Stop bingeing, find freedom.
I help women who binge eat find freedom from self-loathing, feeling out of control with food, and scale induced anxiety.
Understandably, my clients struggle as you do, despite being goal oriented achievers, smart, and compassionately caring in their relationships. Life is hard.
When they first come in, they are fed up with repeating the same old patterns with bingeing and restricting. For a time, they feel so measured and controlled with food and wham it is all undone with cookies or a bag of chips. They feel disgusted that they just cannot seem to stop. They are ready for change but just don’t know how to make that change happen.
They often feel they will never be good enough even though they have achieved so much in their life. They struggle with weight and body image ideals that were put in place from an early age often from well-meaning family members. Shame around their body size became a constant companion following them through adolescence and adulthood.
They worry that this struggle will always be theirs to manage and theirs alone. They vacillate between saying “screw it I am who I am and who I am is not okay.” Every day, the fit of their jeans determines how they feel about their appearance and what they can and cannot eat.
Their binge eating gets in the way of the life they want in so many ways. They aren’t the kind of partner they want to be. They constantly struggle to believe that their partner can truly love them unconditionally. They are convinced their body size must have something to do with it. So, they are not able to be fully present with the one they love the most.
They feel like they are constantly failing as mothers. They cannot stop trying to perfect everything in themselves and for others. They often worry about what habits and mindsets their kids might be picking up on. They want their kids to have a sense of freedom around food they were never able to have. Yet anxiety follows closely as they allow their kids to eat and do what they were not allowed to.
At work they feel on top of it. They look successful on the outside. On the inside they feel like a failure thinking, “How can I have it so together in some areas and feel so out of control with food?”
Before they came to me, they feared that this was just the way it was going to be. This constant cycling between determination with restriction and failing with binges. They were afraid to admit this and openly face these fears. It just felt so terrifying to confess how much guilt and shame they carried daily. And they were pretty certain that no matter how hard they tried they would never feel okay with their bodies.
Like my clients you deserve to break free from constantly thinking about and managing anxiety around food.
Learning to embrace food freedom and body acceptance is not out of reach.
If you want to learn how to feel comfortable in your body, I would love to help you get there.
