Ep #127: How to Stop Restricting

KIRSTIN SARFDE
About this episode

Do you get stuck in the binge/restrict cycle? Before the binge stops, the restricting needs to stop first.

Restricting yourself in unhealthy ways is perpetuating your binge eating. This is probably not new information for you but what I'm talking about in this episode will be.

I'm going to tell you the reasons why you restrict and how to stop. Make this the year that you not only stop binge eating but you also stop restricting because you're scared or guilty.
