People use the terms "binge eating" and "emotional eating" like they're the same thing... they're not! And knowing which one you're actually dealing with matters, because it changes what's going to help you in your recovery journey.
I used to have a long list of “not allowed” or “fear foods”. Things like chococlate, crisps and ice cream were most certainly off limits. I absolutely thought I was being disciplined, but as someone who was struggling with binge eating, I now know that completely avoiding foods like that can make the binges worse. In this post I'm breaking down what a fear food is, why avoiding it can make bingeing worse, why "just eat it" can backfire just as badly, and what actually works instead.
Are you following food rules all week? Maybe you're eating "clean," avoiding certain foods, or stick to a strict eating regime, only to find yourself mid-binge thinking, "Why can't I just stick to the plan?". Food rules often start with good intentions, but over time, they can become something that keeps the binge cycle going.
Have you ever eaten when you weren't really that hungry, but you were stressed, bored or sad? If so, you may well have wondered whether that counts as emotional eating... and, more importantly, whether it's something you need to worry about! In this post I'm breaking down what emotional eating actually is, what it isn't, and when it's worth paying attention to.
