Video Description
What if binge eating isn’t just self-sabotage — but an unconscious attempt to check out of life when it feels too painful to stay present? In this video, I explore the hidden functions and emotional payoffs of binge eating that I only began to understand in hindsight. From numbing psychological pain to navigating transitions between identities or roles, bingeing served as a temporary escape from myself — and from the moments I didn’t want to feel. This isn't about justifying the behaviour, but about gently uncovering what it was trying to do for me — so I could begin to meet those needs differently. If you’ve ever felt like food is your exit strategy, or that life without bingeing feels terrifyingly exposed, I hope this conversation helps you feel less alone. Together, we’ll reflect on how recovery is less about willpower, and more about building a life we no longer want to escape from.
