170. You Thought You Were Healed… So Why Are You Struggling Again?

In today's episode, I am answering the question: Hi Ryann, Through the help of your videos, my therapist, my nutritionist, and my own commitment to healing, I recovered from binge eating throughout 2023-2024 - or so I thought. Lately I have been having “mini” binges, often when I’m particularly tired, stressed, o otherwise triggered. I tend to stop these mini binges in their tracks before they become full-blown binges, but it has me wondering: Why has the urge to binge resurfaced, and why am I finding myself starting to obsess about what I’m eating again? I thought I already “did the work.” Thanks for all you do! Your videos have made me feel so seen and find the strength to commit to healing my relationship with food.
