EP141: Life After Binge Eating (Insights for Recovery)

Binge eating is no joke, and overcoming it? It’s not a quick fix! Christina sits down with Ramzia to get real about their own journeys with binge eating—their experiences with binge eating and what it took for them to truly break free from the cycle of binge eating.

They also share tips for anyone stuck in a cycle of binge eating and tell that recovery isn’t a quick fix, and it’s not a straight line. But with the right tools and mindset, it is possible!

In this episode, they discuss:

• Christina and Ramzia’s struggle with binge eating and their journey to overcoming it
• Ramzia’s story of restricting her food intake all day and then bingeing at night because her body was starving
• Christina’s challenge with feeling a lack of control during binge eating 
• Emotional and physical triggers that led to their binge eating
• The binge-restrict cycle and why binge eating recovery is not a straight path
• The importance of being able to separate actions and emotions when it comes to food
• Intuitive eating and why it is not the solution for people recovering from binge eating
• Tips for overcoming binge eating

Memorable Quotes:

“It’s not the restriction, it’s not the mental and emotional aspect of it, but it’s like, I just don’t want to feel bloated tonight, so I’d rather have this.”

“Instead of focusing on what you did wrong and what you don’t want to do again, focus on what you can do better next time and what an ideal situation would look like.”

“When you have the right protocols in place, and you have the right support in place, and you have a community or coaches or mentors that have gone through binge eating and have coached other people through it, you’re not alone in it.”
