It probably seems that eating out only makes binge-eating episodes worse. In binge eating disorder treatment, we work on rethinking this perspective. Eating out can actually help you reshape your relationship with food. Binge episodes often occur when you’re alone and in secret, with food you won’t allow yourself to eat typically. Eating out at a restaurant can help you be more in tune with your hunger and fullness and take binge eating foods off of their pedestal. If you’re located in Logan, Utah, I have some recommendations to try.
Angie’s
I went to graduate school at Utah State University in Logan, and you want to know what I think about when I think about Angie’s? One of my professors told us that when his wife goes out of town he buys a cheesecake from Angies and has a slice every day while she’s gone so he has something to look forward to because he doesn’t have her there. Whatever meal you want to challenge yourself on, Angie’s has something. It’s located off of Main Street next to Smith’s in Logan. Breakfast can be a challenging meal for many people who struggle with binge eating. It’s the day's first meal after they may have binged the night before. If you’re starting the day out telling yourself you don’t deserve to eat or you shouldn’t eat to regain control, Unfortunately, you’re bound to start the binge cycle all over again if you continue to try and restrict. Breakfast at Angie’s may be a good option for you to try.
Morty’s Cafe
I love Morty’s Cafe. Morty’s is located close to campus next to the LDS Institute building. Morty’s is known for their delicious burgers, which is why I have chosen it for those struggling with disordered eating. Burgers and fries are typically at the top of the list of “bad” foods that people with eating disorders try to avoid. This avoidance leads to more cravings and often becomes a type of food only eaten in binge episodes. To make this type of food an equal playing ground as other foods, you’ve got to incorporate them into your diet. You will be surprised to find that when you give yourself unconditional permission to eat all the foods you want, like intuitive eating suggests, they stop holding you, hostage. I’m in favor that you give Morty’s a try for that reason.
Le Nonne
Le Nonne is an Italian restaurant located close to St. John’s Episcopal Church in Logan. Le Nonne is a whole vibe to elevate your eating experience. Often the women I work with struggle tremendously with sitting down to eat and enjoy a meal. Eating is not special to those who struggle with binge eating disorder. Binging often happens quickly and is not enjoyable for very long. One of the reasons I like Le Nonne is because eating is an experience. On Wednesdays and Fridays, there is live Jazz music to enjoy, which makes your meal that much more special. Le Nonne is a classy place, and I love that they have outside seating.
