The way I tried to stop binging? Trying another diet.

The diets would be crazier, and the binges would be more frequent. Soon I was yo-yo’ing upwards of 40 pounds each and every time.

I became obsessed with food. What I was eating currently, the next meal, how I would stave off carbs at the next barbecue, and a few short days (or hours!) later I would magically find myself speeding down the highway hitting every drive thru.

I couldn’t take it anymore, but I couldn’t stop. All I wanted was to be normal around food.

I started dieting my senior year of high school. I would restrict any & everything (whole food groups, carbs, fats, sugar. You name it, I’ve avoided it), overeat when I lost weight, and began coping with my emotions by shoveling food - not aware there was an actual medical term for this.

When I stopped dieting, cut out the noise and became in tune with my body, my mind & my needs, my life forever changed.

I was no longer a slave to food.

I was no longer a slave to the scale.

I was no longer a slave to diet culture.

I was able to lose weight without stress, and maintain that weight with ease.

It isn't.

 It’s just the opposite of what diet culture taught us.

Change is possible for you - and I've helped thousands of women stop binge eating, stop overeating, lose weight, and finally stop being a prisoner to food.
