Why you binge eat and how to stop for good.

January is here. And that means millions of people are making millions of promises. But they basically fall into 4 categories: Make more money, be happier, find love, or lose weight.

Today, I’m going to talk about losing the weight. I’m just not going to talk about it in the traditional sense that everyone else does.

Because, I’m not after the dieters.

I’m after my people: The BINGERS.

The ones who obsessively search for the latest Keto Diet, or whatever else will promise to end the cycle once and for all and then promptly end up eating a sheet cake.

I know, because I’ve been there…digging in the trash, pulling out the cookies and dusting away the coffee grinds (that I poured on them).

I’m also no stranger to diets.

In another life, I was the Director of Training and Development for a company called LA Weight Loss. And they had hundreds of locations all over the world.

So, I was entrenched in diet plans: theirs and everyone else’s in the industry because I had to know what our competitors were up to.

Now mind you, while I was teaching people how to eat 2 starches, 3 vegetables, and 3 fruits, I was stuck in a cycle of bingeing and restricting that went on for a decade.

It was Hell.

I know you know what that’s like, given you’re reading this post and watching the videos.

I know now that diet plans are band aids on flesh wounds that set people like us up for the binge/restrict cycle.

We are not meant to DIEt. We are meant to find a LIVit.

If we’re going to recover, we must be willing to get under the hood and see what’s truly driving us. And then commit to living a new way.

If you know me, you know I love a good acronym. And today’s is BINGE.

In a series of videos, I am going to lead you through each of these points.

My intention is that you find self-awareness and learn what you need to do in order to gain real control of your life and your happiness. As always, I would be honored to be a lighthouse on your path, working along side you to help you change your life.

Let’s get started with the B….

Being in the Present moment.

For us, being in our own skin is uncomfortable. There’s nothing we want less than to have to feel our feelings. The present moment is awkward when you have anxiety or depression. In the video, watch me explain how this shows up.
