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.
