In this video, I’m talking about something I honestly don’t hear people address enough: what do you do when you binge and then you gain weight rapidly—like, the kind of weight gain that feels obvious to everyone. If you struggle with binge eating disorder like I do, you know how heavy the shame and embarrassment can feel, and how easy it is to spiral into “I hate how I look right now” thoughts. I share a chapter that really hit me in the Brain Over Binge Recovery Guide—Chapter 32 on weight—and how it helped me shift my attitude toward the extra weight I’m carrying. What I took away from this chapter is that I need to get the habit of binge eating under control before I focus on weight loss. The guide explains that weight loss attempts can ignite survival instincts and food cravings, and that weight often starts taking care of itself once binge eating stops. It also reminds me to focus on what I’m gaining by being binge-free—clarity, peace, health, confidence—instead of obsessing over the scale not changing instantly. If you’re dealing with that impatience and shame, I hope this helps you keep things in perspective and feel less alone.
