Timestamps! 0:38 1. Is it possible to form an eating disorder on purpose? Recently I started tracking calories and am really focused on losing weight. When I eat too much I feel really bad and sometimes try to purge (even though I usually don't manage and feel even more useless afterwards). I think I still have it all under control but... 20:11 2. What’s the difference between emotional eating and binge eating? I feel like I use food as motivation and as a reward. At the end of my days when I get home from work or on weekends I will crave/eat all the sweets and snacks and food that I know isn’t the healthiest and I guess will 24:36 3. I'm wondering how to make yourself feel better on bad body image days? Also, is it possible to ever really like your recovery body? I often find myself really struggling with body image, and although I can avoid acting on behaviors at this point it is really exhausting to constantly hate my body... 33:10 4. I was wondering why I want to get sicker for my therapist. I opened up to her (sort of) about my eating disorder, but told her I wasn't too keen on recovering at the moment and she said she understood and wouldn’t force me. I know talking about it is inevitable, but I try not to think about it. 39:45 5. I’d like to know where the line is between just being an extremely picky eater and actually having an eating disorder? 44:29 6. I was wondering if you could talk more about memory loss & eating disorders. My therapist has brought up that my memory issues could be because of anorexia. what does she mean?? how does this happen?? i feel so stupid because i forgot the slightest things constantly, is this really because of my ed? I'm only fifteen, could this put permanent memory issues on my brain?? 52:05 7. Why is it so hard to let go of the romanticized image in my head of the 'perfect anorexic'? And how can I learn to let go? I'm choosing for recovery at the moment, but only with the thought in mind that I never want to let go fully and am always able to go back to my ED habits. It's hard to let 55:39 8. As a medically obese/overweight person who struggles with disordered eating (restriction/bp cycles), what are some healthy and effective ways to manage weight loss while not slipping back into dangerous habits? I want to lose weight, and I think it would improve my body image.... 1:01:02 9. I am overweight and having health problems due to my weight and have started exercising and changing my diet. I have been struggling because I am becoming very hyper aware of calories and my weight and fixating on people's praises for my weight loss. How do I...
And every time I have to wait for medical diagnostic test results I literally freak out! And when I do get the results they’re never good enough! Or I think…”shit I just dodged a bullet..next time you may not be as lucky! ..you better change your eating habits and you need some serious lifestyle changes!” I lose all faith in my body and ruminate till the cows come home. Man, I need help!
Unless you have an eating disorder past 60 years old, which does also happen. Sadly I think the reason it is quite rare is that eating disorders don't let people with the long enduring symptoms live to that age, most either get better by age 45 or they die pre-60 due to an acute ED behaviour or due to irreversible health damage, but it does happen that people survive to old age with them still going, or still lapsing and remitting. They do start for the first time over 60 sometimes too, just like any other suffering distraction and numbing mechanism.
I developed an eating disorder on purpose. I am a man, and I have severe gynecomastia. About age 30 I decided to lose as much weight as possible to see if it would go away. So I started seriously restricting calories. I’m 6’4” and went from 240 lbs down to 154 pounds. I was emaciated, but the gynecomastia didn’t go away in fact my breasts stuck out further in relief. But I was enjoying it and I couldn’t really go back all at once.
I would love another episode like this… like a part two. You can tell that you know EDs inside out, and it’s always so helpful to hear your thoughts on all these questions
What you said about anorexia people can be restrictive and binge eaters can be impulsive made me think. I’m a huge impulsive spender and have struggled with binge eating a long time. I never would have put that together.
1:02:34 Another thing to include can be asking people not to comment on your body. I told people that I’m recovering from an ED, so comments on weight, whether positive or negative, are not productive. I found that adding this boundary has been helpful in maintaining recovery regardless of the weight fluctuations that are a normal part of the recovery process.
You know what I can’t stand? As someone who has had an eating disorder for 28 years now (anorexia and now I think just really poor nutrition and ocd/restricted diet), I ABSOLUTELY HATE when grocery store clerks at checkout make comments about our food choices. For instance, I buy bananas in bulk (part of my OCD). I CONSTANTLY get comments like “you like bananas?” 🤦♀️
@@plainsong76 I completely understand your frustration. I also try to understand that people don’t make these comments from a malicious place. It encourages me to verbalize my needs (when appropriate), and ask people not to say certain things. I wouldn’t tell the grocery clerk my life story or ask them not to comment on my purchase. I encourage you to just brush off comments from people who are irrelevant. In general, I think people can benefit from being more considerate.
@@MathPiHanan , yeah, I’ve learned to brush off the comments- it’s just an annoyance. The world is a cruel place for someone with an eating disorder because food is such an elemental part of life- people with no food issues don’t think twice about the fact that someone else might have food issues and such comments, like you said, are delivered with no malintent. It comes down to a lack of recognition that people may have these issues- as far as I’m concerned, it’s a cruel world for the eating disorder sufferer for the fact that 1) there simply isn’t enough recognition/education about people like us with these issues and 2) as I said, the nature of our illness (issues with something as fundamental as food) is not easily fathomable by those for whom such issues (very reasonably) do not exist.
Thank you Kati for taking the time to answer these questions ❤️ I love how you directly answer the questions without fluffing it up, but still lead with compassion 💜
My brother and my fiance are both bodybuilders and they both tell me, this is an all consuming hobby, has nothing to do with health. The way they look for competition or photos is a physical state they can only be in for a few hours. Then they go off stage and have dinner or a drink. They are human too, they stretch, they bloat and they slouch. I've seen it. 😊
Hey Kati, thank you so much for answering my question :) I’ve always been a picky eater, but it wasn’t really much of a concern until I started having GI issues a few years ago. Back when my insurance allowed it, I had an awesome team of people to work with; including a nutritionist and she wanted me to write down what I had to eat each day; everyday was: No breakfast, various fast food place for lunch(which almost always was some form of fried chicken and fries), then whatever I felt like making for dinner, followed with beer and snacks. I’m still working on trying new foods, but I tend to eat only various sources of protein and very little-to -no fruits or vegetables. Sorry for the very long comment, but I also wanted to mention that I have avoided eating only in certain instances; in most cases it was because I wanted to avoid my roommate, or my parents after a confrontation.
Kati Morton. hello good evening and happy Thursday to you looking nice it's good to see you again good question s and I'm learning about different mental health issues thank s to you and understanding more about them no matter the question s you always share so much in detailed information your great love all you do for your community 👍😊
Hey Kati, isn't ARFID now an exclusive dx? I only ask because I was misdiagnosed as an anorexic (treated horribly by the way) and it seems to be a typical blindspot in the ED community. I'd have had a much easier recovery if the treatment had been more specific to my condition (I'm avoidant due to fear of adverse consequences) and I hope that you and the rest of the community are keeping up-to-date with the latest and greatest! Thank you for all you do and I hope you can project more about this specific condition in your future episodes.
ARFID Plus is what some experts call it when ARFID coincides with anorexic nervosa thought patterns. I know someone in this situation, their fear of v__ after eating due to a medical problem, lead them to notice that when they didn't eat, their negative emotions were reduced (this happens regardless of the reason for fasting, when you fast past a certain number of hours, and it's not inherently a bad thing if you're not vulnerable to addiction, just as an exercise high isn't inherently bad), and then because people kept mentioning their low weight in a concerned way, they became attached to the idea of staying at a low weight as it made them feel like they were good at something most people can't do (resist food). Mixed ARFID and anorexia nervosa can happen in the same way that anorexia nervosa can be triggered by any other weight loss experience, in other words, like when someone is thinner after an infection or a cancer bout and get lots of comments on it, or remembers how emotionally numbing it was when they couldn't eat much, and they become addicted to one or both of those results of fasting. ARFID-induced fasting can trigger AN in the same ways, in someone psychologically vulnerable at that time in their lives.
Habits and body adaptation is real. Just like in smoking and drinking and with medicine. From that point of view it IS possible. But if you have no insecurities, it should be possible to recover like fairly easy.
I’ve always had problems with carbs and losing weight so I just don’t eat them really. The last five years I had a rash on my face that I couldn’t get rid of then I find out it’s gluten intolerance. The minute I quit anything with gluten my face cleared up! I do have weaknesses when it comes to pastry and pasta so that’s where I just barf 🤮 because I don’t want to gain the weight back or mess up my skin 😢
I'm not sure that eating for emotional reasons is always a disorder. It's really difficult to untie emotions and food. Many people get together and celebrate with food! Eating gives humans physical and psychological comfort. So how can it never be emotional? That doesn't make sense to me and I actually think it might be a harmful sentiment.
I am thinking this as well, and although I normally agree with Kati, this is where I strongly disagree. I think it’s unrealistic to think that we have an eating disorder if we eat too much or not enough at times. It’s the reasoning behind it, and if those reasons are persistent, and we use food as one of the main coping mechanisms or punishment to ourselves. There are reasons why we crave the foods that we do, or even want comfort food when times are tough. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with that, as long as you can get your mind back to a good place shortly after.
First person could have ADHD, it is very common to have depression and anxiety caused by the chronic frustration of not having self-discipline (along with other skills) due to ADHD. You'd have to try ADHD medication for a while and if that gets rid of the self-discipline problem AND THEN if the depression also goes away, you'd know the depression was a normal response to untreated ADHD ruining your experience of life.
Hello and I'm here again happy Thursday everyone hope people are coping ok and keeping stress down and getting by each day the best you can spreading care support and love and will happily offer advice if I can help someone feel even just a little better it counts ❤️
I believe I have orthorexia and rumination syndrome because I throw up undigested food anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour after eating a meal and then rechew it :( I've done this since I was around 5 or 6 but my parents failed to notice the behavior in my childhood and I know there's very little research on this specific ed but there's a theory that it's a sign of an intellectual disability and I have autism! Could these two be connected? Also for the orthorexia suspicion I eat mainly salads, burrito bowls, quinoa and overnight oats anything in a "clean diet".
Oooh, so I've felt very out of control and depressed lately. I feel depressed that my business is stuck. Ive lost interest in fitness which is a big part of my job. I lack energy. And now I can't stop eating. I think it's due to my depression and me eating is out of control because I feel out of control. Inside I feel exhausted no matter how much sleep I get. I really need answers here. 💔
What constitutes as a Ed relapse? Can you have micro relapses? For instance I have had a recent ptsd flare from my traumatic childbirth, and didn’t intentionally stop eating but, realized I have not been eating. And have lost a ton of weight from this. I have a previous history of Ed.
I guess you could get addicted to purging if you do it enough and therefore develop bulimia on purpose. It's hard to imagine how anyone could get the other one on purpose and no one would want to have binge eating problems unless they already do. But I don't know why anyone would want to make that happen if they aren't already like that. So my guess is no. Because if you're thinking that way you probably already have an eating disorder mindset in the first place and are beginning to develop one.
Did you just call me a "latch key kid"... Interesting, i will look into that some more.. Despite having a shit ton of abandonment issues, anxitey and hating my mom for not being there when i needed her, ever, i have never thought of this aspect of my life. I learned how to walk home from the institution myself and later from school myself, and my mom was never home before 17-17:30, she did get me a what you would call a nanny? An older lady in the same apartment complex taking care of me some days, opening her home and heart to me, as i had no other family to rely on. But still with my nanny in my life, i did go home alone, a lot, and just spend time at home alone, alot, at the age of what 6?.. I never thought anything of it because its quite normal here, but, the other children's parents did however give them love and attention when they came home, they spend a lot of time together, where as i was yelled at for not knowing what i wanted to eat because i was "such a picky eater" and "so hard to cook for" and after a horrible dinner time, i would most often disappear into a corner of the sofa and watch whatever adult programming my mom watched (programs like the news, guessing prices on houses, bidding wars, the doctors hour, documentaries about some horrible crime or scam, all that kind of adult tv)
You lost me at having dinner with my therapist. She would have to be hot, wild, and freaky. Which I can believe could happen, and could probably cure an ailment I've got,at that time .
When you say diets are 🐂 💩, you mean weight-altering diets, right? Like diets that are for a medical condition like gluten-free diet for celiac or similar things for medical conditions isn't what you mean when you say that, right?
When I be dresseped, I will say I don't care if I dont eat and i say i dont care if anoxeria will take over. and you know what that i want to eat so baldy but i say no. it so hard because everyday you look in the mirror and see your self fat and not skinny and say you need to lose weight and not gain anymore. um tired of living like this.
Hmm.... I love keto & OMAD. It means I don't have to think about food ALL THE FUCKING TIME. It's so freeing. I only have problems with eating when I emotionally eat. My weight was stable eating this way for years and I had energy until I started dealing with trauma with my psych and now I carb hunt looking for a distraction and self soothing. I am still 40kg lighter and a lot healthier since I found what suited me, but I won't go back to a carb based diet. Every vege tastes better since quitting sugar! Berries are divine, and I love nuts, oil, avo, and dairy/animal fats. No restriction except the amount of protien. Anyway, just saying that for me it works wonders keeping me focused, energetic, and free from constant hunger. But I wish I could stop this emotional urge to open the fridge. Only when I solve that will I consider going back to carbs.
Theory not having enough serotonin in brain has proven wrong. You don't use paracetamol for pain because the brain is lacking paracetamol silly people lol

Thank youuuu
Thank you :)
When you get past 60 like I am, you start thanking your body just for not falling apart yet!
And every time I have to wait for medical diagnostic test results I literally freak out! And when I do get the results they’re never good enough! Or I think…”shit I just dodged a bullet..next time you may not be as lucky! ..you better change your eating habits and you need some serious lifestyle changes!”
I lose all faith in my body and ruminate till the cows come home.
Man, I need help!
I'm 24 an my body is already falling apart. Life with chronic illness (:

Hey Kati! I’ve been watching your channel for years. I’ve wanted to be a therapist since I was 9 years old and today I got accepted to grad school!
Congratulations 🎉 🥳 🎊
Fantastic news! Well done and good luck. :)
Well done!(not a steak…)
Happy Thursday indeed 😊

1:06:01 is my new anthem, love you Kati you crack me up and you're so right about all of the "diets"
I have been struggling with all the different EDs for most of my life - & you are absolutely right! Thanks for your videos, they are very helpful.
Kati, the ending and everything you said made me tear up. I needed to hear this today
I love how Kati gets LIT talking about OMAD. I was kinda hoping we'd see her flip the table, but alas, she's a little too stable for such indulgences.
Loved this video. I struggle w/ a ED n thought this video was very well informed. Thank you so much for all u do. U r awesome 😊.
My brother and my fiance are both bodybuilders and they both tell me, this is an all consuming hobby, has nothing to do with health.
The way they look for competition or photos is a physical state they can only be in for a few hours. Then they go off stage and have dinner or a drink. They are human too, they stretch, they bloat and they slouch. I've seen it. 😊
I struggle from emotional eating which is often called binge eating, but it's to cope with my emotions and stuff.
I emotionally eat too, but right now am trying to swap the crisps and biscuits for fruit and veg

Hi Kati, thanks for another amazing video.
Hey Kati! You are the first person I realized wasn't music from you tube lol. Just wondering about your thoughts with Genie Wiley?
is this channel geared towards children and young kids with eating disorder?
What constitutes as a Ed relapse? Can you have micro relapses? For instance I have had a recent ptsd flare from my traumatic childbirth, and didn’t intentionally stop eating but, realized I have not been eating. And have lost a ton of weight from this. I have a previous history of Ed.

I never thought anything of it because its quite normal here, but, the other children's parents did however give them love and attention when they came home, they spend a lot of time together, where as i was yelled at for not knowing what i wanted to eat because i was "such a picky eater" and "so hard to cook for" and after a horrible dinner time, i would most often disappear into a corner of the sofa and watch whatever adult programming my mom watched (programs like the news, guessing prices on houses, bidding wars, the doctors hour, documentaries about some horrible crime or scam, all that kind of adult tv)
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH CASUAL SEX? MY BROTHER, AND OTHERS , MAY DISPUTE THAT. AT LEAST, OUTSIDE OF MARRIAGE.
Are you kidding me… Absolutely no one can willingly give themselves an eating disorder!!!
You lost me at having dinner with my therapist. She would have to be hot, wild, and freaky. Which I can believe could happen, and could probably cure an ailment I've got,at that time .
If you want an ED ypu qlready have one
When you say diets are 🐂 💩, you mean weight-altering diets, right? Like diets that are for a medical condition like gluten-free diet for celiac or similar things for medical conditions isn't what you mean when you say that, right?
Yeah, she has given that caveat before in other videos.
@@andreafeelsfantastic thanks
Before a bodybuilding show they don't drink water and they take diuretics.Yes bodybuilders have died from that.
When I be dresseped, I will say I don't care if I dont eat and i say i dont care if anoxeria will take over. and you know what that i want to eat so baldy but i say no. it so hard because everyday you look in the mirror and see your self fat and not skinny and say you need to lose weight and not gain anymore. um tired of living like this.
Can one develop Anorexia at the age of 35?
Have had an Ed off and on most of my adult life and at 38 two years ago it definitely turned this way. So yes. Any age.
Yes! Any age!
Hmm.... I love keto & OMAD. It means I don't have to think about food ALL THE FUCKING TIME. It's so freeing. I only have problems with eating when I emotionally eat. My weight was stable eating this way for years and I had energy until I started dealing with trauma with my psych and now I carb hunt looking for a distraction and self soothing. I am still 40kg lighter and a lot healthier since I found what suited me, but I won't go back to a carb based diet. Every vege tastes better since quitting sugar! Berries are divine, and I love nuts, oil, avo, and dairy/animal fats. No restriction except the amount of protien. Anyway, just saying that for me it works wonders keeping me focused, energetic, and free from constant hunger. But I wish I could stop this emotional urge to open the fridge. Only when I solve that will I consider going back to carbs.
Theory not having enough serotonin in brain has proven wrong.
