Binge Eating Disorder (BED) – What You Should Know 💛

A 2025 study found that Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is still widely misunderstood and carries a lot of stigma. Many people mistakenly think it’s simply a matter of willpower, when in reality, BED is a complex mental health condition that affects emotional regulation, stress response, and brain reward pathways.

This misunderstanding can make it harder for those struggling to seek help or receive the care they need. Recognizing BED as a serious health condition—not a personal failing—is the first step toward creating a supportive environment for recovery.

💡 Fact: Early recognition and compassionate support improve access to effective treatments and long-term wellbeing.

We’re here to spread awareness, reduce stigma, and support understanding. If you or someone you know struggles with binge eating, remember: it’s not about willpower—it’s about care, understanding, and treatment.

Your boss messages you and asks if you can work over the weekend. You reply, “Yes, I’m available,” without checking your diary.

Your boss thanks you. You feel good for being reliable.

A few minutes later, you check your calendar and realize you already promised to pick your parents up from the airport. Now you’re annoyed. At your boss for asking. And at yourself for answering too quickly.

This exact kind of everyday situation is one of the scenarios explored in the Better Self-Control Workbook — to help you recognize patterns like this when they happen.

💬 Now, let me ask you. What usually goes through your mind after this?

I can live with the mistake.
What I struggle with is the story that forms afterward.

That one impulsive moment becomes their "evidence".
Evidence that I’m careless. Unstable. Too much.

Shame doesn’t just react to what happened.
It rewrites who you are.

And once identity gets tangled with behavior,
self-forgiveness starts to feel dishonest.

This is why impulsivity hurts long after the moment passes. Not because of what we did, but because of what we decide it means about us.

🎥 Movie Recommendation: Uncut Gems

Howard Ratner is a New York jeweler drowning in debt, lies, and a compulsive gambling habit. When he gets his hands on a rare opal, he becomes convinced that one perfectly timed win will fix everything. Instead of slowing down, he doubles down—placing riskier bets as the pressure from creditors, family, and reality closes in.

Howard isn’t chasing money. He’s chasing relief.
Every impulsive decision is an attempt to outrun anxiety and reclaim control until the chase itself becomes the trap.

Howard shows us how impulsivity isn’t always reckless excitement; sometimes it’s panic dressed up as hope.

When stopping feels like losing, what helps you choose pause over another gamble? 💥

Understanding ADHD goes far beyond attention and focus—it’s also about impulsive habits and how the brain manages urges, emotions, and rewards. People with ADHD often act before thinking, not because they don’t care, but because their brain processes motivation and consequences differently. Impulsivity can show up as interrupting, emotional outbursts, impulsive spending, binge behaviors, or struggling to pause before reacting.

At the core, ADHD affects the brain’s executive functions—the skills responsible for self-control, planning, and emotional regulation. When dopamine levels are low, the brain seeks quick relief or stimulation, making impulsive habits feel almost automatic. Over time, these patterns can lead to guilt, relationship strain, and a feeling of being “out of control,” even when intentions are good.

The key is understanding that impulsivity in ADHD is not a character flaw—it’s a neurological response. With awareness, structure, and the right tools (like CBT-based strategies, mindfulness, and emotion regulation skills), impulsive habits can be slowed down, managed, and reshaped. Progress starts with compassion, not shame.

Learning how your ADHD brain works is the first step toward creating healthier habits and more intentional choices—one pause at a time.

🎥Movie Recommendation #1: The Godfather

While the Corleone family is built on strategy, Michael’s ascent to power is defined by a single, impulsive pivot. He was the "good son," the war hero who wanted nothing to do with the family business. But when his father was attacked, emotion overrode his entire life plan.

His decision to kill Sollozzo and McCluskey in that small Italian restaurant wasn't just a crime; it was a dramatic impulse that shattered his identity as a civilian. In one afternoon, he traded his future for a legacy of blood. He didn't just react. He crossed a threshold that made a return to his "old self" impossible.

Michael shows us that impulsivity isn't always loud or messy; sometimes, it is cold, quiet, and permanent.

Now, how do you rebuild trust once you’ve burned a bridge in the heat of the moment? 💥

Be honest. Is the drink what you enjoy, or the version of you it creates? 💬

04/01/2026

You just got paid.

There’s that familiar rush of excitement, relief, a sense that you finally deserve something.
Maybe a new bag. Or shoes. Just one thing.

You tell yourself you’re only going to look.

An hour later, you’re home with shopping bags in your hands and a quiet knot in your chest. The money is gone. And the credit card — the one you and your partner agreed was only for emergencies — was used too.

The excitement has faded now.
What’s left is the receipt… and the thought of the conversation waiting when they get home.

Impulsivity doesn’t always show up as chaos. Sometimes it shows up as a moment that felt good until it didn’t.

We built our impulsivity course for moments like this to help you slow the moment down before it costs you peace or connection.
