EP #77: The 180 degree flip vs the 1 degree shift

8/3/2023

If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably tried every diet, program or solution you could find—so many of which promised rapid results. I understand the soaring hope as you start out followed by the descent into disappointment when the bingeing returns, because I’ve been there too. It makes sense to me that you want to stop bingeing right now—or yesterday—forever. But what I’ve learned from my and my clients’ lives is that living from a place of urgency and pressure for immediate change often leads to exactly the result you don’t want—slower change, no change, or backward movement. Listen to episode 77 as I talk about the exponential power of tiny marginal improvements, as outlined by James Clear in his book, Atomic Habits.

EP #76: The highs of hope and the plains of possibility

7/27/2023

Binge eaters often wonder: Is it safe for me to hope that one day I’ll be able to stop bingeing, after doing it for this long? I remember wondering this too. Then I’d risk it, try a new approach, and find myself uplifted with hope. Then, when the approach didn’t resolve my bingeing, I’d find myself dropped back into hopelessness, believing once again that freedom was impossible, a place where hope seemed a world away. Luckily hope isn’t the only thing that can inspire healing. There’s power in holding on to the possibility of healing, rather than clinging to the hope of healing. Listen in to episode 76 as I talk about how focusing on the plains of possibility offers some respite from the rollercoaster ride of hopefulness and hopelessness.

EP #75: Mid-summer goal check-in

7/20/2023

Depending on where you live, you may be about a month into summer. The summer is fraught with exposure stress for many binge eaters. With more heat comes more beach trips, more pool parties, more shorts, shorter sleeves, higher skirts, undershirts, camisoles, Speedos, and bikinis. With more flesh to be seen, the spring often brings on a deluge of summer pressure, preparations, and promises. At this point in June, those aspirations may be going swimmingly well or drowning in disappointment. If it’s the latter, or if you want to set a new goal right now, this episode is for you—it’s all about setting intensions, based on the work of Chris Burris, an Internal Family Systems lead trainer and author.

EP #74: The power of understanding guilt & shame

7/7/2023

Guilt and shame aren’t the same. And it turns out that it pays to understand how they differ and what their relationship is with binge eating. This episode explains the difference between guilt and shame, why we feel these emotions, and what they often lead us to do. When enough compassion is present, it’s possible to see how our parts that feel guilt and shame interact with harshly critical parts of us that can inflame these emotions, and with a binge eating part that tries to ease the pain and return harmony.

EP #73: Spring & easing away from shame

4/21/2023

On my road to recovery, I sometimes didn’t binge for weeks or months. And sometimes all it took to slide back into bingeing was a holiday meal—a slide that could glide on for even more weeks or months. As it turned out, I’d rock like this . . . forward, backward, forward, backward . . . for decades. This episode is about how sometimes our bingeing can worsen or come back during the holidays, even when we’re celebrating with those we love. If there’s lingering guilt or shame about this, we can feel isolated and reluctant to reach out for help. Listen in as I talk about how to ease shame and blame about binge eating.

EP #72 Setting a new table

4/6/2023

This time of year, Ramadan, Passover, and Easter are celebrations that honor what we believe, who we are, and whom we love. There are open hearts and open homes. Whether it’s sharing a tradition, a meal, or a hunt for special eggs, there are many opportunities to nourish ourselves and our relationships. The promise of renewal is everywhere. And so is food. Food could be right in front of us at a meal or circling in our minds as we wait for a meal. Either way, holidays like these can be both beautiful and challenging. If this sounds like you and you’d like some help to avoid bingeing over the holidays, you're not alone. Episode 72 is for you!

EP #71 Pain and Desire Feedback

1/12/2023

In this episode, we briefly review the food feedback loop and take a closer look at pain and desire feedback loops. If we fear a painful experience enough to escape it with food, our brains note that and determine that the pain is a threat. The more we try to muffle the pain with truffles, the more threatening the pain becomes. We shrink and the pain looms. And when the pain comes again, we’re already laced up and ready to race. To not live to our full potential is to be alone inside ourselves, to lose hope in possibility, to watch dreams wash away. As Nelson Mandela once said, “There is no passion to be found in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.” Remember Captain Marvel from back in the day when he used to wear red tights with a gold lightning streak across his chest? Well, he just yelled, “Shazam! We have our positive feedback loop.” Listen to episode 71 of The Done Bingeing Podcast where we go deeper into painful positive feedback loops that are so common among binge eaters and where we ponder the superhero in you.

EP #70 Food Feedback

1/6/2023

Sometimes it starts like this: We have food that’s concentrated in some way—maybe it’s extra savory, extra crunchy, extra sweet. And we have an amount in excess of what we need. Then we get more from the food beyond an ordinarily enjoyable way to nourish and sustain our bodies—we get an amplification of pleasure and fullness, a spike in energy, and a numbing of any pain that might be hanging around. So far, so good, perhaps. But what next? When the eating stops and the effect of the food wears off, the amplified pleasure not only goes away, but we may feel a sense of withdrawal from it. The energy spike now becomes an energy drop. And the pain comes back. Remembering that food gave us the heightened pleasure, increased energy, and escape from pain in the first place, we may go back for more. And now? Houston, we have a problem—a positive feedback loop in which the solution deepens the struggle. Listen to episode 70 of The Done Bingeing Podcast where I explore three positive feedback loops central to the experience of binge eaters.

EP #69 Being Well and Eating Well in the New Year

12/30/2022

Are you making resolutions, writing down goals, envisioning dreams? This can be a tough time for binge eaters because where a binge eater is on their journey is often quite far away from where they want to be. And when something is desperately wanted that feels far, far away, our instinct at New Year’s—especially with all the messaging that’s come our way—is to do an about face. For many binge eaters, that means a new diet starting January 1. This episode is about thinking about the new year to come, grounded in an understanding of how meeting critical needs makes living our dreams so much more possible. When our needs are met, we experience a different set of emotions than when our needs are not met. So let’s focus in on well-being! When we take care of this, we feel better, and when we feel good it’s so much easier to eat the way we dream of without the 180 that often swings back to 0 a few weeks into the year. Want to skip the 180 flip? Let’s talk. Go to www.holdingthespace.as.me/free30 and get on my calendar today for a free, 30-minute consultation.

EP #68 Feelings and festivity

12/23/2022

Tis the season to be jolly, we’re told, so you know what? Let’s talk about that. Why? Because this season really can be jolly, where feelings and festivities align. I had so many holiday seasons where I felt much love, much togetherness, and was left enthralled. Maybe you’re feeling something like that right now. This is the bliss of having our physical, social, emotional, and spirituals needs met. In this peaceful vibrancy, our feelings show it and so does our eating. Why is this important? Because when our needs aren’t met and our feelings signal that, we are far more likely to binge. Listen in to learn more! What if you imagined me all wrapped up in a bow—but nothing too sketchy, ok? Let me be a gift to you. You know in your bones that something profoundly important awaits on the other side of bingeing. And I know in my bones that the purpose of my life is to help you get there.

EP #67 When a Binge has ended

12/16/2022

When past binges are held in secrecy and shame, this can be a lonely ride … even when the candles of the menorah light up, day by day; even when lights on the trees twinkle, inside and out; even when carolers serenade before your door; and even as the Kwanzaa flag is draped, east-facing, across a table of honor. It’s one thing to feel alone when you are alone. It’s another thing altogether, when you’re surrounded by flickers and family, twinkles and tales, singers and song, and colors and the glory of freedom. In this episode, I take you through three steps to begin to transform the experience after a binge into something completely different. For decades, I spent this time of year feeling alone among the many, dark within the luminescence, divided amid the communion. I’ve been there before, my friend, and I’m here for you now. Hang out we me for a free 30-minute chat and let me show you how I can help you through it all. Not a pressured sales call, just a friendly conversation.

EP #63 Special series—12 keys to end binge eating, Key #12: Find the power in you (v)

7/22/2022

In the throes of an active episode of binge eating, you can feel completely taken over by the drive to binge—almost like that’s all you are. But the part of you that wants to binge is just that, a part. Episode 63 explores how to move toward a space of Self energy—the true essence of you. Living from that place of openness, calm, and clarity is very different from feeling taken over by a part.

It makes sense to side with the part of you that wants to stop bingeing. However, although it can seem counterintuitive, giving equal voice to the part that wants to binge often allows it to relax.

Sometimes, it can feel as though your connection with your inner wisdom has been lost, or blurred. Perhaps coping strategies have emerged that end up pulling you down—coping strategies like binge eating. Episode 60 considers why that may have happened. Now, the focus shifts toward re-establishing a sense of Self leadership that will guide you toward healing and freedom.

EP # 60: Special series—12 keys to end binge eating, Key #12: Find the power in you (ii)

12/29/2020

Perhaps it makes sense to you—on an intellectual level, at least—that you have the power inside to find a way out of bingeing. Why, then, might that wise inner leadership have sometimes been absent? If you feel confused, or even resentful, at not always being able to access that deeper sense of your Self, you might consider that even the president is evacuated in times of crisis. When that happens, others need to step in to fill the vacant protective role, albeit temporarily. This episode talks about why you may have lost your sense of internal leadership, and how the part of you that binges can begin to relinquish power as it rediscovers you.
