Stop Binge Eating —
Even If Nothing Else Worked

Most books on binge eating tell you to try harder. To build willpower. To be kinder to yourself. To follow another plan.

This one doesn’t. It starts from a different place: that binge eating is not a willpower problem, not a discipline problem, and not a sign of something broken inside you. It’s a specific mechanism in the brain, and it has a name, and it can be worked with.

This book is an account of that mechanism — what it is, how it works, and how to begin to separate from it.

This book is for women who have tried everything. Diets. Fasting. Therapy. Apps. Hypnotherapy. Books that told them to love themselves more. Programmes that told them to eat less. Approaches that worked for a while and then stopped working, or never worked at all.

It is for anyone who has reached the end of what willpower can do, and is ready to understand the actual thing they’ve been fighting.

• Why willpower and discipline haven’t worked — and what your brain is actually doing when a craving takes over.
• How to recognise the voice that tells you to eat when you don’t want to, and why it sounds so much like your own.
• What to do in the moment a craving hits, so that food no longer has the final word.
• Why shame keeps the cycle going, and how to step out of it.
• What becomes possible when food stops occupying so much of your mental space.
