Great video!❤

Why do all the eating related affirmations on YT seem to be somebody shouting over music that is the same volume as them and not relaxing at all. They annoy me to the point i just want to eat more😂

I just came across this video, trying to get a handle on emotional eating not binge eating but all of this advice I’m going to try.

I just cant today😢 i just hate my body, hate myself and hate my entire existence

I’m only 15 and so lost..

TRhank you! I am trying recovering from ED ana, but do not succeed with any "all in" or planned. I am trying a combination of "all in" and mindful eating. I found your channel looking for that. This video is a help for us who cant do some boxed package of "recover doing THIS" but need something in between and a lot of thinking to prevent extremes.

What a beautiful person you are on the inside and out ❤

You have such a lot of wisdom for a young girl. Thank you so much. ❤️❤️❤️

Is it okay for me to say “I’m gonna stop focusing on weight loss for now and heal from my ed than I can focus on exercising, watching my calories that way I can lose weight and have my dream body.” Because I can’t get over the dilemma of when I say to myself I’m not gonna focus on weight loss I eventually think that what’s the point in healing . If it’s okay to think about losing weight after recovery I will be extremely relieved.❤

Thank u ♥️🇪🇬

Do you think that people who have experienced trauma from abuse and chronic stress since early childhood and used bingeing as a way of coping with these experiences need dopaminergic medications in addition to therapy? thank you

amazing video , thank you 🤲🏾 do you think that medication can help for the second type of binge(dopamine) ?

How do you feel about Vyvanse and Mounjaro? Id love to hear about your thoughts on both in a video or podcast

I call myself disgusting sink pig and slap myself for doing it. I got osteoporosis for getting overweight before.

Thank you for making this. it was truly special and made me think about myself and life.

I love this video! I have started facing my binge eating and my body stuff after more than forty years of struggling. I love the concepts of intuitive eating. 'Body allowance' is a great way for me to keep getting fit for a tramp I want to do with my family in April next year. Thank you Sarah for your insightful, helpful material and sharing your personal experience.

I’d buy the audiobook on audible in Canada if it was available

Two months ago I started eating my fill three times a day without restrictions. No more eating at night, no more snacking between meals during the day...I felt free. This lasted about a month. Then one day two co-workers told me I had gained weight. I got on the scale and saw the extra ten pounds. I dropped everything and went back to my chaotic eating. I know it's stupid but the idea of gaining weight (me who is already overweight) is intolerable to me.

4/4

I feel guilty eating my lunch because people see a fat person not eating a salad and you feel the judgement

Becuase of your videos, I feel that my drive to eat has gone down a lot. However, now I can't stop patting myself on the back when I don't eat... I think, "oh what a good girl, you managed to skip a meal." And I still keep looking over my shoulder to see if I'm eating abnormally large amounts of food (which I still do, even though it seems a little better). It's the sheer judgement of "abnormally large quantity" that I think holds me back.

I've decided that you're truly amazing.

Your insight and guidance is invaluable! Thank you so much 🙂

Great video Sarah thank you ❤

So helpful. Thanks a lot ❤❤❤

After you've gotten a handle on binge eating, how do you then transition into healthy weight loss if one actually does have weight to lose?

Thank you for putting out all this content! I think listening to you more often will help!

People are idiots. Diet is about what you eat, not what you don't eat.

You say exactly what I have been needing to hear. I’ve learned so much from you and have been making progress. I can’t thank you enough!

I see it as an addiction. So do we think people who are addicted to smoking are traumatized and numbing out? I don't feel guilty about bingeing and am happy....

So good!

You express the thoughts that so many of us have so articulately. You have so much insight. Thank you for the work you do ❤

I’ve had little glimpses of “success” lately. I guess IE would call it “crystallization.” Making food choices and choices to listen to my body’s cues…because it actually feels good in the long run. All though compassion and permission to eat! Sometimes letting go of self-judgment…leaves my mind kind of empty…cause the critical voice is so often all that’s there. But it’s a nice break for something nicer to come in!

I'm SO glad to have found your channel, Sarah! Your videos are helping me change the way I deal with my emotional binge eating. One thing that has really worked for me, that you're talking about in this video, is allowing myself to eat. I've tried the advice of not having anything unhealthy in my home. When my cravings hit, I am out of control going through my kitchen cabinets to find something - anything - to stuff in my face. A while ago, I decided to try your method. I have chocolates, cookies, salty nuts, and chips stored (out of sight so that I'm not triggered when I open a cabinet looking for something else) and when those strong cravings hit, it's ok. I can have what I'm craving as long as I eat it slowly. Since I made this change, my cravings are fewer and weaker than ever before. Thank you! 🤗

Thank you for not making us feel - lazy, disgusting, weak, hopeless

I get so frustrated that I seem to fight with my brain, can’t we be on the same team?😂

You are soooo correct. I stumbled on this a month or so ago. I have trouble binging on chocolate in the evenings… so i began eating an appropriate amount in the mornings right after a healthy breakfast. It really seemed to help me. Thank you Sarah for all you do for us ❤

Your message about accepting our past actions is so helpful. You're right. Fighting with reality is a sure way to stay stuck in despair. I tried to eliminate the parts of my past self that i didn't like. The result was that i buried anger, shame, and grief further down into my pysche, which created deeper pain and suffering. Now i practice self compassion, and I've befriended the parts of myself that I labeled as bad and unworthy. I give myself love and respect instead of judgments and criticism. I feel more peaceful and alive now. Dr. Kristin Neff has some wonderful books on self compassion you might enjoy. She has a channel as well.

This is so helpful. I'm going to watch it again soon to help it sink in

Thank you so much for your content, I am recovering from binge eating and that's largely because of you. You are a blessing

Thank you so much for your efforts! ✌❤😁

It SO hard finding a middle ground between restricting and binging. It's one or the other for me. So black and white. I can't just intuitively eat, that makes me want to restrict. I can't let go of the want to lose weight. It seems impossible to accept who I am or give any kind of compassion to myself.

I wish you lived in my head steering me away from my chaotic and crazy behaviours. Your videos are so helpful and give such good advice. Thank you so much for your hard work on producing all your output.

🙌🏼 I need to listen to this daily 💞

Your videos have helped me so much. My eating has been so much better. Things you’ve said stay with me even when I’m not struggling. I’m able to see my progress. I don’t worry as much about what’s going to happen and I’m better able to relax around eating. Thank you so much. Who am I without the pain I inflicted on myself unknowingly.? This makes me sad to even say it. Now I can learn what a great person I am underneath all that pain. There really is a skinny girl waiting to get out and she is the most beautiful inside and outside. That makes me happy. Seems weird to believe in myself but I think I like it after I take a few deep breaths. Thanks again.

You are a gift. Thank you.

Anyone start a binge session while feeling calm and fine, no emotional disturbance? I get it when I binge when there is some emotional triggers. I can binge right after finishing some very calming mindful meditation and feeling still. This is while having no food restriction either. Does that indicate more compulsive/impulsive habits at play rather than emotional triggers?🤔

This makes so much sense. A few years ago, when my bingeing was really out of control, I joined a body builders gym run by a friend of mine. I was really overweight. She wrote me a diet plan. I did it for a year. Everytime I had a binge, she would say, that's not on your plan. It was a terrible time of my life, with single parenthood, caring responsibilities, stressful job and the menopause. That's how I coped and I can never eat sweet potato and kale ever again. I'm no l longer at that gym. I will never talk to someone about my bingeing again who doesn't have a clue. I felt so ashamed snd judged. Thank you.
