FOR WOMEN TIRED OF THE CYCLE: RESTRICT → BINGE → SHAME
FOR WOMEN TIRED OF THE CYCLE: RESTRICT → BINGE → SHAME
You’ve Tried to Fix This a Hundred Times
Every morning starts with a promise to yourself, “Today will be different.”
However, by night, you’re back in the pantry or standing at the fridge, eating fast and feeling out of control.
Afterward, you feel stuffed, uncomfortable, and furious with yourself.
You wonder why you don’t have more self-control.
You throw away the “binge foods,” convinced that’s the answer, only to dig them back out or buy more.
No matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to stop this cycle.
You’re tired of diets that work for a while but always end the same way.
You tell yourself you’ll skip meals or tighten up your eating, but it only makes things worse.
Binge eating isn’t about a lack of willpower.
It’s what happens when restriction, stress, and shame collide.
You’ve been doing the best with what you’ve had.
You’ve just been fighting a battle that no one ever taught you how to win with compassion.
A Kinder Way to End the Binge-Eating Cycle
Binge eating disorder treatment helps you stop the endless cycle of “I blew it, I need to make up for it,” skipping meals or tightening your eating, and then finding yourself binging again later.
It’s not about calorie tracking, food rules, or shrinking your body.
It’s about uncovering what food has been trying to soothe, and learning a more compassionate way to meet those needs. Overcoming binge eating means no longer waking up every morning thinking about what you should eat or how to undo what you ate the night before.
It means food stops being the center of your world, and you can trust yourself around food. That changes everything.
What Makes This Therapy Feel Different
What If You Didn’t Have to Keep Doing This Alone?

At Maple Canyon Therapy, I’m here to help you understand what’s been fueling the cycle, so you can finally stop fighting yourself and start feeling good again.
I provide binge eating disorder treatment for women in Salt Lake City and across Utah through secure online therapy, helping them understand what’s been fueling the binge–restrict cycle and how to find a more compassionate way forward.

Binging eating is treated individually depending on your needs. Some people need the support of a dietitian along with a binge eating disorder therapist to help them improve their relationship with food. I recommend all of my clients read the book “Intuitive Eating” and consider learning to be more in touch and in tune with their own bodies. Therapy sessions focus on understanding your history with binging and where it started. Truthfully I don’t talk with my clients a ton about their binging behaviors but more so focus on understanding your emotions, developing skills to cope, and being able to heal from the experiences that may have led you to trust food more than you trust yourself.

There is no easy way to answer this, and it’s not that simple. Many of the women I work with learned to binge eat as a way of taking care of themselves because that’s the only way they knew how. They learned to binge because it helped them get through painful emotions when they

Yes, there has been a researched link between ADHD and binge eating. It doesn’t mean that everyone who has ADHD binge eats, and it doesn’t mean that if you binge you automatically have ADHD. A symptom of ADHD is struggling with controlling impulses and being able to cope with strong emotions, which might lead to binge eating more often than those who don’t have ADHD. Having ADHD also means struggling with dopamine levels, which brings pleasure and reward. As a way of getting more of a dopamine hit, people with ADHD might binge eat. It’s important to get proper testing by a trained professional to find out if you meet the criteria for ADHD. Tiktok doesn’t count :).

Overeating and binging might seem similar, but they're a bit different. Overeating is eating past your fullness levels at a particular time. Maybe it’s having a bigger portion than usual during a meal and being more full than usual. Binging, on the other hand, is when you eat a lot of food very quickly, in secret, and often it feels like you can't control it. Binging also happens in a short period of time. So, while both involve eating more food, binging usually feels more intense.

There may be a few reasons why you are prone to binge at night. A common theme I see with the women I work with is that nighttime is the time when they can be alone. When they binge they don’t want to be judged by other people and feel so much shame about what they do that they wait until everyone else has gone to bed.
Another reason why people binge late at night is because they’ve tried to restrict food all day. Maybe because they binged the night before and are trying hard to compensate for it by not eating.
This leads to being overly hungry which makes you more vulnerable to binge. The biggest predictor of a binge is restriction.

Yes. Research shows that online therapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy for treating binge eating disorder.
Many women even prefer online sessions because they can talk openly in the comfort and privacy of their own home. I serve women all over the state of Utah including Salt Lake City, Logan, Provo, Heber City, St. George, Cedar City and all rural areas in between.
