Eating to Avoid Procrastination Hell
"I'll get started... after a snack." "This is so overwhelming... I need candy." Life contains onerous tasks, and they can cause dread and anxiety even when we haven't begun them. Because avoiding a chore presents its own drawn out emotional torture, binge eating or procrastineating entices us to escape BOTH the task and the heavy guilt we feel for stalling. But as we know, binge eating or emotional eating are not perfect solutions, because they come at steep costs to our self-esteem and wellness. Let's explore real life tools you can use to save yourself from procrastination hell while breaking up with binge eating.  Website recommended in this episode: https://www.raptitude.com/

Recognizing and Soothing Scarcity Mind
"Now's my chance." "I'll be better tomorrow." "One last time." Thoughts like these can make you feel just a little more reactive, a little more tense, a little less settled. And frankly, they also make you more prone overeating or binging. In this episode, you'll learn to recognize when you slip into a scarcity mindset. More importantly, you'll learn how to prevent it and how to gently help yourself out of it.

The Best Things to Do After a Mistake (To Avoid Bingeing)
The sinking feeling of realizing you made a mistake can be awful. It can lead to panic, fear, embarrassment, and often, binge eating. Presumably you are already trying hard to not make mistakes, so what else can be done? A lot. Here are five precise things to do after you make a mistake to help you get back to your feet emotionally without bingeing. Ideally, try to do them right away. However, if you forget initially and do them later, they still work!

Why's Up With The Guilt?
The following sequence of events may be all too familiar: You want to push yourself to do something different with food - maybe order a carb, eat the dressing, or enjoy dessert out in the open instead of in secret. So you gather your strength, recite a mantra or two, take the leap... and then feel mega guilty afterwards. What gives? This is what you wanted to do, and now instead of glowing with pride, you're feeling like hell over it.  In this episode, we'll talk about this phenomenon, why it happens, and how to manage it so it never gets in your way again. Full steam ahead, you can smash that guilt and keep stepping forwards in your journey of breaking up with binge eating.

Kaitlyn: "My entire day revolves around food"
"It's frustrating," says Kaitlyn. Who wouldn't be frustrated? Watching your mind circle around the next opportunity to eat like a moth doing laps around a garden light...is hardly the fully-lived life most of us want to be experiencing. Let's look at how we can help Kaitlyn.  Kaitlyn has already made some progress, including a recent win with handling a stressful day without a binge. She's worried that it will be a single outlier experience, though, and wants more strategies to help her feel in control of her eating, as opposed to the sense that eating is in control of her.  Grab a pen because there are a lot of tips and strategies in this one hour conversation! To benefit from all of the real life recorded sessions, subscribe at georgiefear.com/podcast. For less than the cost of a pumpkin spice latte you can help yourself to expert direction and real world strategies that improve your life.

This Small Step Isn't Enough!
Enrolment for the Breaking Up With Binge Eating coaching program starts this week for 7 days only! Learn more at https://www.nutritionloft.com/store (Sign ups for the group begin 10/5/22, the program starts 10/12/22). When it comes to problems in our lives (such as disordered eating or excess weight), we can create full-time jobs for ourselves just thinking about them. We can spend endless hours considering how this problem has worsened or changed over time, what contributed to it, whom can be blamed, and how fiercely we want things to be different. To make progress, we know that dwelling on it has to give way to action... but which action is the right one to take? We spell it out in this bite-sized episode. Here's a hint: Trying harder and beating ourselves up are not the helpful actions we are going for.

“I listed alternate behaviors, now how do I get myself to do them?”
Making a list of alternatives to turn to instead of food is an important step. (Don't count on yourself to be creative when you are in a moment of distress.) But what if you have a list and keep ignoring it? Let's ensure that your list is done right, and look for the stories or thoughts you might be telling yourself that are keeping you from changing.

Food Limit Reactivity: "Even the thought of cutting back makes me binge” (part 2 of 2)
Does any type of food guideline, rule, or limit "set you off?" You're not alone. As a person's relationship with food heals, this type of food limit reactivity goes down. In other words, it becomes tolerable, then comfortable to experiment with waiting to eat for a short time, or choosing some foods more often than others... without alarms going off and causing binges. This process takes several months of gentle practice in a consistent, kind, and trusting atmosphere. Learn more in this episode.

"I wanted it": All about managing desire
Some of the topics we discuss in this episode include:  Why ignoring your wants causes problems  Why you can feel like you really want a particular food, but then be unsatisfied once you have it Why wanting something doesn't mean it's a good idea to eat it (or that it will make you happy)  Why we are poor at predicting how it will feel to have (or not have) something we want What to do when you want conflicting things at the same time

Julie: "I do it all, or nothing at all."
It's interesting how even if we hide to eat in total secrecy, we don't really have peace. Not when the voices in our minds tell us that we're pathetic, weak, being "bad," or that no one would love us if they only knew.  In this episode we map out a plan for Julie to finally end the hiding and break out of the shame that has plagued her since her childhood. It's a juicy one!  Book mentioned: "It wasn't your fault" by Beverly Engel.

"I am 54 years old, and I don’t know how to eat if I'm not dieting"
When decades of your life have been spent alternating between binge eating and dieting, it makes to not know how to eat "normally". Many people we work with are accustomed to following a rigid low-calorie meal plan, punctuated by periods of eating excessively.  But to lose the binges, we also need to kick the habit of rigid dieting to the curb.  In this short episode, we'll clear up what foods are okay to eat, how much to aim to eat, and how to handle the ultimate question: "to have dessert, or not to have dessert?"

How To Keep Resentment and Rebelliousness From Holding You Back
Have to do this. Can't eat that.  Over and over, these mandates drive a person crazy. Many of clients say that it builds up over time, and they snap. They just want to eat and eat, in opposition to feeling pushed around by all the responsibilities and demands on them. They want to feel free, like they can have or do whatever they want in at least one small area of life. Can't food be the one place they get to cut loose?  Subscribe to the premium channel for Bonus Episodes and Recorded Client Sessions Hear the real conversations which move people past binge eating and emotional eating.

Binge Eating, Trauma, and How They Are Related
While reliving fond memories can be a pleasant way of interacting with our past, many people's personal history also include trauma. I personally didn't realize how much the things that happen to us contribute to the people we are today, including the way we make food decisions and see our bodies. Until I started researching, and then I began to see how deep this topic really ran.  Subscribe to the premium channel for Bonus Episodes and Recorded Client Sessions Hear the real conversations which move people past binge eating and emotional eating.
