The challenge we have in OA is: what creates the phenomenon of craving in me may not create it in you, and vice versa, which is why we're going to do an exercise towards the end to help you identify your binge foods, ingredients and behaviors.
What happens when our bodies and minds conspire against us in our battle with food addiction? In this episode of OA RISE, Kim G. opens up about her struggles with compulsive eating, diving deep into what she calls the 'allergy of the body' and the 'mental twist'. Through her candid storytelling, Kim sheds light on the intense cravings and irrational behaviors that many compulsive eaters face daily.
She doesn't just stop at sharing her story; she provides practical advice on how to identify binge foods and behaviors that trigger these cravings. But it's not all about the physical and mental challenges. Kim highlights the crucial role of spirituality, community support, and the steps of Overeaters Anonymous (OA) in her recovery journey. She also warns about the dangers of relapse and the importance of using available resources to stay on track.
To wrap things up, Kim offers a self-assessment exercise to help listeners pinpoint their own triggers, reminding us that recovery is a continuous process. If you're looking for inspiration, practical tips, or just a relatable story, this episode is a must-listen.
