We’ll also explore a stability-first approach: lowering pressure first so eating can become steadier, calmer, and more consistent.In this episode, we cover:How weight loss becomes a “permission slip” for rest, ease, and self-trustWhy dieting pressure doesn’t create consistent healthy living—it creates swingsEmotional eating as relief (“I need a break”) vs binge eating (“I can’t hold this together anymore”)The trap of making peace conditional on being smallerA simple weekly exercise to get what you want without putting weight loss in chargeWant more support?If you want to go deeper, check out All Access—my paid subscription where you can hear real coaching sessions (shared with permission) and the practical conversations that help people move from distress to stability with food.  Join at georgiefear.com/podcast (or subscribe right in your podcast app).

But binges don’t come out of nowhere—they come out of pressure.In this episode, we zoom out and name two beginnings:the day-to-day start (quiet pressure, depleted capacity, emotional eating, guilt, tightening control), andthe long-ago start (early dieting messages, unfairness about who “gets” food, and what kids learn about being lovable and acceptable).You’ll also hear why chronic pressure can make it hard to find a “first domino”—and what to do instead.This week’s practice: Pick one recent binge or near-binge and gently rewind the tape:Where did pressure start to rise?Where did I start muscling through instead of supporting myself?Where did guilt add fuel?Want in on the All-Access episodes?

In this episode, we slow that moment down and explain why loss-of-control eating is a predictable state shift that shows up more often under stress and restriction. You’ll learn what’s happening in your brain and body—and how to interrupt the spiral without needing perfection.What we coverWhat “loss of control” really means (it’s about the internal experience, not just quantity)The 4 forces that create the “brakes gone” feeling:Food as relief: your brain predicts food will helpScarcity thinking: “I shouldn’t / I can’t / I’ll make up for it later”Body vulnerability: under-fueling, fatigue, stress, depletionThe switch-flip thought: “I blew it / might as well”How stress-amplifying thoughts (“I don’t have enough time,” “this is too much”) fan the flamesA core strategy for relief: Turn to people, not food (connection lowers pressure)Tools you can try this weekStabilize your baseline: consistent, adequate meals earlier in the day (especially if nights are hard)Plate + Pause (for risk moments): eat your first portion normally, then pause 30–90 seconds and ask, “What do I need right now?”Remember: every binge has ended—you can influence when it ends next time. Any interruption counts.Coming nextWe’ll zoom out to how these patterns form over time—and where the cycle actually starts.Work with me: Coaching details are in the show notes.

We’re defining restriction in a way that actually supports recovery: not every “no” creates pressure. The kind of restriction that fuels binge eating is excessive, distress-based scarcity—and learning the difference is how you build steadiness without swinging into chaos. In this episode, we coverWhy “never say no” isn’t recovery—it’s a different trap The key distinction: regulation vs. scarcity (limits aren’t the problem; distress is) Two types of “restriction”:Practical boundaries that create stability Deprivation-based restriction that drives rebound eating Why deprivation backfires (biology, psychology, and nervous system threat) How to tell, in real time, whether a “no” is supportive or scarcity-based (the 3 questions) Work with meIf you want support building your middle path—without swinging between extremes—coaching details can be found at ConfidentEaters.com.

This 12-episode series walks you step-by-step from distress around food to something steadier and more workable—without perfection. In the Season 2 opener, we challenge the idea that loss of control is a character flaw and replace it with a more accurate frame: pressure exceeds capacity. We’ll unpack how restriction, stress, exhaustion, and emotional overload narrow your thinking and spike urgency around food, and why “clamping down” tends to increase the pressure you’re trying to reduce. You’ll leave with a gentle practice for the week—one question that lowers shame and raises capacity: What pressure was my system responding to?

Through the story of Marta, a busy mom juggling family and business, listeners learn how binge eating isn't about selfishness—it's actually a compensation for too much selflessness.Key Topics CoveredWhy binge eating doesn't occur in isolation—it's a rebound or "ricochet" from preceding circumstancesThe intersection of restraint and entitlement in disordered eatingHow excessive self-sacrifice during the day leads to compensatory eating behaviorsThe difference between healthy restraint and harmful restrictionWhy taking away the "problem food" isn't the solutionMain Story: Marta's JourneyMarta is a married mother of four who runs a home business while managing her children's busy schedules. Despite loving her life, she struggles with eating entire boxes of cookies in her car between errands. Georgie reveals how Marta's binge eating is actually an aftershock of practicing too much selflessness—skipping meals, ignoring her own needs, and constantly serving others.Key InsightsBinge eating behaviors can be understood as a solution rather than just a problemStrong emotional attachments to binge behaviors are normal—even when you desperately want to stopThe solution isn't more restraint; it's learning to ease up on the excessive ways we restrict ourselvesNot all restraint is bad—healthy restraint allows balanced decision-makingAction Steps DiscussedAllow yourself to rest when tiredMake time to eat proper mealsGive yourself permission to daydream and think about your own wantsDedicate time to activities just for yourselfExplore what you want—not just what others needConnect with Confident EatersFor more resources on achieving complete food freedom, visit ConfidentEaters.com or subscribe to the Breaking Up with Binge Eating Podcast.

It's the physical symbol of success and is most apparent to the world. Reasons for wanting to change their current state may also include bothersome achy knees, elevated blood pressure, or distress about not being a healthy role model. But the big thing that hurts them on a daily basis is the size, shape, or weight of their body. If you want to stop binge eating mostly because you want to lose weight, that's a perfectly fine reason. The goal for today's episode is to help alleviate the frustration that can grow when you're doing the right things to stop binge eating, but your weight hasn't budged. Because if we don't address that frustration, it leads people to lose focus on binge eating recovery and start focusing instead on moving the scale. We will discuss how the order of the stages of recovery matter, why weight loss before conquering binge eating doesn't work, and learn about the steps toward achieving both goals. We want to equip you with strategies to navigate your own journey to complete food freedom, including deliberate weight loss behaviors and maintaining long-term success. Episode Timeline:00:00 Introduction to the Podcast00:26 Client's Weight Loss Frustration01:09 Understanding the Root Causes04:28 Stages of Binge Eating Recovery04:47 Initial Phase: Establishing Regular Meal Patterns05:53 Building Self-Awareness08:02 Re-patterning Responses11:11 Optional Stage: Deliberate Weight Loss15:05 Final Phase: Maintenance16:54 Conclusion and Next StepsConnect with Georgie and the Confident Eaters Coaches: WebsiteFacebookInstagramHave you ever thought, "I know what to do, I just need to consistently do it"?

Eating disorder recovery certainly involves modifying your eating, but if someone only works on the food piece of their life, they often can't completely escape from the symptoms. They may relapse into binge eating again, or they might replace it with a different coping behavior. That's why this podcast covers such a broad spectrum of topics, aside from food. You may remember my client, Allison, from an episode in September, 2025, where we talked about how including joyful activities just for her was a critical missing piece of her recovery from binge eating disorder. Today you'll hear another recording of one of my sessions with Allison this time hitting on some new themes.Join us as we explore the crucial habit of managing your energy levels throughout the day.

We can all be learning, strengthening ourselves, and winning together.

This pervasive belief can be subtle, but it's not harmless. Today we are going to explore what's really going on with this belief.When we peel back the layers, we can see that the belief of "deservingness" is rooted in conditional worth messaging, internalized shame, and fear- which can all impact our food choices and self-care.

Research also demonstrates the roles of systemic inflammation and the gut-brain axis in BED. You will also hear us share about the significance of interoceptive awareness, and the strong correlation between ADHD and binge eating. One of the most the important treatment methods for BED continues to be cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) which is becoming even more accessible through digital CBT. We also discuss the promising results of GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide for reducing binge eating episodesTo no surprise for many of you, we will emphasize that BED is not a result of poor willpower but a complex condition influenced by various biological, emotional, and psychological factors. That is why our approach tackles BED as a whole body condition.

The stories we tell ourselves cast us into roles and you can be certain that they impact how you feel, the choices you make day to day, and how you eat. If you are a creative person, a writer, a poet, or artist, you probably have a really developed skill for weaving dramatic stories. You see imagery and emotion everywhere. On the other hand, if you are a person who's highly factual and logical, you may be less prone to emotional storytelling, but you still aren't immune. Join Georgie as she explains how positive it can be to shift just one of our habitual stories. Unlike most of the behavior change and skill building we talk about on this show- which takes time and rehearsal- recognizing and changing those internal narratives is something that can quickly help you get unstuck (practically immediately). Connect with Georgie and the Confident Eaters Coaches: WebsiteFacebookInstagramHave you ever thought, "I know what to do, I just need to consistently do it"?
