If you’ve ever struggled with binge eating…read this storytime:
Back when I was 28, I had this calendar sitting on my dresser. Each day I didn’t fall into a binge-eating episode, I’d mark with a dot. I used to daydream about connecting those dots for 30, 60, or even 90 days straight without binging. A whole year seemed like a WILD dream.
Honestly, back then, trusting myself around food wasn’t even in the realm of possibilities. I never knew when the urge to overeat would hit, leaving me to deal with the aftermath; feeling stuffed, sick, and down on myself.
Freedom from binge eating seemed completely impossible.
Fast forward to now, I’m in my 40’s and have been living binge-free for about 8 years. Making peace with food and with myself has been a game changer. Now, I make choices out of self-love, not fear or self-loathing. I don’t fear my cravings or distrust myself anymore.
What made a difference? Setting guidelines while addressing my inner demons with binge eating. I started seeing food as nourishment AND pleasure, learning the importance of moderation.
For those of you feeling stuck in a cycle of dieting or binging and craving sanity, know that support can be a lifeline. Trust me, I’ve been there.
I learned that balance is key – not extreme restrictions.
