Don't make this bigger than it is . . .
In ANY journey there's ups and downs, leaps forward and setbacks. Why would we think a journey to overcome emotional/binge eating overeating would be any different? Messing up is totally normal and you should EXPECT it to happen! The real problem is that when we "mess up" we go down the shame and guilt spiral, we decide it's never going to change, we'll always struggle, nothing will ever work, I'm a horrible person, etc. etc. We get stuck in the "failure" and can't move forward from it.
The trick to overcoming setbacks is to learn the lesson and move on as fast as possible! Your binge or overeat was just one tiny blip on the entire timeline of your life and the entire personhood of you and the entire journey that you're on. It's just one thing one time. We need to stop making it so big, stop making it mean so much. Stop allowing it to define who you are, or what you're capable of it does none of those things, all of those things are lies. Stop believing in those lies and stop repeating those lies in your own brain.
What if you could see your binge or overeat experience as an opportunity to learn about yourself? What if you saw it as an opportunity to give yourself some more grace and some more compassion and really understand what it is that you truly need right now? What if you saw this an an opportunity to train your brain to stop being so habitual all the time and make more conscious choices? If you can start to see an event like a binge or overeat as practice to get better, I promise you, you're gonna move forward so much faster. Friend, you can do this. I'll help.
