Before you step on the scale for the 1000th time, listen to this episode. I used to be 100% certain that weighing myself helped me be in control of my eating. I then discovered the truth about the scale — and that weighing myself was harming me more than helping me. With this shift around the scale, I changed my eating faster than ever before.

I received a question today that said this: “For me personally. The need to binge is so fierce and gripping. There's areas of my life that I’m very conscientious and strong willed, but with the food,I literally need, need, need to binge. It’s something that is a complete all or nothing, and something that I've tried countless approaches, in trying to deal with. I don't like the idea of being a victim and I don't like the idea of “can't do.” But currently with the food I have been completely unable to effectively do anything that works. The only thing that worked ever was intermittent fasting with keto. But it left me feeling tired, weak and irritable. So in short, the sheer force and urge to binge seems so large and magnificent (for lack of a better word) that I cannot comprehend, (currently) a time that I won't need to binge eat. And can be in control with food. It's hard to think that this can be solved without dedicating every waking minute and bit of energy to resolve it.” ~[Name redacted for privacy reasons] In today’s episode, I’ll be addressing this exact concern. Tune in to hear my answer. ________________________ To work with us, visit: katiepapo.com/program To listen to client freedom stories, visit: katiepapo.com/client-success Follow on Facebook and Instagram: KatiePapo108 For inquiries, email: coach@katiepapo.com

When compulsion is driving your eating, all the willpower in the world isn’t enough. That’s because even though you *logically* know that you DON’T want to binge, all that logic is overridden by that strong, mysterious force compelling you to binge. So once the food urges creep in, all your logic and willpower don’t stand a chance against deeply-rooted compulsion. If you feel your willpower hasn’t been enough to combat these food compulsions, we’re going to talk about the piece you’re likely missing. Tune in! PS On Friday January 20, 2023, I’ll be guiding you through a process to help you get to the bottom of your compulsion with food. Join me for this rare opportunity – I usually only go this deep with my private clients! During SHIFT, I’ll help you shift away from compulsion with food in just 2 hours. Note: SHIFT isn’t about just helping you intellectually understand “how.” We’ll spend a small portion on the “how,” but the majority of the 2-hour intensive will be actual PRACTICE so you can physically FEEL a shift away from compulsion. Once you feel this shift, you can’t “unsee” it – and you’ll see that there is hope to end this compulsion with food, permanently. Registration for SHIFT is open until January 19, 2023.

"What if I need to restrict my food for health reasons?" I often receive different variations of this same question, such as: "I know restricting myself causes binges, but I really need to lose weight. How can lose weight without restricting?" "My doctor told me I need to avoid these certain foods ... how do I not eat them without restricting myself?" "I am gluten-sensitive. How do I avoid gluten without restricting myself?" "I am diabetic. How can I follow these food rules without feeling restricted?" All of these questions have the same answer.

As a psychologist, Hannah knew “what to do” but didn’t know “how to do it.” She hit a low after she had tried years of dieting to lose weight, only to gain it back again. She also spent 8 years in a 12-step program trying to overcome her binges and compulsive behaviors with food. Nothing worked. Hannah got to the point where she was crying every day, worried that the overeating would never stop. But after just a few days working with us, she started to notice major shifts in her eating, which gave her hope, and broke the binge cycle that she felt trapped in for years. As she continued to heal her relationship with food, she saw even more changes, proving to herself that her eating disorder wasn’t something that she needed to “manage” or “cope with.” Instead, she knew she could end it.

Do you REALLY have an eating disorder - or do you just need more self-control? How do you know if your binges are turning into a full-blown eating disorder? I hear this often from people who reach out wanting to stop binge eating: - “Why do I have no self-control or willpower around food?” - “Why can’t I stop binge eating, even though I know it’s bad?” - “How do I know if I have BED?” (Binge Eating Disorder) - “How do I know if I’m a true food addict/sugar addict?” - “Why do I always fail?” This episode will help you cut through the fluff and discover what your true problem is, so you can finally fix it, whether you’ve been diagnosed with an eating disorder or not. In this episode we’ll cover the reasons why your efforts to stop binge eating have made you binge more, and what to do about it, so you can end the binge cycle completely.

Why “trying not to binge” is making you binge more … Is your willpower completely depleted … to the point where you just can’t stop binges anymore? (Or even simply stick to your food plan for more than a day or two?) Even when you try your hardest all day, do you find yourself binge eating anyway? (Even when you KNOW you’ll be mad at yourself after?) 99% of the conventional wisdom I see, whether it’s from doctors, diet experts, or food addiction support groups, says to use your willpower and strength of your own mind to follow food rules to keep you from binge eating. But if that worked, wouldn’t it have worked by now? And wouldn’t it continue to work? Or at least get easier over time? If you’ve been finding that it’s only getting HARDER not to binge, the more you try, this episode is for you. In this episode we’ll cover the reasons why your efforts to stop binge eating have made you binge more, and what to do about it, so you can end the binge cycle completely.

Shame in eating disorders can come up in a variety of ways: - Binge eating and “hiding the evidence” (putting the wrappers at the bottom of the garbage can, eating in the car and discarding the wrappers) - Shame to look in a full-length mirror, or be in photos with family and friends (without positioning your body behind someone else) - Shame to share how bad it really is (“My husband knows I struggle with food, but he doesn’t know how bad it really is.”) - Shame stepping on the scale at the doctor’s office - Shame to eat something unhealthy in front of someone else (or binge eating in secret) - Shame to invest in genuine help, because that means you really let it get “this bad” In this episode we’ll cover how shame can keep you stuck, and also how to get UNSTUCK so you can end the binges with one less obstacle holding you back. You can release the shame, accelerate your path to success, and finally feel proud of yourself … even if you’ve always been your own worst critic!

Have you ever felt like a wave is crashing over you, knocking you down ... and just when you feel like you can finally stand up, another wave comes, knocking you down again? This episode of the podcast is all about how to break out of a slump, and get unstuck -- how to rescue yourself from drowning in the waves. I've picked myself up from some deep, dark slumps (and I've been in one for the last few weeks), so this topic is very close to my heart. I believe this is one of the most important topics to talk about, because it's easy to feel strong and confident when things are going well ... ... But what about when we're knocked down by life's inevitable waves? Like a giant binge ... or a negative comment ... or a life crisis ... or an injury ... or a bad doctor's visit ... or month-long out-of-control spiral -- that's when we're tested most. This is one of the more important talks I've given; I hope you enjoy it.

How can you feel more in control while eating? There is a way to feel in control without using tons of willpower or forcing food rules on yourself. It begins with developing a different type of self-control than you may have tried in the past. When most of us think of self-control around food, we think of trying to force ourselves to only eat certain foods, foods of a certain portion size, or eating between certain hours of the day. There are two major problems with this: 1. If we focus all of our control on food restrictions, we end up working against ourselves. Since restrictions fuel binges, trying to control quantities may cause a type of relapse after, where you binge on what you were trying to avoid. 2. By only focusing on self-control in the ways of restrictions, we ignore the body signals that can actually help us develop a quieter, more peaceful type of self-control. In the first part of this talk, I'll go over a new type of control that you can learn, and why it plays an important role in ending binge eating permanently. In the second part, I'll guide you through a short practice that you can use to develop this new type of control.

This podcast is ideal for you if you find yourself in the "all-or-nothing" mentality, swinging back and forth between extremes. Here are some examples that might sound familiar to you: "Let me eat the entire box of cookies tonight so that way I can start eating healthy tomorrow." "I was showing up to exercise single day. Then I had one bad day and it all went spiraling from there ...." "I told myself to just have one cookie, but I ended up eating the entire box." "I went an entire month without a binge. Then I had one binge, and I've been out of control ever since." Today we'll talk about the power of consistency, how to build it, and practical techniques you can use on yourself to build consistency and release the "all-or-nothing" mentality.

Has binge eating become such a huge part of your life that it feels like it’s who you are? Have you forgotten what your life was like before the endless cycles of restriction and binges? Have you been dieting and bingeing for so long that you can’t imagine a future without it? Are you ready to shed the “old” you, and embrace a newer, happier, healthier version of yourself? When we’re stuck in long-term habits, we often equate these habits with who we are. We say things like, “I’m a yo-yo dieter” or “I’m a binge eater” or “I’m a food addict.” Maybe you’ve also said, “I’m weak,” or “I’m hopeless” or “I’m fat.” We attach labels to ourselves based on what we do, how we think, and how we feel about ourselves. A problem arises: when you keep attaching negative labels to yourself that are ultimately the opposite of what you want, it’s a slippery slope into a self-fulling prophecy. For example, the more you tell yourself you’re disgusting, the more disgusting you feel. The more you tell yourself you’re hopeless, the more hopeless you feel. At the same time, it can feel ridiculous to state empty affirmations like “I’m strong and powerful” when we don’t feel that way. In fact, it can make us feel even worse, because the more we say we’re strong, the more our egos respond with, “No you’re not, you’re weak!” This episode of the podcast is all about how to start changing your inner dialogue so you can finally release the old habits that don’t serve you, and embrace ones that do. Shahar, our mindset expert, will show you how by changing your habits, you can change your identity. If binge eating and dieting was truly who you are inside, you would be happy. But it’s not. In reality, it’s holding you back from who you really are. This talk will guide and inspire you to embrace who you really are, without the shadow of disordered eating holding you back from living your life to the fullest.

If you’ve been dieting and following food rules for years and you’re STILL binge eating and feeling out of control around food, this episode of the podcast will help you discover WHY the cycle is still happening, and how to end it for good. Which of these sound most like you? - “If I eat whatever I want, I’ll be totally out of control.” - “I need to have restrictions because of reasons X, Y, and Z, but I STILL binge on foods I shouldn’t eat, even though it’s bad for me.” - “I want to have a normal relationship with food, but I’m afraid that if I take away restrictions I’ll never stop eating and gain tons of weight.” - “I don’t trust myself to NOT be on a diet because I need the structure to keep me in control.” - “Everytime I lose weight, I self-sabotage and undo all my hard work.” - “I can be good all day, but then I always ruin it with a binge.” We’ll take time to go through each of these fears, so you can understand how to overcome them long-term and heal your relationship with food without these worries. If you’re afraid to let go of restrictions for any of these reasons, it’s understandable why these fears exist. But if you want freedom from food rules, then it’s important to understand how to overcome these fears so you can move out of your food prison and into a peaceful relationship with food for good. In this episode, I’ll also cover WHY you’ve stayed stuck this long, and how to end the cycle so the binges don’t continue. We’ll be sure to look at elements that will affect your relationship with food long-term, so you can make sure you end the binge/restrict cycle permanently.

This week’s podcast was all about trigger foods! Here’s how to know if it’s for you: - Do you feel like you can’t be trusted around certain foods? - Do you avoid certain aisles of the supermarket, social events, or even bringing certain foods into the house to avoid temptation? - Are you constantly thinking about food (especially specific “forbidden” foods), and worrying about what you will or won't eat? Does food consume a major portion of your brain space? - Do certain foods "call" to you? If you know they're in the house, do you find yourself constantly thinking about them? - Do you lock your cabinets … or recruit friends and family to help hide food from you so you won’t eat it? In this talk, we’ll help you understand WHY all of this is happening, so you understand how certain foods become triggering, and how to stop reinforcing that pattern. We’ll also share a safe, non-restrictive way to handle trigger foods and why it works. Finally, we’ll share how to make yourself “un-triggerable” so you can feel safe and peaceful in any food environment.

Are you your own worst critic? Are you harder on yourself than anyone else is? When you’re healing your relationship with food, on a deeper level you’re healing your relationship with yourself. This can be hugely challenging when you’ve spent most of your life beating yourself up for never being or doing quite good enough. Behavioral science shows us that effective and lasting change occurs when the changes feel good. When we beat ourselves up as we’re trying to make important life changes, it only slows us down and reverses progress. That’s why this week’s podcast topic is all about building up your self-worth, and releasing your deep-seated negative beliefs about yourself that block you from true healing, and keep you in the cycle of self-sabotage. We’ve invited Bethany Dotson, trauma-informed yoga therapist and relationship coach to help us with her perspective on self-worth and releasing self-destructive patterns. Bethany is a domestic violence and childhood trauma survivor herself, with over a decade of experience helping professional, high-achieving women heal anxiety, C/PTSD, find their power and skyrocket their confidence after divorce or toxic relationships, communicate better, navigate conflict and most importantly, co-create healthy relationships. We’ll be drawing from Bethany’s expertise, as well as our food freedom principles to help you better understand how to build up your self-worth, while releasing the negative belief patterns that block you from healing.

“Screw it. I might as well eat whatever I want now, and start fresh tomorrow.” Every person who struggles with binge eating knows about this moment … it’s the moment right before the binge where all willpower breaks. No matter how much we care about our goals and try to convince ourselves to walk away and be strong … we give in, and it all falls apart. Not only that, but after all the dust has settled and we’ve eaten ourselves sick, we wonder WHY we keep doing this to ourselves. We reinforce that feeling of hopelessness. We beat ourselves for having no willpower. Finally, while we set the intention to start again tomorrow, we know deep down this won’t be the last time we break a promise to ourselves. We want to use this opportunity to go in depth into that “screw it” moment. In this episode of the podcast, we’re planning to help you gain a deeper understanding of why you keep sabotaging yourself. We’ll also discuss how this can be prevented, and how you can even bounce back and come back stronger than ever. In this episode of the podcast we’ll cover: - Why the “screw it” moment happens - How to prevent the “screw it” moment from happening (without depleting your willpower) - What you can do when it does happen, so “screw it” moments happen less and less in the future - What continued healing looks like, as you keep progressing in your food freedom Join our e-mail list for strategy and tips: https://katie-papo.ck.page/98f25ebb7f Read more about us on our website: katiepapo.com Follow me on Facebook: facebook.com/katiepapo108 Join our private Facebook support group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bingeeatingweightloss/ If you're interested in working with us in our intensive program, message us directly: m.me/katiepapo108

This week’s edition of the podcast is all about control … a new type of control. In the past, you’ve tried to control your food, whether it was portion size, calories, macros, or simply the types of food you allow in the house. In this podcast, we’re going to talk about a different type of personal control that’s far more effective in ending disordered eating. During our past 4 weeks of podcasts, we’ve covered the most common “invisible” blockages that have kept our clients binge eating for literal decades before they found the path to food freedom. In Part 1, we talked about the “all or nothing” mentality and self-criticism, and how to overcome them. In Part 2, Shahar gave a beautiful talk on overcoming hopelessness. In Part 3, we discussed how to rewire negative thinking. In Part 4, we talked about weight obsession and the scarcity mentality that causes us to mentally or physically restrict, causing urges to binge. Now in our final part, Part 5, we’ll talk about the road from victim to victor, and a different type of personal control that we’ve seen to be highly effective in ending disordered eating. (If you’re still struggling with disordered eating, you likely need to overcome this blockage!) Substituting this one type of control for another has helped our clients make tremendous strides in their path to food freedom, and this practice happens to be one of my (and Shahar’s) biggest natural strengths. We’re looking forward to sharing this mental shift with you, to show you how it can help you on your own journey.

If you’re trying to change your binge eating behavior without success, chances are, there’s some kind of mental pattern that’s looping you back into the binge cycle. This week, on the podcast, we’re going to cover two invisible mental patterns that contribute to binge eating more than ANY other patterns we’ve seen: weight obsession and scarcity mentality. We’ve grouped these two patterns together, because oftentimes, one feeds the other. They’re also BY FAR the most seductive. When I was healing my relationship with food, these two forces pulled me back into my old habits many times. But now that I understand how to handle them, I no longer worry about binge eating … ever! I’ll share with you how to handle these forces too. I invite you to join me this week to go over these two phenomena, and how you can use your current “stuckness” to your advantage … to get to the next level of your healing!

Do you find yourself beating yourself up? Telling yourself you’re not good enough? That you’ll always fail? That you’ll always struggle with food? Then this episode of the podcast is for you. Your brain, your thoughts, and your speech are some of your most valuable tools to shape your reality. But when negative thinking takes the stage, this invisible force can sabotage your progress. When used properly, your brain and your thoughts are some of your biggest assets to end disordered eating permanently. But if you use your thinking to beat yourself up, you’re setting yourself up for a long journey of pain and frustration. If disordered eating has been a longtime struggle of yours, your negative thinking may be one of the invisible reasons you keep getting stuck. This talk will cover how to rewire your brain out of negative thinking, into a mindset that can make your journey to food freedom a whole lot faster. Last week we talked specifically about overcoming hopelessness, and this week we want to zoom out to explore other kinds of negative thinking, and how to rewire your brain out of negative thinking and into productive thinking …  so your journey out of binge eating and into food freedom can be as smooth and painless as possible.

If you’ve been struggling with disordered eating for most of your life, you likely already know that there’s something deeper going on that you’re not seeing. My most valuable skill is being able to identify the invisible reasons you keep getting stuck, and to teach you how to become permanently unstuck. Last week we talked about the all-or-nothing mentality, as well as self-criticism and the guilt/shame cycle. This week, on the podcast, we’ll focus on the first mindset shift that everyone needs to make when first BEGINNING the journey out of binge eating and into food freedom, and how to do it. This talk is also suitable for people who are well on their way to food freedom, and could use a mindset boost. By shifting this invisible pattern, you’ll be far more likely to succeed, and far less likely to self-sabotage.

If you’ve been struggling with disordered eating for most of your life, you likely already know that there’s something deeper going on that you’re not seeing. My most valuable skill is being able to identify the invisible reasons you keep getting stuck, and to teach you how to become permanently unstuck. The areas we’ll cover this week, on the podcast, have affected every type of disordered eating I’ve ever seen. By shifting these invisible patterns, we’ve been able to help people heal binge eating, emotional eating, food addiction, and weight obsession. We’ll sit down together to go through 7 invisible areas that keep people stuck ... that are 100% necessary to shift in order to end disordered eating permanently. Make sure you take notes, because many of our clients have at least 3 or 4 of these patterns (in fact, many have had all 7), without even realizing it. Once you can identify your own invisible patterns that are keeping you stuck, you’ll finally be in a position to change them for good! I’ve also shifted all of these patterns myself in my own life, and I’ll give you some personal examples so you can see how you might apply them to your life too. I’m bringing in Mindset Expert Shahar Kovetz to join me … he has coached me through each one of these 7 mindset shifts personally while I was ending my disordered eating, and has helped our clients do the same in their paths too.

The good news is, it’s already within you, you have access to it at any time, it’s free, and you’ll have it until the moment you die. I’m talking about your BREATH. What the heck does your breath have to do with your binges? A lot more than you may realize! Actually, this is the FIRST tool that we teach every single one of our private clients, without exception. (I’ve never coached a client without this tool.) This one tool can change the way you relate to food completely … even if you can’t see how YET. ;-) That’s why I've brought in Breath Expert Dani Mae, Founder of BreathGuidance, to lay out exactly how this works, and how you can use your own breath as an incredibly effective tool for food freedom. We’ll cover: - The nature of binges … how to handle the URGE (that compulsive feeling to eat) and where the breath comes into play - How to use the breath to rewire your brain and heal your relationship with food - How this one tool influences your physical body, including your metabolism, your fat-burning abilities, your internal organs, your brain, your stress levels, and other health benefits - How you can start applying this to your life now, so you can start to heal your relationship with food immediately I hope you enjoy this episode!

I used to say, “If I could just learn to treat food as fuel and not pleasure, I wouldn’t have issues with food anymore.” Now that I’m on the other side of food freedom, I’ve seen the opposite is true. Pleasure is the solution ― not the problem. The problem is when we keep eating to the point where pleasure turns into discomfort or pain. When you learn to eat for enjoyment, pleasure, and satisfaction, it helps the binges go away on their own, without your willpower or any kind of force to try to stop eating. “But if I get too much pleasure, won’t I want to eat MORE?” We hear this question a lot too, so this is what we’ll be covering in this week’s podcast, along with how to eat so you’re TRULY satisfied.

It can feel impossible to break the binge cycle when you’re speaking a totally different language than your body. And we’ve discovered that most people who struggle with binge eating don’t even know they’re speaking the wrong language! This episode of the podcast will be all about learning to communicate effectively with your body, so you can stop the binge cycle all together. Think of it this way: if you’re on the same team as someone, will you accomplish more by communicating effectively and working together? Or by trying to control them? Strong leaders listen to their team members, rather than trying to control them. The same is true when it comes to you and your body. When you try to control your weight with diets, weight loss programs, or food rules, at a certain point, REBELLION happens. You “fall off the wagon,” binge, and the cycle starts again. Just like how if you try to control someone else, they might rebel too. So instead of trying to control or manipulate your weight, what other option do you have? Teamwork. Instead of you and your body working against each other, you work together. As a team. And what do good teams do? They listen! They communicate. To be a good team member to your body, you’ll need to learn to speak it’s language. During this episode, we discuss both the mindset shift AND practical steps to create healthy communication with your body, so you can end the binge cycle and enjoy a peaceful relationship with food for the rest of your life.

In this episode of the podcast we explain how it is 100% possible and doable to end the binge cycle without a single food restriction. We’ve noticed that while many programs and coaches also promote “no restriction”, it’s rare to see genuine delivery on this promise. For example, just the other day I saw a coach selling her program saying, “Zero food restrictions! All you have to do is eat certain foods in moderation and only at the appropriate times!” How are “eating certain foods in moderation” and “eating only at certain times” NOT restrictions? ;-) (By the way, we aren’t at all against people using other methods, but the point is it’s misleading for someone to promote that while introducing hidden restrictions. I don’t believe most professionals do this with bad intentions — it’s possible that some may not even have this level of awareness with their own eating, so it would be impossible for them to teach it to someone else.) When we say zero food restrictions, we mean it. And here’s what that looks like: - All foods are allowed, even trigger foods. There is no meal plan or rules you need to follow about what you can and can’t eat. (We’ll explain more about the nuances of how this works in the livestream itself.) - You do not restrict your portion sizes or try to control, manipulate, count, or weigh how much you eat. Instead, you learn the natural skill of body listening so you can eat in a way that feels good, not bad. - You don’t set rules for yourself about when you can eat or what is considered to be an “appropriate time.” Instead, you learn to listen to and trust yourself, so you don’t need to rely on someone else’s rule or prescribed schedule for you to be successful. We recognize that very few people teach this, so we are getting more specific in what we’re talking about here in this episode of the podcast. This component is 100% critical if you want to end the restrict/binge cycle, so we’re dedicating our entire talk to this topic. Join me and Shahar for this episode, specifically on how to genuinely end your disordered eating without restricting your food at all. For real.

Our focus in this episode of the podcast is; “Does weight obsession make you fatter?” We speak with hundreds of people each year who are struggling with weight and binge eating. Nearly 100% have tried multiple diets or meal plans in that year, and often decades of diets before that. We’ve found that the people who always gain the weight back are the people who: - Weigh themselves frequently - Think about weight all the time - Look at foods as “good” or “bad” - Criticize themselves while looking in the mirror - Are always trying to lose weight - Sabotage themselves as they get closer to their goal weight In this week’s talk, our mindset coach Shahar is going to take us a few layers deeper into this issue for an in-depth look at why obsession with weight can take you farther away from your goals, and what you can do to make sure your weight loss story has a happy ending. We’ll discuss: - What is weight obsession and how to know if you’re struggling with it - What are the tricks the mind plays to keep you in the cycle of weight gain - How can you find your ideal weight without focusing on weight at all? - How you can have complete food freedom without sabotaging your weight - Why we teach our clients to stop focusing on the scale, and why it works Join our e-mail list for strategy and tips: https://katie-papo.ck.page/98f25ebb7f Read more about us on our website: katiepapo.com Follow me on Facebook: facebook.com/katiepapo108 Join our private Facebook support group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bingeeatingweightloss/ If you're interested in working with us in our intensive program, message us directly: m.me/katiepapo108

If you have every thought; “If I don’t try to control what I eat, I’ll never lose weight! Or worse - I’ll GAIN weight!”, then this episode of the podcast is for you. We hear this a lot, and this week on the podcast, we’ll be covering this topic in detail, including: - How to lose weight permanently without dieting - The difference between people who lose weight once versus those who keep gaining the weight back - Why focusing on the scale may be slowing down your weight loss efforts - Why your last diet may have led to weight gain - How to break the dieting cycle permanently without worrying about your weight - How you can get rid of your food rules and still lose weight in the long-term If you’ve been struggling with weight for years, and you’ve been going back and forth between dieting and binge eating, you’ll definitely want to hear this talk.

This brain rewiring technique is a game-changer. We’ve given many talks on the actual strategy we use to end binge eating and food addiction (which we’ll also cover briefly in this podcast) but the main focus will be on how to EXPEDITE your progress, so you can experience food freedom as quickly and easily as possible. I’ll specifically be going over one core technique that we teach ALL our clients, starting on their Day 1, that expedites their progress faster than anything else. I’ll teach you that technique in detail during this talk. I’m rarely attracted to quick fixes, but I’ve noticed that when you go through a tried and true system properly, the results do come more quickly. For us, the difference has been ending binge eating in weeks, rather than many months or years (or decades). Most people think it needs to take years, but it really doesn’t when you’ve got the right techniques in place. In this week’s podcast, we’re going to talk about simple practices you can use to rewire your brain so your progress comes faster than ever. That means: - Feeling more free around food, without worry of losing control - Being able to have any food in the house without fear - Living your life without a single food rule (and knowing you don’t need them to control yourself) - Enjoying food more, without trying to eat less - Feeling more successful and beating yourself up less - Enjoying the ride! :-) I’ll spend most of the podcast on this core technique and why it works, and how to use it in conjunction with the other steps we teach our clients.

What if your fear of failure is holding you back from ending binge eating once and for all? (Or what if a fear of success is a hidden puzzle piece of your self-sabotage problem?) We’ve noticed that even when people have everything they need to succeed, the fear of failure can lead very quickly to self-sabotage. And if you have an “all or nothing” personality, it can feel even worse, leading to more binges in the long run. This week’s podcast is led by our food freedom mindset coach, Shahar, who has coached our clients through countless “aha moments” as they shift from binge eating to food freedom. He’ll help you understand the crucial mindset shifts necessary to not only overcome the fear of failure, but also the hidden fear of success, and the self-sabotage that has kept you stuck.

We’ll cover: - What food addiction really is - How to handle food addiction vs other addictions (and why we treat them differently) - Pros and cons of various food addiction approaches - How to rid yourself of food addiction completely, and no longer be a “food addict” - The steps we teach our clients to do just that ^^ Join our e-mail list for strategy and tips: https://katie-papo.ck.page/98f25ebb7f Read more about us on our website: katiepapo.com Follow me on Facebook: facebook.com/katiepapo108 Join our private Facebook support group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bingeeatingweightloss/ If you're interested in working with us in our intensive program, message us directly: m.me/katiepapo108

On this edition of the podcast, we explore these often-asked questions: “Why do I keep doing this to myself?” “Why do I binge after I’m good all day?” “Why can’t I stop?” We’ll be answering these questions in this week’s podcast.

If you haven’t yet been able to overcome self-sabotage behaviors, this edition of the podcast could potentially save you YEARS of failure and/or relapse. I’ve designed this episode specifically for those who struggle with binge eating, food addiction, or emotional eating. If your hard work and efforts always end in self-sabotage, this is going to be right up your alley. There’s a reason why you self-sabotage, and with a few tweaks to your thinking patterns, you can release it for good. It then becomes infinitely easier to be successful without worrying about undoing all your hard work. Consider this: 100% of our clients have a long history of self-sabotage around food … so knowing how to navigate self-sabotage is a non-negotiable skill for a life of true food freedom. So in this talk, I’m going to share exactly what I share with our clients. (On a personal note, I used to call myself the QUEEN of self-sabotage. This topic is especially close to my heart because if I hadn’t learned these concepts, I’d probably still be binge eating.)

The fear of failure can come up A LOT when you’re stuck in the binge cycle. In these next 2 weeks, we’re going to talk about: · Fear of Failure · Self-Sabotage and the Fear of Success In this edition of the podcast, we’ll focus on how to overcome the fear of failure, so you’ll always progress closer to food freedom, no matter what happens. Which sounds most like you? · “Each day, I start off strong, but I dread the evening when I lose control and binge. All my hard work goes to waste, and I fail again.” · “I want to get help to end my binge eating, but I’ve failed everything else before, so I’m afraid to try again, out of fear it will be another disappointment.” · “I keep trying new things to stop binge eating, but I fail every time.” · “I already found the perfect solution for me, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to sustain it, and that I’ll fail eventually.” · “Even if I reached my goal, how would I ever sustain it? It feels endless, and that I’m bound to fail.” If any of these thoughts surface in your mind, this talk is for you. No matter where the fear of failure is coming up in your own life, there are just a few core mindset shifts that will help you not only release the fear of failure, but that will help you succeed faster than ever before. We’ll be talking about these highly specific mindset shifts to overcome failure in this podcast. PS If this topic resonates with you, prepare to stay tuned for next week as well, where we’ll discuss another layer of this: self-sabotage and the fear of success.

Contrary to popular belief, food freedom isn’t just about “eating what you want.” In fact, most people we speak with have a huge fear of eating what they want ― worried it will open the food floodgates and they’ll feel completely out of control. If that describes you, you’re the perfect person to listen to this episode of the podcast. It’s likely you don’t have a full understanding of what food freedom actually is … yet. And if you don’t know what exactly you’re creating, how can you trust yourself to build it? In this podcast, we’ll help you understand exactly what food freedom is (and what it isn’t!) We’ll also go over the major stumbling blocks that stop most people before they start. This talk is an important one ― it’s the essence of everything we teach our clients, most of whom have already ended at least 10-40+ years of binge eating and food addiction. Once you understand how food freedom really works, it will be easier than anything you’ve ever tried, and food will become something you can just enjoy, and then move on from ... just like any “normal” eater.

This edition of the podcast is an introduction to the art and science of rewiring the brain around food. If you already know that diets, weight loss programs, therapy, willpower and nutritionists/dietitians/trainers/doctors have never brought you lasting success, you are in the same boat as 100% of our clients, who experienced the same for decades. The good news is, with this strategy of brain rewiring, none of those things are relevant or necessary for your success. All you need is a brain that’s capable of building a strong habit. And if you’re already stuck in the binge cycle, that’s proof your brain can do what we need it to do. This process of brain rewiring is not mysterious. It’s not complicated. I still use this myself in all areas of life, and it’s what we teach all our clients to use with food. All it takes is repeated practice of the right actions, with the right attitude. We’ll go over the main concepts of brain-rewiring in this talk, so you can see for yourself how it works regardless of how long you’ve struggled in the past (we’ve had clients leave 50 years of binge eating behind using this method). Any committed and coachable individual can create peace and freedom with food.

Last week on the podcast, we talked about ending compulsive binge eating. This week we’re talking about how to end food obsession. In other words, how to stop thinking about food all the time! Answer these questions to know if this talk will be relevant to you: - Are you paying so much attention to food (or thoughts of food) that you’re not able to be present with the people around you, or fully enjoy your life? - Do you find yourself constantly thinking about food when you don’t want to? - Do you find yourself way too obsessed with your weight, constantly thinking about it? - Are you constantly thinking of the next diet, food rule, or plan to follow? A new diet or set of food rules will just give you something new to obsess about it. This talk is about ending the obsession all together. We’ll go over 2 main strategy types that you can start with as soon as today. We’ll go over examples of how to use each one so you can implement them in your daily life. These small but mighty strategies are scientifically-proven to change brain/thinking patterns, and we use these strategies ourselves, and with our private 1:1 clients.

This edition of the podcast will kick off a 2-part series on Ending Compulsive Overeating and Food Obsession. I’ll be simplifying to focus on two main things: - Compulsion (that intense urge to eat, binge, restrict, etc.) - Obsession (constantly thinking about it) Part 1 will focus on the “compulsion” element and how to release it, without relying on excessive force or willpower; and next week, Part 2 will focus on the “obsession” element, using the exact same 4 simple principles, applied in different ways. We’ll cover: - Why the urge to binge re-surfaces - 4 core principles that have helped me (and our clients), achieve peace and ease with food - How “sustaining your freedom” works, and how you can apply these principles over a lifetime, as your relationship with food heals over time Join our e-mail list for strategy and tips: https://katie-papo.ck.page/98f25ebb7f Read more about us on our website: katiepapo.com Follow me on Facebook: facebook.com/katiepapo108 Join our private Facebook support group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bingeeatingweightloss/ If you're interested in working with us in our intensive program, message us directly: m.me/katiepapo108

Last week (in Part 1) we talked about 4 thought patterns that make binge eating, food addiction, and emotional eating worse, slow down the recovery process, and contribute to relapse. If you find yourself ... - Getting stuck in the all-or-nothing mentality - Making lots of rules for yourself that you have trouble sticking to - Beating yourself up and rarely giving yourself credit for your successes - Saying "I should" a lot ...then this talk is for you. We named them: All or Nothing Thinking, Favoring the Negative, Rule Making, and Thinking in "Shoulds." (Review Part 1 for a full explanation) This week (in Part 2) we'll talk about how to systematically replace these thought patterns with ones that serve you better to heal and recover with peace. Why is this important? Listen to this podcast for more valuable insights… You'll leave this podcast with practical ways to start shifting your own thoughts immediately, making your recovery process smoother and more peaceful.

In this episode we’ll discuss a few core thought patterns that sabotage people faster than anything else. Especially when it comes to binge eating and food addiction, we've found that these same 4 patterns show up for almost EVERYONE. Understanding these thought patterns is important because it's a big part of what makes a long-term, sustainable recovery from binge eating and food addiction possible. I noticed that when people don't shift these thoughts, they relapse far more often than people who do, and they also take much longer to heal. In other words, listening to this talk has the potential to save your future self a lot of time and energy. So here's how we'll do this ... Over the next 2 weeks, we'll cover this topic in depth. This episode of the podcast is Part 1, where we'll explore these 4 thought patterns. Then you'll get to see over the week which ones are most common in your own mind. You'll know which ones to work on. Then, watch for our next podcast, Part 2, where we’ll focus on ways to shift these thought patterns immediately (often, instantaneous in the moment), so your recovery process can be peaceful, efficient, and drama-free.

On this edition of the podcast, we talk about control. The topic of control MUST be addressed if you've struggled with binge eating for years, and especially if you keep asking yourself, "Why am I so out of control?" I've found that mastering this "control" element is one of the most important keys to ending binge eating. It's definitely the complete *opposite* of how most people operate, and for me, (growing up as the classic Type A, overachiever, easily addicted and obsessive personality) this has been one of my most important life lessons.

In this edition of the podcast, we'll be talking about setting yourself up for success in the New Year ... and how to avoid the self-sabotage that tends to come a few months after the New Year. (We won't be talking about typical, conventional New Year's resolution setting, like setting SMART goals or finding accountability buddies, etc. We're talking specifically about how to make sustainable, deep change.) We'll be talking about 3 main steps, since we often see that most people skip the first two steps, and then end up in self-sabotage as a result.

Shifting out of the scarcity mentality and into a mentality of abundance is an important key to food freedom. Today, we talk about this important shift.

Today we'll expand more deeply on the topic, "The Pleasure Principle", which is one of the most important principles to end binge eating permanently. We teach this in great detail to every single one of our clients, and today we'll be teaching it to you.   This will be especially helpful if you've found yourself saying, "If I could just learn to eat for fuel instead of pleasure, I wouldn't binge anymore." If that sounds like you, you won't want to miss this one.  Pleasure is the solution ― not the problem. The problem is when we keep eating to the point where pleasure turns into discomfort or pain. When you learn to eat for enjoyment, pleasure, and satisfaction, it helps the binges go away on their own, without a willpower battle.  We'll be covering this topic in more depth (with an example about the world's biggest chocolate bar) today, so you can see how this one critical principle can lead you to achieve food freedom.
