Summary
It probably makes sense to you to label yourself as a binge eater. You do binge eat, right? But here's the question to consider: does it serve you to label yourself that way?
Whether it's true or not that you binge eat, how you label yourself is a choice and it's one that will cause you to feel a certain way about yourself. What you think about what you do matters. In this episode, I'm showing you the effect this label has on you, how it might be perpetuating your binge eating, and other options for how you can acknowledge this problem in your life that won't cause such shame and embarrassment.
