    My binge eating is BAD. I was on a good streak, I lost 5lbs, and then out of nowhere: cake, pizza, more pizza, cheese, coke, bread, fried chicken. Now im so close to my highest weight again. HORRIBLE!!! I STUFF my face until I feel sick and I don’t stop, I keep going through the stomach pain. Disgusted with myself.

    I am a 'tomorrow I'll ....' person, not for things related to work or workouts, but for any difficult thing that requires change. But I didn't see it as an excuse to keep doing the bad habit today. Definitely interesting point of view ! Thank you Sarah!

    1.stop tomorrow thinking
    ask what make you think that u will be able to make it tomorrow NOT today?
    2. Stop trying to make the right choice
    Remeber nothing right nothing wrong
    Eat intuitively
    3.stop viewing seeing it in linear
    processes from A to B

    The way you describe going from the chaos in food, to the peaceful food behavior, and bringing yourself back repeatedly until you just spend more and more time in the peace and then that’s recovery- that sounds like practicing meditation & bringing yourself back to the present moment whenever you can which over time leads to more deeper states of meditation and more peaceful thinking overall.
    I’ve gathered from your videos that mindfulness and even meditation can be really important to the recovery process so I’m trying to implement it into my daily life and I do think it’s helping a lot

    Stop trying to stop binge eating by trying to stop binge eating. That's one of the most helpful messages I've encountered.
    Thank you so much for your videos, I'm watching them on repeat.

    So almost everyone I've heard/ everything I've read they say that eating regular and balanced meals, or eating breakfast especially with lots of protein, or eating regular healthy snacks, etc, will help prevent binges. My problem is that I overeat in the evenings, sometimes afternoons, REGARDLESS of whether or when or how much I ate during the day. So as a person who isn't typically hungry in the mornings (although if breakfast is provided for me I'll usually happily eat it... but it's not a thing I need to have) and i also tend to not be hungry until around 1-3pm, it's hard to make myself eat something until then, cause while I *could* eat, I'm not necessarily hungry, and also I'll most likely overeat in the evening no matter what, so then my thoughts go well why not just skip the meal(s) and save on calories during the morning and/or noon time?

    Very interesting- I'm a nutritionist but still feel too fraudulent to practice being a nutritionist because I'm a binge eater. Its a shame because I could support people whilst coming from a place of experience - hopefully I will change my mindset one day. I'm looking forward to watching more of your work. I have ADHD and I think that is definitely related to my eating. The tomorrow concept works particularly well for my ADHD brain because I get an instant dopamine kick when I say to myself 'Yay, I'm gonna nail this tomorrow' Silly brain ;)

      I also have ADHD and BED and didn’t realise that they were so related till recently. I’ve also discovered (unfortunately due to medication shortages and having to change my medication) that medication for adhd has really helped me. I’ve found that without the ability to focus my mind I am far more likely to go to food as a way to fill time. Have been doing really well but the medication change is making it much more challenging.

    @squirrelmummy Рік тому +5

    Yeah I totally think I'll get on with dieting/healthy eating tomorrow... The trouble is that I'll cram as much eating in that day but when tomorrow comes I fail again so I eat as much as I can thinking I'll start tomorrow... And on and on until Iv been majorly overeating for months and gone up a dress size. I am really seeing the logic in giving up the battle. I don't have the panic to get all the food as quick as possible because I'm not planning to diet tomorrow. I can't say I'm eating perfectly but there isn't the all or nothing approach and I'm not eating as much as I would be in the vicious binge cycle.

    Very good said! It's not just about food... I see in me pattern, that i strugle with other "every day staff" too. If i don't do something that i planed day before, i feel very anxious with bad thoughts, that i can't managed even "little things" in life (ex. go outside for walk, cleaning, see friends...)

    Everything you said resonated with me I'm so fixated on the outcome I'm overly focused. Funnily enough over the last few days I've been randomly telling myself that i need to not care because in the passed i didn't care and i wasn't gaining heaps of weight or struggling its like only now that i care its now a problem. Gosh I'd love to go back to my old self when i just ate aomething for breakfast because i was hungry and that was it no breakfast ocd or after breakfast guilt followed by planning lunch to make up for breakfast 😢 i also tell myself i need a new hobby to focus on so i can stop focusing of dam food, i use to be a foodie when i didnt care about food i loved it loved to bake an make stuff everyday now i hate food its a prison sentence

    This idea of your future self is so helpful. At work people would take overtime and say they were regretting it when working but future them would be happy when paid. I like the idea of looking after your future self and not putting all that pressure on tomorrow. I do that a lot instead of living just now.

    I'm loving video.
    I feel that being on the verge of something (the I'll do it tomorrow thinking), can be an exciting feeling. Being addicted to excitement/frenzy can be where a person thrives. Also actually moving forward with that 'thing' can be terrifying (even if it's something I've wanted forever). What will that feel like? Will I struggle? Who will I be past this? We all know the old is painful but familiar, and the new isn't familiar, and that's scary. On the other hand, it could be really really fantastic!
    Second point you make: Analysis paralysis is a real thing for me. Perfectionistic thinking is like hitting a brick wall. Hearing (once again) that black and white thinking can sneak up everywhere, but taking a breath, stepping back and making the best choice for the moment for me, (not everyone in this community or society) is what the goal is. Making a decision that's away from a set way of eating is where I really have to dig to listen to what my gut is saying. Listen and be honest with myself and make a choice. The honesty applies to the two to five year old me who wants to get away with something in the name of doing the right thing and making the adult, thought out, honest, peaceful choice. It's like re-raising myself from the point in life where I became blocked/stunted. We've all heard of the inner child. I am raising my inner child, with kindness and love.
    Third point you mention: To me the meaning of "recovered" means there will no longer be a struggle. In life there are ebbs and tides, why would I think that the food would be different? (fantasy I guess) I am no longer bingeing, not really a struggle, the struggle is the thinking (I can mentally generate that bingeing frenzied feeling on a regular meal) That's where there's the peace or chaos for me. So knowing even "normal" people live lives of ups and downs, of pain and peace, and it's normal is comforting. Getting back to peace is coming faster and knowing that chaos will pass if I don't panic makes a difference. No success is made without setbacks and some failures. That's where we learn. So if I make a food choice that ends up putting me in a spiral, being kind to myself, picking up that little girl, kissing her on the forehead and telling her "that's ok", now we know what doesn't work for us, is a huge thing to have learned about myself.
    As always, I learn or am reminded of something I needed to hear. Thank you Sarah.

    Thank you Sarah, point 3 is very relevant, I've had around 6 weeks in a much more calm state, no binging. Then last 3 days have been back into the chaos. 4 days ago was my dads funeral, so no coincidence there. Learning how to get back to the other state is what is important here. I can now see that rather than this being a set back, it's an important and required part of the process. Thank you
    Do you have any control over the ads that show? I try to watch them as I know it helps, but there is often noom and today it was for a binge eating coach, when clicking on link it promises weight loss and that "all my clients lose weight"

    • @TheBingeEatingTherapist
      @TheBingeEatingTherapist  2 роки тому +3

      I’m sad to hear you lost your dad. Grief is such a messy complex one which can affect you in all sorts of ways. My bulimia was at it’s very worst after my mum died and at the time I was convinced there was no correlation. Hindsight is a different story of course. Be kind to yourself at this time ❤️❤️
      Sadly I don’t have any control or influence over what adverts UA-cam puts on my videos. I know the coach you mean. I try to be open minded but I struggle with the idea you can just tap the binge away and of course the heavy focus on weight loss

  • @connorcress7644
    @connorcress7644 2 роки тому +5

    This is the first video I've watched from your or on this topic. I am definitely a tomorrow person! I eat when I am tired, I eat before I leave on some kind of irregular trip or drive if I know I won't be home in a few hours I eat when I'm stressed I eat when I'm bored I eat because I love food I eat because its a habit. I used to wrestle year round and it was always cut tons of weight then binge binge binge then cut and repeat and when wrestling ended for me I am still binging years later. I recently lost 60lb with the help of a trainer and I would say yes I am winning the war but I keep losing the battles that set me back big time. The trainer keeps saying it's simple just don't put things in your mouth and he keeps getting mad and threatening to drop me but I do it subconsciously sometimes too where I realize what I've done and panic trying to throw up or go running in the middle of the night. Sometimes my wife will yell at me and I will still eat mid-yelling and growing up my dad would always scream stop eating at the top of his lungs so much so that it's ingrained in my mind like PTSD of some kind. Yet even with all that I just can't stop eating until pain, I have lost a ton of weight but I am still binging I drink like 6 crystal lights a day and multiple zero-calorie sodas and I eat tons of pickles and other untrackable caloric items. I tried to go to therapy but as an adult, I can't just get "called out of school" for a 1pm appointment and there is never any outside of an 8-4 availability, I even tried to see a hypnotherapist as well. I will binge then get so stressed out immensely and I with pick off my entire beard on one side of my face in deep thought just to snap out of it and realize and have to shave to hide the disaster.
    A big mess of a story I know just thought I would share since I don't know anyone else with my problems and never shared them before.

    Thanks for this video, it was very interesting. You mentioned people feeling like not eating in the hot weather, but I’m actually the opposite. The hot weather makes me feel stressed and uncomfortable, and I just feel like eating constantly. I think I should keep an eye on how I’m feeling today and notice what’s going on when I just feel like eating. Any advice please Sarah?

      I usually feel less hungry during the heat, but for some reason in this heatwave I am also feeling hungrier and eating more. I don’t know why and I too am just noticing, letting go of automatic judgements and trusting ❤️❤️

    Tomorrow thinking - this!! I’ve realized I’ve spent literally years, decades even, of my life pushing things off till tomorrow, so I don’t make changes. Not even with binge eating but also that ofc.
    But knowing now is all I really have has been changing my life. For example I’ve been trying to stretch at night before I go to bed. Last night I was like no I’m not going to do that it’s already late I don’t have time it’s too hard too much of a leap. But then I thought, bc it’s a leap, that’s why I want to do it, bc that’s where change happens, and this is what I want for myself. I want my body to feel relaxed tonight, waiting until tomorrow won’t do that.
    So I did it just for 5 mins! And it was awesome! And I felt great about it.
