Ditch Decade Diets Podcast

I genuinely thought I was some special unicorn because my binge urges felt SO much stronger than everyone else’s. I could eat healthy all day, know I’d regret bingeing, know I’d feel overly full and bloated after… and still feel like I HAD to give in when the urge hit. In this episode, I’m sharing what actually changed when I stopped trying to be perfect and started practicing not automatically gi...

Have you ever gone days, weeks or even MONTHS without bingeing… felt proud of yourself, better in your body & maybe even had fewer food thoughts…and then suddenly the urge comes back and you’re thinking What the heck n Bob is happening?! I thought I was doing so well. Maybe you’ve had stretches where you weren’t bingeing because you stayed busy. You kept sweets out of the house. You avoided ba...

You know that moment when a binge urge comes on and suddenly it feels like you need to do SOMETHING? Maybe you’re standing in the kitchen opening cupboards even though you’re not physically hungry. You’re thinking about the chocolate. The chips. The cereal. The leftovers. And a part of you is saying: “Don’t do it.” “Get out of the kitchen.” “Distract yourself.” “Just don’t binge.” So you scroll yo...

Have you ever wondered why your binge urges feel SO strong now…like the second one comes on, the binge already feels inevitable? You know you don’t want to binge. You know you’ll probably feel heavy, bloated, uncomfortable and frustrated afterward. But in the moment, your Binge Brain starts saying: “Who cares?” “One last time.” “I’ll do better tomorrow.” And giving in can honestly feel easier than...

Have you ever looked at somebody else who stopped bingeing and thought “That’s great for her…but I’m different.” Maybe you have health and fitness goals and you’re terrified to stop tracking your food. Maybe you have food sensitivities and feel like strict food rules are your only option. Maybe you’ve struggled with binge eating since you were young. Or maybe life feels SO stressful right now that...

Binge eating doesn’t just affect what happens in the kitchen. It can impact your mood, confidence, sex life, self-worth, mental health, relationships and your ability to actually feel present in your own life. In this episode, I’m talking about the hidden cost of binge eating especially when everyone around you thinks you’re healthy, fit and disciplined, but behind closed doors you’re carrying sha...

Do you ever wake up thinking “Okay, TODAY I’m not going to binge.” You eat your healthy breakfast. You get your workout in. You try to be “good” with food. And then one thing happens… You have a stressful day. You eat more than you planned. You skip your workout. You have the cookie you told yourself you shouldn’t have. And suddenly your Binge Brain says “Eff it. You already messed up.” In this sp...

Have you ever gone weeks or even MONTHS without bingeing…only to have one stressful day, vacation, night home alone or “eff it” moment send you right back into old habits? You might think “But I was doing SO well. Why can’t I sustain this?” In this episode, I’m breaking down why willpower is NOT a sustainable strategy for binge urges, even if you’re incredibly disciplined, motivated and successful...

Have you ever wondered why your binge urges feel SO strong, even when you genuinely want to stop? For years, I thought I needed to find the perfect diet. I tried tracking macros, intermittent fasting and being “good” with food…but all of it made me think about food even more and made my urges feel stronger. Eventually, I realized something that completely changed how I looked at binge eating... Bi...

Do you want to heal your relationship with food without feeling like you have to give up caring about your health or how you feel in your body? Maybe you’re scared that if you stop tracking, controlling or following food rules, you’ll swing to the opposite extreme... eating whatever you want, gaining weight and feeling even MORE uncomfortable in your own skin. But eating normally isn’t about restr...

Have you tried intuitive eating only to feel like you’re eating whatever you want, overeating more and somehow feeling even MORE out of control around food? You went from dieting, tracking and following food rules to: “Just listen to your body.” “Eat when you’re hungry.” “Stop when you’re full.” “Give yourself unconditional permission to eat.” But…what if you don’t actually know how to hear what y...

Do you know you don’t want to binge… but the second a strong binge urge hits, it feels like you HAVE to give in? In this episode, I’m breaking down why binge urges feel so strong, how binge eating becomes a habit in your brain, and how to start rewiring the urge binge cycle so you can eat like a normal person again. You’ll learn: Why binge urges can become stronger the more you give in How restric...

Your binge on sweets may have started before you even ate the chocolate. You craved chocolate, but chose fruit, almonds and a protein bar instead. Now you’re full, still unsatisfied and thinking about chocolate even more. In this episode, I explain why avoiding the food you actually want can lead to overeating later and how honouring a craving can help you feel satisfied and move on. You’ll learn:...

Stopping when you’re comfortably full can feel surprisingly uncomfortable when your brain is used to eating past fullness. In this episode, I explain why overeating becomes a habitual cycle, why your hunger and fullness cues aren’t broken, and how repetition can rewire your brain so comfortable fullness becomes your new normal. You’ll learn: Why stopping when full feels uncomfortable How overeatin...

Have you ever watched someone eat one homemade chocolate chip cookie with a cup of tea and then casually move on with their day? Meanwhile, the moment you eat something sweet, it feels like something switches in your brain. You have one cookie, immediately want another and start telling yourself: “I should only have one.” “Why can’t I stop?” “I’ve already messed up.” Before you know it, you’ve eat...

If trigger foods feel scary to you, you are not alone. Maybe every time you’ve bought the cookies, chocolate, bread, chips or ice cream, you ended up eating more than you wanted, feeling out of control, and thinking, “See? This is why I can’t trust myself.” So of course your brain says: We know how this ends.” But feeling scared does not mean you’re doing anything wrong. And it does not mean avoid...

I used to feel like I had absolutely NO CONTROL around ice cream, chocolate, bread, pasta, dried mangoes, almond butter, protein bars. The moment I was around them, I would binge on them. So I would avoid them.  I'd keep them out of the house and think "out of sight out of mind". But that just left me thinking about them SO MUCH MORE. So I felt so torn on how to eat these foods with...

I used to think that maybe my binge eating wasn't "that bad". Because I had a great life. My relationship with my bf was great, my family was loving and supportive, I was somewhat able to maintain my weight (even though I was sooo uncomfortable in my own skin). I was successful with my career... Things were going well. But I knew I was just managing my binge eating because it came i...

JOIN THE 30 DAY CHALLENGE HERE You’re either winging it & hoping you won’t give in by trying to go to bed early, promising yourself you’ll never binge again, not buying the chocolate Or you’re not even trying to stop yourself from going into the pantry because you tell yourself it’s too hard, I deserve it, it’s like a reward, it’s the only time I get for myself. Both leave you exhausted &...

I went from tracking every gram of food I was consuming, eating healthy all day & losing my sh*t on way too many sweets come 9pm, feeling broken and like I was going to spend the rest of my life bingeing and thinking about food To… Food being the most effortless part of my day. I’m in the driver seat of how much I eat, not my urges. I enjoy my delicious pancakes for breakfast that taste like b...

Every diet I went on felt like climbing Mount Everest. It took so much effort, so much willpower, so much pushing. Which is why this felt… different. And honestly? That scared me. I remember thinking: Do you even want to let this go? Because if binge eating went away… who would I be without it? What would I fill my time with? What would I look forward to at the end of the night if I wasn’t eating?...
