Brain Over Binge Podcast

Having a difficult relationship with food affects nearly every other relationship in your life, including your relationship with yourself. Because eating disorders are so isolating, you may find yourself turning away from other people—even the people you love the most and who love you the most. Your drive to binge and your obsessive food thoughts can distract you from being present in relationships or prevent you from forming relationships. Kathryn addresses these issues and more in this episode about healing your relationship with food, yourself, and others.

Binge-encouraging thoughts don’t make logical sense, but they are tempting to believe in the moment of an urge. You can learn to stop taking these thoughts seriously, dismissing them as untrue and not indicative of who you truly are and what you truly want. It’s helpful to know that you aren’t the only one having thoughts that try to justify binge eating. In this episode, Kathryn shares several common faulty thoughts (from the lower brain) and explains how you can stop letting these thoughts lead you into harmful actions.

Recovery can bring up some unexpected feelings, including grief.  Even though binge eating is ultimately a harmful behavior, you may still experience a sense of loss as you let it go, and you may also grieve the time you lost to the eating disorder. As you go through this, it can be helpful to cultivate thoughts and feelings of gratitude to soften the grief, and to keep you moving in the direction of freedom from the struggle with food. Life inevitably involves loss, and some lessons learned from recovery about both grief and gratitude can help you in many other areas as you move forward.

Recovery involves setting some boundaries with food, with the primary boundaries being to avoid binges and to avoid restriction. You can also use gentle, loving boundaries in other ways—as tools that help you protect your time, energy, and mental clarity so that you can connect with your higher brain and make recovery-promoting choices.   Episode mentioned in this show: Ep. 147: Redefining Restriction Brain over Binge resources: Get the FREE 30-day Inspiration Booklet Get personalized support with one-on-one coaching or group coaching Subscribe to the Brain over Binge Course for only $18.99 per month Get the Second Edition of Brain over Binge on Amazon and Audible, BarnesandNoble.com, Apple iBooks, or Kobo.

Physical hunger and fullness signals aren’t the only driver of eating. We also have what I’m calling “stop and go signals” which are primarily thoughts, but also feelings and sensations that encourage us to eat or stop eating that are independent of physical hunger and fullness cues. In this episode, you’ll learn to understand and react to these signals in a way that moves you toward recovery and a healthy relationship with food.
