This is exactly where I'm at. 74yo, my behaviors around food became more extreme in the last few years. However, daily meditation has helped me become observant of myself. Your videos have really touched my heart as well, so thank you ❤
I find i always make these promises to myself after a binge in the evening or the next morning. And all is well until the afternoon when the cravings return and i start to struggle
Dogs have owners; cats have staff! Don't keep her waiting so long next time Sarah! (Here comments the devoted slave to a Siamese) I liked the "beginning just by deciding to stand on the yoga mat each day" anecdote. I'm always setting the bar too high for exercise and end up giving up. But if I say - it's ok, just commit to a minute a day - I know I can make a habit of it.
I’m going threw some stressful life lessons right Now. And have been stress eating. I too am 70+ and have struggled with feast famine dieting all my life. White knuckling it so many times. I’m insulin resistant so your channel really helps me get back into perspective. Thank you
I’m a clinical hypnotherapist. Your work has informed my work with clients, and also for myself. I’m currently working with a client who has a part that doesn’t want to binge at night, but won’t let go of cannabis. It’s the feeling of that behavior that competes with the desire to release the binging. He wants that feeling, but insists it needs to be from cannabis. That Part is definitely executive. He has that framing, so we’ll see. I hope he returns at some point. ❤
A bit different for me. I experience the first part with wanting and needing to change because I can’t tolerate the symptoms so in that moment I am committed to change. But days later once my body has recovered from the effects of binging I go back to eating junk and in that moment I am like I don’t want to actually give this up completely and sometimes my sneaky brain will make me forget about my goals and even turns off all thoughts and I end up eating unconsciously. So it’s not that I think I can’t change but it’s that I don’t really want to. But I know I need to. The “I don’t want to” state also turns off any guilt or shame. I get “motivated” to change once my symptoms get too overwhelming and I’m back in the same cycle. I know that if I really wanted to actually change I would do so. But if I don’t change my body will fall me. If you can do a UA-cam about that would be great but I understand if it’s not worth your time if I am the only one this happens to. Thanks.
Great video and very timely. I kept thinking it was one of my cats making the noise and was wondering why they were awake when this is usually one of their (many) sleep times. Your cat is beautiful.🐱
It took me to the end of the video to realize the cat is in your house and not mine. I kept stopping the video and looking down the hall and under the bed and out the window. I was certain a cat must’ve gotten into my house. I eventually went outside to look around because it’s extremely cold outside here in Canada and I didn’t want the poor thing to suffer.
Ottie is a superstar!!! Thai is why I had to get two and be able to work. I love your insights on our parts. Would love more episodes on this… and I think you have done previous ones that I will research now.
I have an “Morning Me”, and an “Evening Me”. I do brilliantly with my eating all day long, just to find myself diving into poorer choices at night. Argh!
What you have described is me. I go through these 2 sides of me whenever I start this. I am about 2 weeks in and I am already having carb creep. I am off sugar so carbs are looking more attractive. Thanks, I never thought about this way that you’ve described!
This video is so helpful! I’ve been looking at this myself recently and knowing that all the parts of us co exist, and they don’t just disappear when we move into a different part is a game changer when it comes to mental wellbeing Also all parts being just as valid is a great mindset as arguing with each part or invalidating it just leads to more internal conflict Ps love your cat making an appearance! 😍
I am currently going through this. My mind is full of constant food noise that is so overwhelming. There are times I actually wonder if I will ever be at peace from this.
I keep coming across certain videos right when I need them. Yes, I plan on eating mostly when physically hungry, and doing it mindfully, especially sugar. Then I wake up and I’m like “where are the chocolate chips???”
I love your cat’s guest appearance 😂x

I have a psychiatric medication that is life saving for me. But it also drive binge eating desires at night. It is very difficult to manage.

The problem of "forgeting" happens to me, too. Please make a video about it, if you can!

Same here 😂 looking around wondering who and why is "talking" at this time

Hahaha, love your cat interrupting 😂 and I also love the examples you give a lot of times. It makes me understand better what you are saying.
We can hear the fluff!! ❤❤
Thank you for this video!!

Three points, the last being cats are grounding agents of chaos.

I soooo relate!
Me too!
This! I do this every day!

I love cats! Thank you for the thought provoking ideas. I definitely have two sides to my approach to food.
Funny because my cat has an eating dsiorder from being an outside cat in a cat colony. Her struggles are as real as mine. And that helps
Aww that is so sweet that you have each other and can empathize. I imagine that is healing in a way ❤🐈
Thank you so very much for this timely video. Just what I needed today. Btw your cat is beautiful
