    How to Move Away From Calorie Counting

    How to Move Away From Calorie Counting

    Are you a long term calorie counter? Then you may want to consider whether it is helping or hurting your journey to breaking up with binge eating. What we have seen with clients is that calorie counting and binge eating are linked, and can unfortunately perpetuate the pendulum swing of binge and restrict.
    Maybe you have used calorie counting as a way to manage your weight or feel more in control around food, but instead it has made you feel less in control and more disconnected from your body as a result. If you have listened to this podcast before, then you know that we like to help clients feel more connected to their needs, both physical and emotional. We help clients develop these kinds of skills every day! 
    With real client (and personal) examples of how to go through this process, join Georgie and Christina to take your first steps of breaking up with calorie counting!

    Today, Georgie and Phyllis have a great conversation. You may remember Phyllis from a previous episode. Like most of our clients, Phyllis has been working on recognizing her emotions and handling them in new ways to decrease her reliance on food. You may have heard a lot of them on this podcast! There are so many tools that we have covered over time; it can be overwhelming or easy to forget all of the tools we have!

    You may wonder, which of these tools am I supposed to use again? It turns out there's no right or wrong tool and sometimes the most helpful thing we can do is simply to review them. That's exactly what Georgie and Phyllis do in this episode. Below is a graphic with a summary of 12 different strategies that you can use that you can download it yourself and keep it somewhere handy. You never know when you're going to need it.

    Check out the graphic here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZbhXbx4mmeuQKEYSA

    How to Recover From A Slip Up With Compassion

    How to Recover From A Slip Up With Compassion

    “We all make mistakes” - you’ve heard that so many times that I bet it’s practically meaningless. It’s like a bland hallmark card inscription that has zero power for most of us. Many people who are working on improving their relationship with food, such as stopping binge eating or emotional eating say their #1 struggle is how to recover after slipping up. 
    Knowing what to do AFTER a slip is often more important than perfecting the art of preventing them. Yes, we want to prevent them, too, But if we focus all of our efforts on the things we need to do to prevent binges or overeating incidents, a client is left with a major problem when slips happen. 

    Join Georgie and Christina in this episode to hear how we guide our clients through the skill of managing slip ups with compassion. You will hear how to identify where you are amongst the four stages of pathology in a slip up condition, along with our practical guide of do's and don'ts when you find yourself in the aftermath of a slip up.

    What You Can Do If You Have Both Binge Eating And Depression

    What You Can Do If You Have Both Binge Eating And Depression

    To unlock this and ALL the subscribers-only episodes with real clients and conversations, join us at georgiefear.com/podcast.

    Depression impacts a lot of people with binge eating disorder. Research studies have determined that out of 100 people with B. E. D., between 32 and 40 of them have co-occurring major depression. Approximately 1 in 5 people with major depressive disorder also suffers from binge eating symptoms. All of this is to say that it's not at all rare to be managing B. E. D. along with another condition.

    That is why in today's episode, Georgie shares not only the links between, the struggles and stigmas, and the most effective treatments to overcome these health conditions. Bear in mind that these are complex ailments and managing them nearly always requires a synthesis of approaches.

    Treatments encompass psychological lifestyle, pharmacological, and social supports. Some of them are personal, some of them require a professional, some are free, and some cost money or time. Some may come easily to you, while others may require considerable bravery or effort.

    The message we want to leave you with today is one of hope. You don't have to choose between treating your depression or treating your binge eating. The same road applies to healing both. If you have a question you'd like for us to answer, need some help or support, or just aren't sure where to turn, reach out to us at georgiefear@gmail.com or by using the chat function at confidenteaters.com and we will do our best to point you in the right direction.

    To unlock this and ALL the subscribers-only episodes with real clients and conversations, join us at georgiefear.com/podcast.

    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

Learning things I have never known

Georgie and Mary Claire teach skills, share real life sessions with clients that educate and guide you on your personal healing journal with food. It’s insightful and life changing. A must listen if you have a unhealthy relationship with food, even if you have struggled for years and tried everything, you haven’t tried this.

Amazing and healing podcast

I’ve struggled with binge eating my entire life, although I wasn’t able to give it a name for a long time. Most medical providers, and even mental health providers, are ill equipped to diagnose this and even less so to treat. I started listening to these podcasts in 2022, and am working my way through them from older to newer episodes. I am staggered and beyond grateful for the evidence-based knowledge, experience, and wisdom I’ve found here. I am slowly changing my paradigm from constant dieting and food restriction to being aware of my emotional health and doing things to boost my overall physical and mental health. Eating well and exercising are things I’ve begun to embrace because they make me better and happier, not because they correlate with a number on the scale. It’s not a quick fix, and by no means am I “cured” of binge eating. But I am amazed that in the two months I’ve been listening and trying to incorporate the podcast ideas into my life, how much my life has changed for the better. I can’t thank Georgie and Mary Claire enough for this podcast series. It is literally life changing.

All all access?

So I guess all the episodes are “all access now”? Such a shame for those of us who can’t afford.
