Loving the fact that you binge may seem like the most ridiculous thing you’ve ever heard. But before you unsubscribe, let me ask you this: When you binge, do you think things like, “This is disgusting,” “I must be broken to eat like this,” “I hate that I can’t stop myself,” or “No one can find out that I do this”? If so, do these thoughts make you feel ashamed, resigned, sad, powerless, and scared? And if so, does that prime you for yet another binge? Many binge eaters experience this cycle almost to the T. One more question: What’s the up-side?

Episode 9 explores why it seems to make sense to hate our bingeing, but how—counter-intuitively—it may actually be better to love it. This episode continues the conversation we began in Episode 3 about how self-regard can be a key ally in helping you end your binges. Episode 4 focused on weight, Episode 5 looked at dieting. Episodes 6 to 8 tackled the urges to binge. The following episodes will cover the aftermath of bingeing and weight loss after the bingeing has stopped.

Welcoming your next urge to binge may sound off-the-wall, but it can be just what you need to set you free from your bingeing. Being afraid of your urges isn’t freedom. It’s prison. And you don’t need to be afraid of them anyway. Freedom is when you’re willing to allow an urge—to open the door to it, welcome it in, and actually look forward to its next visit. When you can stay neutral about your urges in just this way, you weaken the old, outdated neural connection anchoring your bingeing. So, in a way, your urges are actually just what you need to heal. If you’re scratching your head, or if this sounds impossible, listen to the episode to find out why it may be easier than you think!

Episode 8 continues the conversation we began in Episode 3 about how self-regard will get you a whole lot closer to ending your binges than shame will. Episode 4 focused on weight, Episode 5 looked at dieting. Episodes 6 and 7 began exploring the urges to binge. The following episodes will cover the bingeing itself, the aftermath of bingeing, and weight loss after the bingeing has stopped.

The last thing you want to do is hang around with the urge to binge, right? There’s no doubt that your urge is super-compelling. But there’s also no doubt that your prefrontal cortex is super-powerful. Armed with the brain science we covered in the last episode, you can learn how to defuse the urge to binge by witnessing it. And nothing defuses your urges like compassionate curiosity—you’ve got it, a form of self-regard!

Episode 7 teaches you how to track what’s happening for you during an urge and how to disengage from any drama with the technique called the “Behind-the-Scenes Movie Trick.” You’ll learn that you don’t have to binge to make the urge go away. You’ll also learn that you have two powerful allies with you on your journey to end binge eating. Listen in to find out more.

Binge eaters feel a strong disconnect between how they want to eat and how they actually do eat. It can feel incredibly disempowering to feel like you’re eating against your will. This episode uncovers the reason for that dissonance and begins to explore what to do about it.

In Episode 6, I’m going to invite you to reconsider a deep-seated belief—that your urges to binge are beyond your control, that they’re absolutely overpowering. The good news? They aren’t all that. We’re going to dissect your brain and take a good look at what’s really going on up there. (Don’t worry. This won’t hurt a bit!)

This episode continues the conversation we began in Episode 3 about the cost of shame and about how self-regard will get you so much closer to resolving your bingeing. Episode 4 focused on weight, Episode 5 looked at dieting. This week, we’re tackling the urges to binge!

Binge eaters often resort to dieting as a way to lose weight or to control their eating. But dieting is also often a precursor to binge eating. In other words, dieting can trigger the onset of bingeing and dieting can be the go-to once the bingeing has started. The result? A vicious cycle of dieting, bingeing, and more dieting.

In Episode 5, you’ll find out why simply eating enough food may be all you need to stop bingeing. And, of course, we’re going to tackle your greatest fear about tossing the diets—gaining weight.

This episode continues the conversation we began in Episode 3 about the cost of shame and about how self-regard will get you much closer to resolving your bingeing! Last week, we focused on weight. This week, we’ve got diets in our sights! The following weeks will cover urges to binge, the bingeing itself, the aftermath of bingeing, and weight loss after the bingeing has stopped.

In Episode 3, I explore the toll that shame takes on binge eaters, and about why it’s worth it to let it go. One of the best ways to rout out shame is to shine a light on it and talk about what we’ve kept hidden—without apology. Stay tuned for some dirt on a cake, a garbage can, and a bottle of dish soap! I’ll talk about self-regard as a better choice for ending binge eating—plus, it just feels way better!

In this episode, I’ll also start to unravel what’s going on in your brain when you binge and how self-regard can help your brain wire a new neural pathway away from bingeing.
