Binge Eating Recovery Story - Ronni

BINGE EATING RECOVERY STORY - RONNI
In this video I'm interviewing Ronni Robinson who struggled with compulsive eating for three decades before she managed to recover. We talk about the shame and secrecy around binge eating and how we become skillful at hiding our behaviour. She shares her experience of Overeaters Anonymous and how she came up with her own definition of abstinence that worked for her.

And her book Out of the Pantry is available on Amazon - www.amazon.co.uk/Out-Pantry-Disordered-Eating-Journey/dp/1735184802
My book, I Can't Stop Eating, is also available on Amazon.

I can so relate to Ronni and her story! I stopped going to OA years ago because of the no sugar, no white flour thing. I just couldn't let go of sugar and felt like a complete failure in OA. It never occurred to me that "take what you like and leave the rest" would apply to the food rule and the working of the steps too. Really opened my mind on OA. It was my black and white thinking. Food is not like alcohol or drugs where those can be totally stopped. Her early life story is similar too. I will follow her and look into her process as well. I don't want to stray too much from what I've begun to learn from you though Sarah. Information overload can be a problem for me. I need to keep it simple. Thanks for this fantastic recovery story. 🤟

I can relate totally to Ronni's story. While I didn't develop a full eating disorder, I had an odd relationship with food from about 7 years old. Same reasons as Ronni - loving but very strict parents, unable to share my feelings with them and get support. When I became adult I shared with my mother that I was lonely as a child, her response 'well, no-one liked you'' . The reality was that friends were not really welcome and play dates with other children were discouraged. I have never been able to grieve the loss of my parents as I feel 'walled off' from any feelings.

Could not do it either, but it was a good structure to begin with
