Beat The Binge September Accountability Group
Many of you have probably read that I have struggled with emotional binge eating in the past. I was never diagnosed with a disorder but then again it was my dark secret that no one knew about so how could I have ever been diagnosed? I only recently let social media know about my past struggles and many people commented or reached out to me telling me that they are currently struggling with emotional binge eating or have in the past. The love and support I have received from social media is amazing and I thank all of you for that. We are not alone and that in itself is very comforting. If you haven't read about my past you can here.
The most common question I was asked was "how did you stop?" Of course, it wasn't just one thing that helped build a healthier relationship with food but there are a few things that I know helped me a lot. One was personal development/self help and learning to recognize my emotions and deal with the problem on hand rather than close off from the world and eat. The second was surrounding myself with people who built me up and were always positive - every single day. I had too many negative nancy's in my life that I needed to disconnect myself from. Some of those positive people I surrounded myself with were my team members and some of them helped more than they will ever know. Sometimes I just needed the moral support/motivation and just someone who listened while other times I needed advice with what I could do to help myself. Either way, they were there for me.
I've decided that I want to run an accountability group for people who are struggling with binge eating.
I'm super excited becuase today there was a new release of a 3 week yoga retreat on Beachbody on Demand and I would love for it to be part of our daily routine. For people who are just starting to exercise this will be a perfect form of exercise but for others who want a little bit more this will be in addition to our regular workout. Either way, yoga will be part of our accountability group.
In the group, I will show you things that have helped me. We will focus on changing the way we think and think about why we binge in the first place (the reason will be different for everyone) and find solutions to help us stop.
The group will focus on meal planning and learning to deal with our emotions while slowly developing healthier habits for ourselves. It will focus on self love and be a positive environment for everyone. It will be an environment that when a binge does occur (because it will happen) you can come and tell it in the Facebook group so we can help you through it. I will suggest personal development and you will be required to tell me your take away from it and how it has helped you.
The main focus will be on how we feel and each one of us will be required to work on a reasonable personal as well as a fitness goal together. Don't expect to immediately succeed but with work and time you will succeed. This group will run for 28 days with the option to continue on after the 28 days. Ideally, I would love to see this group continue on for a long time. Emotional binge eating doesn't go away over night so real success will be seen in those who commit to a longer period of time.
If you would like to be part of the group send me a message so I can save you a spot or fill out the application below. You deserve a healthy relationship with food.
