I’m currently recovering from bulimia and I binge and overeat a lot and I always feel like I lack control. Thank you for this video. Whenever I ate too much, my mom always called me greedy :( but really my body is just malnourished.
I have the problem of eating most of my calories during the night. Like I think I'm healing from my negative mindset around food, but I'm scared to eating in front of other people. I might appear calm like I'm not binging but eating at night alone is reflective that I am still not comfortable eating. Definitely going to try eating more during the day.
Amy Liou - your post is 6 monrh ago but I foun a video on UA-cam that maybe will interrest you. Maybd you know her yet and mybe you have had watched this video already.... "What Mia dis next" has had put out video about the fear of eating in front of others. Maybe this is sth. you would like to watch? Big hugs!
I have that fear too. I hate eating in front of people especially when strangers stare & they HOLD that stare for every damn bite & my cousins would even randomly take pictures or videos for no damn reason. I couldn't eat in peace. So I find myself only eating when I'm in a safe room by myself at home.
I think the mindset around the exercise is probably the most important part for it. I'm lifting weights during my recovery and doing walking. But my goal of this exercise is NOT to burn calories at all. I've completely accepted the fact that I will gain fat and don't even think about how my exercise will burn calories. I lift weights because I like feeling strong and it gives me energy, I walk because I'm training for a race and it's meditative for me. These goals give me something to build my self-esteem around besides my ability to control my eating and look "attractive" in the mirror. And help me love other things about my body besides its ability to look "lean". I think that as long as you eat however much you want, your body will probably compensate for the caloric burn of exercise by giving you more hunger cues. But if you're even partially doing exercise because you want to burn calories, I agree that you should cut it out completely. What do you think about this? Edit: Decided to stop training for the race, because I was tempted to deprive myself of the food I wanted to keep my performance high during my training.
Thank you for being so positive and accepting.So helpful for me in recovery... When I want to give up I watch your videos. You are truly a light and an inspiration❤
so does this means that my middle of the night eating at 3:30 am till 4am after sleeping for 2 hours is normal? and i can eat breakfast again at 9am that day?
thank you for commenting this, im so embarrased that I eat at 2 am and 4 am and sleep only a feww hours at a time without needing to eat. im so glad that im not the only one
I use exercise as my stress reliever for the day. I am getting over bulimia , which I’ve had off and on for 16 years. Do you think I still need to stop exercising?? I have four children, am in nursing school and am age 41 and need something to get out negative energy everyday!
As I know from myself.. binges are a State, where you shuffle all food you restrict (or even everything you have on hand right now) into your face/belly, without tasting, honoring and feel the Taste of the foods.. (so literally "get out of control) while extreme Hunger is something (in my experience) I crave the foods/sweets I restricted many years and really enjoy eating them by chewing well and slowly and really enjoy the taste and texture! x)
Can you explain to me, cause I m really worried that during recovery eating vegan food (lots of carbs: banana rice easy to degistive ect because i have problems with my stomach to eat for example legumes) will build mostly fatty tissue instead of muscles ;( please can you answer. thank you for any help. i love your videos xx
im recovering from anorexia nervosa but i binge at least once a day mainly on bread i have really strong cravings and i am so scared that its not going to stop i eat so much and i am scared im going to develop binge eating disorder i dont know what to do should i let the binges happen or should i try and stop myself
@@cinthiaquinde5419 hi i fell back into dieting bulimia etc. Funnily enough though im in month 3 of recovery again. The extreme hunger is so much less now although I've gained a good 2 stone. Im hoping things will settle now
Can you have extreme hunger even though you are not underweight ?I have been restricting for about a year now but never got underweight(lost about 7 kg) I'm trying to follow the Minnie maud guidelines,and according to them I need around 3000 calories (I'm 14 years old) but I'm scared to follow my extreme hunger and eat above 2000 calories because I fear I'll just get obese :-( And I also haven't had my period in 8 months.I have read that these guidelines also applied for normal weight people but I guess I just really need a reassurance ......And another question,what are the consequences of having an eating disorder in your teens (growth and development) ? I'm so sorry for the long text
hey i restricted down to a "healthy" weight, lost period and got extreme hunger upon trying to recover. it's scary and i've gained loads back but i just got spotting for the first time in over a year! i know it's terrifying, i'm terrified myself, but yes, the guidelines do apply to you no matter what BMI. you can do damage to body even if you are not underweight.
april showers Thank you so much for your answer,it feels just so much better to get advice from someone directly and that I can relate more to❤️I think I will just go with it and hope for the best until i get my period back:-) Good luck to you with your recovery
Flyfoxid :3 hi sorry i know im late but i have a same problem and im realy angry sad and scared...I am 14 years old and thru the summer i lost about 6-7 kg.I am not underweight but i lost the in such a wrong way.I restrict like 5 days and then i would just binged like an animal.I tried purging but i cant throw up.When the school started i decided that i need to stop restrict because i want to get out of this cycle but i am so hungry all the time and i eat a lot and im realy scared because i am not underweight but im still eating a lot.My BMI is 18.6 so im on the edge i guess but thru this 2 past days i gained 2 kg just like that.I feel so bad😖Did you succided in your goal did you get better.If so how?Please help😩
Today I ate around 4000 calories.. I am so scared about gaining weight.. I am at "healthy weight", I don't have period again (because of relapse...) but I wanted to increase slowly.. But today EH was stronger than ever... I am scared of my thoughts tomorrow.. I want to recover but I am afraid that tomorrow (and few next days) I will restrict because of it and want to compansate.. :((((
Girl same here :( Food is too good LOL I'm just thinking positive thoughts about all of this though. Like might as well enjoy this period of eating amazing food and just heal because we need it. So enjoy yourself :) I'm just letting it happen. Definitely not taking advantage of my body while it's still not overweight yet but once it get to that point, I'll just keep reminding myself it's what I need
You will gain weight if your body needs it and everyones hunger is different some people still have extreme hunger at night some people are less hungry :)

thank you for commenting this, im so embarrased that I eat at 2 am and 4 am and sleep only a feww hours at a time without needing to eat. im so glad that im not the only one
Barbie Lee I’m so with you!! I also experience this.
So if you don't exercise in recovery your weight can be maintained without it once you have gone through recovery? :) Thank you for the video.
This video is so helpful!
thanks a lot! :)

how do uou know when extreme hunger turns into bingeing?
I really would like it also. I am able to eat whole 2 hours to full my belly. I am not sure if its not rather binging :(
@@annacacorova1977 agreed
When you lose control
In binges you’re not thinking about food whereas extreme hunger you can’t stop. Thinking about food
As I know from myself.. binges are a State, where you shuffle all food you restrict (or even everything you have on hand right now) into your face/belly, without tasting, honoring and feel the Taste of the foods.. (so literally "get out of control) while extreme Hunger is something (in my experience) I crave the foods/sweets I restricted many years and really enjoy eating them by chewing well and slowly and really enjoy the taste and texture! x)
I still don t understand the difference between bingeing and extreme hunger, in terms of volume.
Can you explain to me, cause I m really worried that during recovery eating vegan food (lots of carbs: banana rice easy to degistive ect because i have problems with my stomach to eat for example legumes) will build mostly fatty tissue instead of muscles ;( please can you answer. thank you for any help. i love your videos xx

Did you gain weight from the extreme hunger? Did the extreme hunger at night end when you ate unrestricted during day?
You will gain weight if your body needs it and everyones hunger is different some people still have extreme hunger at night some people are less hungry :)
