In today's episode, you are going to hear from one of our longtime listeners, Luisa. She wrote to us recently sharing how she has come a long way in her own binge eating recovery in the last year with the support of therapy and listening to the podcast. Way to go Luisa!

While she has already started making some really brave changes, Luisa is still getting tripped up whenever her routine changes during holidays, traveling for work, or if she is dealing with a heavy emotional upset. She wants to know how to handle a scarcity mindset, when she finds herself in different environments, or when food is over-available.

If you struggle with any of these challenges, then you are not going to want to miss this episode! We will share how to incrementally build your confidence when it comes to using emotional regulation tools more consistently. Let's help Luisa!

If you have a question you'd like for us to answer, or you want to hop on a call to practice some of the emotional regulation tools as discussed in this episode, drop us a line at georgiefear@gmail.com or use the chat function at confidenteaters.com

Have you ever wondered if you are addicted to food? Can someone be addicted to food like they can be to alcohol and other substances? Many of our clients feel out of control around certain foods, and may feel as though they are food addicted, which is why we thought this would be an important topic to cover together.
Each month, the coaches at confident eaters explore topics related to challenges we see our clients facing so that we can better support them in our work together. In today's podcast episode, you are going to hear Georgie, Maryclaire, and Christina talk about some research surrounding the idea of Food addiction and differing views on its validity.
In this conversation, the Confident Eaters team explores various aspects of food addiction and binge eating disorder. You will hear us discuss differences among clients, variations in eating behaviors, and the impact of relationships on food-related behaviors. We also delve into gender differences in binge eating disorder and personality traits associated with eating disorders. We will highlight the complexities of these concerns and the challenges faced by individuals seeking treatment, including the role of hyper-palatable foods, and the importance of promoting self-efficacy and flexibility in recovery efforts.

We know behavior change means changing our behaviors, which means that we have to give up on some things that may feel like comfortable, familiar routines. If you've attempted to change a longstanding behavior in the past, then you know it is a lot easier said than done.

You may have found that despite repeated efforts to change your behaviors, you keep finding yourself back at the same place doing the same old things. You're not alone. Smart, successful, capable people often find this is the case when it comes to food. They admit they're doing the same old things and they aren't working. Today, we will talk about how to get yourself over that threshold to do something new and different.

What hidden force is it that keeps us stuck? Join Georgie and Christina as we talk about a few potential causes and how you can get yourself unglued to finally leave behind the patterns that aren't working for you and try that new, different way.

This week, we are excited to share a Client interview from our 1:1 coaching program. Join Coach Christina and her former client, Maddie, as they discuss her journey of overcoming the binge and restrict cycle and developing food freedom.
We all have different challenges, backgrounds, habits, and lifestyles. Maddie shares her story as someone who loves to challenge herself physically, eat healthful meals, and support herself emotionally and spiritually.
But she was struggling! She was going through a lot of change and went back to some old habits of binge eating. "I thought I was past all of this!", she thought, and like so many other people, she hid in shame, trying to figure out on her own for a while. 
Maddie was once in your shoes, looking for a solution to her binge eating and found this podcast. In listening some more, she realized that she could use the support of a coach to overcome her challenges. 
We covered a lot of topics, including:
Why Maddie reached out in the first place and what made the Confident Eating approach different then things she had tried in the past.What Maddie's biggest challenges were before our work together and the obstacles she has overcome since. What it means to do the inner work of self discovery and dusting off the shame to overcome long held habits and beliefs around food and body image. Thanks to Maddie for being our guest on this week's episode and sharing her valuable experience!

"I don't know how to rest without feeling guilty". "If I rest too much I will lose my ability to work hard." or "I don't want to be lazy!" Have you ever thought these things? Then you might be experiencing what we call rest aversion.

Join Georgie and Christina, as we talk about that feeling of guilt you might sometimes experience when you try to slow down or rest and what to do about it.

If you struggle to rest from exercise, work, or getting stuff done, then we want you to know that resting can play an important role in not only binge eating recovery but also in creating a balanced and healthy lifestyle.

If you want to learn to trust yourself in rest and begin to incorporate more rest in play into your life, then check out this week's episode.

Join coach Georgie and the Confident Eaters team in today's episode, as we discuss recent updates to Emotional Eating and Binge Eating Disorder in one our monthly coaches education meeting.
One of the papers we discuss in this conversation is all about self control. If you struggle with self control or wondered if you can maximize your own, then we have good news for you! Self control is something we can strengthen and develop, no matter what your starting point is. It's like building a muscle. It takes time and you have to work on it. One of the things we learned was that your self control is actually strongest when you're part of a group or team. 
If you want to hear the episode where we explain our 3 D Process for getting past an urge, check out the episode here.
In the second paper, we discuss how common emotional eating is! The research shows that the way we cope with emotional stress can be helpful or harmful to our wellbeing. Higher levels of emotional eating are linked to higher body weight, disordered eating and depression and anxiety. We also learned that catastrophizing and self blame are particularly problematic for emotional eating and binge eating.
In order to help with these things, we will discuss how to de-catastrophize or take things more lightly after a mistake. We want to work on reducing the automatic self blame that many of us struggle with. We will discuss the antidote to self blame, which is also shown to be one of the most helpful treatments to healing from emotional eating and binge eating. Want to know what it is? Check out the episode! .
