About this episode

I know this may sound crazy, but there are times when you want to binge. OF COURSE most of the time you don't, which is why you're listening to a podcast about stopping binge eating. But, if you 100% never wanted to binge ever, then you wouldn't. So, why DO you want to? In this episode I'm sharing 3 main reasons why.

 

When you know why you feel a desire to binge, then you can work on decreasing that desire. So listen in to find out why you feel it, why you sometimes want to binge, and what you can do to decrease that desire.
