    These are practical tools that I put in place which helped me to put distance between trigger and response when it comes to binging or overeating. I do have a longer intro on this one, because I do believe it's incredibly important to give context. Please let me know in the comments if you have any tools which worked for you xx

    This content is SO helpful. I really appreciate that you promote therapy as a part of managing eating behaviors, and these are really tangible practices that people can try. I wish more people understood that it's not as simple as "stop eating junk food", or "go on a diet", but there's a major psychological element of it. It's trying to learn a new way of coping with really difficult emotions and behavior patterns. Thank you so much for raising that up!! 💜💜💜

      Thank you so much Colleen, that’s a huge goal of mine, to dispel the myth that being overweight or obese is down to ignorance or laziness, that’s an old system of blame and shame, I want to promote that this is a mental and behavioural issue 🖤

    Yes to all of this. A saying that's really helped me is "Hunger is not an emergency." Humans can go quite a while without eating and suffer no adverse health effects! Even when your stomach is growling, it's not an emergency. Slow down, breathe, don't panic, take your time to find something nutritious, eat it slowly so you have time to really savor it, and give your body time to tell you that the belly is full. ❤

    I almost never see tips on preventing binges that actually address the root problem so THANK YOU! Everyone tells you about staying hydrated, not skipping meals and keeping trigger foods out of the house but this is so much more helpful because it targets the mindset that causes binges in the first place. ❤️

    I learned that technique in CBT. 5 things you see, 5 things you hear, 5 things you can touch. Cbt helped me stopped a lot self abusing behaviors from sex to cutting. Food was really the last night that i held on it to escape the feelings. But now i just feel them. I use to automatically reach for my razor. Trigger, razor cutting. Wow. Im proud of myself its been over 8 yrs

  • @Lauren-se2ls
    @Lauren-se2ls Рік тому +6

    Carla, thank you for your advice! It's so important to remember that binge eating and food addiction recovery starts in the mind ☺️
    One thing I find really useful is making sure I am properly nourished. I noticed most of my binges happened when I was hungry.
    I've always been overweight and heavier than my immediate family. I always turned to food when I was extremely stressed and recently I had a massive realisation. The rest of my family are thin and it's because we all have different ways of coping with stress. My parents and brother smoke and my sister drinks. I don't smoke or drink often. My "drug" was food. Once I realised this, I was able to recognise those moments of stress, and take 5 mins to myself with a tea/coffee. I also don't keep trigger foods in my home anymore.
    Thank you for your inspiring videos 💗

    I love your videos, but this one really is so insightful.
    I don't have binge eating disorder, but sometimes at the end of my day if I'm really stressed or triggered I want a sweet treat. So I watched this.
    And this is so applicable with every addiction I think. My husband is a p*rn addict and I feel like this video will be really helpful to help him with sobriety and healing.

    I subscribed a while ago, but never watched more than one video. But yesterday I felt an urge to look at your videos again. This video was beyond useful for. Yesterday, after watching, was the first time I didn't eat after dinner in years! Today is day two. The breathing technique is similar to a technique I learned years ago to help me center before doing spiritual readings. I've used this now at least a dozen times these past two days.
    Thank you! I pray you continue and are abundantly happy!!

    Thank you so much for all that you share, Carla. Allowing ourselves to be vulnerable so we can actually connect with ourselves is so helpful and so true! This whole video (&all your others ☀️) are so incredibly helpful. I’ve recently completed trauma & bereavement therapy and everything you’ve said I can relate to so much. Grounding is something I do a lot and also deep breathing which I learned whilst pregnant. So helpful & calming. I have about 11 stone to lose and you honestly have inspired me to show up for myself when it comes to weight loss, it’s been one of the biggest challenges since I was a child & I’m now ready to be my own best friend and continue with my weight loss journey 🌸💕🌈🥲
    I absolutely love listening to you & so thankful for all you do. You’re absolutely amazing and your little boy is so cute (mum of five boys here 😂) 🖤
