Weight-Loss Apocalypse

This client is in recovery, and is energized to go back to grad school and to exercise. All of this is an important part of starting your life over, and moving on without keeping a "binge" in your back pocket...just in case. When you let go of a hiding mechanism, such as bingeing, the risks of life are felt as you're exposed to reality as it manifests. Having the grace to not be perfect, for life not to work out, and to make mistakes or experiences loss, allows you to not need to hide from the truth.

This is our first consultation. He reached out to me, after having suffered with an eating disorder (anorexia/bulimia). We discuss when his relationship with his body went south,  and how being ashamed of his sexuality impacted his desire to feel better about his body through body image and thin supremacy.

This client is realizing she is still miserable in her fear of weight gain. Robin helps her see that if she wants freedom from her eating disorder behaviors that are the source of her suffering, it's inevitable she will have to accept weight gain. She will have to accept it with humility, grace, and courage so that she will never have the pressure to fix it later. This is the essence of what must happen to escape your eating disorder to enter recovery.

In this session, we discuss her anxiety and fear that impels her to escape that fear with psychological mechanisms to shrink, hide, avoid, and deny what's going on. In doing so, she's unware of what the trigger is because she hasn't allowed the space to face it. This content is discussed in Robin's book, Surrendering Your Survival: A Conscious Path to Eating Disorder Recovery (published in January 2021).

In this session, they discuss the urge to continue to monitor your body and to assess your body fat. This client is curious as to what her weight will be when it settles. Robin digs deep and helps her see that the curiosity is only there because her accepting of her body has specific conditions, which means her freedom from dieting is just as conditional. This is an important aspect of escaping the misery of needing to diet, monitor food, and hold onto the eating disorder behaviors.

She suffered with binge eating disorder since she stopped using drugs. After quitting drugs, she rapidly gained weight and started dieting. That's when she started dieting and her issues with emotional eating began. Years later, and over 100 pounds gained, she is trying to let go of that thinner body so that she can get relief from the suffering of her shame, and underlying sense of worthlessness.

In this session, we discuss survival mode and how beliefs about "bad" food or "unhealthy" food can trigger survival mechanisms. We talk about the incredible amount of energy and work involved in tryin to survive with a body that is believed to be dangerous.

The second book available in print!!!!! Two down, two more to go..... "In this book, author Robin Phipps Woodall builds on the significant discussion of body image from her first book, Thin Supremacy. Here she expands further to explore the overwhelming—and sometimes traumatic or even tragic—impact that negative body image has on dieting and emotional eating.  From the viewpoint of evolutionary psychology, in Diet Supremacy, Woodall illustrates how fears of social stigma, based on body fat, trigger primitive survival mechanisms that motivate people to seek safety and control through forms of “diet supremacy.” The toxic bond between negative body image and dieting while surrounded by abundance of food, promotes the angst and strain responsible for increasing one’s feeling of deprivation. The result is an increase in cravings, perceived hunger, and the impulsive drive to eat excessively. This is an important topic every weight-loss business, dieter, emotional eater, and eating disor

EVERY PERSON STRUGGLING TO RECOVERY FROM AN EATING DISORDER NEEDS TO WATCH THIS SESSION: There is a point in the process of escaping thin supremacy when you have no where to go but to either jump into the predictable cycle of suffering, or to surrender and accept the reality of what you don't know. For many people, they'd rather accept a life of suffering because it's what they know, even though it is a life of horrific darkness that they wouldn't wish for their worst enemies. This is why, to the observer, eating disorders seem to be something people will suffer with their entire life. But, when this point of CHOICE is apparent, it's clear people choose suffering over what seems like pain. AGAIN, it's assumed a life with body fat would be painful. IT'S AN ASSUMPTION. For many people, a guarantee of suffering is more appealing than the gamble of life in psychological pain. RECORDED MARCH 2018 #emotionaleating #bodyimage #eatingdisorder #ana #anorexia #bulimia

THIS IS SUCH A GOOOOOOOOOD SESSION! Watch until the end! In this session I discuss Maslow's hierarchy and survival mode that is discussed in the Thin Supremacy series of books. This client is starting to see the idea of thin supremacy as a belief rather than a truth. This is HUGE in the escape and recovery process from an eating disorder.

This client is seriously struggling. She is realizing she's trying to use the hunger scale as a diet in order to prevent weight gain. Because of this, she is continuing to feel perfectionistic pressure to restrict and consequently, she's over eating. The diet-binge-diet cycle continues over and over and over again. Robin is trying to help her have the grace needed to reduce guilt and shame about it. They also connect the dots to the victim position as a main source promoting the issues she has with her body, with dieting, with food, and with everything.

This client is struggling to forgive herself for bingeing and purging again. After having a period of time in freedom, she is feeling shame because she went back into suffering. The goal is to accept the truth of the process, and to recognize it isn't ALL or NOTHING. The struggle to surrender thin supremacy body image can take time and repeated ins and outs of dieting, suffering, bingeing, suffering, purging, suffering, and dieting again. GIVE YOURSELF GRACE!!!! Do the best you can and refuse to feel sorry for yourself.

She jumped onto another round of Dr. Simeons' hCG protocol impulsively, and she's back suffering and feeling sorry for herself for having to restrict food. The cycle between--- rejecting the body and dieting to be thinner, to rejecting the diet and accepting weight gain in order to eat--- is a pendulum swing that is MISERABLE. This all-or-nothing victim and martyr drama triangle is where many people become depressed and hopeless over time.

She is earnestly working on accepting the truth of her body, and surrendering the concept of thin supremacy. In this session, Robin discusses the problem with hoping the body won't gain weight or that the body will eventually be thinner when eating to hunger. This is a common stepping stone toward eventually letting it all go. Holding onto hope, holds onto continued suffering, worry about food, body checking, and continued focus and effort towards chasing the mirage of a superior body image.

IN the process of separating herself from the culture of thin supremacy, she struggles to understand how she's should relate to her body with respect to exercise, and living in her body. She used to do spin classes to lose weight, but she also really liked the way doing cardio feels. Can she do physical activity without the underlying desire to be thinner and to lose weight?

This client has done the hCG protocol multiple times, and like most people, had an incredible experience the first time around. She has done many rounds since, and reached out to Robin to help recover her mind and body from the insane all-or-nothing roller coaster ride. After a few sessions, she impulsively started another round because she felt "fat."

After having her mind opened, and seeing the cultural beliefs of "thin supremacy", this mom is realizing she might have raised her kids to think the same "supremacy" sort of way. As she's letting that belief system go, she is hoping she can help her kids see they don't have to hold themselves to such unrealistic standards, just to feel good about themselves. As a parent, can you forgive yourself for doing what you thought was the right thing to do, the moment you realize it was more harmful than you thought?

She is struggling to accept the feelings of negativity about her body if she isn't thinner. However, it is very clear to her that she doesn't want to diet ever again. This is a difficult place to sit, because without accepting the truth of the body, the only alternative is to go back into the suffering of having to focus and fixate on food and the condition of your body. This illusion that life with the truth of the body will be in shame and hiding, is a step that all people go through in order to experience the freedom of recovery.

She found Robin searching for help on YouTube. After 4 years, she finally decided to reach out for help. This is our 90 minute consult. We discuss the suffering that is experienced when a person is trapped inside an eating disorder, and the excruciating process of letting it go and escaping. This is a GREAT session for people who are studying this as a syndrome...Robin describes this in the third book of the Thin Supremacy series-- Body Supremacy: Exploring the Torment of Eating Disorders as a Syndrome.

This teenager has suffered with anorexia and exercise bulimia for a couple of years and is seeking help. We discuss the illusion and fantasy body images promoted on Instagram and other social media. She is working on allowing her body to determine when and how much she eats through the use of the hunger and fullness scale. This scale is described in the fourth book in the Thin Supremacy series, Life After Supremacy: Renewing the relationship with Your Body and Food (TO BE PUBLISHED JANURARY 2021).

TRIGGER WARNING: Robin holds up a strong and brutal mirror...an abrupt and harsh reality of telling the truth. This is very difficult for people who suffer with eating disorders to do, and often people want to be enabled--which perpetuates the disorder. When people come to Robin for help, she takes the role of holding a strict NO-LIE and bullshit boundary. This is imperative to escaping the body image and disorder to access recovery. Without strict responsibility to the TRUTH, nothing changes. In order to make change, it is imperative the person suffering is willing to tell themselves the truth, and having a person hold them to it, gives them a sense of freedom and safety to do it for themselves. Often, coaches and therapists are too lenient with lying or aren't aware forms of denial are actually occurring. The result of having a strong rejection of denial by Robin, the client is put in a position to actually make change and ultimately recovery. For this client, after experiencin

This is an AWESOME session where we discuss what happens when the survival coping mechanisms are removed once a person escapes body image, diet image, and then experiences freedom on the other side. This content is discussed in the third book of the Thin Supremacy series... Body Supremacy: Exploring the Torment of Eating Disorders as a Syndrome. Robin discusses survival mode, the behavioral symptoms of that  mode, and what it feels like when those impulses are removed by changing perspective and witnessing the truth of reality.

In this session, we go deep into what the purpose of life is in regards to body image. Is it your purpose to focus on making your body thinner? To make sure your food intake is "healthy"? Do you have to have less body fat to feel that you're worthy of experiencing the sun, the breeze, and the beauty of the ocean and beach.

In this session, we discuss her struggles on the hCG protocol, and her avoidance of discomfort. We go into the mirage of being thinner...that fantasy that having less fat will open a space of freedom and ease in life. However, the pressure and tension to restrict food, and the anxiety around food will go up. She is stuck on the idea that if she is pleasing to other people, that her worth will go up. This is a great conversation regarding self worth.

In this session, we discuss how difficult it is to sustain the freedom of recovery, if you aren't willing to accept weight gain or other natural fluctuations that are inherent to having a body on this earth. Without fully accepting potential weight gain, it is almost impossible to surrender diet regulations and fears of "bad" food. Unfortunately, this results in continued desires, cravings, and impulses to over eat.

Robin describes the impact that false advertising had from the very beginning of the height and weight chart. As advertisements claimed 100 percent guarantees, and that participants could EASILY lose 5 pounds in 5 days, with a doctor's approval, the assumption was that when participants failed, it was a personal failure. When 96% of all people attempting to lose weight fail at losing and-or maintain that fat loss, isn't that an indication the methods used aren't realistic for the majority of all people???? Who is actually failing??? #thinsupremacy #weightlossapocalypse #bodyimage #dietbingediet #eatingdisorders #eatingdisorderrecovery

In the process of fully and permanently letting go of wanting to be thin, she is struggling to let go of the idea that leaner and thinner people are better and more superior people. As she continues to feel bad about herself because of her body fat, weight, and size, her desire to find something in the moment to feel better is goes up. In the past she's used narcotics...now she uses food---specifically "bad" food. We discuss how she's viewed different aspects of her life in a way that brings her feelings of inferiority, as if her life experience is lesser and worse than others. Ultimately, her cravings and desires to feel better are higher.

When you quit trying to lose weight in order to relieve the strain of bingeing and over eating, it is common to be triggered to diet when others around you are on that bandwagon. The idea that others are going to achieve the mirage of thinness and the glamour of "success" through weight loss, can bring out the power of the illusion of "betterness." Ultimately, if you struggle with this, you'll need to see the ideal as a mirage and recognize that even when reached, the mirage requires isolation, fixation on food, stricter restrictions, and paranoia about weight gain.

She is struggling and wants to go back to dieting as if it is the only way to survive.

When you humbly accept loss and surrender, survival mechanisms relax, and a new existence opens up to how the mind works. This space is more gracious, lenient, risk taking, less forceful, nondualistic, expansive, and enjoyable. This client has suffered greatly seeking to prove herself...this is the beginning of her experience with true self acceptance feeling how the mind works outside of survival mode. "This is a continuation of the conversation about accepting body fat, extra weight, physical stress, and emotional loss when surrendering all forms of diets. Giving weight-loss methods up for good is the only way to remove overeating triggers that stem from food restriction (threat to the first hierarchy of need). To come out of survival mode, one must surrender to the threats and perceived dangers that trigger survival mode. This client has experienced freedom from the pressure to lose weight, but goes back into suffering when she thinks about accepting her body fat permanently.

SUCH A GOOD SESSION! In this session we discuss her urge to diet because of shame and embarrassment about her weight. The first half of this session is a discussion of how food restrictions, while living surrounded by food, increases cravings and desire for food. Feelings of deprivation and loss of food that is available, but NOT allowed, increases one's sensitivity to pleasure seeking behavior and the narcotic response to that particular food. This is a great discussion about "addiction" to food.

She's suffered from anorexia/bulimia for most of her adult life. She struggles to surrender her victim perceptions that stem from seeing her life as being harder than others. Eating/bingeing is how she's been validating and rewarding herself, but only because she's relied on purging/dieting/over-exercising to keep her from gaining weight. #thinsupremacy #weightlossapocalypse #emotionaleating #bed #ana #bulimia #ed #thinsupremacy #dietsupremacy #bodysupremacy #bodydietsupremacysyndrome #bdss #bulimarexia #survivalmode #fightorflight

She has been in "fight or flight" most of her life, working on her family farm and taking it over as an adult. Her father was super critical and narcissistic and raised her to be his narcissistic supply. In that position, many people end up with a complex form of PTSD. She has clear physical symptoms, such as autoimmune issues. As she's been addressing the underlying beliefs that support and promote her anxiety and fear, her symptoms have started to diminish. #survivalmode #thinsupremacy #weightlossapocalypse #stress #anxiety #ocd #complexptsd #traumabonding #eatingdisorders #emotionaleating #copingmechanisms #narcissism #vulnerablenarcissism

This is a 90 minute consult with a woman who has suffered with an eating disorder most of her adult life. She's been to inpatient and outpatient treatment, therapy, group help, etc... she found Robin on youtube and decided to reach out for help. The first half of this consult they discuss her childhood trauma and the importance of grace in getting separation from perceiving life as a victim. The second half of this consult we discuss the freedom in accepting the body unconditionally. Lots of good content in this consult... RECORDED FEBRUARY 2018

She has suffered with emotional eating issues most of her adult life and reached out for Robin's help a couple years prior. After talking a few times over course of those years, she is realizing the idea of being "healthy" has kept her mind trapped and in fear. She is starting to see the link between her judgment of "bad" food and unhealthy food to the shame she experiences when she eats. She has been caught in a spiral of obsession over preventing illness and unhealth, and despite her fears, she is miserable. We discuss the willingness to be "unhealthy" in order to free herself from the cognitive distortions and inflammatory ideas of "health."

After a few weeks of relief, she starts bingeing again. She is trying to NOT gain weight with the hunger scale, not realizing her focus on her weight and her body is what promotes anxiety. That anxiety makes it very very difficult to recognize hunger and fullness. In this session, we get to the underlying stress and thought process that occurs that promotes the desire and wanting to binge. This is a tough conversation around victim position and feeling sorry for yourself.

She suffered with anorexia and bulimia (ednos) for years... after finishing outpatient recovery, she reached out to work with Robin. For the first time she is addressing the terror of letting go of body image, instead of focusing her energy on how to manage and control food. The pain she's been avoiding feels so big that she's not sure she candle handle it. In this session, thy discuss the emotions that arise when pain is felt and looked at.

This client has worked through the hardest part of escaping the abusive relationship with thin supremacy and the cult belief that her body is inadequate and inferior to live in because of its size and weight. This grief and pain must be felt and ACCEPTED in order to get relief and to transition into recovery. SHE IS ALMOST THERE!!!

In this session, we discuss the incessant thoughts and focus on achieving a "healthy" body. The pursuit of health and/or thinness is NOT freedom. It is pursuing an idea of freedom, through an image of the body that requires your mind fixate on the means and methods that ultimately take away freedom. If in order to be thinner or "healthy," you must be dedicate your mind to continuous thoughts and focus on what that will take....is your life healthy?

FOR PEOPLE TRYING TO EAT WITHOUT DIET REGULATION After accepting her body (she weighs over 200 pounds) she is learning how to relate to food without dieting and bingeing. Learning to listen to how the body regulates the need for food through hunger is an important guiding mechanism. Robin describes the hunger scale and how important it is when leaving the culture of thin supremacy and diet supremacy. Here are links to the youtube videos Robin references, that describe the hormone leptin that explains how hunger works. https://youtu.be/xiqs4MDFQ2w https://youtu.be/jVCIWZ-WFc4 If you search for titles that include "hunger scale" you will find more content.

IMPORTANT FOR THOSE SEEKING RECOVERY BUT STRUGGLING TO ACCEPT WEIGHT GAIN...This is a deep conversation going step-by-step through letting go of the narcissistic supply that being thinner provides most people who suffer with anorexic leaning eating disorders. I guide her through what it would feel like to be released from having to perform and stand out with the perfect body. She gets a sense of what it feels like to be liberated and free to be less "superior" and to blend into the background as a "normal" person.

How many of you worry about your weight, food, dieting, and not dieting...but feel paralyzed to do anything about it? And do you end up eating more in stress about it all? This client is struggling to see clearly the link between the shame she has about her body fat and her urges to over eat. This session is a great discussion on fear, anxiety, stress about food and dieting, and self-worth. She has come soooooo far!

This is our first session after the 90 minute consult. We are going deeper into how perceived threat with an internal sense of weakness trigger survival mechanisms, and the physical and psychological reaction to fight, freeze, of run and hide in fear. This reaction is why people seek refuge with body image and dieting as part of those mechanisms. Throughout this session we link the steps to escape and recover to facing accepting those fears, accepting the consequences, and not expecting a reward in return...except freedom. By accepting what you fear, there is no reward in escaping and avoiding that result.

She has suffered with an eating disorder for a long time and has been in treatment off and on. While in treatment her disordered behavior shifted between bulimia to anorexia and then back to bulimia. Her obsession with being thin has made her life a living hell and she's reached out hoping to get some relief. This is our initial 90 minute consult, and I describe the real issue with body image and the eating disorder as a consequence. Getting to the root of the problem that isn't about food, dieting, bingeing, etc is important when wanting to get relief from the disorder. You will need to escape the syndrome.

With Covid 19 keeping people in their homes, more people are signing up to do another round of the hCG protocol. Without addressing underlying issues, these people unknowingly are signing up for more emotional eating. ...This Client found me searching for information about Dr. Simeons' hCG protocol and immediately connected to the YouTube videos about emotional eating. This is our initial 90 minute consult and we discuss emotional eating and issues with cheating on the hCG protocol. She reached out for help in the middle of an hCG protocol round, struggling to following the food restrictions. She's had success with the hCG protocol in the past, and has found her emotional eating and spiraled out of control.

Connecting the dots between emotional eating and binge eating to the enabling idea that a future diet will guarantee weight loss is important when understanding your behavior. Without a way to fix the weight gain of over eating, people would spend more time sitting with the emotions they don't want to feel. We discuss the way she positions herself to be a victim, and how that is a big trigger for her to seek refuge with food...especially when she feels insecure with her husband and marriage.

At the start of this session we discuss how this work is very different than what people expect when they reach out for Robin's help...which makes sense when the way they think is the problem, and a new way of thinking is often the solution. We talk about the role that survival mode played in her impulses to binge and eat emotionally, and her desires to diet and lose weight. Letting those coping mechanisms go, means she will need to face the fear and underlying survival threats that seem like the grim reaper.

This client suffered with excessive focus on her weight, food, diet, and emotional eating. We discuss accepting who she truthfully is, without trying to become something different. She is addressing underlying depression and the goal to lose weight thinking that would help her feel better. By giving up weight loss and dieting, she isn't chasing a mirage of betterment any more and her underlying sadness and low self esteem is arising. This has left her feeling depressed and worthless. When giving up goals used to distract from our emotional issues, a person then has to face and address those problems. This is difficult for many people because they don't inherently feel good about themselves, and the recovery process allows those feelings to arise. This is when real work begins, and that requires people give up their dreams, goals, and the mirage of betterment they are chasing.

In this vulnerable session we discuss going into fear, even though her mind demands her to turn away, avoid, repress, deny, and to escape it. This takes an incredible amount of humility and courage. As she stands in her fear without denial, threats arise suggesting she'll never be loved, she'll die alone, she'll be alone...she'll live in permanent pain. This aspect of escaping the body- and diet-supremacy syndrome is inevitable if a person is going to gain access to freedom and recovery.

We go deep into the conversation about being raised to meet narcissistic standards of superiority with body image, religious shame around sex, and concepts that demonize our human nature. The first 20 minutes of this session are so important when looking at how people lose touch with their true selves and gain touch with social programming that leaves them feeling bad about who they are. This discussion about sexuality and shame about the body is so important. SUCH A GOOD CONVERSATION!

This client is struggling to stop the chaos between emotional eating and chasing the mirage of weight loss. Her beliefs, fears, health concepts, and increasing impulsive need to overeat and binge feel overwhelming and to big to handle. This is such a difficult space to be in, especially when you feel like you've been back into a corner that makes the need to diet and urge to binge even worse. This struggle is hell.

After months of freedom from emotional eating and binge eating, she starts over eating again. One of the biggest triggers to emotional eating is thinking you've done something wrong by eating. We discuss the pull back into the disordered body-diet syndrome and the misery of having anxiety, worry, fixation, and fear about food is because she's worried she's going to gain weight. Before, she had accepted her weight and with that came immense freedom. But as soon as she started worrying about weight gain, the insanity instantly returned, and so did her impulse to over eat. Ultimately, she will need to address her underlying beliefs that fat gain is bad, thinnerness is good. #thinsupremacy RECORDED JANUARY 2018 #weightlossapocalypse #bodyimage #bodyshame #healthsupremacy #dietbingedietcycle #emotionaleating #foodaddiction #sugaraddiction #bingeeatingdisorder #bed #narcissisticculture #dietfearmonguring #ana #anorexia #orthorexia #bodydietsupremacysyndrome

This is the first holiday season she didn't struggle with emotional and binge eating. We've been working together for a couple months and addressing the underlying survival strain she's had with important people in her life, with her body, and lastly with food.

Thinking she'd fix her body and health when her life was easier, she ended up neglecting herself for years. After she reached a low point emotionally and reaching out for help, she is now getting the medical treatment she needed years ago. Before reaching out, she always thought she needed to lose weight first before going to the doctor. This postponement increases the pressure for people to approach diets with perfectionism, and ultimately results in procrastination. Over the course of years, symptoms get worse, and the pressure to fix things can feel overwhelming. For years, she relied on alcohol consumption and getting a buzz to remove that pressure. We discuss the link between the need for pleasure through drugs, alcohol, addictive behaviors to provide the grace and mercy a person truly needs to recover. Now that she's given her self and her past grace, she's forgiven her stepfather for molesting her, and she's providing her life and body love without the pressure

She finally decided to go shopping for clothes, after years of withholding her needs thinking she could only earn self-care if she lost weight. Shopping for clothes can be very stressful for people who haven't quite yet escaped their narcissistic body image. They continue to feel bad if they are a larger size, or if clothes don't fit like they used to. This client is amazed at how she wasn't triggered to binge and her larger size no longer phased her as she bought new clothes.

This was recorded a couple of years ago... a great observation of body objectification, the vulnerable side of narcissism which is so prevalent in eating disorders, and the underlying belief that your worth is based on how your body is viewed by the culture you are seeking inclusion. For now, this client is enjoying her break from the pressure of dieting and anxiety about food. However, she truly believes she should be thinner, and that she'll eventually tackle it later. But for now, she is recuperating from the diet-image insanity...knowing that she will go back into when she's ready. What this means, is that she will continue to experience eating issues and urges to over eat, although they will be far less than they'd be if she was actively dieting. In terms of escaping the "Body-Diet Supremacy Syndrome," (defined in Thin Supremacy--Book 3) she is still devout to her grandiosely narcissistic captor.

We talk about her continued struggle wanting to lose weight, despite the fact that the struggle strains her relationship with food and makes her MISERABLE. After having experienced the release and recovery from the angst and strain between food and her body image, she is recognizing how much anxiety exists inside body-image/diet-image paradigm. This is where so many people get stuck and struggle. Ultimately, people reach the point they truly accept the body as it is, even with its "unhealthy," and they forgive themselves, so they can escape the body-diet survival syndrome in order to recover their life and well being.

THIS SESSION IS SOOOOO GOOOOOD. After revealing that she was molested as a child during our initial consultation, she's been surprised at how much better she's been feeling. However, as she hasn't been bingeing she's been experiencing more feelings--especially feelings of sadness--than she's experienced in the past.

When in the process of recovery, there comes a point for all people where they are paralyzed in the space between recovery and retreating back into the cycle of diet-binge-dieting again.

Since recovery, she is finally ready to get the medical help she's needed. This is a common trigger for many people, especially when they're shamed because of their weight when they reach out for medical help. For this reason, this client hadn't been to the doctor for a very long time. Surprisingly, her doctor hasn't shamed her because of her weight. Recovery has allowed this client to come out of denial and to get the help she needs. She opened up to her doctor and was truthful about her binge eating disorder, which allowed the doctor to better understand what's been going on.

This is our initial consult, and she found me looking for help online. She was diagnosed with an eating disorder when she was 15-years-old and now she's 20. She's gone to outpatient recovery, psychologists, and more. For the past two years, she's been seeking help online. She is starting to feel hopeless, and has had thoughts of suicide. Over the years, her anorexia has metastasized into orthorexia. When she fails her religious restrictions with food, she still binges and purges as a way to fix her fear of fat gain.

She's spend the majority of her life focused on her size and weight. She's lost large amounts of weight, received praise and attention, and has regained weight and gone into hiding. We discuss how living this way can take over your life and the result is losing a sense of who you are. What is the purpose of your life if it isn't about your body, emotional eating, and a diet?

She was molested by her stepfather, and she is SHOCKED at how much better she feels emotionally and physically. Not only is she calmer, happier, and more loving, but her binge-eating episodes have drastically reduced. We discuss the importance in recovery that people forgive themselves for eating to cope with emotions that felt too big to handle. To have understanding why a person who's been physically traumatized would want to fix his or her body. It makes sense why dieting, fitness, and other ways to control your body would be attractive. Alternatively, it also makes sense why emotional eating or bingeing would be a natural way to deal with resent and anger. IT IS ALL WORTHY OF COMPASSION AND FORGIVENESS.

AMAZING SESSION ON COMPASSION...She was molested by her step father, and she is recognizing how much anger and resentment she's held towards her mother. During our first session, we addressed her experience from a different point of view, which allowed her to see her step father in a completely differing light. This allowed her to see that she had NOTHING to do with his insanity and willingness to rape a child. As a consequence, she is now recognizing her negative feelings toward her mother no longer make sense. The compassion she felt for her stepfather, she is now feeling for her mother. GRACE AND COMPASSION UNRAVELED HER MENTAL ILLNESS. Ultimately, she relieved herself from years and years of toxic coping mechanisms...including hatred for her body and a resultant binge eating disorder.

As she's no longer using diets to enable emotional eating, she's having to find a new way to cope with stress. She's showing signs of seeking to secure her 2nd hierarchy of need (environmental safety and control) as she's trying to find a new way to cope with insecurity with her 3rd hierarchy of need (inclusion, lovablility, and feeling safe in a community). For people who are no longer using food to distract and protect from feelings of insecurity, they commonly transfer their solution to another coping mechanism. Unfortunately, this doesn't resolve the underlying insecurity. This client is noticing she's starting to want to shop, control her stuff at home, and wanting to "clean up" and control her living space.

WATCH ALL 90 MINUTES!!! This is our first consultation...She reached out thinking she needed help with her binge eating disorder and she didn't disclose she was molested as a child. She eventually opens up about that childhood trauma, not thinking her desire to be thinner, had anything to do with being molested. We go through a process of re-contextualizing what happened, so that she can forgive her stepfather, and recognize her body had nothing to do with it. It was HIS trau ma that he struggled to understand and resolve. This consult is the first time she addressed her childhood perceptions and coping mechanisms from that trauma.

Robin discusses how important it is to tell yourself the truth if you want to recover from an eating disorder. She describes her own suffering, as she unconsciously repressed the truth and cognitive dissonance because it felt too scary and painful to face. Going into denial is a way to NOT change when the truth seems catastrophic to your self concept. This client has struggled to surrender her emotional desires to be thinner and she convinced herself she was ready to do the hCG protocol again. Despite the fact that Robin had discouraged her from doing it again, she convinced herself she was all healed and did it anyways. Unfortunately, she relapsed as she attached to the weight loss, became afraid to regain weight, and her eating disorder resurfaced. RECORDED NOVEMBER 2017

This is our initial 90 minute consult, and we discuss her issues struggling with emotional eating and the guilt and shame she has thinking she's inadequate. Her beliefs have high expectations, without giving room and grace for what's realistic. She's approach her body image the same way.

This client is struggling back and forth, in and out of recovery. Her biggest struggle is that she is still hoping for weight loss. She weighs over 250 pounds, which to her is the problem and focus of her mind. What she hadn't seen is that the focus on weight as the problem, is what has created a distorted and strained relationship between dieting and overeating. She recognizes her emphasis on her weight going up or down, is perpetuating her stress around food and resultant overeating. When she allows herself to look at NOT losing weight, and to feel the negativity attached to accepting what has happened to her body in her "battle with weight," the clenching grip that the diet/binge/diet cycle has on her mind loosens. This willingness to face the shame, embarrassment, and the truth of the body, with the humility to admit failure and loss, is where freedom opens up. Accepting your body is the door to releasing your mind from the grips of the eating disorder between diet

THE IMPORTANCE OF FORGIVENESS....Through compassion. The only way for her to get past the emotional eating that she does when she feels agitated by her relationship with her father, is to accept him the way he is...and to stop rescuing him. For many people who have a negative history with an important relationship, it can be easier to numb and distract from anger and resentment, so you don't say or do something you'll regret. It can feel like eating or drinking keeps you from expressing your true feelings.

ACCEPTING JUDGMENT AND REJECTION...We discuss the truth that important people in your life can be critical of you. Her toddler son told her she was ugly. It is an inevitable aspect of being a pack animal that survives in groups of people. To recover from the shame of body image, it is imperative you accept that your body will be judged and shamed by people who are defined by body image. They project the importance of body image onto others., and the only way to not be influenced by their issues with body image is to accept judgment and rejection about your life and body.

She jumped on another round of the hCG protocol, thinking she was ready to do it for medical reasons. However, she wasn't prepared for how the restrictions and the desire to lose weight can rebound after, and ultimately increase the risk of diet/binge eating behavior. After having experienced recovery, and then impulsively starting another round of the protocol, she is recognizing the diet/binge cycle has returned. Robin asks her to be honest with herself about why she jumped into the protocol.

Her recovery starts slipping as she struggles to accept her father's immaturity, and she starts to feel resentment and burdened by him. Her desire to eat emotionally increased as she sought to compensate herself for being negatively put out by him. Her unresolved codependent relationship with him, keeps her in a codependent relationship with food. In this case, the trigger isn't body image so much as it is resent and bitterness, and feeling the need to compensate herself with food. Ultimately, the need to diet is necessary to enable and allow emotional eating, when a person continues to hold a body image in her mind.

HE TOLD HER SHE WAS LAZY. She tried to talk with her husband about her decision to stop trying to lose weight, and his response was to be angry at her. When a person that hasn't suffered as much, tries to convince you it isn't that hard and you can do more and succeed, it can be very difficult to help them understand. We discuss the importance of validating your own misery and suffering, without needing to convince others you should take care of yourself.
