The Binge Code: 7 Unconventional Keys to End Binge Eating and Lose Excess Weight

In Japan there’s an ancient technique of repairing objects called Kintsugi. It's the art of repairing broken ceramic bowls instead of discarding them. They fill the cracks with a gold speckled resin so that when the bowl is repaired it’s even more beautiful and valuable than before. Your binge eating issues are the cracks through which you can become an even more amazing person. Once you overcome binge eating, your experience can have a positive meaning and purpose in your life.

The binge urges do not control you. You are in control. Yes, I know in the middle of a binge urge it can feel impossible to resist. But even the most powerful desires are just feelings-coated information. They are simply messages, suggestions that can be followed or ignored. We can choose our reaction.
