    165. But I Can't Stop Overeating
    Sep 11 2024
    In this episode, hosts Stefanie and Sarah dive into the complexities surrounding overeating, especially in the context of recovery from binge eating. They discuss the difference between binge eating and overeating, and explore how habits, stress, and emotional regulation play into our eating behaviors. Using real-life anecdotes and client experiences, they offer compassionate insights into understanding and managing overeating without demonizing it. Listeners will also learn about the psychological and physiological factors that can contribute to this behavior, including the role of hormones and histories of ED. They also speak to those who suffer from chronic overeating patterns in the absence of binge or an ED. Join Stefanie and Sarah as they unpack these nuanced topics and provide a supportive space for anyone struggling with overeating.

Amazing

loving this podcast ..a refreshing free-ing take on how to approach food and how different diets just trap us and make us continually unhappy with ourselves..and the binge restrict cycle..some episodes go into more detail about intuitive eating and dealing with binge urges..I hope they continue to do many more episodes :)

Really lovely listen! Great facts and advice.

I'm just making my way through these podcasts after hearing about Sarah on a Google search. I was really happy to discover a podcast and see the titles of the episodes and how much they resonate with me and my experience. I've read lots of things over the years which have helped tremendously but I think these ladies are the final pieces of my puzzle. They are both really inspiring and have come from a place where they each know their own struggles with binge eating that I can relate and learn from. I'm also listening to Sarah's book on YouTube which is fab. I've struggled with the control i have around food for years. I've lost weight but found the brain impulses still to be so strong on a daily basis. I'm now taking time to get to know myself again and make connections between my psychology and physiology so that I can make peace with myself. Thanks very much ladies - keep believing in yourselves and what you're doing.

This podcast has had such a positive impact on me!

Sarah and Steph share their stories and experiences, exploring different topics each episode. I can't tell you how many 'lightbulb' moments I've had while listening to it, there are just far too many to count!! As someone with an eating disorder diagnosis and my own food struggles it's hard to find people who truly knows what it's like. Listening to this podcast has given me a chance to not just reflect on my journey so far but to also understand it better, to know my thoughts and feelings are shared and 'normal'. I feel like I'm part of a bigger conversation and it's given me hope, support, a greater appreciation for how far I've come and most importantly to me, helped me explore aspects of my journey that I hadn't considered before. Thanks to this podcast I've even pinpointed where and when it all began! Thank you both for sharing so much of yourselves, you'll probably never really know the extent of the impact you're having!
