Summary
Any time you feel the discomfort of urges or negative emotions, it's really easy to eat and make it go away. But this is a very short term solution and will most likely put you right back in discomfort after you're done whether it be the same thing you tried to avoid in the first place or a whole new slew of post-binge discomfort.
Your search for constant comfort is keeping you stuck in binge eating. In this episode, I'm showing you how it's keeping you stuck, why you keep doing it, and why it's so important to allow yourself to feel discomfort. Spoiler alert - your goals depend on it.
