    A big one for me is idleness. The busier I am the less I think about food. I would like to rest without obsessing 😢 Thank you for everything you do ❤

      I agree, but not just "busy" it needs to be rewarding activity.

    Yes to the binging to cope with the fact that you binged !! So real.

    Another UA-camr I watch was having this issue. Increasing engagement in the chat seems to help. If you can get viewers to leave comments, and you interact by liking/responding, that apparently boosts your channel in the algorithm.
    I enjoy your content and find it helpful so I hope this comment helps you in return!

    It feels like loneliness(both actual and existential) and disconnection have been the biggest triggers for me. Food and food issues are the escape and pure distraction from the feeling that I can't deal with because it's so hard and painful. I don't know what to do next.
    Thanx for your work❤

      Thanks for sharing your experience. Loneliness is not the trigger for me that it once was, thanks to several factors; however, I do recognize that when I feel like binging, I isolate in order to "enjoy" my binge. Not sure which factor triggers the other: do I isolate to binge, or feel the urge to binge, so I isolate? Probably both.

      I can relate to being lonely and not connected with binge eating, as well as generally not having my basic needs, ie feeling like I belong, feeling liked or even loved (the list goes on...)
      I feel in a vicious circle as I cant see away out of my current situation.

    What a fantastic video - I could relate to so much of what you said. Your work on UA-cam is excellent and is very helpful to people like me who struggle so much. Like other commenters here, I also find that isolation and boredom are triggers for binges - I have nobody around to inhibit the behaviour and, when I do, I resent them deeply for getting in the way.
    I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and I look forward to your next video. Thank you for everything you do.

    Sarah, I think one of the reasons I keep coming back to your videos (& I'm "subscribed for all" of them!) is that you have been there. You know what it is like to binge eat, so that when you share professional strategies, I am willing to try them much more readily than information I receive from "normal" eaters, whether they're professional, friends, or family. Thank you so much!

    Thank you for another insightful video. Several of these are indeed triggers for me. The most challenging is #1. I feel like I rarely have an isolated binge… Especially if we're talking about a really bad one. Other triggers I have learnt to manage better, but after a binge… it's like my brain works differently.

  • @raikaburfien1119

    Hey. I really love your videos. They are really insightful even-though sometimes I don't share your opinion or agree with it. It helped me a lot to watch your videos. One disorder/trigger that can cause binge-eating problems is BPD. I have BPD. I am struggling with binge-eating since I'm really young. The school psychologists were suspecting binge-eating-disorder, and I think I did have it but I wasn't diagnosed. Later, I still struggled with binge-eating but I didn't meet the criteria for binge-eating-disorder anymore since I found other coping-mechanisms to cope with Emotions. Those weren't healthy either but I'm very far in recovery right now. Whatever, feeling restricted also leads to binges, and I do have some disordered eating behavior and thoughts I'm working on with my therapist. But BPD is definitely one reason that some people can't cope with their emotions and have a lot of black-and-white-thinking which is a huge risk factor of binge eating or even binge-eating disorder and the diet-binge-cycle. And with bingeing, I really don't mean just intense emotional eating, but really with all characteristics of binges. I sometimes even had short episodes similar to bulimia with purging, but it never became that addiction so it was easy to stop for me after noticing it doesn't work.

  • @scarlettmimi17

    A big trigger for me is seeing something physical on my body (scars, acne, cuts etc) which cause extreme anxiety. My diagnosis of BDD means these things feel like the end of the world. When things are harder, there’s this sense that if I can’t feel completely happy in my body, I don’t want it. Binging is a way to numb anxiety and reject my body or what I think are ‘flaws’ for a few hours. It goes back to perfectionism and black & white thinking. It feels like all it takes is seeing something in the shower or whilst I’m getting changed and the switch can flick to.. “what’s the point in trying or looking after my body (water/nutrition/movement) when x will still be ‘wrong’ with my body even if I do those things”. I guess it’s learning to be more compassionate/ balanced, which seems quite far off at the moment, even with cbt at the Maudsley. I keep reminding myself that I’m still here trying, as I’ve had so many times where I’ve not wanted to keep going or times where I’ve felt stuck in a loop and constantly at square 1. I’ve just wanted to stay numb. But there are tiny moments of happiness/contentment in most days at the moment. Thanks for your videos Sarah, you are so full of light and so warm 💛

      @lizpride9960 it’s so awful when your body feels like the centre of your world/ your whole existence. My mental state feels so dependent on my body image. I hope you’re ok and I hope your Xmas is full of love. We will feel better. Hugs

    1) Binging itself (I binge bc I binge cycle)
    2) Transitions ( ex: work to home) switching gears
    3)losing weight & unconscious fear of it
    4)desire to punish yourself (self-hatred😞)
    5) impulse control issue (part of brain compromised)

    I realised recently that thirst is a trigger for my eating lots at once. Anything that feels cool in my mouth: yogurt and other spoonable diary products, ice cream, soft cheesecake for example. All more attractive than water. But when I drink water I drink it with gusto and drain a glass quickly. It takes a lot of yogurt to satiate that type of thirst.

    #4 self punishment was a bit of a revelation.
    I really dont like myself and when you said what is your crime, my instant answer was 'being alive'. Realised that maybe that's quite an answer and I ought to delve a bit deeper where or why this has come about.

    • @pizzapattycakes

    Thank you for yet another great video.
    I really enjoy your videos. They are helpful and insightful and I appreciate how open you are about your own story. That somehow makes me feel seen, if that makes sense.
    I realised, some time ago when you mentioned it, that transitions definitely trigger me. Hearing it again anchors the awareness more, so again: really helpful.
    So I hope the comments of all of us, your viewers, help you.

    Another good one. Transition eater here.
    Sarah talked about transitional eating in another video a while ago already and I could relate hard. I wonder if ADHD has something to do with transitional eating. Plus impulse control. No big binges or "loss of control eating" more like eating that one little bite before being able to stop.

    I find that one of my triggers lies within my introvert personality, which is being self critical around others. Therefore I am almost always triggered after being around people. My solution to this is the realization that it will trigger me, which makes the trigger less effective.
