If you are someone who has been on the binge-restricted pendulum for a while, with periods of what seems like success followed by periods of out-of-control moments with food, this episode is for you. I'm here to share my own experience with these approaches and why they didn't work for me and the challenges I see with many other people. I want you to be able to find that place where food feels easy and you are able to eat in a way that feels supportive and honoring to your body, mind, and spirit.

• The problem with eliminating food groups is that it often gives a lot of power to that type of food. If you think that you can't control yourself once you start eating something, chances are you will prove that to be true.
• When you are empowered, connected, and choosing what feels honoring and supportive, you won't need to disconnect from yourself with food.
• In the last episode, I talked about the 4 pillars of creating peace with food: Clarity, Connection, Compassion, and Confidence. If your approach isn't cultivating these 4 pillars, chances are you are not on a path that will be sustainable in the long term.

If you are listening to this podcast when it airs in July of 2023 and you want to learn more about cultivating these 4 pillars for yourself and creating a new identity as an eater, join me for my 2-day virtual event where we will take a deep dive into a different approach and you will discover hands-on how to go from Triggered to Trust with your Binge Food.
