This episode is part of a series that dives deep into the 8 causes of and solutions to binge eating. Each episode stands alone, so if you’re joining me for the first time, you won't miss anything. You may want to go back and listen to the other episodes (linked later in this post), but you don't need to for this episode to add value to your life.
This week we are talking about the 6th reason you binge – to control.
Many people who struggle with feeling out of control around food logically think that the answer is more control over themselves. They try to control their weight, their appetite, and their intake.
They don't trust themselves, especially when it comes to making food choices, or they don't trust themselves to be around certain foods.
So what's the solution? Start building trust in yourself. If you trust someone, you don't need to control them.
Learn what trust is, how to trust yourself, and discover the essential component of two-way trust.
In this episode, you will discover that learning to trust yourself includes concepts we have covered in previous episodes. These solutions work together to help you unwind from your binge eating behavior.
Discover what to do when there is an interruption in trust, and why I like to think of it as an interruption rather than a breach.
Trust is a crucial component to unwinding from binge eating. You need to develop trust with yourself and your body to experience the lasting food freedom you desire.
Remember, this takes time. Trust is developed. As you continue practicing the skills you are learning on this podcast, you will naturally build and establish trust with yourself.
You can develop the necessary two-way trust to unwind from binge eating with commitment, consistency, connection, communication, and compassion.
If you love this deep dive into the eight reasons why you binge and how to stop and want to know how to take them to the next level so that you can have your own personalized approach to these answers, I'm developing something amazing for you.
