Weight-Loss Apocalypse

"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.

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 just finished a round of the hCG protocol done as a hormonal therapy. We discuss how different this round is than the ones she did as a "diet" in the past.

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. She suffered greatly in an abusive relationship and her ex-husband was incredibly controlling, critical, and narcissistic. She wanted to prove that she could handle life on her own and she did it with perfectionism around work and body image.

Can "healthy" eating trigger emotional eating and binge eating? YES After having a couple months of freedom, she notices her issues with food creeping back. She didn't realize her effort to be "healthy" and eating "clean" would trigger her issues with bingeing again.

This is the last hour of a consultation discussing bulimia and recovery. This client suffered from bulimia for years and is seeking help thinking she can lose weight and also stop the bingeing, purging, dieting, and the misery it takes to hold on to her thinness. Robin gets brutally honest.
