Why it’s not your fault—and how change is still possible
For many people, struggles with weight or eating are not just about food. They’re shaped by a complex mix of biology, emotions, habits, stress, and environment. If you’ve lived with obesity, binge eating, or repeated cycles of dieting and disappointment, you may feel frustrated, ashamed, or stuck.

You’re not alone. And you’re not broken.
At the Montreal Comprehensive Weight Management Program, we take a different approach—one that’s grounded in compassion, science, and the belief that people can heal, grow, and create sustainable change when given the right tools and support.
​🍽 What Is Binge Eating?

Binge eating involves:
  • Eating large amounts of food in a short time
  • Feeling a loss of control during the episode
  • Often followed by guilt, shame, or emotional distress
Unlike other eating disorders, binge eating is not typically followed by purging behaviors. It can affect people of all sizes and is more common than many realize.
Binge eating is not a failure of willpower.
It’s often a response to emotional pain, chronic stress, or harsh internal self-criticism. Many people who struggle with binge eating are also dealing with anxiety, depression, or trauma histories.
An unhealthy relationship with food and one's weight play a central role.

Treating obesity & binge eating
​​

⚖️ What Causes Obesity?

Obesity is influenced by:
  • Genetics and metabolism
  • Emotional and psychological factors
  • Environmental conditions (e.g., availability of ultra-processed food, chronic stress)
  • Dieting history and weight cycling
  • Social stigma and shame, which can increase emotional eating and avoidance of health care

​Our modern world is often described as “obesogenic”—it promotes weight gain through easy access to high-calorie foods, high stress, and low movement. Add in a culture of shame and unrealistic expectations, and it’s no wonder that so many people struggle.
