even people without ED can't eat intuitively most of the time. Most people eat when the clock tells them to, not when the body does and that culture is kind of awful if you think about it
Agreed! But we can work to change that little by little :) xxoo
I have also learnt to eat at set times, as I cannot eat intuitively due to being on ADHD medication since I was 6. The lack of hunger feeling as a side effect, combined with understimulation, means that if I don't eat at set times, I'll eat extremely sporadically. In this case, it wouldn't necessarily be bad to not work on (unnoticed) cues, I hope
Angela Boersma That's different though. What I meant is society forcing this on us since childhood and children being threatened with punishment if they don't eat up even though they aren't hungry etc. That teaches children to suppress their intuition about food
Cookie Panda I understand what you mean. Also very relatable for me, sadly
Cookie Panda An alternative to forcing children to finish everything is to make them eat a little bit of everything (so they get the nutrition that each of their veggies give). I feel that this is the spirit of what most parents are actually trying to achieve, so it might help to reframe that voice in your head this way. Also remember that you can always put the food in the fridge and eat it another day, so it's not getting wasted.
i didnt know there was a name for this! part of what helps me in my recovery is the idea of "do it like a cat would" which is to say, eat when hungry, sleep when tired, interact with people when affectionate etc etc. so its nice to have a name for it
R Escobar I love that “do it like a cat would”! Going to start trying to implement that myself 👍
I love that idea! Yes, finding your own rhythm. Love it!
Has anyone turned this into a t-shirt yet? 🤑
Sorry to be so offtopic but does anybody know of a way to get back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid lost the account password. I would appreciate any help you can give me!
Last I checked cats eat till they throw up and then they go eat again. 😏
Hi! I overcame an eating disorder about 25 years ago and I'm living proof it can be done! I had bulimia from 16 to 30! I basically eat only when I'm hungry and I don't judge foods as good & bad! I remember constantly judging food as good & bad in my past and my mind was set up to binge on those foods that I thought I could never have like pizza, fries and ice cream & cake!! I listen to my body and stop eating before I get full! There are people I know that have been on one diet after another and it has never worked for them! Intuitive eating may be a little hard in the beginning but it gets easier as time goes by.
"Comparison is the thief of joy." What great quote! ❤️
I dream of a day when I'll realize I haven't thought about eating and food and just concentrate on living. Also thanks for telling us that this won't work properly in the middle of recovery, I did not know that!
And how about now? How do you feel?
@@paty72 still struggling but better, thank you!
I was eating my salad and stopped when I watched this. I was kinda full. Lol
Perfect timing!! haha!!
When Kati said to love your body it reminded me of this quote.
"I would like think my legs for always supporting me and my arms always for being at my sides"
Good and bad are so subjective...you can eat a “bad” food in moderation and be healthy or eat too much “good” food and be unhealthy.
I'm a pretty healthy eater. Today I just had 2 slices of pizza, some chips and some dessert today. I don't feel bad at all. I deserved it. Mainly because I actually wanted it.👀
Its cool to see a therapist talking about this. I thought it sounded kinda weird when random people on the internet would kinda talk about it.
...”thanks dad” 😂
Kati Morton this is a great idea! BTW you're way more than a therapist, you're an inspiration and a voice for everyone! I love how committed you are to changing everything for the better!
Awe thanks!!! xoxo
Kati you also did a fantastic job explaining about high functioning autism in one of the video I saw you had. Here in Minnesota, I got diagnosed with high functioning autism at a place called Fraser about 4 months ago and I know now why I been going through what I been going through. It would explain why I'm very much into IT and computer programming. A therapist here at the buffalo high school told my dad that I was probably on the spectrum but he never bothered to act on it. I'm glad I took the initative myself at the young age of 23.
After YEARS of half hearted on and off recovery- I finally feel ready for this journey ❤️ thank you
She’s like Lilli Reinhart’s older sister
I tried intuitive eating (eating like a normal person basically) several times and it always ends up in a binge after 3-4 days max. Am i the only one? I never ate normally since inwas a child
It may be that you aren't ready for this step yet.. or need to do a bit more of the emotional work first :) xoxxo
I find it difficult when family expect me to eat a meal they prepared after I've been over eating when trying to intuitively eating. But its partly because I still tell myself certain amounts at certain times is 'over eating'. Like Kati said it's just energy we need. And even if we have more than we need/want we still deserve to forgive ourselves and carry on doing what we love in life, unphased
I do this too, I think the major issues with it for me are mindfulness and availability. If I'm surrounded by processed food, sweets, etc. Then I overeat and I feel guilty and dirty (I know I shouldn't because it continues the cycle but it clearly isn't healthy). So if im around supportive messages and healthy foods (nuts, berries, beans, etc.) then I feel better (so even if I eat more I feel okay). The other thing is, I dissociate and don't notice if I'm eating too much or little, so i think doing things like Kati mentioned (consciously evaluating what you feel) would help a lot with that. I prefer sticking to structured eating habits (i.e. I'm in college, so I eat breakfast as soon as I wake up, lunch in my only break, and dinner an hour after I get back to my dorm..... this doesn't work well in summer though).
It happens to me too
Binging is a normal part of getting used to IE. If you give it up after a few days though you won't ever get to experience it properly.
I needed this. Thank you. Been becoming obsessed with losing weight and keep gaining the same weight I lost because I hate dieting. It makes me truly unhappy and obsessive. I eat super healthy but I know I snack when I'm not really hungry. Gonna try this.
This video made me tear up. This is so comforting to hear. Thanks for this, I’m glad I accidentally found it.
As an Asthmatic with flat feet, my feet hurt all the time.
It's hard to love them through the pain.
I am thankful that I can still walk.
Thank you Kati.😊😊
Hi, could you do a video about how to overcome boring and sad days to us who has to stay at home with chronical/invisible illness?
I'd love to watch something like this too! It's so hard to not feel awful when you're home alone and others are living "normally" and most people figure you're lazy because you haven't been to work/ school for a few years already.
Glad I'm not alone about it and couldn't have said it better myself. Well said. =)
Great topic!!! I can get out and do things but it hurts sometimes. I was in the house a lot more a few years ago and come winter, I try not to leaven expect for work. Winter hurts! I'd like to see this very much. I can only say, video games saved my life! Writing is also wonderful as is reading, jigsaw puzzles, Kati's videos and so forth. xoxoxoxox Chronic pain is horrid! I'm writing an essay about it for my course.
Bins: It's sad that so many people is struggling with this but also good to know that we are not alone about. Sometimes I can go out and do errands but the bad things about it is the next day I need a pyjamasday cause I'm so tired of the day before. And some days I don't have the energy to go out of the house at all. I do a lot of video games too. High five. And I do a lot of coloring. Still I can't help but envy the normal people sometimes doing normal stuff. :/ Good luck with the essay. Sounds interesting and it is important to make people aware that we are not lazy people but people with invisible struggles.
i would watch for sure
wow. it’s 1:14am and i’m crying over this video. thank you, kati
The intuitive eating strategies are a little tricky and I really need to go creative to make my future clients to avoid guilty. Most of intuitive eatring is mental. Sometimes when we eat a salty meal (more sodium), it creates a disbalance with potassium so it could make you crave for something sweet
YAYYYY! I'm so happy you're making this video! It's sososososo important. Thank you!
Brilliant video Kati - thank you!
Thanks, good reminders!
Never thought of eating this way. Listening to your body. Very educational! Thank you for all you do Kati :)
Of course! So glad it was helpful :) xoxo
Thank you for this!!
thank you, from the bottom of my heart, thank you!
Intuitive eating is actually my ultimate goal. Unfortunately my ED mentality doesn't allow me, yet, as you said. I'm not giving up! Can't wait to embrace intuitive eating!
Thank you for making these videos. They help me more than you can imagine
This is so helpful. Thank you!
Please do more video on this topic.
I really needed this video. Thank you! So thankful that I found you on TH-cam! You have been a great help for me and have helped me to not be so afraid of therapy and find a therapist.
awesome video! I really liked the example you gave and a little personal insight, it made the topic even more relatable, thx!
you are so amazing Kati thanks!
Very good video. THANK YOU!!!
Amazing video as usual. Thank you Kati!
Your voice is so calm... I love listening to you
What a great video!!! I just started watching your videos a month or so ago, Kati, and I've already taken away so many positive thoughts and ideas. Thank you so much for making these!!
Thank you, this was a great video!! I've been refocusing on eating intuitively and acceptance lately so this was great timing 😊
thank you for making these kinds of videos and talking about it in a simple and "normal" way.
This is sooo true!! I’ve been doing this for a week. Really listening to my body
Thank you so much Kati, really loved this! You learned me so much about mental health, I feel like a different person since I started therapy and since I watch your videos! Thank you very much ❤️
Great advice!!
Your the best Katie! I’ve just discovered intuitive eating and trying to let go of dieting so this was perfect timing 💛
This video really opened my eyes and helped me understand what I’m going through. You’re so awesome and I love what you do keep doing it!!! This helped me so much ❤️
I'm sometimes feeling so scared and just thinking that it will never get better.. And then I find your videos and get some hope back because you help us to stay alive in the worst times.. It's a "tough love" that always finds a way..
thank you
Such a great explanation Kati!
Thank you for this video, very educational and interesting and deffo helpful Katie. x
I know this video is a few months old, but I heart it so much!! Even put it on my FB, and I never post TH-cam videos. Good job!
This is the first time I've heard about this, and it's put into words something that I have been struggling with for years. So thanks ❤️
This video is GOLD!!!
This was such a helpful video, thank you Kati
Hearing these things were very comforting to me
this is such a beautiful video! many people should actually watch this, anyway thank you for the wonderful message❤️ love from singapore xx
Thank you Kati you are always enlightening me 👏😙
Thank you so much for this amazing learning lesson this this segment was amazing I have a lot to work on.
Thank you so much, Kati! I really appreciate it. I'm not sure I can do it, but at least I have a little insight into what it entails. 💚💛💜💙
As a nutritionist, I absolutely love everything you say in this video. Thank you for making it.
Thanks so much Kati. I was needing this video, for me is a reminder that mental health is key prior to any diet or excercise and healing mentally pays of on self image and finally on our own bodies. Anxiety... High Cortisol.. Unhealthy Body.. that circle nerver ends.
Exactly what I needed to hear
Loved this, exactly what I needed to hear 💕
I think this is something I'd love to try later when im closer to the end of my recovery.
Thanks kati! You're amazing!
Thankyou, you are helping me change my life
i needed this. thank you, kati. i love you ❤
This is a fantastic video, thank you. You're so clear and illustrative. I'm not ready for intuitive eating yet but it's so nice to see where recovery is headed :)
Thank you Kati
Thank you
This is wonderful! I'm currently in recovery from anorexia and I can't hear this stuff enough!
thanks i really needed this video.
You are very welcome :) Glad it was helpful! xoxo
I appreciate the principles of food journaling, stating to your body what you’re thankful for, and emotional and mental health with food. At the same time we have to believe that there are things about some concoctions that we call food that are bad. Our hormones aren’t always telling us what our bodies need because there may be too much or too little of them such as leptin and insulin. There are also things like mono sodium glutamate that trick the body into wanting more of the food we know it contains. Diets can often bring balance of these hormones. Intuitive eating is too simple and ignores way too many variables.
Love this!!!!!! ❤️ you inspire me more to get into this field! I currently work as a receptionist at a behaviroal health outpatient community health clinic, being here the past 2 years has definitely given me a passion for this field ☺️
Thank you for this video Katie!!! It helped so much as I'm in the beginning process of ed recovery❤ please do more eating/exercise/ed vids:)
Thank you for this kati, I'm entering eating disorder recovery for the third time (third time lucky) and it's important to remember not to rush ahead i've got a lot to learn and i am so grateful that my body is still powering on after all i've done to it.
just wanna say thank you sooo much..I don't know that there's a video like this..the first video I've had watch, it really made me cry so much..felt so relieved that i'm not the only one struggling with parents with mental illness..now I understand better and know what's my next steps..i'm already so tired filling in other people's responsibility...my parents and siblings. God bless you and more knowledge and videos to come and to look forward.
another amazingly helpful video! definitely going to refer back to this video for support throughout recovery!
Yay! So glad it was helpful :) xoxo
This was perfect timing! I have a past of eating disorder like tendencies, but I decided to challenge myself with a vegetarian diet. Since it's another form of restricting, I was scared but your video came in the right time. Thanks!
Hi Kati!
I came over from Shane's video and amazingly this, being my first viewing of a video from you, is most definitely the video I need right now in my current situation. Thank you so much!
Really informative and helpful video - thank you Kati xoxo
excellent video!
this was so helpful kati! i’m finding intuitive eating to be sooo hard especially when i’m at work because i take ritalin and that totally messes up my hunger cues on top of my ED. I know now that medication aside, i still shouldn’t try to be listening to my hunger cues, i just need to stop what i’m doing at lunch time and go eat!
Thank you for this I’m going to try to do this because maybe applying this it’s way easier to accept eating and being okay with it.
Thank you for this I was really confused about this, you are awesome Kati
So glad it was helpful :) xox
Awesome content ❤️ Thank you Kati 😊
My biggest take-away: food isn’t good or bad.
Every food serves a purpose in our lives.
This made me think of simply having preference based on what I like and my personal intentions for myself. A subtle yet profound breakthrough. Thank you 🙏🏽😊
And... what if all of my emotions have a place and serve a purpose in my life too??? 😉 what if instead of being overly active in trying to control my experiences aka the people / places & things that cause me to feel a certain way, I can simply observe what I’m feeling, why I feel it, and explore the question do I want to create the experience of feeling a certain feeling again or not? (Be accountable, take action to care for myself, change me if need be)
Thank you for your kindness and generosity. This type of caring has been / is extremely elusive. You are appreciated 😊❤️🌹
"We need to sit down, shut up and listen"- I love this so much for listening to our body❤
Thanks a lot Kati!! This video is great. Still working on intuitive eating (read the book a few months ago) and this is a really good reminder to get back on track and pointing out my Ed thoughts when they come through sometimes... 😊 ❤
Love this
Beautifully broken down. I've started to thank the old body for a few things. Seeing and hearing and such. I don't have a terrifically well oiled machine of a body but it's there and it's okay. Trying 'scary' foods is turning out to be quite a delight. My digestion is coping and I'm taking it slowly as my fear is getting stomach migraines. I know that I crave all sorts of things and they are all diverse and wonderful. Thank you Kati! Thank you Sean. xoxoxoxox
Thank you Kati for video. It has help me understand this disorder in many ways.
So glad you found it educational!! xoxo
This was great!
I love this kati! Amazing video as always!❤️❤️ I find it really hard to stop comparing myself to others, but I’m slowly learning to love myself.
AnxietyWarrior that’s good to hear!
I really needed this this week. I just started working with a new therapist who supposedly specializes in ED but told me to cut out sugar to lose weight and she labels foods as good and bad...basically I need to find someone else! But I might seriously show her this video first :)
Such a good video !
I let go of the old therapist who was invalidating me! Thanks to Kati!!!!! The new one is amazing and I'm on antidepressants now (lonafest and rexipra) but now I'm feeling tired all the time. Is that normal?
It could be a side effect of your medication... let your doctor know about this and they can change things around :) xoxo
Kati Morton I will! :) I love you so much!!
I suffer from a combination of eating disorders. Binge eating and Avoidant or Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (I’m also a super taster). I’m now working with a homeopath/PA, who has helped people, mostly children, with similar issues. This video was very interesting to me as I now understand the methods she’s using with me more. I thought she was nuts when she didn’t restrict me from eating the ‘junk food’ I love. It’s the first time I have seen someone about my eating disorders who didn’t immediately take those foods away from me (which always led me to crave it more and binge secretly).
I love this. Intuitive eating actually pointed out a couple of my allergies. I didn’t want dairy or chicken or seafood for years. When I was allergy tested it turned out I am quite allergic to them all.
Yes, writing love letters to our body; what a wonderful concept; once again thank you Kati! :)
Thank you for this. You are absolutely right, But healthy eating is a must and once we all realize that., the better we will treat our bodies
Thank you for this video I really struggle with this especially in dance as a recovering anorexic
I exclusively eat intuitively , it took me many years to reach this point .
I also don't eat processed foods or junk food and eat a balanced diet.
Thank you for the reminders and confirmation .
Angel hugs n Blessings to you and yours 😇
