Beyond Overeating by Wholesome Lifestyle Project

What are your plans for this year?

If you decided that this is your year to STOP binge eating, then you are in the right place.

I don't just have lived experience with binge eating ( I struggled for over 13 years with binge eating ) I also have over 500 coaching hours in helping women stop binge eating in the shortest time possible.

My wish this year for you is that you find a path to break free from the hold binge eating has had on you as I know how painful that can be.

Before I found coaching, I felt so alone like there was something desperately wrong with me but no one had answers for me.

today I wanted to share Three things I really wish someone would have told me back in 2018 when I was desperate for a solution.

Choosing to get help will not only get rid of binge eating but will make it possible within 4 months. Recovery takes time and has many ups and downs along the way. There’s a lot to learn about the symptoms you’ve been experiencing and working through the underlying issues, such as anxiety or trauma. You’ll want a coach that you trust in your corner to guide you along the way.

Every year we grow and learn. In today's episode, I share my top 8 life lessons of 2022 and how they apply to your relationship with food. 

It is my hope that my lessons can support you along your journey!!

Love and light,

Xx

This is a simple tip to overcome emotional eating for one of my listeners who shared the following: 

I'm an emotional eater. When I'm feeling stressed or overwhelmed, I turn to food for comfort. And once I start eating, I can't seem to stop. I'll stand in front of the fridge, stuffing my face with whatever I can find, until I'm so full I feel sick. And afterward, I always feel guilty and ashamed. I know I need to get a handle on my emotional eating, but I don't know how. Every time I try to diet or restrict myself, I end up bingeing. I feel like I'm stuck in this cycle of overeating and guilt, and I don't know how to break free.

Moira struggled with emotional binges from the age of 16, she would reach for pizza and ice cream when she felt stressed or nervous. 

She joined my food freedom program because she was fed up with where she was with her relationship with food and her emotional binge episodes flared up her fibromyalgia. 

Within four weeks of working with me, Moira was able to leave food on her plate and her energy levels were going up. She found herself naturally drawn to fruits and vegetables and she has not had a fibromyalgia flare-up since. She overcame the urge to eat ice cream every single day and can now enjoy ice cream every now and then. 

Our relationship with food is not as simple as calories in vs calories out. Our eating problems keep us from enjoying life, relationships with others, and even our spirituality. They usually have very little to do with food.  

I also share a small meditation at the end to support you where you are right now. 

Much love,

We spend so much time loving and caring for others but sometimes we forget about extending that love to ourselves.

I felt so ashamed when I looked in the mirror!!

"I'm a failure because I can't Stop Eating" I remember saying to myself over and over again, I would even make a joke about it to my friends, "here I go, eating my feelings, again"

That kind of self-talk started spilling into other areas of my life, I felt unworthy to ask for promotions, I would stay in jobs where I was expecting to work ridiculous hours with no overtime payment, I stayed because I felt I wasn't worthy of finding something better.

The old me didn't believe in fluffy things like self-love? "Who needs self-love, what a crock of shit?" I would say. Deep down I resisted self-love because I felt I wasn't worthy of love, especially being loved by myself.

Self-love is one of the best things you can do for yourself.

Not sure how to even begin? Here are some of the steps I took to mend my relationship with myself through small acts of self-love.
