What to do When the Urge to Binge Hits

Elena Kunicki
About this episode

You’ve tried meditating, calling a friend, drinking some tea, shaking your body, setting a timer for 10 minutes, taking a walk…and basically every other strategy out there to NOT eat when the urge to binge hits.

 

But once that little voice in your head says “f*ck it…let’s open the floodgates and eat everything we want.” all your best laid plans go out the window.

 

You end up waking up the next day with that terrible sinking feeling as it sets in that you lost control and “ruined your progress” yet again.

 

You’re not alone.

 

So what DO you do when the urge to binge hits?

 

In this episode I share the strategy that has allowed me + hundreds of my clients not only NOT binge in the moment but also be completely free from the urge to binge FOR GOOD.
