In this episode, you’re going to hear from Robyn, who not only stopped binge eating after doing it for decades but, she did it while in her 70s. I have heard so many people tell me that they think they’ve been doing it for too long so they can’t change, or that they’re too old to change, and if you’ve ever said that about yourself, then you must listen to Robyn’s story. She was stuck in the restrict/binge cycle for such a long time, trying all the diets, and gaining and losing a lot of weight. And eating food was how she comforted and soothed herself for almost her entire life. She didn’t know how else to take care of her emotions. But now, she is changed. She is so different. The Robyn I talked to in this conversation is not the same as the Robyn I first met when she began my program. I’m so excited for you to hear her story, to hear how she’s changed, and to hear what she has to say. Interested in working with me?

Ep #368: Giving Yourself Permission to Feel Negatively
We tend to think that we want feel good, happy, and comfortable all the time. But really, we don’t. Sometimes, in certain circumstances, we WANT to feel angry, sad, or disappointed. But if you’re someone who doesn’t allow yourself to feel negatively, or is afraid to feel negatively, then you might experience a problem. You want to feel sad but, you don’t. So what do you do? That’s what I’m talking about in this episode. If you usually eat when you feel negative emotions, then give this episode a listen. Feeling good or eating aren’t your only options. I’m going to help you get on board with allowing yourself to feel those negative emotions when you want to...and sometimes, you will want to. Interested in working with me?
