Weight-Loss Apocalypse

After 8 years, author Robin Phipps Woodall publishes a second edition of WLA-book 1 in preparation for her new book due out in January 2020, WLA-book 2. With over 52 pages of NEW content, this second edition of Weight-Loss Apocalypse examines the impact dieting has on urges to eat emotionally.

OVER EATING IN RESENTMENT AND AS AN ACT OF REBELLION: The judgment and criticism coming from her father, combined with her effort to please him, has resulted in feelings of anger, rage, resentment, and bitterness. The act of eating has become a psychological weapon against the control of her father's opinions. The strain that develops between the desire to please others by losing weight and restricting food, and the desire and survival mechanisms that seek to eat food in safety, ultimately ends in eating as a form of self defense and an act of rebellion. This is like breaking your own toys so that others can't play with them, even though you can't play with them either...as if hurting yourself will hurt others. You hurt yourself to feel free from commitments you don't think you have a choice over. The truth is you have a choice and no one is holding yourself to these ideas and commitments but you. The goal is that you're willing to let go of the approval you think ...

WHEN CURIOSITY ABOUT YOUR WEIGHT TRIGGERS EMOTIONAL EATING This is our 8th session, talking about the freedom from emotional eating and anxiety around food, and how hope and curiosity about weight loss triggers a relapse. You can experience an initial freedom from the dark disordered mind of an eating disorder when you choose to accept your body AS IT IS...however, when that acceptance is temporary and you go back to wondering about your weight, the darkness and misery will return.

This is our 4th session. She describes what recovery feels like. As long as she accepts her body, other's disapproval because of it, and fear of health problems, this freedom with continue. Once fear of her body and fear of other's disapproval because of it returns, this freedom will disappear. Experiencing life without obsessing over your body and food, even if it is a temporary experience, is a valuable part of recovery. It allows you the awareness that freedom DOES exist.

After feeling freedom from her mind being fixated on food, and worried about her weight (she weighs over 250 pounds), her urges to binge disappeared. However, as she started to feel physically better she became curious about her weight. After getting excited to weight herself, the fixation on, anxiety about, and urges to binge increased. RECORDED OCTOBER 2017

Until she almost died in the hospital, she refused to admit her disorder was a "bad" thing. She valued her bulimia and actually praised it in her mind for over 50 years. She typifies the ultimate thin supremacist. She now sees her narcissistic self and regrets her past.

She used to be complimented on her body and to maintain her body-image status. The more she dieted the more she struggled to stop eating emotionally. When she reached out she was in a hole of depression and hopelessness to recover from obsessing over dieting, food, and her body. After a couple months of work, addressing body image and the link to her desperate need to be thin, she is feeling more at peace with her body...although she still overeats not wanting to gain more weight and envying others who diet and lose weight.

This is our second session. She is facing very difficult memories...especially with regard to her parents. We discuss the compassion that is required to forgive parents when they did the best job they possibly could with respect to the times, culture, and their personal capacity (emotionally and intellectually) to parent...even when their parenting might have unintentionally contributed to mental health problems in their children.

This is our first session after having a consult a few months back. She left the consult angry at what was said...but now recognizes she needs to accept the truth, even though it hurts. That hurt is where recovery occurs! RECORDED OCTOBER 2017

She suffered from anorexia/bulimia for over 50 years and is having to face early childhood trauma...stemming from gang rape and her father's death. She's scared that if she gains weight she won't be attractive and is going to be vulnerable to being discarded.

This is our 90 minute consult...she reached out for help after listening to my youtube sessions for over two years. She thought she was better, but joining a weight-loss group through an excercise/suppliment direct sales company. Predictably, her binge eating behavior returned.

We discuss the narcissistic nature of survival as it functions to be self-preserving, magnifying within one's mind his/her self importance. This is why, in a culture that worships narcissistic concepts of superiority and inferiority, people seek to obtain approval through beliefs like thin supremacy. This client is recognizing how important it is for her to stop enabling herself. She chose to stop monitoring her weight, which is HUGE for someone who has weighed herself to confirm her supremacy.

It's that time of year!!!! Celebrating 8 years since publishing Weight-Loss Apocalypse by discounting the 90 minute consultation. If you're going to schedule a consultation, this is the best time to do it!

As a way to commit to letting her "thin-supremacist" self go, she held a funeral to symbolize the end of that part of her life. This is a great session describing the freedom than can occur when you allow your body to be what is was meant to be...without hiding it, dieting, or force feeding.

After three years since talking with each other, she is reaching out to Robin to discuss the hCG protocol. They discuss her negative feelings about her weight as being distorted to feel worse than it really is. She recognizes that she is wanting to fix the body as a way to distract from a negative life circumstance. Instead of facing the hopelessness she feels about her life situation, she turns to fixing her body to feel as sense of control. This shows up as negativity with the body, and gratification and control through weight loss. However, weight loss won't solve her original life problem.

HOLD ON FOLKS!!!!! My Weight-Loss Apocalypse, Weight-Loss Apocalypse-1, and Weight-Loss Apocalypse-2 will hopefully be published before the new year!!! The entire Thin Supremacy series will be published in 2020.

She has been bulimic for over 50 years and is finally ready to give it up. We discuss how easy it is to convince yourself you don't have a problem, and how difficult it is to have the humility to tell yourself the truth.

We discuss her experience going to the beach and how different it is when she isn't judging her body the same way. The goal is that going to the beach is about the beach, NOT about the way your body looks. We discuss feelings of apathy and hopeless while experiencing mental darkness and misery.

This is our first session, and we discuss how she maintained her narcissistic superior thinness with an eating disorder. She lost all of her teeth, destroyed her digestive system, and near died because of her obsession doing whatever it takes to stay thin. Not only has she suffered physically, but she's suffered emotionally and socially. Her narcissistic need to be superior through body image has separated her from true meaningful relationships.

Her husband won't have sex with her unless she is 110 pounds. This weight requires she literally starve permanently. She's reconciled that her marriage could be over because she will never again diet to lose weight for him ever again.

In this session, we discuss the urge to overeat when life is unfair. Seeking a form of compensation when people feel victimized by life is a common reason dieters emotionally eat. The combination of feeling bad about your body, believing you need to lose weight, agreeing to future food restrictions, and feeling bad about a life stress promotes pleasure seeking behavior with food and overeating. Because there is a future diet that will "fix" the consequential fat gain, over eating for emotional reasons is justified and rationalized.

This is the beginning of her recovery process. It is peaceful to start...We discuss the freedom it feels to not be focused on weight loss and to have freedom from worrying and stressing out about food. This initial freedom is common when people start the process, because they are so miserable they are willing to temporarily surrender weight loss to get relief. Many people revert back to body image and food stress as they bring back the desire to be thinner. This is the beginning of an up and down process with this client. RECORDED SEPTEMBER 2017 #thinsupremacy #dietbingedietcycle #bodyimage #weightlossapocalypse #eatingdisorder #ed #bed #ana #recovery #surrender #grace #selflove #bodylove #freedom

We discuss what it feels like to let go of control and to relax around letting the body tell you when and how much to eat. It takes humility to recognize fighting for control has brought about incredible pain and suffering...There's suffering controlling fear and stress about life by eating, but also when controlling insecurity through weight loss. After successfully controlling food and losing weight, it can be incredibly difficult to let go of that success and the pride acquired, to get relief from the suffering of how the mind works when imposing diets. RECORDED SEPTEMBER 2017

This is our initial consult. She came to me to help her get through a round of the hCG protocol. But every time she's done it, she freaks out after and ends up emotionally eating. We discuss the link between body image and fear of weight gain after a person loses weight, to strain and tension with food. Ultimately, the fear of weight gain projects onto fear of food--triggering survival mechanisms geared toward WANTING AND NEEDING FOOD. RECORDED SEPTEMBER 2017

Despite her intense desire to feel better, she doesn't recognize her anger and resentment toward her parents is why she's miserable...and why she assumes fixing her body will make everything better. It's as if losing weight will somehow relieve her of criticism from her parents which will relieve her misery. THE MISERY IS HER ANGER AND RESENTMENT. And she justifies bingeing and over eating as a way to gratify those feelings. She eats to get a sense of freedom from the criticism she received from them when she was a child...and continues to feel even though her parents have passed away. We discuss codependency and the drama triangle.

We discuss how negative body image changes the hCG protocol. The emotional goal of losing weight to feel better about yourself for emotional reasons makes the protocol a "diet." IT IS NO LONGER A MEDICAL TREATMENT THAT IS FOR THE BODY. The hCG protocol done as a diet is about emotional benefits...the protocol done as a medical treatment is about the body. We discuss what it feels like to love the body unconditionally, which means you have to emotionally face the fears you'd rather hide from.

After two years since our last session, she is reaching out asking for help to do another round of the hCG protocol. We discuss Maslow's hierarchy of needs, evolutionary psychology, and survival mechanisms around eating as well as body image. I explain the similarities of thin supremacy to "small feet supremacy" and food binding.

This client is struggling with humility. She felt humiliated at a party when a person talked down to her and told her she was stupid. Humility is complicated in cases where you think people are offensive. I discuss the ability to recognize that rude people are more concerned with themselves then they are the people they are rude to. This session is a good observation of the suffering of a person who has been a victim of narcissism, or co-narcissism. She is on the compliance side of narcissistic abuse. She is largely affected by other's opinions of her to an extreme way. There is so much suffering in this state of mind. What she needs is a safe place to develop inner strength and competence. She needs a big hug too. She is experiencing sadness in this session. RECORDED AUGUST 2017

She *thinks* eating carbs triggered her to binge. But when we discuss her feelings of deprivation, insecurity, and victim-hood that occurred prior to eating the carbs, she can see it isn't the carbs that triggered her. It was her feelings of insecurity and burden that were the trigger. We also look into why she continues to eat emotionally when her desire for weight loss is so strong. This is a discussion about cognitive distortions and how being emotional about weight distorts how we relate to food. RECORDED SEPTEMBER 2017

After doing the hCG protocol multiple times successfully, she lost a large amount of body fat. Prior to that, she always felt bad about her weight and yearned to be thinner. The attention, pride, and positive reinforcement she felt after losing 50 pounds turned into a high she desperately tried to keep. The problem attaching emotional wants and needs to the results of Dr. Simeons' hCG protocol is that the person is highly likely to strictly diet once the protocol is over. This perpetuates the diet, binge, diet cycle and whatever was healed during the protocol will be damaged again. This client is feeling intense shame and anguish after regaining the weight, and believing she's a failure. She feels worthless because she couldn't keep the narcissistic high and supply she gained being "special" and "superior" being thinner.  RECORDED AUG 2017

She continues to justify eating as she feels sorry for herself and in resent and anger about her past. When eating is a way you learned to gratify the victim, or to pacify the child in your mind that's having a fit, to stop eating for that reason would mean you'd have to reconcile your perceptions IN HUMILITY. This requires you FIRST surrender diets that enable the victim mentality.

She wants to know how to accept your body, when other's are going to judge you because of it. This is directly tied to Maslow's Third Hierarchy of Needs, to want to feel worthy of love and inclusion to survive with our tribe. We aren't wired to seek survival alone. When you hold yourself to high standards, to feel worthy of inclusion and love... you are the judge, and you are the one who believes you are worthy of judgment. The goal is to believe you are worthy of love and belonging even if others don't agree. It is your job to validate your life, NOT THEIR'S.

It's very difficult to accept weight gain when a diet was used as a way to justify overeating. The only reason people fee safe to eat excessively is because they assume a future diet will eventually fix all of the damages. To permanently accept gained weight to break the cycle between dieting and bingeing and dieting and bingeing, when you ONLY ate thinking that weight gain would be short term, would require you take responsibility for the damages that have been done...no blame, no delusions of victim hood, no hiding from the consequences.

She reached out for my help after suffering greatly dieting, depriving food, bingeing, and obsessing over her size and weight. She struggles to let go of wanting thinness, but wants freedom from the crazy diet binge diet cycle. We discuss the point of body image, thin supremacy, narcissism, and why this issues promote eating disorders. RECORDED AUGUST 2017

When a belief about "health" puts you in a position to fear your own body, to fear food, and to be in constant triggered survival mode... isn't that belief what's unhealthy? Especially if it puts you in defense of eating and access to food when there isn't REAL famine? Consider the UNHEALTHY beliefs that position you to live in chronic fear. RECORDED AUGUST 2017

She recognizes how the pressure to lose weight triggers binge eating. The feelings that food is going away increases the urge to eat or "feast" before dieting "famine." In order for her to recover from binge eating, she will need to surrender dieting and allow her body to heal itself. By never dieting again, she is forced to face how she eats to cope with emotional stress.

Sometimes having an ED gives you a sense of purpose, identity, and a sense of knowing what to do. To give that up would feel empty, purposeless, and as if you don't know who you are or what to do. She suffered from anorexia and bulimia for much of her adult life. She is struggling to surrender being thinner, but also letting go of the struggling between food, dieting, and the "purpose" she's received from her eating disorder. Without the crazy she feels bored.

She suffered from binge eating for over 30 years. We are discussing how different the impulse to overeat is when you no longer shame yourself. When diets are removed, the physical pain of overeating is more recognizable. We discuss survival mode and the impulse to overeat if when it is forecast that food is going away.

She was raised in a very strict religion and was given praise for being thin, "perfect," and "smart." As she began to question the religion, her focus shifted from needing a religion to controlling her body. She worshiped dieting, controlling food, and the idea that being thinner was healthier. As she let go of her need to be thinner her urges to binge significantly reduced. However, she still held herself to concepts of "health" through food restrictions. This round of sessions we honed in on the beliefs of health to discuss the underlying fears she would need to face in order to fully recover. We discuss survival mode and the link to her ocd behaviors.

She suffered with anorexia and bulimia, more so after having children and trying to lose pregnancy weight. She is struggling to let go of her desire to be thinner and fear of food, even though she has suffered greatly. We discuss the victim "poor me" mentality that occurs during the process of recovery as a HUGE block to getting freedom. RECORDED JULY 2017

This client is struggling to understand the link between her shame about her body, and the pressure to lose weight for health reasons and her impulse to eat excessively. The link is the "diet famine" concept. Believing the food is "bad" makes it seem as if she must restrict it to keep from feeling "bad" about her body. Aslo, using the hunger scale feels like a "diet" to her when she wants to eat emotionally. This process can be very confusing, especially when people don't understand the impact diets have on bingeing and enabling emotional eating. RECORDED JULY 2017

We discuss the reasons why people are motivated to evaluate other's value or worth, or lack of value and worthlessness. The desire to be "superior" is a desire to be safe from judgment, rejection, and abandonment. This desire stems from survival mechanisms that are centered around self-preservation. This is the nature of the "ego" and the idea that being "the best" or being "special" makes you safe from the threat of rejection.

She suffered with bulimia and anorexic tendencies for over a decade. After having a baby and wanting to lose pregnancy weight gain, she went back to strict dieting behaviors to lose weight. As she wanted to eat more, she brought back her bulimic purging.  We address feelings of loss that occur with weight gain, in order to accept PERMANENT loss of the eating disorder.

We discuss what her life would be like if she was willing to accept her true body. Her mind would be set free to pursue an open and spacious life. She is struggling to accept the truth of her body without having to diet an exercise excessively.

She suffers from bulimia and is struggling to let go of being thin. She has suffered obsessing over her size and shape for years. After having a baby, her drive to lose weight intensified and predictably, so did her urges to binge and purge. She's been trying to use the hunger and fullness scale as a "diet".

We discuss the connections between outside triggers and inside stress, coping and hiding by eating food, and using diets to enable that eating. She is struggling to differentiate true hunger from stress hunger, ESPECIALLY since she is still judging her body and then judging food. She has guilt when she eats, no matter if its "good" or "bad." When she thinks she has irreparably failed because she's eaten, she relies on a future diet to fix the "damages." The dieting gives the false sense that emotional eating doesn't have any consequences.

"As soon as I was put on a diet, I couldn't stop thinking about food." This is our initial consultation. She has suffered from binge eating disorder since she was a young child. She was deprived from an early age for different reasons. It started with food allergies to dairy that naturally resolved. After dairy was reintroduced she initially over ate. Because her mother was scared she was gaining weight,  dairy was removed again from her diet. She became very resentful and began to hide food. RECORDED JUNE 2017 #thinsupremacy #weightlossapocalypse #bodyimage #bingeeatingdisorder #foodaddiction #recovery

In order to recover, it is REQUIRED you surrender and accept you have FAILED...without feeling sorry for yourself. If you feel sorry for yourself, you are still in pride, arrogance, and narcissism. Humility is a state of mind that accepts the truth, even if the truth could be seen negatively by others. With an eating disorder, when you recognize your way of living is horrible and is failing miserably, and you are willing to admit YOUR way sucks...humility allows you to put down your weapons of war and accept loss without defining yourself negatively. #thinsupremacy #weightlossapocalypse #bodyimage #ed #eatingdisorder #recovery #surrender #surrendering #humility

THIS SESSION IS EPIC. This woman in her 30's and has suffered from anorexia/bulimia since she was 14. She is almost 6 ft tall and 135 pounds and she wants to do the hCG protocol because she believes she needs to be leaner for "health." Clearly, she is cognitively distorted in fear of her body. We thoroughly discuss "food addiction" and how if the way a person fixes the binge damage changes the amount of food they binge on, that the issue is NOT food.  We discuss her history...

She was obsessed with fitness, exercise, and "clean eating." This was her way of trying to feel successful as she repressed guilt and shame regarding the divorce of her marriage.

This is the first part of a consultation with Robin. This client found Robin on youtube searching for information on the hCG protocol but also on emotional eating and bulimia.

She has suffered with an obsession over her weight, dieting and has struggled with emotional eating as a result. We worked on her body image issues prior to this round of hCG. Her body has an autoimmune problem and was hoping to see if the hCG protocol could help relieve the symptoms. However, even though she lost body fat and was eating next to nothing... her autoimmune symptoms flared up big time. We discuss how that could happen under the circumstance. In this session we discuss the hCG protocol, what has made this round the easiest and most successful round, and how a doctor might know if the protocol actually worked for the endocrine system and metabolic system.

She was molested as a child, and lived in resentment about her body. Trying to "fix" her body became a huge coping mechanisms that ultimately triggered her survival mechanisms with food. We discuss what it took for her to let it go. She talks about the years of therapy that didn't get this type results. #bed #ed #complexptsd #bodyimage #recovery #bingeeatingdisorder #eatingdisorder #emotionaleating #foodaddiction #thinsupremacy #weightlossapocalypse #victimmentality #recovery

She believed she was addicted to sugar...after two weeks of work together she is blown away at how effortless it is to eat less sugar when she takes away the "badness." When you remove the pressure to lose weight, you remove the pressure to restrict "bad" food, and as the pressure to be perfect goes away, so does bingeing. This is the beginning of her recovery process, she will still need address underlying emotional relationships with food that are dysfunctional. #bed #ana #bodyimage #thinsupremacy #sugaraddiction #bingeeatingdisorder #recovery #bodylove #selfesteem #weightlossapocalypse #perfectionism #dietobsession

She hadn't had sex with her husband in over 6 months.... The martyr role and victim mentality for having accept your body is one of the biggest blocks to recovery. Unless you surrender the thinner body image, you'll have to suffer with your disordered eating and diet-binge-diet lifestyle.

She was put on a diet as a young child. She recalls the bingeing started after her mother chose to protect a boyfriend who was abusive, instead of protecting her daughter. We discussed in a previous session her resentment and total disappointment in her mother, and  dieting became and terrible punishment that made her feel the need to protect and entitle access to food. Because of dieting, food became an important way to take care of herself and to defend herself when she felt restful and angry. To recover, she will need to forgive her mother and compassion for why she developed a resentful need for food. #thinsupremacy #weightlossapocalpyse #bodyimage #sugaraddiction #foodaddiction #resentment #victimhood #dramatriangle #bingeeatingdisorder #bed #eatingdisorder #ed #help #rehab #escapingprison

She goes in and out of recovery and wants to stay recovered, but she also wants to be thinner and feels like a victim. It can feel like death and that life is worthless even though you'd be free from ED suffering and open to living life authentically. This client continues to get stuck when she feels powerless and like a victim. She continues to believe her suffering is other people's fault, blaming life, her body, her parents, and recovery for her misery. This is typical when a person has narcissistic tendencies.

POWERFUL SESSION...We discuss the need to look at life differently in order to recover. If you always think and do what you've always done, nothing will change. To evolve, it requires you explore the vulnerability of what you DON'T KNOW. If you want freedom you have to be willing to let go of what's familiar.

She compensated for her feelings of victimization growing up by striving for superiority and perfection. As an adult she has been very successful at achieving what she wants, except for being thin.  We discuss her impulsive jump into doing another round of the hCG protocol, and how that is going to take her through another cycle of suffering. RECORDED APRIL 2017 #bed #bingeeatingdisorder #emotionaleating #perfectionism #dietbingecycle #bodyimate #hcgdiet #weightlossapocalypse #thinsupremacy

This client has done the hCG protocol over 10 times. She got down to her lowest weight ever and was preaching low carb/keto, but was secretly bingeing. We discuss how different this round is than previous rounds and how different she feels about the restrictions, the food, her weight, and the size change her body is experiencing. #hcgdiet #bingeeating #bed #ed #emotionaleating #dietbingecycle #bodyimage #weightlossapocalypse #thinsupremacy RECORDED APRIL 2017

We discuss the high and euphoria of a binge that comes because of the freedom from the torment of obsessing over food restrictions, good or bad food, and all the stress of dieting. As well, we discuss the euphoria experienced when you fantasize about being thinner. Its all very dysfunctional and both dieting and bingeing feed into each other.

This is their third and fourth hour discussing freedom from thin-supremacy and life held hostage by body image. We take it step by step to understand why the way to recovery REQUIRES you surrender thinness FOREVER.

This is our first and second hour after the consultation. She spent decades chasing thinness and struggling with "food addiction" as  a consequence. This session is a heart-breaking look into the suffering and pain that is the reality for all people using body image and food and diets as weapons.

We discuss the difficulty seeing the abuse in shaming body fat, isolating yourself, and food restriction. In this session we take a closer look at co-dependency, Stockholm syndrome, and how the client believes their self-abuse is worth it. #thinsupremacy #weightlossapocalypse #bodyshame #bingeeatingdisorder #bed #dietbingediet #eatingdisorder #emotionaleating #ed #ana #narcissism #codependency #dramatriangle

This is our second session. After sustaining an anorexic lifestyle for over a decade, she lost control when she left home to care take for her aging parents. She blamed herself for failing to be able to control herself with food in an uncontrolled environment. She felt shame and guilt- driving her need to go back to diets. #emotionaleating #bodyimage #dietbingediet #thinsupremacy #selfesteem #bed #eatingdisorders #ana #anorexia #orthorexia #weightlossapocalypse #bulimia

She has been body shamed and starved since she was 10 year old. After decades of therapy, continued dieting, and prolonged emotional eating and binge eating, she decided to work with Robin after reading Weight-Loss Apocalypse.

She has done the hCG protocol 8 times. Lost large amounts of weight, binge ate in hiding, regained. Did the protocol again...lost the weight. Binge ate in the closet, etc. In this session we discuss the protocol as tool for recovery, and possible help with her rheumatoid arthritis. Is she ready this time around? #bingeeatingdisorder #bingeeating #bed #eatingdisorder #recovery #ana #ocd #hcgdiet #bodyimage #weightlossapocalypse #thinsupremacy

She was a chubby child and gained a significant amount after bingeing for months when her brother died. After living for decades going between dieting and bingeing, she decided to contact Robin. This is their consultation. Recorded March 2017 #bodyimage #ed #dietbingecycle #foodaddiction #bingeeatingdisorder #bed #ana #ednos #recovery #thinsupremacy #weightlossapocalypse

Do you suffer from health-narcissism? If you do, you probably follow and dogmatically believe radicalized fear-based inflammatory threats sold by the "health" industry. This client has realized that she is far healthier after accepting the risks of "unhealth." #thinsupremacy #dogma #fearmonguring #orthorexia #anorexia #emotionaleating #ana #bulimia #bingeeatingdisorder #bed #complexptsd #codependency #bodyimage #recovery #narcissism #weightlossapocalypse #selfacceptance #survivalmode

After losing 40 pounds doing the hCG protocol (stricter than it was intended), she found that her desire for food was insatiable. She regained all 40 pounds and felt incredible embarrassment because people at work saw her lose and then regain the weight. She's had ups and downs, but the root of the problem surfaced as she saw herself in the mirror and felt disgusted by herself. She is a doctor and feels ashamed at work, knowing how much people judge obesity. But she can't seem to control her issues with food either Recorded March 5, 2017 #bed #eatingdisorder #ed #bingeeating #emotionaleating #bodyimage #dietbingecycle #thinsupremacy #weightlossapocalypse #recovery

DO YOU FEEL SORRY FOR YOURSELF ON THE HCG PROTOCOL? The victim mentality returned within days of the very low calorie protocol. After two weeks she started bingeing again and decided to quit the hCG protocol.

This is our fourth session. She has been struggling to fully accept her body after regaining 60 pounds. As a doctor she has to accept ignorant criticism and body shaming from other doctors and patients who have no idea how much she's suffered trying to fix her weight. Recorded Feb 2017 #bed #bingeeatingdisorder #dietbingecycle #bodyimage #ed #eatingdisorder #emotionaleating #help #thinsupremacy #weightlossapocalypse

The hCG protocol requires temporary radical restrictions from a variety of food and for this reason it can be extremely dangerous for people who suffer from eating disorders and body image issues. When the protocol is approached as a medical therapy and procedure it takes on a different meaning and the psychological vulnerability is less. #eatingdisorders #bodyimage #victimrole #shamerecovery #anorexia #ana #bulimia #ed #recovery #weightlossapocalypse #thinsupremacy

This client hasn't had the urge to binge since she first started working with Robin. But after she experienced family stress she found herself pacing the candy isle at the super market. Robin explains why the urge to binge returned after experiencing stress.

After struggling to swallow the pride of her health-righteousness, she finally has the humility to accept failure, and is now working on the grace needed to forgive herself. #orthorexia #ed #eatingdisorder #bingeeatingdisorder #bed #healthobsession #ocd #weightlossapocalypse #thinsupremacy

THIS IS OUR 90 MINUTE CONSULT. She describes her husband's cancer, gambling, her struggles as an African-American trying to feel valued, and her life-long drive to be thin in order to feel validated.

She came to Robin a year ago desperate to heal her body, but desperate to recovery from the obsessive compulsive diet/binge cycle. She is still struggling to let go of her orthorexic way of thinking about food, but to also let go of her desire to be "healthy". Because of this she is still overeating and feeling bad about eating. Especially when she think's other people are criticizing the "health" of her food.

She sacrificed her sanity for other people's approval. Not only did she obsess over being thinner, but she suffered for decades from comparing herself to others. #thinsupremacy #obsession #ocd #depression #bodyimage #eatingdisorder #anorexia #orthorexia #bulimia #bingeeatingdisordr #bed #ana #ed #addiction #recovery #rehab #weightlossapocalypse #anxiety
