I was diagnosed with bulimia a few years ago as a freshman in high school. I still have issues whenever people make comments about my weight or my eating habits. Even a comment like you never drink water throws me off. I need surgery and I was so worried they wouldn't do it cuz of my weight it threw me into a relapse. I started to look at myself in the wrong way. I started reading calorie labels and being scared if it was over 100 calories. I hear laxitives do work but I fear it won't give me the closure I need

lol

you cannot be healthy at every size. that statement is akin to being healthy while being a smoker, alcoholic or drug addict. Sure you might not have cancer or overdosed yet but it doesn't mean you aren't harming yourself.

U are beautiful and strong

Lose weight slob

Bullshit 😅😂

What I have experienced is that when I don't restrict, I don't have cravings from when I used to restrict, it was all I wanted. It's weird but I love it!!

I restricted for quite some time and its mostly my cravings that goes off the roof, i do enjoy it very much but the craving of wanting more of other snacks keeps going until i find myself eating alot. I dont eat rapidly tho but sometimes i cant control myself when i do try to restrict, i just get anxious so i honor the craving.. and idk if this counts as binging

Did that 15 years ago for a year, and I'm still not recovered mentally and emotionally (freaked out everytime I'm constipated, and obsessive about it). I would love to find other women to talk to, women who understand this stuff, but it's so lonely out there.

i dont have ADHD. at most maybe ADD. ive been on vyvanse for 5-6 months for BED. ive been having phenomenons where i get up from bed and I immediately get fast heart rate, blurry vision slowly coming on, cold sweats, nausea/salivate (i salivate when i need to throw up too). Im not sure why this is but i guess it could be the medication. but the medication truly is helping me because im so stressed all the time i end up eating everything. i am also really not interested in food when i have to cook. i dont eat when i have patients in office because the day goes by fast so i dont get hungry but then i crash at home. im getting help but my life is in such a rut in some ways. i am blessed in many. i want my family in Lebanon safe.

Since i started my weightloss journey and when i didnt go for a few days i would use them and to see how empty i am when i weigh my self. Or i plan on a cheat day i eat alot so i use it to get everything out of me

Disordered eating can cross over into an eating disorder. I have an eating disorder. My mother didn't but she did have phases of disordered eating her whole life off and on. It just never got too out of hand.

Too many mental gymnastics. Nobody is saying you're less of a human if you're fat. You're just fat and unhealthy. Stop lying to yourself, if you put a little more effort your life will change for good. I say that as an ex-morbidly obese person.

I would also advise everybody who has suffered from BED for at least three years and that intensively, to look into SIBO. I am currently dealing with the physical after effects of almost 5,5 years of BED and SIBO makes a lot of sense to me.

I can second so many points made in this video. Among others the uncomfortable feeling of having to explain your issue to a doctor who will react by saying "Wow, but you are so thin.".

This is an incredible video and I thank you for it.

Why would i take advice from someone who looks like she has a dysfunctional relationship with food? 🤔😂

Yes, i can tell intuitive eating works really well for you🎉!

Thank you. Again, I stumbled upon this channel while looking up how to talk about my weight without it triggering me and having the doctor be able to work. I and my dietician both agreed on getting blood tests done to check on my progress. All that the nurse wanted to talk about was “weight gain” and how to loose it. It did not help having my lab results have high liver readings even though I’m eating healthy and enough for myself to feel full. I even asked to not have my weight be shown or read to me, yet the paperwork for my blood test and doctor summary had my weight in the biggest, boldest font. They put the reason for visit (it was a yearly physical) weight gain which made me so upset. Took me forever to even be tolerant of how I look and feel in my body and it made me completely relapse

Thank you. I have been working so hard to beat my restrictive eating and my recent visit to the doctor (who knows about this) that I was able to restore my weight. Nonetheless, the whole appointment was due to “being overweight” (not even 30+ on BMI not that I agree with this system)

How long should people try this? My sister has been intuitively eating for a few years now. She is up 100 pounds. She says she has healed. I don't get it.

I know this sounds weird however, I (a person with an eating disorder) get triggered when people comment on other people's bodies and weight. Is this normal? Because I feel like I shouldn't get triggered. They aren't commenting on my body. Or, if I do say something, they tell me they aren't talking about me. It still bothers me because I'm still hearing about those opinions.

Humiliating im very very thin. I was 38 kg. Threatened with inpatient if i ever dropped again. I lost three kilos due to stress to 35.5 kilos. I was also told i would bot be allowed choose my care untrue. I was so scared i refused to attend the next appointment. Id warned them stress was a HUGE factor. Im now depressed and sleeping badly. I gained 2kg in 8 months but at least it was something!

I get food guilt if I eat an ingredient that I know contributes to disease like trans fats. For me it’s not about fear of looking a certain way, it’s a fear of getting ill as a result of eating chemicals

Thank you for this very informative video. A lot was covered in a short time. You did a great job . 🏆

What scenarios cause you the most food guilt?

This is not true. Yes you can healthy at every size, but you can't stay healthy at every size. Usually, young people are still healthy despite their weight. It's like saying anyone can be healthy smoking. Yes, you can be healthy when you start smoking, but 10,20 or more years later, your health is in serious decay. I wish the best of luck everyone with your health journeys. Don't focus on the scale's number, but making healthy changes, eating vegetables, healthy sources of protein and no(or at least little) junk food. Remember, you got this and I believe in you! P.S the research behind obesity and negative health effects is overwhelming. One study I read, where the previously healthy obese people where checked up on later-to find all had severely degraded health relative to when they participated in the original study.

Give me a number! On a scale of 1-10, how worried about gaining weight are you?

So I don’t feel like I can talk with a professional, when I was 15 I was told I had major depression disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and ednos.. however when I brought the topic to my mom she said I had “munchies syndrome ” meaning Munchausen syndrome, also known as factitious disorder imposed on self, is a condition where people fake or create illness, injury, disease, abuse, or psychological trauma to get attention, sympathy, or reassurance. It kinda made me feel.. bad about myself to hear that maybe the doctors lied to me about ednos but told her I had this, and even years later I’m still struggling with disordered eating and my weight fluctuates sometimes I am happy and other times i truly hate myself, as well as when i watch a show or an episode of the show and it talks about eating disorders i kinda go into relapse mode, I do think it’s very understandable to think I am faking this because I used to go to proana websites and crave those type of things to “motivate myself”

Your video is awesome,But SEO problem, You can add more views and subscribers to your video if you want ,I am speaking as a freelancer

Hi my problem is that I went from anorexia to obesity. I always fear my heart health was impacted by anorexia I was at a bmi below 12 later on I gained weight and maintained it for four years Now that I am recovered for 9 years I am obese at bmi 30. **Is there any way I can lose weight in a healthy way **

What questions do you have about ending emotional eating? Let me know!

I find that I am unconsciously restricting food or types of food when I look back after a binge. I think I am intuitively eating - but really i am still trying to eat less or not eat sugar or carbs or something else because I start wanting to try to control my weight again.

vyvanse saved my life, but man the side effects are rough sometimes. DO NOT DRINK CAFFINE!

It seems to be as a parent, it is better to say nothing at all. From the excuses, it sounds like the person having issues are using other people’s words as their reason. As a parent and someone who has their own issues it’s frustrating and separating my closeness.

Have you tried a keto or carnivore diet for weight loss? Many people have had success with this approach.

I feel my binge eating disorder is a direct result of the fact i have adhd, i seek the dopamine from the food and the reward aspect so i eat far more than i actually need...i struggle to force myself to make meals when im hungry meaning that i binge on the first thing i can grab such as biscuits or bread because its right there and im ravenous and im a sugar addict and have poor impulse control so i see sugar i eat sugar...i find Vyvanse gives me a bit more control over my impulses so i can make adult decisions on my diet such as chocolate for breakfast is unhealthy and eggs and yogurt would be more filling and wont give me type 2 diabetes one day. Vyvanse helps me concentrate at work meaning im less stressed at work meaning im not hunting for sugar in the hope it eill give me something to pull me through... which it wont

What do you consider as a healthy relationship with food? Let me know! 👇🏻👇🏻

Word salad. Tighten up!

OK, hopefully have some tips for me. I can tell you this. I’m always hungry.

It did work for 3 years. 35 lbs fell off and that was great. After awhile my body took over for my mind and i made readonable choices just based on physical hunger snd craving. Then i got distracted and forgot about it. Just lost focus. Havent gotten back on, for more than a few days. In 5 year. I wonder if others experience this.

Brilliant video.

Love this! Beautiful mama and baby. How lucky for your baby to grow up with a mama who has this healthy outlook!

Maybe just a little bit?

I have dieted since childhood. I had two bouts with anorexia but when I recovered everything went the other way and diet after diet resulted in more weight and I'm almost 300lbs. Last year I lost 45lbs then stalled regardless of cutting calories more for a year. Because now I lose control and binge. I keep trying and feel like if I just stay disciplined I can start losing weight again. I listen to Alan Roberts and agree that people have control over their weight but am starting to consider a different approach because 30 years of calorie counting has resulted in me being fatter. I just can't make it work. So I started intuitive eating ideas but they scare me because I gained 15 lbs back. I don't know how to let go of losing weight. I hate it and want it gone. I don't want the pain in my body, the lack of energy, and difficulty doing the physical things I want to do. I don't even care how I look, I just want to be free of this heavy struggling feeling. So that is where I am.

Stumbling block was seeing I had gained weight back at the doctors office.

What would you put on a balanced snack platter?

I have never been a binge/purge person. I don't think I have ever binged in my entire life. Maybe overeaten, but never binge. I have always had digestive problems since I was a little girl. I had problems going back to as far as I can remember being 4-5 years old. I was never and undereater. I always had a healthy diet, exercised, drank a lot of water, and gave my body what it needed. I've had colonoscopies and have been to many GI doctors and dieticians. Some people just have slow motility. That said, I was so sick and tired of feeling sick and tired so I opted to take laxatives as a way to just get on with my life. It really was just for regularity. I'd drink senna tea, take magnesium, and eat a high fiber diet. All I wanted was to be regular. But as the years went on, I had to take more and more. Then I got involved with cleanses. THAT was what messed me up. The colonics and the enemas. Things got so bad and I was desperate. The biggest problem for me was that because of this one issue, it took control over many areas of my life. And that was when I started have food issue. I was desperate to feel better. After seeking therapy, and going way back into the past, I discovered that my digestive system is my emotional center. And that there were things from the past that had created this inability to digest life. There is always a reason for our symptoms. It may not necessarily be that we are not eating enough. It may not have anything to do with what we are eating but rather what's eating us. I agree with this video on all levels; only to say however, that not every person is the same. And once you do literally become addicted the laxatives, it creates anxiety and fear in other areas of your life. YOU MUST GO TO THE SOURCE AND THE SOURCE CAN BE TRICKY TO DISCOVER. But it's worth the investigation. I'm 50 and it's been a long road. But I will never give up.

Why “health at every size” has anything to do with personality? I don’t understand why you start with personality.

I started working out again a couple years ago and have been amazed at how much it improves my mental health along with my body generally. I’m older now so I know I won’t be a super athlete but I do move in my body and the world so much better now! We’ve gotten into a mindset that exercise is for weight loss but it really isn’t-its important for many other reasons though A lot to think about after this vlog ty!
