Me and Eating Disorder Therapist Sarah Speers developed our eating disorders working at the same place. Our paths went in different directions after that, and she first went the clinical route, where there is still widespread belief that binge eating and eating disorders are unfixable.

In this episode, Sarah and I cover: 👉 Why many of us start binge eating in the first place 👉 Why the majority of eating disorder treatment fails 👉 The hidden advantage that emotional eaters have 👉 Healing food issues on the physical, emotional, and soul levels 👉 How to ensure that you have a full, successful recovery from binge eating and emotional eating Join us!

When compulsion is driving your eating, all the willpower in the world isn’t enough. That’s because even though you *logically* know that you DON’T want to binge, all that logic is overridden by that strong, mysterious force compelling you to binge. So once the food urges creep in, all your logic and willpower don’t stand a chance against deeply-rooted compulsion. If you feel your willpower hasn’t been enough to combat these food compulsions, we’re going to talk about the piece you’re likely missing. Tune in! PS On Friday January 20, 2023, I’ll be guiding you through a process to help you get to the bottom of your compulsion with food. Join me for this rare opportunity – I usually only go this deep with my private clients! During SHIFT, I’ll help you shift away from compulsion with food in just 2 hours. Note: SHIFT isn’t about just helping you intellectually understand “how.” We’ll spend a small portion on the “how,” but the majority of the 2-hour intensive will be actual PRACTICE so you can physically FEEL a shift away from compulsion. Once you feel this shift, you can’t “unsee” it – and you’ll see that there is hope to end this compulsion with food, permanently. Registration for SHIFT is open until January 19, 2023.

"What if I need to restrict my food for health reasons?" I often receive different variations of this same question, such as: "I know restricting myself causes binges, but I really need to lose weight. How can lose weight without restricting?" "My doctor told me I need to avoid these certain foods ... how do I not eat them without restricting myself?" "I am gluten-sensitive. How do I avoid gluten without restricting myself?" "I am diabetic. How can I follow these food rules without feeling restricted?" All of these questions have the same answer. If you have this same question yourself, tune in. ________________________ To work with us, visit: katiepapo.com/program To listen to client freedom stories, visit: katiepapo.com/client-success Follow on Facebook and Instagram: KatiePapo108 For inquiries, email: coach@katiepapo.com
