PLEASE WATCH UNTIL THE VERY END. Everything I talk about has a purpose and provides examples through my personal experience for the recovery tactics I mention.
In this video, I take you through my experience with a Binge Eating Disorder, what worked and didn't work for me during recovery, and ultimately what made me officially recover. At the beginning, I also define what a Binge Eating Disorder actually is, as well as how someone might come to have one.
The book that I talk about A LOT and highly recommend is:
Brain Over Binge by Kathryn Hansen
Binge eating recovery is going to be a PROCESS. There is no magic pill that will heal you from this. However, if you take the time to truly work on yourself from the inside out, I know FOR A FACT that you too can recover!
If you have any questions, please leave a comment or DM me on my instagram. I also post a lot about binge eating recovery on there, so if you'd like to have a look here it is:

And finally, if you'd like me to elaborate on anything or make more videos about recovery in general, PLEASE LET ME KNOW :) Your feedback is greatly appreciated!
***This is my FIRST video on CZcams, so please, bare with me on the edits xD. I now know for next time how to make improvements!***
Thank you for watching! ^ ^ Ciao!

Honestly, I have had a binge eating disorder for as long as I can remember. I recently went to Australia and gained more than 10 pounds in less than two weeks, instead of traveling I had days of just sitting in my hotel room or even in the park bingeing. I felt so disgusted by myself which only made things ten times worse!! I am now home and have been spiraling out of control on the regular. Its effecting everything, my work, my fitness, my weight. All I think of is food it consumes me. I feel weak and utterly useless. I know how strong I am, and I know that I can get over this. By watching videos like this and taking a deep breath and realizing I am not alone. Using the resources (especially described in this video!). I will recover, I will be the person I want to be. I realize now that Binge Eating is a real disorder and it is incredibly powerful, hard to overcome. But I will! I love myself and I believe in myself. (Sorry for the rant!! Had to get it out somewhere!!!).
Love! This rant is everything. What you said in the end...there is so much POWER in your words. I feel them so deeply. You WILL recover like you said. It is inevitable. This is your year!! I promise you 💖
Someday I will recover.. I have been struggling with this for almost 4 years and its the most difficult thing I've ever dealt with. Im going to buy the book Brain Over Binge because I've heard so much about it. Thanks for being so brave and posting this.
You are such a sweetheart, thank you for opening up to me. The struggle can be so hard sometimes. I know the feeling. But one day, you will recover too girl I promise you. Never give up on yourself
Binge eating disorder is so scary. I’ve gained 15 pounds in 2 weeks eating to a point where I was sick. My skin was stretching uncontrollably and I noticed a new stretch mark every day. My face was breaking out from eating junk and stress. None of my clothes would fit. I was anxious being around food. I would eat my coworkers food all the time. It’s a mental battle!
I came across this channel called the “snake diet” and started fasting. I’m finally healing myself mentally and physically by fasting. I also use other tips such as not eating in my car, eating slowly and meal prepping.
Thank you for this video. I struggled for a year and related to every little thing you said. You are beautiful inside and out!
Awe love! I'm glad to hear that you are feeling in a better place 🤗💖 I hope you continue to grow and heal from this!
Erika Bradbury thank you so much! 🥰
People need to educate themselves more on probiotics, candida albicans, and parasites. We as a world have been terribly wronged by the companies putting out so many harmful products that we eat. Those things destroy our gut health which plays a major role on our mental health and decision making. I have already started incorporating some of your teachings on loving myself. Out of self-hatred, all negative life situations are born. Love is the way out. Peace.
Love is always the way out, and generally us as human beings don't show our own selves enough of it. 💖 Thanks for your comment 🤗
13:19 when i try to resist binges, i shut the door of my room so i wont go to the kitchen. then i cry because the need to binge is so powerful and my body is so frustrated with me that i wont.
Ohhhh man I can relate to this so hard. It isn't going to be easy, but I PROMISE you will recover too 🤗
No offense, but if a shut door keeps you from binging, then you‘re NOT a Binger!
I even drive to the gas station at night to grab chocolate!
@@hypnoliebecoaching8296 hey love. Binge eating comes in many styles. What works for someone might not work for others. It sounds like both of your situations are very hard to endure, binge eating is so so difficult :( I want nothing but both of you to find your recovery!
I am exhausted. I want to change but I'm losing hope... I can't find the strength. It's a daily fight and I keep screwing myself over 😭
I'm soo tired of binge eating,
no idea what to do:-(
Just remember to stay positive! This is not your fault. It is just something difficult that you are going through, but you're going to recover. I promise!
I‘ve been a Binge Eater for 25 years! It‘s NOT just a phase! It‘s a severe disorder and I hate it!
I'm scared my binging will kill me, I started as a way to cope after my sons suicide and binging has been my biggest friend and support. I want to stop but I also love this friend.
Thank you for opening up about this! I've been battling with this for many years without ever consulting thinking it would "just go away"... it didn't ( obviously!)
I had to do something about it when after 2 years of trying for a baby I was told that my bad habit was stopping me from getting pregnant... I cried like I never cried before! I'm now in therapy and havent binge in over month! ❤ we will get through this!❤
Oh my goodness I am so happy to hear that! 😭💖 It sounds like you are getting the help that you needed! Best of luck with your future baby 🤗
I have no doubt you will find a way to recover and have a healthy pregnancy. As a woman who has also struggled with this ,if I may , these types of disorders can be passed on to our children.No one told me ! I unfortunately ,as many decades of therapy as I've had and as careful as I was , my daughter developed an eating disorder. As a mother I cannot tell you how devastating this is. Had I known this prior to having her I would've put myself back in therapy during key times that were triggering that I didn't even recognize were triggers for me. Not trying to be negative, just pass on information no one gave me. Had I known, so many changes to save her.....and me. This video is a great start!
Your testimony broke my heart. You're very brave for sharing this. Thank you so much! I'm at the start of a binge eating disorder and I can feel myself spiraling out of control and food becoming the center of everything. I feel like I'm balancing on a thin line, walking carefully from one meal to the next and trying to hold it all together. I exist in blocks of time from meal to meal. It's going to kill me because I'm trying so hard to get control of my type 2 diabetes, but I can't with this problem. You give me hope, though. I need to stop this now. I'm going to look into that book you recommended. And I have an appointment to see a psychologist this month.
This video has really helped me understand that I really am suffering and it’s valid and how my disorder developed. You’re very strong, I feel your pain. Thank you.
I have been struggling with this for some time now honesty. I didn't take this seriously intill now I hope you make more video's
I'm exactly in the same situation.
Thank you so much! I will, need to get a new laptop first! :)
I love your honesty in this! I can resonate so much with everything you've said, i feel so stuck in binge eating and have struggled with an eating disorder for years but your video gives me hope
I'm so so so happy to hear that! You're going to make it to your freedom soon, I can feel it!!!
Hell yeah, you she some light on my recovery, thank you!
I love hearing that! Thank you!
Keep it up Ka
Well done
Very inspirational 🖤
thank you for sharing your story and especially for sharing the solution for your problems as well. Most people only share their struggles but not their recovery process. Talking about your success gives me hope. Thank you!
Thank you so much love, that means a lot to me! Good luck with you're recovery, I'm POSITIVE you will make it to your freedom 💖
this was very helpful and i’m sure this was extremely difficult to open up about so thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
I'm so so glad you found it helpful love!
You’re so beautiful and strong I’m so happy to hear you actually overcame this. It gives me hope I recently started dealing with this for the past 6 months. So far I realized it’s mainly girls going through this but over then that I just bought audio version of brain over binge, Hopefully I overcome this!
Thank you so much ☺️ I'm so sorry you're going through this, I know just how hard it is. I truly hope you find your answers! I think that audio book will be great. The fact that you're being proactive about recovery means you're certainly going to find it, mark my words 💖
Your story made me bawl cause it's so close to where I am only I am overweight and have punished myself and thought things like that
Oh love, that's so sweet of you to comment. I'm so sorry you're struggling. I promise you will get there one day too 💖
Amazing video!
you are so unbelievably beautiful. such a brave thing to do to share your story Ka! you've really helped to shed light on this disorder. although, i have never suffered from this, i'm glad i'm now more aware of what BEDs are. thank you for sharing your story
I love you girl, thanks so much for watching 😭💖
Binging has caused me to gain so much weight I'm tired of the constant bullying guilt and self hatred i just want to stop i just want to be normal. Binging has caused me to be severely depressed and earlyer this year i was admitted into a psychiatric hospital for a suicide attempt i already have social anxiety ,generalized anxiety and panic attacks and honestly bingeing has made it sooooo much worse I'm currently only 14 and been struggling with my weight my whole life but only developed bed around 2-3 years ago i honestly hate myself so much and i just want this to end I'm soo done with it. I've never been "skinny" by any means this has made it so much worse i just wish to be normal i just want the bullying and self hatred the looks everything to just stop i want my mind to let me be normal I'm done with this cycle of restricting failing binging hatred why cant it just go away.
Thank you for sharing. It didn’t really seem real until you said it, like “serious” real. I think it’s because it’s so normalized in my system that it’s almost out of habit that I do it, because it’s easier not to think.
Oh girl I used to be in your position. It took me years until I realized what I had. You're going to get to your freedom love, I promise you 💖
Omg I’m currently going through the same thing I’m only a week off binging please pray for me
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I am struggling and it’s really difficult to find help. My mother is bulimic so I can’t talk to her, and no one else really understands.
Oh my goodness love that sounds so hard. I know what it's like to find it difficult to find help. I can't imagine though with your mom...just remember that you are important and you deserve your recovery. Never give up and keep believing in yourself. I promise you that you will find your freedom
Thank you so much for your video. You are so REAL. I love that. And much of what you said resonated with me. I have BED too, and it is such a daily struggle for me. What type of fitness challenge on Instagram did you do? I am always looking for ways to stop this mess and happy one of the ways you did was pretty normal and seems like having others to support me would help. Thanks again!
Yes exactly! Well the challenge is over and was associated with a fitness influencer on the gram. But there are many other challenges and programs (for example, I just finished the #gymshark66 challenge!). If you don't have a fitstagram yet, start one! You will instantly connect with people in the fitness community who are like you and me, just trying to become better happier versions of ourselves ☺️
I’ve been struggling with this since I was very little, I would eat almost anything I saw in the kitchen and I would eat it fast.
I'm so sorry to hear that. Never lose hope love, you will recover 💖
Binging, gaining weight, restrict, fail, cry, repeat :(
I know the pain and struggle love....but this will not be forever. Never give up on yourself. You're going to get there.
You are amazing! You spread positivity all around you! Not to mention how beautiful you are! Keep it up don't let yourself go down ever again, because you smile it priceless! I admire you, you are really strong! Take care ❤️
Thank you so much 😭💖
You deserve it!
Thank you for this video
Thank YOU for watching and taking the time to comment 💖
thank you for sharing your story:(
I love you Erika, you are so sweet and beautiful!! You are so strong! Very grateful for you sharing your story, I know many people will benefit from this video and also people will support you because you deserve it! I remember when I started following you and Instagram, you have grown so much in your journey!🧡
I commented this when the video was starting but... now this just really touched me: Finding fitness gave me a passion... I just did a video last week and same girl. I feel like fitness saved my life.
I'll keep watching
I love you girl! You were my first friend on Instagram and have been there for me so many times 😭💖 I am forever grateful for your friendship! Thank you for watching love 💖
Thank you so much !
Support you my friend good job
I am relapsing really bad I was doing ok for like a month now I'm binge and purging like crazy and I feel so bad
It's ok love, relapse is a part of recovery. Even I have done it! Try to be kind to yourself. Negativity will only make the binging worse. You deserve better than that 💖
Hey girl. I have been recovered for one year now, but you know what? Recently I had a really bad relapse of about 3 weeks. It was horrible. But I'm past it now, bc I didn't let it define me. Relapse is going to be a part of recovery, but it doesn't take away all the progress you made (even if you do get a lil bloated or gain weight from it). Weight gain is not failure at recovery. Just like a relapse isn't failure. Keep being strong love, you're going to get there 💖
Thank you so much for this video 🖤 also, what kind of probiotics do you take/ recommend?
The brand doesn't matter! I take a high strength one, so from 30-50 billion count
Your ciao it’s so cute ❤️❤️
Hehe 😁💖
HI, I was wondering I heard about Brain Over Binge from another youtuber and was wondering which one should I get because Kathryn Hansen made "Brain over Binge" and then also "Brain over Binge Recovery Guide". I was leaning toward getting the recovery guide one because it seems like it would be more about the recovery side than the telling of her personal story but I'm not sure. What do you think?
Hello! Sorry for the late reply. I didn't realize that there were two books. I just read the first one, I think the one that wasn't the recovery guide. But maybe the guide is better! Try reading reviews online :)
Go to 2:41 to skip all the "like and subscribe" stuff
Mercy Go even further because all the beginning is wasteful crap and she sounds like a real airhead it gets better if you go beyondTo about six minutes when she actually starts talking about the binge part
The concept in brain over binge about breaking the reward cycle in your brain by not allowing yourself to feed into this...I'm not sure how this isnt the same thing as just saying "just stop binging"
I know, I struggled with that part of the book as well
hi love, just found your channel and I absolutely love it💞 i post videos about my eating disorder too, hope we can support each other!
Also what probiotics did you take?
The brand doesn't matter, I was taking a high strength one which is 30+ billion count
-Read Brain over Binge, take high powered probiotics, and focus on being good to yourself and don’t be hard on yourself if you slip and talk to someone “. This will save you much time because there are various wastes of time during video doesn’t really get into it until about six minutes! Something about this seems very phony and disingenuous although I believe her struggle is real the way she comes across is kind of “look at me now“
I am just a human who went through something really hard, and knows that other people have a hard time with this same thing. I just want to do good. I just want to help. I am not a professional, I'm not trained, I am just someone who made an amateur CZcams video with the hope that even just one person could benefit somehow from hearing my story. If this came across as ingenuine to you, that's your interpretation and I can't change that. But thank you for the feedback. Perhaps next time I try to create something to help others with this, and there will be a next time, I will take in to account your perspective. Take care x
