Sitting on the couch on a Sunday night after eating and drinking everything in sight over the last 2 and a half days!
Do you ever have this happen?
You’re probably feeling frustrated, and frankly pissed off at yourself for being back to square one
And you might not exactly be back to square one, but that’s what it can feel like
After a binge that you really didn’t need
Especially if you feel like you have no control over when these happen
Or even how they start!
Sure, you know that you’re stressed, and tired
Do you know what the tipping point is?
Why sometimes you’re stressed and tired and don’t binge, and other times you do?
If you’re expecting an answer from me, sorry, it actually has to come from you
No trickery here, you know your life much better than I do
You know what’s going on inside your head, what happened leading into the binge
The problem is, that if you’ve never actually sat down and walked through it
Step by step, you probably couldn’t tell me exactly what separates those weekends
And so it feels like each time is a different trigger and cause
If you zoom out, and look at not just one binge event, but 3, or 20 of them at once
Then you can start to see patterns over time
When this happens, THEN I binge
It could be, “when we order takeaway on a Friday night, the rest of the weekend goes worse than it should”
(This is mine)
Without knowing this critical bit of information you could be banging your head against the wall
Having no idea why some weekends are good and some weekends are a binge fest
With this information, there’s so many options available
The problem is taking a birds eye view of your own life is tough
You’re too emotionally involved
That’s where a good coach comes in
