Ep 290: Why Do I Binge Eat? 5 Mind Shifts to Help Break the Cycle

Have you ever found yourself in the middle of a binge thinking, Why am I doing this again? I know better than this. That question can carry a lot of shame. But what if binge eating isn't really about knowing better? What if it has much more to do with the way your brain has learned to find comfort, relief, escape, or even rebellion through food? In this episode, I'm sharing five powerful mind shifts that can completely change the way you understand binge eating—and, more importantly, the way you respond when an urge shows up. We're going to look at why binging is often more about wiring than weakness, why fighting yourself can actually keep the cycle going, and how small shifts in the way you think can begin putting you back in the driver's seat.
