If you’ve ever found yourself in the aftermath of a binge — flooded with guilt, panic, and promises to “fix it tomorrow” — this episode is for you.
In today’s episode of One Body to Love, I walk you through exactly what to do after a binge, not from a place of control or punishment, but from care, nervous system safety, and self-compassion. This episode is a practical, grounding guide you can come back to whenever the shame spiral starts to take over.
This isn’t about being perfect.
It’s about knowing what actually helps — even when everything feels messy.
Summary
Binge eating is rarely just about the food. It’s about what happens after: the mental math, the fear, the self-blame, and the urgent desire to undo what just happened. In this episode, I share a clear, step-by-step roadmap for navigating the post-binge moment in a way that reduces shame, prevents restriction, and supports long-term binge eating recovery.
I talk through how to calm your nervous system, nourish your body without compensation, and interrupt the binge–restrict cycle — even if you’re listening while the discomfort is still very real.
This episode may feel especially supportive if you:
- Binge eat at night
- Feel stuck in cycles of restriction and overeating
- Experience intense shame after eating
