Whats the best way to smother a binge before it snowballs, stopping it from gaining momentum, and spreading it to destroy your day, weeks, or decades? Well, we actually are going to talk about exactly that in today's episode.

Overcoming binge eating challenges must happen from several different angles. First, we can look at it from a prevention angle: identifying the triggers you experience and learning to prevent binge eating by developing helpful skills to address your thoughts and emotions. Second, you can think about how you can support yourself after a binge, to prevent the all or nothing pendulum swing from keeping you stuck in a binge-restrict cycle. Lastly, which Georgie and Christina will cover in today's episode, is how to stop a binge in the middle of one.

Once a binge has started, one of its defining characteristics is that it includes a sense of losing control, and that can be scary, but there are things you can do to extinguish the binge. You are not helpless in this situation. You are capable and you're the only person for the job.

Our group coaching client Emma recently reached out feeling defeated. Her vacation got derailed by an incoming hurricane. She felt like a failure of the program because she was going back to old ways of using food to cope with the disappointment of her intended family plans, wondering if she would ever get better from these eating and body struggles.

Maybe you've been there too...

Thankfully, she reached out to the group to share some of the sabotaging thoughts that were plaguing her so we could help! Many of them can be traced back to what we like to call your brain's "cut and run mode". It's those sabotaging thoughts that make you believe you need to abort the mission and do something drastic, because CLEARLY this is not working!

In this episode, join Georgie and Christina as we share exactly how we helped Emma and (other clients like her) reframe the all or nothing thoughts that make you feel like you should just give up. Our brains can be dramatic! But we are here to support you! Let's take a beat, calm down, and help you think through the sabotaging thoughts with a more clear head.

Most importantly, we don't want you to quit! We've got your back. And if you need support unraveling any of your sabotaging thoughts, send us a message at confidenteaters.com.

This is our 100th episode of the Breaking up With Binge Eating Podcast! Thank you, listeners, for the love and support of this podcast. We are glad you are here and thankful to be a small part of your healing journey to food freedom.

Does encouraging yourself feel weird? If so, then this episode is for you. In fact, the "weirder" it feels to give yourself praise and encouragement, the more you probably need to do it.

As coaches at Confident Eaters, Maryclaire, Christina, and I have noticed many people express what we'd call anti compassion, anti praise, and anti encouragement. Some of the people we work with aren't just low on expressing compassion, praise, and encouragement, they're actively against it.

Join Georgie as she explains some of the most important work we get to to with clients. We love getting to help people morph out of these unhelpful thinking patterns and begin to learn to be nicer to themselves, try to encourage themselves rather than put themselves down, and begin to use positive reinforcement like a powerful tool which keeps them going.

These three elements can help you to become more confident and feel more positive emotions around the healthy behaviors you have spent much of your life trying to establish. If you need support unraveling any of your barriers against health, fitness, or weight loss, send us a message at confidenteaters.com.
