How Much Is Binge Eating Really Costing You?

You’ve counted calories. You’ve never counted this.

Most binge eaters track what they eat. Almost none track what it costs. A takeaway here, a delivery there, a supermarket top-up, a programme that didn’t work, a gym membership that stopped getting used — none of it feels like the same thing, so the total never gets added up.

It has been adding up anyway. The calculator below puts it in one place. If you’ve been telling yourself you can’t afford to pay for support, it will show you the truth. You might find you can’t afford not to.

The number you just saw is only the part with a receipt. The rest doesn’t show up on any statement.

The hours spent thinking about food — planning it, regretting it, planning how to stop it. The mental space the whole thing occupies, day after day, that could have gone to enjoying your life, relationships, activities. For most people that’s the real expense, and it compounds the same as finances do. You don’t get the years back.

There is only one thing to decide now is whether you keep paying this. A consultation is free and there is no pitch, just a conversation. You can ask anything and decide for yourself what to do next.
