Ep: 93 Recovering from sugar addiction and binge eating: seeing slips and relapses as part of the process

Recovering from sugar addiction and binge eating: seeing slips and relapses as part of the process Ellie is an former chemical engineer now emotional eating coach and expert in sugar addiction after breaking through her own sugar addiction and binge eating disorder and reclaiming her health. She's coached hundreds of people to recover from sugar addiction, binge eating, and reclaim their health. Ellie is also a breathwork facilitator, yoga teacher, and the founder of Comfort Zone Retreats.  In this episode Ellie shares a poem by Portia Nelson (Poem Below) that depicts how we change habits and the process of becoming aware and taking ownership of destructive patterns.  Bringing the unconscious patterns and cycles to consciousness. Ellie shares her insights looking through the lens of binge eating and common restrictive, guilt, and shame cycles of addiction.  When we can accept that slips are part of the process, find compassion for ourselves,  and own our patterns,  the quicker we can learn and grow, get out of the "holes" faster,  and eventually take a new path.  21 Day Reset - October 10th, 2022 21 Day Reset Work with Ellie  Strategy Session Come on a Retreat  Comfort Zone Retreats Transformational Breathwork with Ellie 60 Minute Session Helpful Affirmations if you slip/relapse: I am learning.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk I fall in. I am lost … I am helpless. It isn’t my fault. It takes me forever to find a way out. Chapter II I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I pretend I don’t see it. I fall in again. I can’t believe I am in the same place but, it isn’t my fault. It still takes a long time to get out. Chapter III I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see it is there. I still fall in … it’s a habit. my eyes are open I know where I am. It is my fault. I get out immediately. Chapter IV I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it. Chapter V I walk down another street. by Portia Nelson
