when i was restricting, i use to literally think about food all the time even tho i wasn’t hungry at all. i would look up recipes and restaurants without actually eating. i literally spent hours every day looking these things up
I've been there!! Counting calories and missing out on yummy food with friends and family. Intuitive Eating is really freeing ❤
Same, and when I started eating whatever I wanted whenever I wanted, all those thoughts went away :)
Same… constantly trying to decide what to eat for dinner when I haven’t even eaten lunch yet. It’s always trying to decide in advance what I want. The last couple of days nothing even sounds good and I end up just eating randomly thrown together stuff that’s in the fridge and honestly don’t even like it that much but tired of caring
I used to do this too!
@@danifestit please help me i wanna recover from my ed
Summary of the video:
1. You don't eat enough food for your body during the day (your body keeps thinking about something it needs).
2. You may be full but not satisfied or you are eating something you don't like (change flavour, texture or food- you may not know you dislike something)
3. You are labelling your food bad or good. Your reward system kicks in and you reach out to the "bad food" because you haven't had it in a while and now it's time to have it while you can.
4. You are using food as an emotional crutch as a way to avoid thinking about emotions or feelings. Learn to cope with your emotions differently.
5. Don't get fixated on food, but be excited about it.
I hope you find this comment helpful and you heal from whatever is hurting you ❣️
Thanks a lot!
Tqq
Thank you so much! Greatly appreciated ❤
Thank you you just saved 15 minutes of my life🙏🙏🙏
I almost feel lost because I don’t know what I like or feel like anymore
Same
Time to get experimenting! Eat mindfully and see what speaks to you. :D i found out I love spicy food in recovery for bulimia... Love it when my chicken wings punch me back LOL
i love that you make intuitive eating more practical and talk about using up what we have in our fridge etc. i hate wasting food and I dont have the money to just get whatever i feel like eating on a whim.
Intuitive eating encourages overeating which is also disordered eating. With everything in life, it is about balance and some foods just cannot be eaten as much as others.
@@supererikman5331it does not encourage overeating. It encourages stopping when you feel full. Hope this helps
@@user-zk5cn3mp6q which is wrong! For a person who struggles with overeating and binge eating which is cause of obesity in majority of cases, feeling full either never happens or the person has consumed way over their caloric requirement by the time they feel full. It is about portion control and gradual reduction of calorie consumption
@@user-zk5cn3mp6q also certain foods you should not eat more than others. You want to have more foods that satiate you :(fiber, high protein, fruits, veggies) and less refined sugars, processed carbs.
@@supererikman5331 I’ve struggled with binge eating disorder and intuitive eating has helped me a lot. I lost a lot of weight actually since I stopped overreating. I’m sorry it doesn’t work for you but it works for others and it’s worth a try, so you shouldn’t tell people not to try it! :) and telling people they shouldn’t eat certain foods can be triggering and cause even more binging. Making foods not off limits is what intuitive eating does. Once you start intuitive eating you usually start to crave other foods since you’ve allowed yourself to eat what you want without demonizing any of the food and making it feel special. I eat chips and candy but I also eat veggies and fruits. Intuitive eating is also about finding balance and what feels best for your body. Ik it might not work for everyone but I’m down 30 pounds so it definitely helped me stop binging and get healthier! Wishing you the best!
It starts at 2:52
omg thank you

I hate when I start to put the food in my mouth my brain just tell me eat and eat and eat never end and I feel like want to put all the food on my plate into my mouth in one time then when I finish my brain still told me 'hey go grab more food or what food can I eat next'. Sometimes I feel really full but my brain always think what I should eat or thinking about food.24 hour a day I just thinking about food like half of a day. I can't say no to food. I don't know why I feel like this everyday about 1 week. I'm in anorexia recovery I think I'm not anorexic anymore but maybe binge eating disorders because I can't control on my fullness and my hunger.
this is so relatable to me rn
Colleen, just discovered your wonderful channel. I just wanted to say that I think you are amazing, charismatic, and a real hoot! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Looking forward to the 5 day challenge!
thank you SO MUCH! Videos like these give me hope that Im gonna get better one day and be free from this crazy obsession/disease.
i hope you notice me here, now i have problem about guilty. when i eat unhealthy foods i keep feeling guilty and want to workout, but i dont have mood to exercise, so i feel so stress and doesnt wht what to do
Can't relate moreeee
i remember i use to eat in front of the computer tv or my phone, it gave me double dopamine and i became obssesed with the feeling. It was so comforting I always wanted to eat
I signed up for the challenge yesterday and i can't wait to be part of it. I really really wanna be free of all those food thoughts and to get the right weight for myself I am underweight and I wanna be healthy I am really really looking forward to it 😊😊 I really wanna be intuitive eater 😄
You got this! The saying intuitive eating is not very intuitive 🤣 is real, but starting the journey is amazing! It can feel so hard and scary at times, but finding food freedom and learning to trust ourselves with food again is so nice 😊you got this! Keep it up+
Hi Colleen, I really appreciate this video. I think I've improved a little as far as thinking about food all the time but I know I still need to work on it. I really struggle a lot with thinking of food as "good" or "bad." I know I also have a problem with looking to food, mainly sweets, to sooth emotions. This is really helpful. ❤
Just signed up for the challenge, so excited!!
This makes so much sense thank you!
8:38
food is not good or bad
SO TRUE
like a lot of things in life, we tend to judge everything.. put everything in boxes. but letting just be neutral?? life gets so much more chill when u do that
thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, so so important!! ♥ much love from germany
Good point 👍
Full v satisfied, yes that makes sense! Thank you! I need to make sure my meals are well rounded out
i learnt so much, thank you 😊
This was very informative! Thank you
So glad!
wauw this video is so helpfull!! So glad I found ur channel. thanku thanku ❤🙌💖
Thank you ❤️
thanks for this. !!
I can think about food 5 mins after eating a whole meal though. If I ate everytime I felt like it I would legit be 500 pounds.
i'm trying to start recovery (im doing intuitive eating for about a week now, but i'm still obsessed with food to the point that i feel overwhelmed, i hope i can calm down soon. ive been writing a diary on my feelings and thoughts when i eat instead of calories and macros, which i hope to eventually let go of as well as interacting with ED content.
That is definitely a good start! I know it can be hard, but give yourself grace and time. You'll get there! You may also want to consider finding a professional in your area that can help you on your recovery journey as well. Keep fighthing the good fight! You got this!❤
Great points about how to stop thinking about food
so true colleen.
Thank you.
wtf took a break from watching this video to check instagram but opened it to a post of one of your tiktoks hehe it’s a sign i have to keep watching you
You should do a video where you make intuitive meals using what you have. Like how you made your sandwich with the yogurt dip because it was about to expire.
Thank you 😊😊😊👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Can you change your set point? What if your set point is high or low enough that you have health problems at that weight?
Even when I do eat my food properally. I still think about food. I wanna what can I eat to loose weight? I eat my food properly and still think about food.
My brain feels like it is on overload after this video.... 🤯
Excellent video!
Agree!
reasons
1) you are not getting enough food
it is a hunger cue
physically full but not satisfied
you may not be eating that you like
2) you are deeming foods as “bad”
3) you are using it as an emotional crutch
thinking about food as a way to avoid thinking about your emotions
a coping mechanism
I’ve just gained 10lbs to fix a anaemia and now I’m miserable and I’ve always been on some sort of diet. I also have PTSD and from childhood abuse and have been heavier and now I’m not comfortable with that anymore. Any tips for trauma eaters? How to go through the process of people noticing your losing weight. It can send me into a tale spin.
hey! i have C-PTSD too. definitely recommend addressing the trauma. i cut my abusive family out of my life completely. no contact at all. it was sooo hard, but has been life changing for me.
You can absolutely get free from food obsession and overeating even if you are a trauma eater. I have worked with many women who had childhood abuse and other types of trauma who are now free from their food obsessions and addictions. I agree that first getting free from the trauma and all of the things that weigh heavy on you as a result of it is the key to ultimately feeling lighter and having total freedom from food.
I have a genuine fear of being too small because I feel like prey even though I have been assaulted at a weight heavier than I am right now…. When I was skinny I wasn’t assaulted. Doesn’t make sense but oh well mental illness isn’t logical.
I’m never satisfied and I wonder if it has something to do with my adhd because I’m always tired so my mind might think I need food for more energy
So i warn about my bad english lol i'm from Finland so yeahh, but, I struggle with many things what I really need help with so please read!
I am a 13 years old girl who loves to exercise, I love cardio the most so I run like 3/2 times a week because I have like 3 workout days in the week, so i basically run 2 times a week and do a little full body workout (witch 13 years olds can do) once a week. I go for many walks too everyday! And I really care about my health and I try my best to live a healthy lifestyle even I am just a young teenage but anyways. I stopped whit drinking sodas or drinks with any sugar in when I had really bad teeths so there were where I started to change what I eat and started a "healthy" diet. I drink a lot of water in the day and ofc milk and in the mornings a cup of ice coffe too! I eat like 4 times a day but I eat too some snack like a fruit or youghort maybe 2 hours before i eat the next meal. But it feels like I eat too little in the day but if i start eating more so then it feels like I'm eating too much. I think a lot of what i eat like if it is healthy or not and I plan what I should eat next, I try to stop it but it is really hard! It feels like i'm always hungry and maybe I am too cuz I eat too little in the day and work out really much. I think about food too all the time. I weight maybe like 40-43kg and I'm skinny so i should eat more ik (I try tomorrow start to eat the whole day more) And like I'm scared of losing weight but I don't want to eat junk food or candy eather. Ik the key is to strt eating more but how can I stop thinking about food and thinking about what i should eat next and if it's unhealthy or healthy))))):
Just do cardio if you’re trying to lose weight 2 miles a day . Every meal you need chicken/fish, half plate vegetables any type and a carb like potato or rice/pasta. You’re hungry because you lack nutrition stick to it everyday in the morning and get it out the way and drink water and 0 calorie drinks to replace juice
A lot of my issue is that I want to recover but even in recovery I cannot take my mind off of food noise and body image. I don't feel like I can give myself true food freedom until I tackle my insecurities. Any advice pls?
It's about obsessing about food but one of the first things you mention is what you're going to have for lunch and how excited you are about it haha
Is there going to be another challenge sometime?
How do I change my set point? It was 122 for yeaars. And then it changed! I lt was 102 and I stayed there eating intuitively and was comfortable. But then something happened and I am stuck at 122 again and I hate it.
Heyy, I just wanted to sign in to the challenge and it says my number is incorrect... Anyone knows why or how to fix this?
gosh dangit me realizing I am emotionally eating...
Got insulin resistance so yah need help tried every diet !
What do you do if you need to lose 20 pounds ( dexa scan shows 10% visceral fat !) not good ! So how do I intuitive eat and lose 20 pounds for health reasons ! I eat real food and I’ve tracked calories I get plenty of food I assure you !
Hello colleen and have you thought about live streaming on twitch twitch and starting your own discord account and starting your own tiktok account and starting your own patreon account in the future
Im listening while eating
I literally need to lose weight for health and I can't.... I'm very food obsessed
I enjoyed your zoom pep talk but please slow down.😮
I figured it out. It’s food addiction. You need to convince ur mind that food is not that amazing & stop thinking highly of it. Eating intuitively is about mindful eating. Only eat what is necessary for survival. This includes you fasting for the time needed, and being busy with other things and activities and hobbies, jobs and other things & eating healthy foods for your body that are nutritious. It’s about nutrition and vitamins! Your body does not need junk food to feel satisfied and no longer hungry.
You need nutrients for your body. Something good for you.
Nutrient based food with keep you satisfied & no longer hungry for many hours. It can’t just be calorie packed or dense. It needs to be healthy and fulfilling for your body. So pick healthy calories! Healthy carbs! Including the tasty stuff like pastas and bread! Veggie pasta, and wheat bread ;) got ya covered! Slather on peanut butter and u got extra protein!
Top it with banana! Good example for ya ;) maybe some spinach too!
Or tons of home made veggie tacos! Lots of veggies!
She gives a better explanation than i do. But these notes are for me too ❤
Basically find another way to fix your emotions! Find better stress relievers.
Keep food off your mind by gaining better control over your own life ❤
I conquered the majority of my binge eating disorder and it’s a process! I gained a lot of weight from snacking and eating too much and being too sedentary!!
Have some self control too.
It really was an emotional journey. It has been a ride!
I’m hoping to lose weight over time if i keep up my healthy habits! ❤wish me good luck.
My problem is not having anything to do because I don’t enjoy anything/I have no energy
I get the whole set point thing but if you know you need to lose visceral fat and your insulin resistant you cannot just keep eating
My brain was like: "I want curry, I want curry!"
I just want her shirt
But my mom wouldn’t let me get it :(
Skip to the three min mark to avoid her telling you that she’s thirsty and what she’s having for lunch…
I get bored then I eat food
