If you want help to stop food noise, you’ll know this scenario all too well.  It’s 1pm, you’ve just eaten lunch, you’re full, but then you walk past a bakery, and all of a sudden you want that doughnut in the window, but the negotiation starts in your head. Should I get it? No, I […]

When you start working with a dietitian to help you recover from your eating disorder, it’s normal to feel scared. There’s often an idea that we’ll tell you to stop doing everything you’re doing, to make you change everything straight away, or worse, to make you let go of all structure.

Boredom eating, as it sounds, is eating food when you’re bored. If you’re reaching for snacks, particularly chips, lollies, or chocolate, when you’re not hungry to distract you or provide entertainment and stimulation, we’d classify this as boredom eating.

Sick of Googling “How to heal my relationship with food”? You’re not alone. It’s the most common request I hear from my clients: women who’ve spent decades using food as either punishment or reward and, as a result, have a love-hate relationship with food.

“I feel so guilty for binge eating,” said almost every client I’ve ever worked with. While using food to cope with our feelings can feel good in the moment, it’s quickly followed by guilt, shame, and negative self-talk. What I see as a binge eating dietitian is how we feel after a binge, which can lead to more bingeing, creating a vicious cycle that’s hard (but not impossible) to break. 

Understand what is the binge restrict cycle, how it’s the perfect storm for failure and also give you tools to break free from it!

As we learn more about ADHD and binge eating it makes sense why they’re linked, which we unpack and discuss in this latest blog article.
