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 ready to break free from the grip of fear foods and regain a healthy relationship with eating? In this blog post, we'll explore some practical steps that will help you challenge your fear foods and embrace a healthier and more balanced approach to food.
