Hey Mia! It’s been about a year since I did a recovery workshop with you and every time I return to the skills you gave me with dialogue I get stronger and learn more about myself. Thank you for the impact you’ve had on my and so many other lives 💛💛💛
I can’t tell you how happy this makes me!!! Someone can show you the tools, but you putting in the hard work deserves all the accolades. Keep going!
Absolutely the same. That mortifying feeling when someone asks you about it and you get that sinking feeling in your stomach... don't wish it on anyone. My case was even worse, I was also very poor and doing it, so I couldn't replace it afterwards. I would just pretend I didn't know what happened and that would eat me alive. Thank you SO MUCH for speaking on this. Much love
I remember the first time I heard Tabitha talk about stealing food and I was so relieved. I was able to understand the scarcity mindset, which was a part of my stealing. Thanks for sharing
I'm so sorry that you were abused. You deserved so much better. Thank you for sharing.
(Tw csa/abuse/implied trafficking/ed) Thank you for posting this video, it really made me feel better about my (currently in remission) behavior just like that. I have vivid memories of sneaking down during sleep overs at friends houses at the age of 7 or 8 and binging on sweet things, because my abuser at home told me i'd be less desirable if i was 'fat' or ate 'bad things' and i obeyed because depending on the day and his mood i wanted to please him, or i was terrified of his response. I struggled with stealing food for years, and even now when i'm in an ED relapse i still have to work around those thought patterns. Thank you for helping to break the stigma.
You described everything that I went through. Thank you for sharing and helping us understand ourselves better
Thank you for your excellent videos Mia. I have been battling depression and I am trying to make changes to help and hoping it will make eating normally much easier. I realized how important it it is to get adequate light exposure during the day, natural daylight, wearing sunglasses less and keeping the room nice and bright. I also purchased a crystal quartz lamp to help when I'm using my phone at night. The first week of doing this was extremely hard. My symptoms just exabberated but I'm slowly finding things more manageable. I hope you consider researching about sad (seasonal affective disorder) and healthy light exposure. Thanks :)
This genuinely made me cry.
I feel so seen right now. Thank you for all that you do, Mia. ❤
Thank you so much for this video. I cannot tell you how much this has shifted my self perception.
Oh my goodness. Thank you for speaking on this.
I still do this, regrettably. I always replace it, even if I just have one biscuit, Ill buy a whole packet as if its an apology. 🤦♀️ Its such a tough habit to break as they eat all the foods I avoid but want sooo badly! Working hard at it! Progress is being made, though slowly!
So glad you spoke of this! I'd bring food into house feel guilty then throw it out! Both wasteful and bad on the wallet! Thoughts of I was a pig food in house and I was not being restrictive and in control! Odd how the brain works with ED! Thankyou Regards Sydney OZ!
Oh boy, do I resonate with this - happy to have you here!
I really can’t believe that you can explain what I do! It’s like you are able to read my mail. I so wish to not do this but it happens.
I'm sorry to hear about your endo flare up! I've got a tens machine and it's changed my life!! It really takes the edge off of the pain and I can do things when I would usually be doubled over in bed. Defo worth a try xx
I did this for a good decade and at my worst, convinced my housemates (with my psychiatrist's blessing) to put padlocks on the pantry and fridge. Thise were some of the darkest days of my life. The other one i struggled with for a very long time was staying in Airbnbs. Thank you for speaking on this tricky topic ❤️
Ohh geez, I used to steal food from my relatives` house when they had me over and they went out without me. I felt soooo ashamed for raiding the stash of snacks that was for my cousin`s kids... I never replaced anything though, I just hoped they would think it was the kids...
Hi Mia, do you have any advice on dealing with extreme hunger, weight gain and the feeling of fullness when struggling to recover from binge/purging as well as restriction? I tried following a meal plan but didn’t find it satiating + it promoted restrictive thoughts and behaviours, so tried to respond to my extreme hunger but this triggered my bulimic thoughts and behaviours. It feels so impossible.
I did this too!! Never at stores, but at other ppls houses
I wish the amount of food I have stolen could "fit in a whole fridge and a cupboard". I think the amount of food I stole and shoplifted could feed a family of 5 for about a decade
I feel this so hard..... so I am two days in purge free in years but my stomach is killing me and my bathroom visits are painful.
Hi Mia, love your videos and your message but I feel like I didn’t understand part of this video that maybe your could clarify or elaborate on. You say we shouldn’t feel shame or guilt for stealing other’s food but it is wrong, isn’t it? I know we have an ED but it’s still stealing someone else’s property and we’re hurting someone that might trust us like a friend or roommate. Im just struggling with the thought I shouldn’t feel bad about taking someone else’s stuff just because I have an illness that they should be okay with. Sorry not trying to sound aggressive or attacking, but would genuinely love to hear your thoughts. I think that feeling guilt/shame for my actions that is affecting others IS the appropriate response and I shouldn’t excuse it away and think well I’m sick and this is okay/normal for me to do. Again, would love to just hear your thoughts, thank you!
I think it’s obvious that it’s wrong, which is why I mentioned apologising and replacing the food. We can hold two thoughts in our head at the same time. Knowing something is wrong and understanding why we do it.
@@WhatMiaDidNext I see, so perhaps let go of the shame attached but still try to make it up to the person we’re affecting. I still struggle with the guilt and shame and it’s hard not to feel like it’s justified most of the time. I’m still navigating. Thank you for responding and elaborating!
