If you’re bingeing, you’re eating more food then you need, so it’s important to look into how hormones regulate your hunger, regardless of whether excess weight is an issue for you. It’s hard to normalize eating if your hormones are whacked. Why?

When do you eat? When do you not eat? You probably wouldn’t be listening to this podcast if your answers were: “I eat when I’m hungry and I don’t eat when I’m not hungry.” Why is it that we often eat when we’re not hungry and sometimes don’t eat when we are hungry? They way we’re conditioned to eat by society may be part of the reason. Listen to the episode to find out more!

Emotional eating is about eating to make a difficult emotion go away. But what if you’re contributing to that emotion being there in the first place? Say what? Oh, yeah. You read that right.

At the heart of the desire to overeat is emotional eating. Emotional eating is about eating to cope with a difficult emotion or eating to make that emotion go away. Emotional eating offers a distraction and an analgesic. But there’s a downside: we get good at whatever we practice. So, here’s the question: Do you want to get better at eating frosting when you’re frustrated? Or do you want to get better at feeling frustrated when you’re frustrated? Maybe you don’t want to get better at either. What then? Listen in to find out more!

Reducing the desire to overeat is one of the biggest pieces that’s missing from almost all approaches to end bingeing or to lose weight. Most meal plans—even reasonable ones—are essentially about eating less food. But what if you still really want to eat the food that the program says is either too much food or not the right kind of food? Then what? Listen in to the episode to find out more!

You might think that welcoming your urges is a terrible idea. I hear you. But when you’re terrified of your urges, you probably binge to make them go away, ASAP! So . . . that’s not working for you. And it didn’t work for me either. In this episode, let’s try something different. Let’s take the power out of the urge by hanging with it. Let’s get up close and personal, and then way back and impersonal. Let’s zoom in and zoom out.

When you understand what’s happening in your brain when you binge, so much of the struggle begins to make sense. Part of you wants to stop bingeing so badly and part of you wants to keep bingeing just as badly. So you have that tell-tale dissonance between how you want to eat and how you actually do eat. It’s like there’s two of you playing tug-of-war. And that is fantastic news. Why? Because the two of you playing tug-of-war reflect two parts of your brain also playing tug-of-war—and those two parts of your brain are functioning exactly as they were designed to function. The problem is that they’re currently cross-wired to work against each other instead of with each other. And that, we can fix! Listen in to Part 6 of 12 Keys to End Binge Eating. This episode focuses on the fifth key: Understand Your Brain.
