Binge and Sprint
From Endless Cake to Recovery
Have you ever stood at the kitchen counter urgently devouring insane amounts of frozen, stale hot dog buns dipped alternatively in jelly and almond butter, while on high alert for approaching humans?
After a lifetime of getting knocked to the ground by the same opponent, a Dark Voice, and then rising repeatedly while praying for a way out, Naomi Joseph wrote the rules of "Binge and Sprint:" Use cake as fortitude to steel yourself to plow ahead, and then keep moving, keep achieving, and never ever let the world see your suffering.
Never idle, Joseph takes the reader on a four decade journey from childhood through college, marriage, buying a home, comparison, community, infertility, low self-worth, work, starting a business, keeping up with the Joneses, and caring for children and ailing parents, all while chained to her secret burden. Readers will understand their own darkness in the midst of "the good life" as the lid is blown off the shameful shroud of the taboo war with food.
Poignant and hilarious, Joseph's journey will help the reader claim their power, and lean into their greatness as they incorporate the many lessons that brought her to recovery into their own lives.
Naomi Joseph received a Masters of Science in Speech and Language Pathology from Teachers College, Columbia University and is currently in the thick of her 23 year career helping children with feeding and swallowing disorders. She is also currently at the top level of a health and wellness Network Marketing Company where she continues to grow her business, and help so many others grow theirs.
Naomi is overjoyed at being able to share her forty year binge eating journey, and coming out the other side living a healthier life, with whomever can benefit from her experience. Her goal is to touch as many souls as possible, and give them all the healing her story, examples, and advice can provide.
She has been married to her husband since 1992, sharing the bond of both being "the chubby kid" on their first date. They reside on Long Island with their three children.
