The End of Binge Eating Begins Right Here

Are you absolutely sick of the out of control eating? Is it taking valuable time and energy away from your one and only life? Have you tried to quit and feel you just can’t?

You are not alone, my friend!

Here’s the good news: There is nothing wrong with you. You are not flawed in some way. You are not abnormal and beyond repair. Recovery is completely available to you!

Here’s the GREAT news: binge eating is just a habit. The problem was created through a series of events with a reward at the end of it. Your brain connected the activity with survival. It now drives you to repeat it. That’s it!

Here are some fallacies you may have been led to believe:

• You binge to cope with problems. Once you get to the bottom of the problems, and then fix them, the binge-eating will go away.

  • Nope. The only connection binge-eating has with your problems is that you “attached” a feeling to an action and then created a habit through repetition. You can fix your “problems,” but that will not fix the binge-eating habit.

• There is something wrong with you.

  • Nope. You are quite normal, with a normally functioning brain. Once you understand how your brain works, you will see a clear path to recovery.

• You lack self-control. You are weak. You are at the mercy of this disease.

  • Nope. That’s like saying, “you are weak because you feel compelled to brush your teeth before going to bed. ” Or “You are at the mercy of brushing your teeth before going to bed.” You were not born brushing your teeth. You learned the habit. You were not born a binge-eater. You learned the habit. And if you learn a habit, that means you can also unlearn it.
