You probably feel competent in many areas of your life. But you may not feel so competent, or confident, when it comes to the amount and type of food you eat, or the way you look and feel in your body.

(Don’t worry—we’ll return to our exploration of boundaries after this series. Today’s episode explores the first of the 12 keys to stop bingeing: You’ve got to have your own back.

You may want to consider going beyond understanding and clarifying boundaries to evaluating boundaries. This involves exploring whether you’re setting your boundary from a place of peace and from regard for yourself and others, exploring whether you’re enforcing your boundary from a place of peace and from regard for yourself and others, and ensuring you’re not confusing a boundary with a manual. This creates the possibility of moving forward in relationships from a place of authenticity and love while leaving behind the shackles of resistance and fear. Relationships become more genuine and intimate when you’re willing to do this work. Listen to the episode to find out more!

I’ve been asking you to think about what your boundaries are. Remember violations to personal and emotional boundaries are events that jeopardize your safety or well-being. Not having any boundaries is probably going to start feeling a little trampled . . . kind of like a doormat. Having boundaries everywhere is probably going to start feeling a little claustrophobic . . . kind of like being enclosed in a fence, bordered by a wall, encircled by a partition, surrounded by a barrier, bounded by a roadblock—I think you get the idea! Keep these both of these ends of the continuum in mind as you find what feels right for you along the spectrum. Listen to the episode to find out more!

The last three episodes explored both the downside of having rules for others around your eating, your food, and your weight, and the upside of letting those rules go. But we were careful to acknowledge that taking responsibility for how you feel and what you do, regardless of other people’s behavior, doesn’t mean that you stay in relationships—or that you tolerate relationship dynamics—that harm you or don’t serve you well. Sometimes it’s necessary to set boundaries with other people, and that’s the focus of this episode! Listen in to find out more!

We’ve spent the last two episodes exploring the drawbacks to having rules for others around your eating, your food, and your weight. It was worth it to take the time to understand how having manuals for others holds us back because on the surface they seem like a pretty good idea. So, now that we’re clear that manuals are more trouble then than they’re worth, how do you get out of the habit of writing them at all? Listen in for the 10 steps you need to take to let go of your manuals and find more freedom than you ever expected!

We’re digging deeper into what it really means for us (and others!) when we have rules about how other people should behave around us, our eating, and our weight. Right now, for example, you might be asking others to police the way you eat. That might seem like a great idea, but it often leads to frustration and resentment for all involved. Others feel manipulated and you feel let down. This episode will help you better understand the problems with having rule books for others, so that you’ll be ready to let them go.

This episode continues the exploration of conditioned eating and focuses on staying in our power no matter what other people do with food around us. You might think that your partner shouldn’t have brought home Krispy Kreme, or your colleague should think twice before ordering in a crate of muffins for the office, or your neighbor could be a little more thoughtful about sending over cute little Chloe to sell chocolate bars for a desperately desired school trip. Well, I want to offer you another perspective on navigating the actions of other people in your life. Listen in to find out more!

One of the most deeply held beliefs preventing people from stopping at the level of fullness that feels best for them is that it’s wrong to waste food. If that’s something you believe, it’s a thought worth exploring because that thought often leads to guilt, which then leads us to eat the food we’re afraid to waste. We have so much baggage about throwing out food that we rarely stop to ponder that eating food we don’t need is just a different kind of waste. In this episode, we explore how to get to a place of peace around throwing away food. Listen to the episode to find out more!

Sometimes feeling full, satisfied even, can feel scary. If that’s you, you may reside in a half-starved state at or close to your goal weight but with a different kind of misery. Or, you may sprint from starved to stuffed, then slide back down to start the cycle again. Part of your work may be to edge up the hunger–fullness scale until you find a level of satisfaction or fullness that works better for you. This process can begin with asking what emotion you’d need to feel to allow yourself to tiptoe toward the edge of even the slightest satisfaction that comes with eating to a +1 on the fullness scale.
