Summary

If you're working on stopping binge eating, and you notice that you're eating more, or are feeling worse, you might think that you're doing it wrong. But actually, it just might mean that you're on the right track. How can that be? That's what I'll explain in this episode.

Too often, people freak out and stop doing what they're doing when things get worse but in some cases, they're abandoning something that IS actually helping them. So listen in to find out if you're actually on the right track when you feel or eat worse. It just might be something that you need to go through and you are in fact progressing as it's happening.
