Emotional Eating, Guilt, and How Grieving Can Help

Have you been feeling tired? Not just the tired that prompts you to go to bed early or take a nap (although you likely have been feeling that too), but the bone-deep fatigue that makes you wonder how you’re going to get through your day? I’ve also been feeling that tired.

This coronavirus situation, the one that many thought was going to be over in a couple of weeks, is dragging out longer and longer, and in many ways the end doesn’t seem in sight. Returning to normal in San Diego and elsewhere isn’t even on the radar anymore—it’ll be a new normal, one that we don’t know what will look like.

Let's Talk About Binge Eating! Meet UCSD CHEAR Director Dr. Kerri Boutelle

Hi everyone! I’m so excited to discuss innovative approaches to binge eating treatment that’s happening right here in San Diego! I’ve interviewed Dr. Kerri Boutelle, licensed clinical psychologist and Professor of Pediatrics, Family Medicine and Public Health, and Psychiatry at University of California San Diego (UCSD). She is the founder and director of the Center for Healthy Eating and Activity Research (CHEAR), and is affiliated with Rady Children’s Hospital. Dr. Boutelle is also the senior supervising psychologist at the UCSD Eating Disorder and Treatment Program. I went to a training at CHEAR by Dr. Boutelle, and I was impressed with how dedicated she is to eating disorder research and treatment. I also really appreciated CHEAR’s focus on binge eating recovery.

***Trigger warning*** This blog post interview does include the terms weight loss, overweight, and obesity in the context of explaining CHEAR’s integrative binge eating and weight loss treatment program. I do believe that Dr. Boutelle does articulate how their approach is very different than “dieting” and absolutely does NOT advocate extreme behaviors that could trigger eating disorder symptoms.
