Binge Eating Breakthrough

Why I Pray During Races (and How it Relates to Food Struggles)

Jane Pilger Episode 139

What if the key to handling your most challenging moments with food isn't found in willpower or restriction, but in something completely unexpected?

In this episode of the Binge Eating Breakthrough podcast, I'm sharing a practice from my triathlon racing that transformed how I navigate discomfort - and how you can apply this same approach when you're struggling with food.

I'll tell you why I started asking for prayer requests before every race, how it got me through 105-degree heat to qualify for Kona, and most importantly - how this simple mindset shift can change everything about your relationship with food.

Whether you're spiritual or not, you'll discover practical tools for moving from "I can't handle this" to connection and strength.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Why shifting your focus beyond yourself is more powerful than willpower
  • Practical tools for handling binge urges without shame or restriction
  • How to change your energy from "I can't handle this" to gratitude and connection
  • What to do after a binge that actually helps
  • The simple question that transforms any challenging moment
