Ep532: How to Stop Beating Yourself Up When You Binge

Do you beat yourself up when you overeat? Do you think self-defeating thoughts that make you feel even worse than the binge itself? Do you fear trying to eat clean because you can’t take falling down again? There is a way to make productive use of your slip-ups and stop beating yourself up. You deserve better, and in this show, I lay out a plan that will help.  By the way, this episode originally aired 7 years ago, and it was so popular I decided to bring it back. Enjoy!

  • The story my husband told me that changed how I saw my own self-talk
