Unbinge: Binge Eating Recovery

I discovered this app through TikTok after seeing the creator’s videos. They were super inspiring and made me feel much less alone. I was disappointed when I learned the app had a pay wall as I was really feeling ready to get some help, but when I reached out to the developers, I was met with a kindness and understanding that truly astonished me and that I will never forget. This is a wonderful app with wonderful people behind it, and I cannot recommend it enough. It really does make things easier.

This app has good intentions. But are good intentions enough? It starts the intake session with platitudes and well-meaning exaggerations. For me, these were enough to prevent me from using the app. If platitudes and exaggerations help you get to the point you need, then this is the app for you. People who prefer directness and science based facts would probably not like this app very much. It would totally depend on what kind of person you are.

If you deal with binge eating, you know how invisible and automatic it can feel. Unbinge doesn’t magically fix everything, but it makes those moments visible. And once you can actually see what’s happening, you finally have a chance to change it.
