I don't even want the food... it makes me feel disgusting but I can't help it..
Same
i eat rlly quick and i just keep eating idk why even tho im full
Literally
Same it is so upsetting I can’t stop eating , I can even eat a a whole meal and still binge after , seriously starting to think I have no more hope ☹️🥺
Same :(
I either eat NOTHING or just eat EVERYTHING.
Same 😭 i either eat 1k cals and exercise excessively but then once a week my progress gets worse and goes away because i binge :( I just ate half a large pizza with a lot or ranch and a garlic knot, fruit bowl, avocado roll, two servings of vegan rice and curry...I hate myself so much
@@el-vj3yz well of course you binge if you are restricting🙄🙄
sister?
same😭😭
Yep. Same here. I tried even doing keto and carnivore and I still just overate.
I can't stop eating, I'm not hungry I just eat ANYTHING in the house 😭
u speaked my mind
Felt that-
Same🥺
Same this stuff is so bad cause I'm litterally eating while watching this video I just can't stop 😔
I eat till I’m in pain it’s been two weeks, I’ve gained ten pounds
I literally eat until I make myself sick. When school is done, the demons are so excited for me to get home and binge. I hate it so much.
MilkyWay2001 same girl:(;( it makes me feel so bad especially if I binge when I have school the next day which just happened and I try so hard but it just doesn’t happen
Try drinking green tea when you get home. Or have a small healthy snack and nothing else for about 10 minutes and most the time your body won’t feel that “hunger”. Also ik what your talking about the past few years until now I gained up to 10 pounds or more at the start of most school years
Me too 😔
This was so well put, I feel like this while I'm working I get so stressed and under-confident, so I have to eat while I'm working
Same here. And what’s really bad too is that every night I just think about food and how much I’m gonna eat tomorrow and it makes me feel happy. I don’t know how to break this bad cycle :(
The logic of my binge eating disorder: 'Fuck I ate one cookie, no I can eat the whole package as well'
That's like dropping one glass and breaking the others in my cupboard. Makes no sense.
Same
You can have more than 1 but you just stop when you're satisfied. If you HAVE to eat the whole thing maybe you have OCD
@@datatsushi2016 I don't have OCD I have an eating disorder. Back then it was BED now I slipped into bulimia.
I try hard to lose weight and eat less that's why I'm frustrated when I eat a little more than I planned. So I think: 'I messed up now I can binge and from tomorrow I'll continue my diet'
I can't simply eat one cookie, I either eat hardly anything oder everything in sight.
It's a mental illness and they aren't logical
fr tho it doesnt make sense but I cant control it I jsut cant explain it
same
I think these tips are easier said than done. People who binge eat know these things which is why guilt follows. I just think its a lot more difficult to change the habit.
Thankyou
If you wanna change, you gotta start somewhere. Keep your head up, love 🖤
Something I do to help myself is keeping busy. Going on a walk or working out, just forcing myself to get out of the house and away from food. That's why school or work is so helpful to me because it forces me to stay away from food for 8 hours. This way I eat 3 meals not more, not less. I should mention that I do intermittent fasting, so I tend to start at around 12 pm and stop at 6-7 pm. Doing this for a while and making it a habit you honestly lose appetite after or before that time slot. Another thing that helps is to promise myself I can eat something I crave in the moment the next day. So if I crave ice cream at 5 pm but I just ate a "normally" (to people who do feel full) fulfilling meal I keep in mind that I'll eat it the next day. Often times I forget about it the next day, and if not, I tend to really enjoy that ice cream because I waited for it. I hope these tips can help someone out there, you really aren't alone in this. It's comforting to read all of these comments saying they're going through what I'm going through. Take care to anyone who's reading this
Thanks for understanding
Yeah, man. I hate how a lot of people seem to be utterly incapable of understanding what you typed here. "Just do x, y and z and you'll be fine!"
Yeah... no.
It's hard when people tell you to just, "Stop allowing yourself to binge." Like yes, why didn't I think of that? 😑
Right... everyone is different. I wish we could just stop.
@Mind Juice Drinks oh my god is this self promotion? That’s kinda predatory
I actually did some meditation to stop binging and it worked for a while but some things happened in my life and I went back to using food to cope unfortunately
@@ew4316 i dont see how this is self promotion
@もりこ well what do you want them to say? Building discipline and self control are the only way you can stop binge eating
Yess. Sometimes. I’m not suffering from emotional problems. But some days, I already feel full but can’t stop eating. After savoury I need sweet after sweet I want savoury. & I feel super guilty after I realised how much I ate.
AmandaAmandaLee that could be a sign. The feeling of guilt especially. It’s good to be aware of it to make sure we keep a healthy relationship with food. My theory is if I’m gonna eat it - enjoy it and don’t feel guilty. Get back on track the next day
Same
I feel guilty that's why im forcing myself to vomit
@@freyaaafrey4466 no gurll dont 😕 trust me i wanted to do that but i realized that it is NOT the solution trust me there are several times i thought of doing the wrong things for my health just because i felt guilty but it really is not the answer. I want to have a heathy relationship with food so I don’t restrict myself from eating the chocolates and carbs uk comfort food i tell myself you ate that and it was so good
@@freyaaafrey4466 ik how hard it is to not feel guilty honestly what im doing rn is working out not to lose weight but i want to start loving working out for me to feel great after it i guess that helped too . You are gonna continue sometimes to feel the guilt which is understandable it’s hard to let go of it in an instant bit it gets better you have to start being kind to yourself i hope it helped a bit ❤️ goodluck gurl love uu❤️❤️
I either eat 800kcals or +2000. I've been trying to lose weight since my early teens (I'm 21 now) and no one understands how I can be so chubby considering how little I eat in front of them and I'm always dieting bla bla bla but yeah I lose control once a week and I ruin all my progress
Sol try to get rid of the ‚all or nothing‘ mentality
Hey, I know how you feel :) I'd always been a chubby kid but I started developing the same eating behaviour patterns when I was about 14. I'm 18 now and in a year I managed to lose 65 lbs healthily and I'm finally happy with my health. What helped me the most was to remind myself that I was in control. Also switching to a mainly plant based diet helped too. Practice self-love and know that you deserve to eat healthily and feel satieted. If you can, try to include a few "unhealthy" foods that you crave throughout the week to prevent the binge. I feel for you because I know exactly what you're going through but I highly recommend watching Pick up Limes's video on binge eating :) Wishing you all the best, love X
Literally same
Same 😭😭😭 I’m not overweight but I stay in the same place because I restrict majorly in the week and binge on the weekend and I can’t stop I hate it
EXACTLY. CAN WE PLEASE TALK I CANT RELATE TO ANY ONE AND IVE FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE 😭
”I was like eat everything today and stop everything from tomorrow”
yes i always say ill eat today but tomorrow i wont eat anything then it just keeps reapiting
Yes but then I end up binging agaij
For me, I don’t know why tomorrow never comes
When you're still binge eating while knowing that you're binge eating argh I really hate it
Did it get better because I really hate myself rn and I can’t stop
@@fatmatrabelsi6230 I did some research on how to avoid and prevent it but it doesn't apply to myself so I just let myself eat until satisfied (it was so hard though) my depression is growing too so I exercised and exercised and swore to not do it again. Maybe it's because I starved myself always. I'm still not okay though
im eating and im like IDONT WANT ANYMORE and then angrily grab something and eat it really quickly and then its gone and i need something else but i feel so full but i cant stop
@@daisyharries56 let yourself do that girl!!! You will get better❤️ get on track the next day, have some cheat days❤️ you'll be better, trust me!!! I know it's very hard and so so so difficult, I also had many binge eating episodes like literally a lot. You will be better the next day!!!
Always remember this quotes:
"Don't stop until your proud"
"Never let your fear decides your future"
"When you feel like quitting, think about why you started"
"Eat for the body you want not for the body you have"
"It takes 5 minutes to consume 500 calories, it takes 2 hours to burn them off"
"It's a slow process but quitting won't speed it up"
This really helped me a lot, hope it would work for you too.
I just eat until there is no more food
Same
Samee
I just realized that I have been binge eating my entire life. I always eat too much, I often go for second servings, even if the food is filling and has high calories. It’s almost like I’m never full and I just have no discipline or will power to stop eating.
run me over with your car me too!! I have always binge ate and now that I do it a lot I realized that ever since o was young I had been eating way more than I should have!! It’s crazy
I always thought I just had a habit of eating too much and it was normal, I’m starting to think it’s more :/
I eat a whole bag of chips then feel horrible and my stomach hurts
It's not like people who don't do what you do are more disciplined. They just don't crave it as much as you do. No discipline needed to prevent yourself from doing something you don't feel like doing in the first place. No need to beat yourself up over "not being disciplined enough".
Saaaame, I remember when I was like 5 I went out for pizza with a couple of friends and when their mum ordered she was so surprised that I was wanted to have a full pizza when everyone else would barely be able to get through half. It’s times like that when I find it difficult to not blame my parents...
i am watching this as i am binge eating.
Vanessa Ng same :(
Same
I’m watching it after
Grouper Ng dang, I feel that
STOP
I want to be one of the girls that eat like twice a day and that’s fine, but every time I try I just keep eating. I’m not even hungry, I’m just eating.
me too :(
I'm copy pasting my advice just in case this helps lmao. There is a book that explains really well why this happens. When you restrict, your animal brain will take control every time you eat more than normal or when you give yourself freedom to eat a bit more, this is because the animal brain knows its being starved and so when it sees there is an opportunity to eat, it will want to overeat so you have reserves for the future. So basically, its imposible to stop binge eating while restricting. The thing is, after you stop restricting, most people still overeat. This is because your animal brain does not understand is not being starved anymore and from past restriction you've taught it that overeating is crucial for survival. The brain does not learn easily and it's hard to erase this bad habit. What this book tries to show you is that when you get that feeling of losing control over food it is in fact the animal brain taking over your conscious self. One way of stopping this is strength of will. I know it's hard, I understand. But once you realise the thoughts that tell you to eat aren't yours and aren't rational, it will be easier to resisting temptation. You will fail, but the point is to slowly make progress. You will see that after resisting a couple of minutes the desire to eat will go away (unless you are hungry or restricting again). After a while, you will realise this thoughts will begin to fade. This happened to me, but I was dumb and said 'oh, as im not bingeing anymore I will start restricting again' It worked for a week, started bingeing again and know I will have to go through the whole process. I hope this helped you as it helped me on the past.
@@sofiachiuminato921 I starved myself for 6 month, now I can't stop eating :(
Yes fr. Like I cant not eat, it's sooo annoying
@@sofiachiuminato921 this makes so much sense but for me i know i need to stop like idk how to explain i am so fucking self aware but i still cannot stop i genuinely cannot i will tell myself to stop then i will eat fucking everything i truly cannot stop this is taking over my life the only thoughts i have is to lose weight i cant fucking stop im only 14 and im going to be a sophmore in 2 days and i want to look good for school but i physically cannot stop 🤕
I was binging an hour ago... I feel so bad like this I will seriously take your tips and try to change.
MIMOSA Tresscott same this got me to 224 pounds
@@parmidasafari2854 how much did you weigh before?
Scarlett H around 170 a year ago
Scarlett H 😢
@@parmidasafari2854 ohh I thought with these tips you lost weight and got to 224. Look on the bright side, at least you're not higher and if you implement some of these tips now, that can be your highest weight ever. From now on, it's just downhill from here (in a good way 🙂)
It never really fulfills me or makes me happy but once I mess up, I feel like I can't stop. I keep eating and eating. :( The diet mentality is so very harmful.
I just eat cause of a void. I was done of the diet mentality a long time ago. I know these tips already and it doesn't help at all.
It’s easier said than done.
I already know all this. It’s just hard to change when you seem to have nothing else to live for.
bobbyLBC yeah. Worst part is when you have no support system and you feel even more alone and lost because no one understands what you’re going through.

UnDeR tHe StArS oVeR ThE mOoN huggs I completely understand
i feel you. i eat to fill a void. there is nothing else to look forward to. i hope we both find something more in life, good luck
UnDeR tHe StArS oVeR ThE mOoN my motivation is just not wanting to look ugly tbh. Because let’s be honest, being fat isn’t attractive.
I've been binging for a few months now... I went from under eating everyday to binging everyday... My body feels so awful
i’m experiencing the same did this video help you at all?
Hey i would advice you to try increasing your daily calorie intake to a healthy amount. You said you were undereating and that is likely to be the reason that you started binging. Don't focus on weight loss, just try to focus on maintaing your weight and eating initiatively for a while. Then if you still think that you need to lose weight you can reduce your calorie intake by 300 calories or maybe increase your amount of daily activity. Don't diet and don't restrict a certin type of food group or food item as that can trigger the binge eating. Hope this helps🙂
Its extreamely difficult to control BED especially if youre prone to dissociating wilst binging
Yes! I have borderline personality disorder and I dissociate completely just before and during a binge. It's hard because I got into auto pilot mode and I'm no longer in the moment. It's the battle of a lifetime...
Truth. I spend so much time on self talk to keep myself motivated then just 5 seconds to turn it off and turn on myself. Then I can't stop, nothing matters. It doesn't fill the void.
Something that I did that really helped me with my BED was force myself to make eating an activity. As in if I was eating, that would be all I was doing. No watching anything, no reading anything, and if I could not even talking to someone during eating. I would sit down at the table and just focus on eating. If i had an urge to binge I wouldn’t stop myself from bingeing but I would make sure to follow those steps and make it all I was doing. It was really hard at first but it really helped because it’s really hard to over eat when all you’re doing is eating on a table with nothing else around you- makes it super boring and then you just stop because you want to do something else!
Hey how are u doing now its been 4 years are u still struggling
This should be titled “what is binge eating” there’s really not many tips
i literally went from not eating anything at all to constantly eating, even when i’m not hungry :(
Same 😭😭
same
Same but gonna stop lmfao
The high from sugar and salt.....its so addicting
Some studies show sugar could be almost as addictive as cocaine.
i don’t know how to stop. literally. it’s getting worse and worse
@@paigemccorry8626 yes😭😭😭😭
Hello. SO.... *I know you mean well* , however... the word "binge eating" is being overused. Binging is not just eating a large dinner meal or eating too much junk instead of healthy food.
*see* what this video doesn't seem to understand, is that binge eating disorder - is a *disorder* .. It is mental. It is just as serious as anorexia and bulimia. This video is the same as saying to an anorexic "just eat - this is how you start eating again. just start." ... dumb right? Well... *SORRY i am not trying to offend YOU personally, but so so so many people like the mindset you are in, are these skinny girls, feeling bad abut eating ice cream at dinner - and seeing that is a binge. SURE it is not healthy, it is a bad habit - but it is NOT the "binge eating disorder". :) That disorder has nothing to do with just pure willpower and changing up habits.
*It is about huge emotional issues, self hatred, trauma, loneliness, anxiety, physical illness and the emotional response to that, and so many other DEPP rooted issues* .... Stop overusing the word Binging. Just say "here is how to eat healthy and smaller portions" or something.... The disorder is being hugely misunderstood bc of videos like this.
I hope you can see what I mean. No personal hate here.
peace.
Thank you! You said exactly what I was thinking
ty for sayin it for us
Thank you, this is so accurate
You would think a pharmacist should know not to give advise on AN EATING DISORDER
I agree with all execpt with the part "skinny girls like you" Just bcs someone is skinny doesnt mean they dont have it. Im skinny bcs my body is fast with processing food. Still I have a Binge Eat Disorder I just get called "lucky" bcs im not growing and can eat so much. But its so tiring always hear that bcs I still feel guilty for eating so much
My last binge eating was 2 months ago. I only feel good when I eat healthy like salads, salmon, fruit, and nuts. All the foods she said. Another tip: don’t buy junk food, you’re tricking yourself.
I never buy foods that I know that I can eat a lot of. I don't buy sweets, meats, cheese, dairy, BREAD. Bread is my weakness, so I don't buy it.
@@michellen2325 do you still binge? If you don’t now, how did you do it?
Minute 4:40 is what all u have been waiting for ;)
Thank uuuuuuuuuuuu
doing gods work
THANK YOU!!
Thank you
Thanks
Your arms are so thin and I'm jealous and ashamed of my binging
And her waist
It’s important to try not to compare your body to others. You probably knew this already but it’s just a reminder ❤️
Renee Bernard Thank you for being you and reminding people - you’re doing good 💕
I thought it was just me, but I was thinking the same. She’s so thin and beautiful it made me feel worse and gross for having this binge eating issue and so shameful.
ur so gorgiss
reading the comments is honestly comforting to me. i’ve been binge eating for 2 years and it tears me up inside and honestly feel so alone in this. but just knowing that i’m not the only one struggling with this wierdly makes me feel better. i can’t talk to anyone else i know irl about my problem because i don’t “look like” i binge eat and they won’t believe me and i feel like no one would understand anyway. i’m just so scared that as i continue to go through school and life the binge eating will get worse because the stress will increase and i’ll have to deal with this for the rest of my life. i have no other coping mechanism for the emotional pain, nothing else works.
The first step in stopping any addiction is to recognize it and talk about it, so get over the guilt or shame and talk with your family and friends about it. Ask for help, talk with a psychologist about it. Even if you lose about 5% of your body weight, you feel much better. Good luck. Love and peace.
i just want to cry rn i understand how u feel
So I’ve lost almost 50lbs in the past year and I have been working so hard for it.. I finally had the body I wanted, I was so happy in my skin but then suddenly 3 weeks ago I had my first binge.. my grandma came to visit and she used to have her own bakery, so her sweets are amazing. i ate an entire cake, and then I just couldn’t stop eating.. I moved on to bread and Nutella, croissants, then somehow I ended up on sandwiches... and I didn’t worry about it too much because I just told myself “it’s your first cheat day, you’ll get back on track tomorrow”. But I couldn’t. Next day was the same. Woke up, ate a whole loaf of bread with 3 different toppings, ate croissants, ate chocolate.. ate everything I craved. And I haven’t been able to stop. It’s been 3 weeks since my first binge, and I do it again every day. I can’t stop myself. I’ve gained back what took me 5months to do, and I really just don’t want stop and stay at this weight. Please, anyone, just help me...
update pls
Girl I'm in the same boat. I starved myself and worked out for almost 2 hours a day to loose 40 pounds and I've gained back 10 and still have 40 more to go. I feel so helpless and just don't care anymore. Mabey I'm meant to just be obese or something.
Start listening to UA-cam videos of the three most amazing doctors that will inevitably help you: Dr. Ekberg, Dr. Berg and Dr. Jason Fung. I have lost 24 kilos (it's unfortunate that the holidays were in between, because the most weight I was down was 30 kilos) already thanks to them, and I'm currently doing my 2nd day of water fast. The longest I've gone without eating is 16 days. WITHOUT FEELING PHYSICALLY HUNGRY. AT. ALL. If you really want to turn your life around, you'll listen and try. Trust me, I've tested what they preach, and it really, truly WORKS. I swear.
Je suis dans le même cas que toi.... désolée de ne pas t’être utile mais saches que quelqu’un en France te comprend.
@@nepozabime ur crazy gtfo with your water fast. I wanna learn how to eat in moderation, not lose weight by doing a fad diet. It's a lifestyle
Just ate 3500 cal in one hour😭
Been there :(
nikole b woah that wow.
i ate 1200 right now feel like im going to die
me too. do u purge?
@@olive-gy2rt sadly yes
Fuck your life.
Binge eating is something I will never wish on someone it makes me feel like I’m crazy I old enough to control my eating but I can’t😞
Just be kind to yourself and don't give up. 💕If it keeps getting worse i would advice you to seek professional help or talk to someone about it if possible.
@@SB-gb7bt Thanks so much Ive gotta better with how much I binge most of the time a just over eat throughout the day I still feel not in control but I’m trying
The triggering part is when im on a diet( it isnt even strict ) my mindset goes " why am i on a diet??? im not fat " and then i go and eat everythingn i crave just for me to feel guilty and be mad that i thought ab that
I have a binge eating disorder myself and I hear everywhere eat foods that make you full and the thing is I dont feel the feeling of full I just constantly eat with out feeling full I dont know how to stop it
Avaree McHaffie Keto diet really helped me control my binge eating disorder. (High protein low carb)
Dara F it helped me with my appetite as well but when I’m feeling down emotionally I usually sabotage myself and dive off the deep end.
I'm constantly looking up foods online that will make me feel fuller but I don't even feel full anymore...I overeat at every meal and I'm always hungry/thinking about food
The thing with me is that I continue eating way after I'm full, so saying that isn't easy because no matter what I'll eat
i learned that there is no full and even if there is that it's not good to feel full. eating shouldn't be painful. i get to a point where i don't feel pain in my stomach and stop there. i call it satiety.
Thank you for these tips! I've struggled with binge eating for almost 8 years and Im still trying to overcome it. I recently started reading a book which is free on amazon called "never binge again" and I would like to share cause its been helping me a bit :)
Na ahh.. your feedback means the world to me since you’ve actually experienced it. I will add that book to the description box :)
I’ve struggled with binge eating for 12 years 😪 also still trying to overcome it
I've struggled with binge eating since childhood so it's a deeply ingrained habit for me. Thank you Dr Mona, just what I needed x
Na also read the book “intuitive eating” by Elyse Resch
this is literally me. I try so hard not to binge and I end up crying while I’m binging. TW! I ended up on pro ana forums and pro ana Instagram accounts for “motivation” but all that did was make me feel worse about binging. I binge til my heart hurts. I binge til i can’t move and it sucks because all I ever wanted was to be skinny
do it for your health, you could die very young. You might need to see a pshychologist ..... Imagine what you can do if you lose those extra pounds!! The sky is the limit for you.
The thing is I’m also active on many ed sites but it doesn’t really help. I eat when I’m sad, I eat when I’m happy, I eat when I’m jealous of skinny people… It will make you feel worse. Use those spaces to find like-minded people who can understand you, not to “trigger” yourself. Going to see a dietitian really helped me when I was obese, now I’m at a healthy weight. Dietitians help you change your daily routine and make plans specific for you. I know this comment is over a year old but someone might find this helpful! Don’t forget to take good care of yourself and have a good day :)
I used to have a binge eating disorder. It went away once I started eating low carb. Low carb lifestyle does something to the addiction center in your brain. It changed my life. Finally got to a healthy weight. The minute I begin eating carbs again for a few days.... the addiction center gears up again and I start feeling like binging again. Go low carb!
This is so true and the same is true for processed foods.
The same thing happened to me. I was on Keto and when I came off, it triggered all my binge symptoms like crazy and now I’m back to sq 1 again. I now need to go back to Keto I think. It was the o my thing that really kept me in check and maintained my cravings and energy levels. I enjoyed food again and never felt guilty.
@@Dara-dp9mk Definitely go low carb again. Your body will thank you. You don't have to do it strictly. Make sure every meal is low carb but if someone at the office brings cookies or donuts... you don't have to deny yourself it. Just eat 1 or 2 cookies and then get right back on track. When you do not deny yourself, you will be less compelled to give up or binge.
meowismeify yes I always allowed myself dark chocolate every night to be honest because I loved it, I never went over board either. I am not over weight at all, I just went onto Keto for my epilepsy actually but it really helped me control my binge disorder without even noticing...I think I also need to figure out what my triggers are as this is hard for me too...I just seem to do it so habitually and as if my body is working for me. I did the ‘lazy Keto’ I think it’s called and I felt good within myself. :)
Wasn’t sure if I shld go vegan or low carb
Someone please make me throw up everything I just ate.
don't think you explained binge eating properly... it has nothing to do with "not feeling full". It is a mental illness and a coping mechanism when you can't control your feelings/want to harm yourself etc
Totally agree. Binge Eating Disorder is a mental illness and has mostly psychological causes. When I suffered form Binge Eating I felt full but I didn't stop eating. I was eating until I couldn't eat more physically. Once I cured my emotional pain I could stop binge eating for good.
Good point, my sister told me that my mom was trying to cut back on her alcohol intake and, feeling guilty when she went out to get some, she told her "I just feel like I NEED it!!!" That was my mom's addiction and she won't be able to control it by just trying different tactics ever. She needs to get her emotional needs under control. I have similar issues with binge eating. I know what I should be doing but, before I know it, I've gone through another week of restriction followed by bingeing. Restriction makes me feel happy and successful, ready to achieve my goals. Then I fail and feel like a big loser and desperate to figure out what the hell is wrong with me!
And it’s kind of pretentious for her to be discussing this topic while in a small half shirt.
It is a form of self harm. IT makes you feel better for a time and then recriminations follow.
I’m so glad you talked about this! I’ve been struggling with binge eating for a very long time and I’ve noticed there’s a lot of erasure of this issue, especially on social platforms. I know so many people, doctors even, who don’t think binge eating is real and sum things up to simple overeating, especially when there is such a dramatic difference between the two. I’ve went crazy trying to explain my disorder to people and having people tell me that it’s all in my head and that I’m just being dramatic. Thanks again!
Thank you so much! This is one of the most helpful binge eating related videos I've seen on UA-cam. Love the information you share with your audience!
I’m really thin, but I still have binge eating disorder. When I come home from school, I sit on my bed and eat 4 whole bags of chips. I feel so disgusting afterwards, but I feel like I’ve lost control at this point. There’s no end.
remeber you are in control fuck the food ! focus on your hunger if your full try stopping but just remeber you are in control !
Litterally
@@jas7478 its so hard to stop tho. Like its impossible
@@kxrs6658 :(
Same I'm thin but it caught up to me a bit ...
This is a really important and unique topic. Congratulations on 300K!
the hardest part of binge eating is getting back up again knowing how much weight you gained and getting through a hard day as usual. like life is already tough enough, but going through it with extra weight and feeling bad about yourself makes it even harder
Thanks for this video. I was doing so well eating healthy and working out and then during the basketball finals i fell into bad binge eating. Its been going on for the last 2 weeks. Thank God I've only gained a pound but still I'm struggling with getting back on track. Once again thanks for the video. You seem like a down to earth real person. Peace.
can u make a video on vitamins ? like if there’s any that you should never take at the same time ? and health facts and stuff like that. and vitamins that everyone should add into their daily routine ?? i’m really curious :)
Diet Mentality is a super eye opening insight. That's my biggest trigger. Thank you for bringing this knowledge to me
I made the connection that being neglected in my childhood and only having food as a comfort habit is why I’ve grown to have a really bad relationship with food as an adult. It’s really good to consider the past and see when it started and what was taking place when it did. It’s hard but knowing the why is so so crucial. Thank you so much for this video! As a recovering binge eater I learned a ton from this video!
I was not neglected at all, had a good family, parents were married until they died; my mother was a very good cook, she was also frugal. Nobody ate in excess. So, I can't blame anyone for being fat. Part of it is my fault, but part of it is my thyroid, it's hormonal, I am for sure insulin resistant. From the comments I'm reading here, people have real problem with food. I am aware that TOO MUCH FOOD CAN KILL ME, so I am eating very, very healthy, I eat whole foods plant based only, but I am still fat. Intermittent fasting is really efficient, if you can do it. My problem is that I can't exercise or swim like before, so I don't burn any calories.
Thank you so much for clarifying this for me. I was alone every time I binged and I didn't realize it. I also didn't realize my problem was more of the diet mentality of everything I couldn't have all day long. Then trying to cram it all in at night before I went to bed. I think now I can be more conscience of what I can eat and why am I eating it during the day. Selections based on positive thoughts of food choices. Will give it a go.
"if i'm gonna eat it I better enjoy it" I love that lol thank you for these tips!!
Guys, you can overcome it. ♥️ I'm on the other side of it and it's been amazing. Don't give up! It's worth it!!
I just want to tell you I just started watching your videos last week and can’t stop..so informative and life changing! Thank you for taking the time to gift us you knowledge!
Carla Espinel aww thank you so much Carla!☺️❤️
Thank you for this video! I’m going through a tough period of binge eating in fact.😱 So I literally try to treat myself and check videos and articles like this. What I was impressed by you the most is that I’d better to think of every single food how it works on my diet well. I learned my lesson!
I have a HORRIBLE binge eating issue always have and today I’m just done I can’t do this anymore I had a time of success with intermittent fasting and it was helpful but now I’m right back to binge eating. Eating at night is my weak point. Pray for me guys.
Prayin for you
@@Ro-wc1ug thank you 🙏🏼 it’s a struggle but everyday is a new chance
you have no idea how much i needed to hear these words, i am only 16 yet i have struggled with a binge eating disorder for as long as i can remember, you’re like the big sister i never had ♡´･ᴗ･`♡
Yo bro don't you ever give up. Let's fight our binging side by side. I know we can and will do it. 🖐
Great to hear another professional's take on binge eating. I like the way you covered the diet mindset!
Thank you for making this video! I just recently found your channel, you explain things so well and have great video topics. 💞 I've recently begun a health journey after at last getting help for long term issues with depression, anxiety and a hormonal imbalance (not PCOS, but due to higher testosterone I have similar symptoms). I'm trying to be more nutrition and health concious & videos like these help a lot 👍
BRILLIANT video! Perfectly pitched and so informative xx
“You feel stressed or anxious unless you eat”. This represents me so well, I feel like in my life I’m always in control but I cant do that with food. I binge eat almost only sweets and chips, things my mom continuosly buys, and when I start I cant stop because I can stop feeling guilty for a bit just by eating more. I am still the ideal weight, but I hate not feeling in control of myself...
My eating disorder has gotten so bad I’ve gotten to the point where I would only eat dinner, maybe breakfast. But I soon as I start eating I can’t stop. Most of the time, I’m not even hungry. I just keep stuffing my face because of my emotions, or for no reason at all. I hate it so much. I want it to stop.
I can’t thank you enough for making this video. It came at the right time and I needed to hear this. Thanks!!!!
You are beautiful, God sees you, be healthy, be happy
This was literally me today for the first time in a while. Thank you for the advice!
Lei Knefe 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️ so glad you watched the video
like i dont even care abt the food it just makes me feel better so i keep eating
I just started a weight loss UA-cam channel and hit a rough patch. The diet mentality thing really hit with me I’ve been trying to lose weight forever and I’ve never once thought that I’ll be eating like this for the long run it’s always like I’ll do this until I get where I want to be. I had no idea I may have a mental issue when it come to food until I saw this. Thank you so so much for the quality information.
Binge eating is my way of avoiding homework and feeling better. This year school got more difficult and since we’re online I always have access to food so instead of working I go “a snack sounds nice” and eat a boatload of packaged snacks. New Years made me want to change and now I cook my food, I don’t buy snacks, and I’m trying to eat less. I just want to fix my relationship with food before anything else but I’m always thinking about eating even when I’m not hungry. I want to be able to cope with life without eating every snack in sight.
Thank you for this video and I love that you mentioned how we should focusing on the mindful eating. I’ll definitely give that a try! 😊
Beth you’re welcome xoxo
The thing is that I always feel hungry, I don't feel I'm full and go on. I feel hungry ( or anxious) empty and can't feel calm until I eat a lot of carbs
@Mind Juice Drinks yeah but you know when you feel depressed and somebody tells you "have you tried smiling?" it is, isn't it?? stupid and tone-deaf...
@Mind Juice Drinks wow. so deep, so woke.
I listened to 3 different videos about this topic from 3 different specialist and only this video makes complete sense and is relateable. I really enjoyed the points made in the video especially relating to the inadequacy we can feel when comparing our selves to the body goals of social meida. I feel so like I'm not ever going to be the ideal and constantly couting calories and it fustrates me to the point where I break out and binge then go back on a diet the next day. Its an exhausting cycle. Thank you so much for this video. I really appreciate this video and its content! Love you work xxx
My mind is so negative from thinking I should always be on a diet!!! I’m definitely changing my mindset and taking your advice!!
Thank you these tips! ❤️ Definitely need to practice mindful eating more. I am such a fast eater and that really plays into my binge eating and not recognizing when I am full. Do you have any tips for regaining hunger cues? I can only really tell when I am really really hungry and the rest of the time I end up eating and then binging anyway, even though I wasn’t really hungry
I just started watching and so many reasons of binge are exacly what I have. I mean: restricting, social pressure and that I don't even like myself and have quite a lot of stress in my life.
I have been a binge eater since my teens and Im now 62
Thank you! You're really nice and really understanding!! I feel like this really hit home, and is very relatable. Since the first half is so relatable now I'm going to try and pull a reverse course and hopefully start living like the second half of the video!!
I didn't know i was binge eating until I told a psychologist. I thought it was impossible for me to have an eating disorder because even when I am sick I still eat. There is no such thing as losing my appetite. Turns out I have been binge eating for 18 years.
I’m 15 and I have always been an emotional eater. But for the past three years(I started dieting), I’ve been binging. So much so I feel like my insides are going to tear. It hurts, but I just can’t stop. I eat and eat and eat. I can’t seem to get it under control
It's like my hands and mouth is not in control. Like, I scream at my body to stop, but I can't. I just keep eating. Then I'm dizzy and full. And angry at myself. Let's fight our binging side by side. I know we can and will do it.
This video pop up on my UA-cam recommendations and I took it as a sign. I will follow all of your tips❤️ I believe in myself and everyone else trying their hardest 💓
what’s bad is that for me it gets triggered by stress and i can’t really release any of my stress and pressure so i binge eat. i’m also a recovering smoker from nicotine & i used to do that to take place of binge eating.
i found that chewing gum when you feel the urge to binge eat works & exercising constantly, running 6-7 miles. at least if i wanna binge eat, i desire to choose a healthier snack to have instead of a bunch of carbs and other foods since my body is craving healthy food due to working out.
my recommendation if you must eat and can’t fight the urge, try to choose a small snack that is healthy. if it doesn’t seem appealing, then don’t eat.
give yourself the option of eating the healthier food or not eating only.. and you’ll actually see that you are eating bc you are bored, stressed, or just emotionally struggling.
for me i try not to eat that much throughout the day because i get hungrier at night. i try to eat light healthy snacks and then 1 meal that’s filling & run my 6-8 miles.
G'day from Australia 🇦🇺
I became a binge eater when l heard on a current affair segment on TV about people who get more food for their money by stockpiling a lot of half price stuff. Now l have 2 pantries full of food and 1 pantry full of juice and soft drink , and l have bags of food under my kitchen table. Then Covid -19 came about and it got worse as l started making homemade meals with flour, milk and eggs, like making omelettes and pancakes. I spend $600 a month on groceries. And about $100 on ordering take away over the phone and have it delivered to my home.
Damn
I don’t know how to stop myself from eating sometimes it’s like I’m always wanting something to eat even after having a full and good meal
Scary how relatable. This video really helped me in my pregnancy. Just wanted to say thank you so much!
I relate to to this comment section so much. Almost as much as I overate today yesterday and the day before that.
Problem with me isn't what,its how much (like once I start I litteraly can't stop, even if I feel like throwing up) and when(mostly around midnight)
This video was actually so helpful! Thank you for sharing!!! Just subbbed
This is one of your best videos. It was so useful for me. I tend to turn to cakes and sweets if I’m in a terrible mood - not sure which category that fits into but I always regret it and will now try to be more “mindful”!!
I love this, thank you so much Dr. Mona!! I have a really hard time with binging and then feeling like such an awful person after, it good to keep these tips in mind! Thank you for all you do! 🤗💕
Eating my life away as watching this and I’m still not full ):
I tried being on calorie deficit, at first the results motivated me, however, I became a little too obsessed with the amount of calories that I consumed and burned throughout the day. I've had some days of binging since I started, definitely not cool, I didn't have ANY control even though I tried to stop. I've made the decision to stop counting calories because even though I thought it was okay, I was restricting myself unconsciously, and that resulted in binging. The thing is that I've only been 3 weeks on calorie deficit, and I already feel controlled by the calories... Hopefully I can stop doing that and start a new healthier journey with food, where balance is key. I'll try not to care about the scale number tho.
updates ?
I came across this video and it hit home. I currently suffer from severe body dysmorphia - not eating enough calories a day, working out vigorously and then binge eating. I’m 4 months postpartum and I need to stop treating myself like this. Thank you for this.
amazing video. i have struggled with both ends of the eating disorder spectrum. i was anorexic and bulimic and now i have a bad habit of overeating and binge eating which led me to obesity. you really nailed the mental processes that happen when i used to binge eat.
I eat every 5 minutes I’m seeing my body getting fat every day I’m tired of it but I can’t imagine not eating even if the food wasn’t that good
Thank you for this video-it was very helpful❤️
Thank you so much. This video has literally changed my life!
i didnt know what was wrong with me until i watched this video. thank u for explaining so well
I started binge eating in 2015 when I was 16. I'm 20 and it's still going on.
I used to binge eat before I was vegan whole plant foods based lifestyle and that's helped me cut it out of my life.
David Mcgregor that’s so amazing
David Mcgregor what vegan foods do you eat that help you cut out binge eating?
I'm vegan. I have almost no processed food in the house or sugar. Still i snack nuts, dried fruits, dark chocolate, rice cracker with almond butter (things that could be healthy) whenever i enter the kitchen.. and i feel guilty almost the same as when i eat sugary treats someone offers me elsewhere
oceangelixir but do you gain weight off these foods?
David Mcgregor Joe has it helped? I’ve been thinking about going vegan so that I have to focus my eating around whole plant foods.
i seriously cried watching this , i saw my self
I’ve been struggling with binge eating for a while now and I’ve found that staying at a friends or having someone eat with you helps me stop binging because I always do it alone. I’ve also found that you shouldn’t be so hard on yourself if you relapse or eat something that makes you feel guilty. Try to allow yourself to understand that everyone relapses and to just take little steps at a time when recovering.
Hope this helps someone x
I struggle with B.E.D. And one of the toughest things is my family pressuring me to eat after I told them I’ve already eaten earlier or that I’m not even hungry. I’m just met with resistance and stupid excuses that I should/need to eat when they are. Toxic!
I don't know whether my prob. Is related to binge eating.
Earlier I was so concerned about my weight. Therefore I started dieting and happily I lost 8 kgs in a short period. Later that I gave myself a break and started eating normal (I was still restricted sugar and junk food)
But after some time, I started craving food alot and specially sweets. The main problem is that , I don't feel full even though I eat alot more than others.
So it's been one month and now I've gained 3kgs more.
I'm so depressed 😔
My life story, I was so healthy in July I weighted about 108 lbs, and I basically had abs. Now I weigh 125 lbs and my stomach is so fat and same with my thighs even working out is no longer fun. And man I used to be the girl that made others work out and was so inspiring. Now,,, not so much.
Hey Vihanga. I hope things are better now. Maybe the reason you started binging could be because you lost weight fast so you may have reduced your calorie intake too much. This may be the reason for the cravings. Try to include the things you crave into your diet but in small amounts. That may help and might be better than completely restricting a certain food item.
Amazing video, just what I needed. Thank you 🙏💕
Thank you so much!!! Been loosing and gaining weight due to me trying to control my binge eating disorder,the tips very much did help and something I needed to hear! I'll be back to give updates onto this again thank you❤
