I’m talking about the highs, the lows, the in-betweens of binge eating. The moments where your triggers get pushed, your stress levels break all records…
…. and then you cave. You cave hard. You either want to eat everything in the fridge (or cupboard) all in one sitting. Or, you try so hard NOT to eat anything at all – and try to restrict and deprive (or even starve) yourself for days to balance everything out again.
You feel like you are in a constant battle.
Unlock the secrets of your eating habits: Discover the top 4 common binge eating triggers that could be holding you back from a healthy relationship with food.
The Vicious Cycle of Binge Eating and Restriction
You’re eating to block out your emotions, to dull whatever sensation you’re feeling right now. It’s all too much – the thoughts, emotions and feelings. So you turn to the one thing that you know works, just for a moment.
Food!
It turns into a vicious cycle that constantly rinses and repeats…
Common Feelings Associated with Binge Eating
- ❌ Feeling out of control around food;
- ❌ Feeling like you have to rush while eating;
- ❌ Feeling like you can’t stop thinking about foods you want to eat;
- ❌ Feeling like you need to hide your food habits from others in your life, and/or
- ❌ Feeling an intense urge to eat when you feel stressed, angry, or tired.
-
guilt;
-
shame;
-
anxiety;
-
stress;
-
embarrassment;
-
self-hatred, and
-
many more negative and toxic emotions.
Each time you binge, you may promise yourself, ‘I will NOT do this again!’ or ‘Today, I am not going to binge’.
Only to find yourself giving in to food, yet again.

Replacing Harmful Binge Eating Thought Patterns
Common Thought #1 – I need to restrict my meals after a binge eating session to lose weight quickly
Let’s reverse this train of thought. When you add something – something else naturally falls away. Focus on an action that you can do, instead of fixating on something you shouldn’t do. Stop thinking about the foods you want to limit and instead think of the foods you want to add. Restrictions are the ultimate cause of most diet mishaps today.
Your body and mind considers being restricted as a form of punishment because you’ve taken something away. Instead of trying to manage your weight by banning yourself from all the foods you enjoy – add them in small, balanced doses instead.
Common Thought #2 – Everything has to be perfect. I have to be perfect
Overcoming Perfectionism: Embrace Your Quirks and Flaws
Take a seat, grab a pen and paper (or your laptop), and write a few notes about yourself.
1) List everything PERFECT about yourself in one column.
2) Now list everything that you genuinely LIKE about yourself in the other.
3) Lastly, who in your life would NOT approve of you (or reject you) if you weren’t ‘PERFECT’?
Who are you really trying to be perfect for?
What are you trying to really prove?
Think about what you have written and let it sink in.
Perfectionism – being perfect – is a set of idealised rules from false beliefs or fake people.
People are born with unique quirks, flaws, the little things that make you different ….
….the things that make you…YOU!
Perfect is not something anyone should ever aim to be – because simply put, perfection is impossible to attain. Don’t waste your life chasing a pipe dream. After all – perfect is essentially the enemy of the good and being the best version of YOURSELF! Aim to be you today.

3 Tips in The Journey to Overcoming Binge Eating
Tip #1: Be kind to yourself
It’s a rough journey, but one that can be managed. I’m not going to tell you it’s an overnight fix. It’s NOT.
Tip #2: Surround yourself with a community
Tip #3: Fastest path through is with a mentor
You want to find someone who has had a similar experience to you, for the length of years you have struggled. Someone who has struggled for a couple of years will not understand the complexity of someone who has struggled for 10, 20 or 30 years.
I know what it’s like…
I personally struggled for 34 years and I can show you how I have successfully found freedom from binge eating plus all issues with food and weight for nearly 15 years now.
Doing it alone will only cause your suffering to be longer. You have already wasted too many years on this and too much energy.
Breaking free from binging is entirely achievable, and all you have to do is take that first step towards creating a healthier relationship with food.
