Binge eating is not just about how much you’re eating, although that is ONE aspect of it. Most people will characterize binge eating based on the fact that they feel out of control, eat way past fullness (many times until they’re physically sick) and feel super guilty with food. But there are so many other signs to describe binge eating that may be a little harder to catch. In today’s episode I sh...

I had a conversation with one of my clients inside Ditch Decade Diets Academy and she asked, “what is self love?”. The reality is, not many people actually know what this looks like or feels like because we were never taught how to love ourselves growing up.
