3 Sneaky Reasons You Might Be Stuck In The Restrict And Binge Cycle
Restriction is sneaky.
If you’ve gotten used to creating rules around food to boost your willpower or stop the binge cycle, YOU’RE NOT ALONE.
You’ve been conditioned to normalize restriction patterns without even realizing it, which keeps you feeling stuck, frustrated & in the belief that it’s a willpower issue…and it’s not.
Alright, time for a deep, self-compassionate breath. Believe me, mind mind was kind of blown and skepticism on high alert when I learned this through my own Intuitive Eating healing & continuing education.
Here are 3 sneaky reasons you could be trapped in the restrict/binge cycle:
3. You don’t trust yourself. Even just the thought of NOT restricting certain foods is enough to send us into an anxious spiral “I can’t keep that in my house I’ll eat the entire thing!”
2. You’ve normalized the crazy “all or nothing” cycle + preoccupation around food (consciously or unconsciously) that deprives our mental & emotional energy, not to mention sabotages your wellbeing & relationships.
3. The elephant in the room: there’s a secret joy that you get out of binging & sometimes you fear giving it up. Why? Because it’s a coping mechanism.
Navigating this alone is hard. I KNOW. I’ve been there.
My clients come to me feeling defeated, disempowered, and controlled by food…And fiercely committed to making a change. Together we:
Get to the exact root cause of bingeing & clear what’s in the way of having a peaceful & nourishing relationship with food.
Build deep body trust & eliminate fear around food.
Develop tools for navigating emotional triggers & reclaiming peace of mind & living in the moment.
This process might sound simple, but it creates a profound, sustainable transformation that goes far beyond food or your body. This is your life.
