    I struggle with binge eating and I found her vid very comforting seeing someone with a following being open and talking about her struggles around food. People with a binge eating disorder understand what she is talking about when she says eat when you are satisfied and not overly full. Binge eating is when you feel overly full to the point of sick, and in a way abuse food because for example "Ice cream" May not be a fun dessert but rather a trigger and an a addiction. So her saying 1 treat meal a week is a healing process because she got to relearn how to love a treat rather then just quickly eating it with shame. If you don't struggle with BED don't comment on her ways to recover. I think she did a wonderful job.

    I think there are a lot of mixed messages in this video. This is not necessarily recovery oriented. As a person in recovery, I think it's really important to not categorize foods as "good" or "bad." It can be very punishing in nature. While I don't think Summer meant to cause harm, mentioning numbers can make it seem like eating disorders are only valid if you lose or gain "x" amount of weight.
    Mentioning discipline in here isn't necessary. Recovery is not about discipline, it's about giving yourself unconditional permission to eat when you're hungry! There's no shame in having a treat every day. There's no shame in cellulite, it doesn't mean you're unhealthy. I've dealt with anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder. Recovery from all of them has looked the same. It's not about working out obsessively to make sure one does not gain weight that isn't muscle weight.
    I think mentioning how not to gain weight in an eating disorder "recovery" video isn't great. Recovery is about acceptance, even if that means gaining weight. Trying to avoid where your body naturally wants to be (and weigh) is a form of restricting your intake!

    I’m currently recovering from 14 years of anorexia, and everything you’re telling is the exáct opposite of what I am learning and doing atm. I want my body to decide what it needs and at which weight it belongs (or it “wants” to be). Your health is the most important thing, and therefore, I am absolute not an advocate of “avoiding snacks” or “eating clean”. No, give yourself permission to fuel your body (and soul or brain or anything) with whatever it needs. And thén things will balance out themselves. Becoming skinny should never be a goal or starting point to recover: your health should be. And with that I mean: a healthy relationship with food, without any restrictions, but just balanced and “free”.

    I wasn't trying to find faults in this video, but I did find 2 horrible "tips" that Summer mentioned. First, you SHOULD be able to eat more than 1 "treat" per week. At 6:30 she talked about going a whole week, then letting yourself eat a treat at the end of the week. HORRIBLE ADVICE. I eat dessert every single night of my life, and I am very healthy and fit. It's all about finding balance. Second, she mentioned "try to avoid snacking." Girl, have you ever heard of hummus & veggies, greek yogurt & berries, rice crackers & avocado, etc. I'm sorry, but telling her followers to avoid snacking is essentially the same as "restrict your daily caloric intake", which is horrible advice.

  • @mariacarolinaribeiro1089
    @mariacarolinaribeiro1089 3 роки тому +133

    I actually have a different view on body positive affirmations that made a huge impact on me, one time Demi Lovato said that it should be more about body acceptance rather than body positivity because accepting your body with its flaws is way more important than just lying to yourself because it's also normal to not feel so good about your body sometimes and what you need is to feel comfortable with it, not lie to yourself because that also puts a negative connotation on the things you point as "flaws".
    So try to change and instead of standing in front of the mirror saying "you're so beautiful, I love you" without believing it, aknowledge the truth about how you feel and accept it like "I have cellulite and it's okay because it's a part of the body that gives me life so I see you, you're healthy and I accept you"

    • @mariacarolinaribeiro1089
      @mariacarolinaribeiro1089 3 роки тому +12

      I actually have a different view on a lot of things you said, because it seems like you in a way substituted binge eating with working out which can be really dangerous because it underlines that you might still have an unhealthy relationship with food and the only way you can feel better and control it is by working out 3 times a week.
      But this can just be me projecting and being way too cautious because of the ED situations I know closely and obviously everyone's recovery can be so different, I just hope you know that:
      1. You shouldn't workout in order to look a certain way
      2. You don't have to only treat yourself after following "a plan" throughout the week, like you said restriction is the worst and I think you should be able to not workout if you don't feel like it and still feel good and treat yourself throghout the week whenever you want as long as you're healthy
      3. You can and should feel good about your body natural changes and natural weight flactuations without having to look "toned" or a certain way.
      But that's all, I just want you andhope you can find peace in your body without having to follow those "rules" in a way, but of course recovery isn't linear and you obviously can still be figuring it out while sharing your journey with the world so I'm just making these observations to help you and because I want you to be well, not to come for you at all, that's the worst thing anyone can do because we're all figuring it out too and you sharing this is already a lot and I salute you for that Summer!

    I think to say ‘no snacking’ is quite harmful, some people like me rather to sit down and eat a big meal and rarely snack but others are snickers and consistently eat small meals across the day. In fact in recovery I’ve found it’s better to eat regularly to keep my energy up. Also cellulite does not go away, it’s normal, even at my smallest with my Ed I still had cellulite and it didn’t go away plus the little stripes are cute.

    Share your concerns and tips in a polite loving way, there's nothing worse than attacking people sharing their personal struggles, recovery experiences or over their triggers, even if you don't agree with their approach, your own recovery experience and look on things can change once more educated, remember that they might be struggling and figuring it out and that doesn't mean that they're "hypocrites", purposefully sharing a bad message or that they don't know that people don't cater to their triggers, recovery isn't linear, be compassionate and understanding.

      Another thing people aren’t realizing is that flipping from a binge eating disorder into more restrictive mindsets (and the other way around) is very common.

      @@nuclearclarity3778 Exactly! People automatically assume that when someone talks about these types of issues and recovery that they're "fixed" and know all about it but the truth is that just because someone decides to share what they have gone through whether it's because it's cathartic for them, or in order to help others, whatever it is, it doesn't mean that they're no longer struggling or figuring it out at all, especially since recovery is not linear. I've noticed that so much that when a public figure goes through something, relapses or goes into a few spirals, people call them hypocrites or liars, or say that "they always do the same thing" but that's what recovering from these issues is like to majority of people. Ofc this isn't necessarily that situation but some of these comments and reactions truly reflect that mindset, people talk about mental health more but they're far from comprehending mental illnesses or having empathy and understanding towards a lot of what it brings and means.

I understand why you believe that some foods are bad for you, because that's what we've been taught to believe from the start. But, the reality is that every food fuels us and provides us with something we need. Too much of any food, even the "good foods" can harm our bodies in some way. So, instead of demonizing a food that we crave (both mentally and physically!) we should strive to maintain a varied diet that incorporates all types of foods.

    While some points in this video were helpful I would just like to add a very large piece that I believe was missing from this message, if you believe you may be struggling with depression,ed,etc. please seek professional help working out and eating healthy will not fix the internal component that adds to these, issues like these do not just go away on their own

    Just a few concerns about the mix messaging in this vid.. firstly opening up about your ED (which takes a lot of courage to share so thank u for sharing), given that it’s got ED in title, a lot of people who have EDs will be attracted to this vid. When touching on certain tips like; when to eat and how much to eat, exercising and it reducing cellulite, staying away from snacking, food is the biggest part of how u look - these are all messages u touched on that can TRIGGER an ED, and can trigger more obsessive eating disorder behaviours. I say this with sincerity, but perhaps doing a bit more research so that the language and advice you give is slightly more aligned with your intended message might help 😊
    Other than that love your content, your a cool gal and we all have areas to improve and refine on our delivery of messaging.. but this message particularly!

    Appreciate the intention, but as someone in recovery, this missed the mark for me :/. Nothing wrong with snacking, exercising should not be called "addictive", treats aren't only for like once a week, "burning calories" shouldn't be mentioned in an ED recovery video, cellulite isn't bad. I get it's just your experience, but I still think it can be harmful to people.

    Cellulite occurs because of the way fat cells are stored in our body - for men, fat cells just under the skin are stacked in a 'flatter' way. In female bodies they stack together in a sort of wavy pattern, so it's inevitable and completely natural that women have cellulite! It may show more on a larger body, but tbh everyone has it and it isnt something to be ashamed of

  • @risadaley655
    @risadaley655 2 роки тому +1

    I totally agree with you, listening to ur body is key and it's so helpful. It's wise to eat to feel satisfied, and not really full (over eating), cause that can cause discomfort after. And eating nourishing foods that will make your body feels good is awesome 👌 👏

      I think what she is saying is moving her body and exercising helped her create good habits to help her with binge eating. Its not necessarily about the exercising then it is to create healthy habits and a healthy mindset to help overcome the negative thoughts that come with binge eating. I know as a binge eater myself, moving my body deters my body from going in spiral mode.

    • @anadusao
      @anadusao 2 роки тому +1

      @@christineesparza5417 what bothered in her video was her saying she became obsessed with exercising and how she was recommending to exercise 5 times a week, it's really unhealthy in my opinion, especially because when you don't exercise at all you're not used to it & it can take months before getting better at it. so recommending over exercising to people with already obsessive habits (binge eating) does not seem like a good idea. and some people with ed over exercise and it makes it even worse.
      at one point I do think, yes, starting to exercise from time to time is a good idea but maybe not that drastically.

    • @ileniag2555
      @ileniag2555 2 роки тому +1

      If you eat enough, 3 full meals a day, you won't necessarily feel the need to snack. She may have said it in twisted way if you put it out of context, but the meaning of this video is: eat a balanced diet and if you need a snack or "you want a chocolate bar" eat it. She said "try to stay away from snacking" meaning try to stay away from constant snacking that won't let you have a balance diet eating 3 full meals a day. Extrapolating just one sentence out of context is obviously gonna result in taking advice she has never given.
