…starring a metronome and a teenage arsonist. HEADS UP: Go to http://www.theshiftinside.com/survey/ to complete the short questionnaire if you feel like you are an empath In today’s show I talk about the real reason that so many people are in a binge-restrict cycle and one client shares her story of getting off this toxic seesaw. You probably think this cycle is how you control your greed and out-of-control appetite. WRONG. This cycle does not start with a binge – it starts with deprivation. My name for it is The Metronome, and you can see some images to explain this process at http://www.theshiftinside.com/metronome/ I interview a group coaching client, Louise, who shares about: All of the failed unsustainable diets and other solutions she tried The changes she has seen since starting coaching “I was the inner critic’s teacher’s pet, but I am delighted to say that I have freedom from this, and my binges are almost gone”. How the group support helped her The importance of imperfectionism and sustainable change.   RESOURCES Coaching information: http://www.theshiftinside.com/coaching/
