The smarter way to overcome binge eating.
Binge eating disorder is complex.
Binge eating disorder (BED) is a serious mental health condition characterized by recurrent episodes of consuming large quantities of food, often rapidly and to the point of discomfort. Signs of BED include a lack of control during eating episodes, eating when not physically hungry, eating in secret due to embarrassment, and distress about the binge eating behavior. The Relay program provides a strong support system of peers and digital tools to break free of the cycle of binge eating, leading 79% of users to see significant improvement in the first month alone.
Breaking free from addiction is so challenging because of the powerful grip it can have on both the mind and body. As you repeatedly engage in the behavior to cope with stressors in your life, habits become ingrained, creating a cycle that's hard to break. The Relay program can end this vicious cycle by helping you recognize the patterns that lead to acting out and connecting you with a peer support system to stay accountable.
The root cause of compulsive binge eating often lies in isolation. Feelings of loneliness, disconnection, or emotional emptiness can drive us to seek comfort in the familiarity of food. The Relay program address this isolation by matching you into a tight-knit small group of peers in recovery — people who understand your struggle, who won't judge, and who can help you stay strong in moments of temptation. You can stay anonymous, but still access the power of peer connection 24/7!
Yes, it's highly encouraged to share your struggles with someone. True healing often comes through connection, and in Relay, you can find support and understanding from your peers in recovery who are facing similar challenges. While sharing with family members or a therapist can also be helpful, opening up to your Relay group gives you a unique and supportive community of people who are in the same boat and won't judge. In Relay, you can also remain as anonymous as you'd like.
Binge eating disorder can lead to a range of negative effects, including physical health issues such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular problems. Additionally, it often takes a toll on mental health, contributing to feelings of guilt, shame, and a cycle of emotional distress. The Relay program is built to help you break free from this downward spiral!
If you find that your behavior is causing significant legal or financial consequences, leading to strong withdrawal symptoms with each attempt to abstain, or bringing you to skip work or hobbies to pursue the behavior, you should seek professional help in addition to the Relay program.
The secret to lasting change is connection.
Far too often, shame and stigma around binge eating prevent us from getting quality help. Relay was built to make it easier to find others in the same boat — so you can stop struggling alone.
Relay guides you through personalized reflections that delve into the urges and emotional factors contributing to your addiction, helping you understand and respond to triggers.
Relay helps you easily record and share your progress, challenges, and experiences. Our analytics can then pinpoint patterns and trends, helping you prevent relapses long before they occur.
