure for not having enough willpower. My hope is that, if you're struggling with binge eating, you can avoid these mistakes and get on the path to healing quickly and more effectively than I could. ✦Get first access to my brand new free mini- course: Decode Your Food Noise → sabrinamagnan.com/decode-podcast📲 Come hang out over on instagram →  @sabrina.magnan.health🤝 Ready to get support in healing your relationship with food and your body?
