    Bleep Bulimia Episode #146 with Ronni Robinson Author and Certified Binge Eating Recovery Coach

    Send us Fan Mail Honest and crazy things we do when we have an eating disorder... this we share in this episode!!  Seriously, I know my listeners would engage with this story... Overview is "facts", this Podcast is more than that... it's about feelings... and where, how far we go with them when we have an eating disorder... in a kind and relatable way. An overview... I spoke with Ronni Robinson, a certified binge eating recovery coach and author. Ronni shared her 30-year journey with binge eating disorder, which began at age 9 with her mother hiding cookies from her, and continued through various life stages, including an abusive marriage and even after having two children. She described her recovery process, which included therapy, Overeaters Anonymous meetings, and writing a memoir called "Out of the Pantry, A Disordered Eating Journey." Ronni also discussed her achievements as a three-time Ironman triathlon competitor and her "foster fail" cat, Gio. The conversation highlighted the similarities between binge eating disorder and bulimia, with both guests sharing personal experiences of hiding disordered eating behaviors.

  3. Bleep Bulimia Episode #143 - LaurieAnn Celebrating 15 years of Freedom From Bulimia

    Bleep Bulimia Episode #143 - LaurieAnn Celebrating 15 years of Freedom From Bulimia

    Send us Fan Mail Just a quick episode celebrating my 15 years of being free of bulimia.  Some people prefer to use "recovery" as a term.  If I were to be imprisoned and be let go, that means freedom, and this is how I see my getting out of prison, food jail.  And coming out of it, I found solace and learned to be friends and enjoy each other's company without being archenemies.  Food wanted me to understand its nurturing side, so I chose to listen to society and stop seeing food as a friend but as a foe.  When I realized that society was the reason my relationship was not working with food, we came together and realized it was our mental state.  Not food and me.  Our mental misunderstanding of cultural impositions on the way people view you, of social media, or in my case, magazines, of what you SHOULD BE, and suddenly, food became the mean one. DIET, DIET, DIET... AND "diet" became a bad word because of the restrictions, yet "diet" just means what you eat.  I choose to eat what I want, not what society is going to tell me to, or what body size I should have.  That will be my choice.  Not what media puts out there, or what is expected of me as a woman... and I hope men feel the same, because I did meet male athletes who were bulimic. When you learn that food is not the enemy, that society is, and that there are better people to talk to than food, and you that being YOU!  LOVE yourself, LISTEN to yourself, FIND yourself, and food will just naturally find you as well in a healthy way.

    Bleep Bulimia Episode #140 with Fitz Koehler, Fitness Pro, 5 x Author, Speaker and Cancer Crusher

    Send us Fan Mail Fitz is a Floridian.  She has been teaching fitness since she was fourteen, which is a bit of a twist.  A twist, because when you listen to her story, you will understand. She said her major missteps when she was younger, and she is six years cancer-free! Being a Floridian, she was in good shape yet small and scrawny.  Yet she was bullied by her older sister.  (Who does that to their siblings?... wait... I do understand!!)  Being tormented by an elder sibling and being body shamed is something that is very hard to overcome. Her mother did the best that she could, provided red meats, potatoes, and butter. Although she moved on to fitness after an injury, she still struggled with her food consumption.  She wanted to be thinner.  So she learned how to be bulimic.  She said that it was just self-punishment.   Fitz joined an organization that was to prevent eating disorders, and as a closet bulimic, lectured others on the harm of eating disorders. Turn around was the time when her communal bathroom was full, so she threw up in her dorm in her garbage can.  The epiphany was Missy.  Missy was overweight, and she thought, "Would I like Missy less if she were bigger?  Would I like Missy less if she were thinner?" She admits there is still body dysmorphia, but she doesn't self-harm anymore.  She is also aware that her appearance to others will not impact them in her coaching of them. An incredibly eye-opening conversation. Fitz is now a five-time author, Fitness Pro, Speaker, and, amazingly, a cancer survivor. Her new book is: You. Supercharged! :The Exact Formula for Fitness, Weight Loss, and Longevity And you can find it on Amazon, or you can reach out to her directly for a signed copy as well at https://fitzness-store.myshopify.com/ For my listeners, also know that Fitz does, in her book, write about eating disorders. I appreciate the honesty and openness, and most of all the passion Fitz has.
