I am so so glad to hear what Jessi just said at this point of the video ~[11:15] ..."just like in AA, you are repeating affirmations that are so limiting." I ran into that with CODA. I would not say that because I do not agree with that! I am not in denial. I once was codependent, but now I am an OVERCOMER THANKS BE TO GOD!! I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME, WHO EMPOWERS ME!!
This is so amazing. I’ve been following Caroline for years and used her program to change my thinking when I had panic attacks. I only recently realized that I needed to do the same for my eating behaviors. So thankful God reminded me of this. I’m on day 14 and while I have days of mental backsliding, it’s becoming more automatic for me to not have thoughts pop up about food.
Ketogenic diet cured my comfort eating. I did it after realising I was getting blood sugar issues. Side effect is it curbs your appetite so you just lose all interest in excessive eating. I’d only suggest it for a month alongside everything in this amazing video. It’s not a diet I would even want to keep to, but now I’m back eating without restrictions I just have lost all desire to comfort eat.
This podcast was suggested for me.Its like you have lived my life! You hit all of my questions! I am over 65 years of age and my eating problem goes back to when I was 10 years of age.Could you PLEASE POST THE CONTACT so I can access the 4 month program she spoke of.I have been forced into retirement and want to take control of this particular area of my life,its never too late!
I’m going to try meditation, because I’ve noticed as soon as I take a step back from a stressful situation that is triggering me to binge, once I take a few deep breaths I feel in control again
This video is simply amazing!! I have gone through so so many videos about binge eating but this one, by far, is the most relatable, the most useful and so informative. Thank you Ladies, thank you. I now feel like I have hope to stop 30 years of binge eating.
Ok so I just now understood your mind field and brain, how they are separate. I always felt the mind was something else but the moment you said the brain takes over (what I call the robot and there I go, gone and eat a box of cookies then my mind takes in and wtf did I just do.) This just clicked! Mind management, taking control and rewiring the brain. Wow!
You’ve given an awesome piece of advice. I’ve never heard such thoughts before while I’ve been seeking to figure out what to do with eating disorders that I had occasionally.
I agree I do not like labeling yourself in the negative it goes against scripture you are using your words against yourself so in fact it is scientific and scriptural confirmation ! That was powerful
How about those who have a eating disorder of the opposite when emotions affect my thoughts of someone else's behavior than the food become restricted. How do we regain our weight instead of wearing it..
Well said, Dr. Leaf...I volunteered for a short time at an adolescent eating disorder unit and parents where remortgaging their homes to pay for their daughter's in stay at $35,000/mo at Laureate Psychiatric Facility. I knew there was a better way!! My heart was so moved with compassion for these young girls and their parents. We cannot take a diagnosis hook line and sinker. JESUS is OUR HEALER. HE'S THE PHYSICIAN.
Same and somehow inside I felt like I couldn’t wait to get home and binge, like I was confessing my sins so I could be freed of the guilt to go back home and feel like I wanted to do it again..just my experience though
This was such a great teaching thank you! Are the meditations she's talking about biblical? Because with all of the types of meditations being taught it can be dangerous to have the ones listening and following like myself, go down that road and start the healing process to just fall into another issue (idolatry).
That's a great point Erika! We all need to be wary of where our thoughts travel! I will say this: dependent on a person's worldviews, this could be biblical. First Corinthians 6:19 says, "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own." When we lose control and have an addiction, we've inadvertently lost control of our bodies anyways. When we fight to keep God first, God is in charge and the Holy Spirit is the manager. If people meditate and fall into the process of another idolatry worship, we can be ready to walk with them back to God's path. We do not have control over where a person's mind and worldviews go, but we can encourage better. That's what we are called to do.

Amen we were designed for freedom but to never come to know how we were designed and how freedom works in us we remain chained, excellent

Such an excellent podcast. A big thanks to both of you! ❤
I think it would be awesome if we could make EMOTIONAL REGULATION and TRAUMA widely understood terms. And OMG yes... the importance of connection!!!
Great point to look at things with fun...positively...changes are ok..

We are always learning....
That was thee biggest issue that I had with OA. Constantly confessing that felt so counterproductive.
Same and somehow inside I felt like I couldn’t wait to get home and binge, like I was confessing my sins so I could be freed of the guilt to go back home and feel like I wanted to do it again..just my experience though
This is so good!
I stress ate yesterday I was so upset and stressed out
Stay strong and love yourself,2 steps forward, 1 step back,just keep moving forward🙏
This was such a great teaching thank you!

Wtf.
I have spent covid learning and growing spiritually.I have a good contact in Buddhism (Toronto Centre) KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM BRINGS COMPASSION,
Knowledge is power
Totally agree .... great video albeit the interviewer who keeps referring to her research is slightly irritating. Less is more.
South African accent ?
THIS. IS. AWESOME.
