We love Sarah! Do not ban her. We need her. She is helping mass people and will help more and more of us!
🤣 I’m making it work!
Yess bc of the restrictions i had to change my age. Im 17 and im not going anywhere!!! Sorry youtube, ill watch all of her videos 🤹♀️ 😎👨💻
I don't eat enough and I do binge once I get to eating more. Yeah, anxiety eating. Never learned how to cook much and bored of what I eat. I also worry about money because I don't have much and prices keep going up. I hope to learn how to pick up enough groceries to last me one week and be secure I can feed myself each day. If I can do that I'll see how how much it costs me and focus on healthier eating later.
This could not have come at a better time. Decades of binge eating and still trying to sort myself out, still veering between one last diet and ditching the diet mentality. As I sit here listening at 1am, feeling so ill from todays binge eating which I think will prevent me from leaving the house tomorrow morning to go on holiday, due to the effect it's had on my stomach (sorry tmi!), I feel once again that I HAVE to get better. I'm 61 and the realisation that I have been binge eating longer than I have not is so upsetting. Once again Sarah, thank you for all the content x
I am watching this video every morning to remind myself how to eat.. the black or white thinking, perfectionism vs rebellion, that’s what leads me to bingeing. This video is a great reminder that a calm balance between the two is what’s going to rid me of this horrible eating… problem? Lol
I never realized this was connected to binge eating, ive always struggled with this and after watching other videos of yours i realized that i have many traits and habits of binge eating
This is the second video I've watched on your channel and I am amazed at how helpful and practical your content is. I was in an eating "problem" group therapy for over 20 years and we NEVER talked about what you are talking about! Intuitive eating was encouraged but we never had any help with that, no road map. So it just ended up being, eat what you want and get used to being fat. My personal experience (that I discovered completely on my own) is that when I limit my carb and sugar intake it helps me from binging. That's just me. I also cannot have just one cigarette but I know people who can. But the cycle of perfectionism and failure is still repeating itself, which is why your content is so helpful. Thank you.
I’m glad my content is helpful for you ❤️❤️ In terms of the sugar/low carb thing, I would love if you would consider watching this conversation. In my opinion it is the best episode we’ve ever recording and speaks to what you’re talking about: th-cam.com/video/HmtkFgG8AnY/w-d-xo.html
I'm so sorry to hear about that TH-cam restrictions issue! That sucks! It pains me to learn that the great content you put out for people will not be visible to everyone in need :/ I really hope this doesn't discourages you to keep adding videos.
I stopped the video to put down this comment but I'm really glad you covered this topic. Two weeks ago or so I decided to try intuitive eating and I did my first grocery run after at least 15 years of constantly being on a diet or thinking I should be. I was very enthusiastic when I was leaving for the supermarket - at last free to get anything I want with no guilt! However as soon as I saw the chocolate and cookies aisle I got really confused. I stood there for like 5 minutes trying to make any decision on what to get, completely paralised :D The shop was closing soon so I retracted in resignation thinking "I'll try again next time". I had no idea how weirdly difficult knowing what I actually want is going to be, at least if it comes to formerly "bad" products. I'm taking the intuitive shopping one grocery run at a time ;P
Thanks again for your videos!
I heard about the new YT restrictions and wondered how you might be affected. I know where they're coming from, but your content doesn't encourage risky behavior. It's sad.
Thank you for your calm gentle voice recentering me in my food decision making. I hadn't realized that I had gotten a little frenetic over food choices (A lot of "shoulds) and you brought me back down. I LOVE your acronym. Short and sweet, easy to remember. That's for me. GOLD!
I wonder if you realize the difference in you and your comfort level here in this video to your early ones? You have so much more confidence now, and your humor is wonderful. I know it must have been frightening at the start to say and do just the right things. What a pleasure it's been being witness to your growth.
Thank you for this video.
Hi Sarah. The whole process of making food decisions is traumatic for me, from checking what I need to buy and what I already have (I mostly skip this part and end up with waste 😔) to the actual shopping, online mostly but then I get frustrated so quit or forget to check out because I’m overwhelmed, to deciding what’s for tea, usually last minute leading to poor decisions and binges because there’s nothing suitable/quick and by then I’m exhausted from chronic pain and fatigue.
I actually detest food. I wish it didn’t exist. I feel resentful towards it. I just don’t know how to make peace with food. I watch all your content, listen to the podcasts, yet I’m still struggling to dip my toe into recovery. 😢
❤️🩹❤️🩹 I created this video at this time as it’s also what I need to hear right now. Recipe boxes have been my life saver to help me with all of the reasons you listed. Being in NYC has thrown everything out of the window and making calm decisions has not always been easy.
I hope you can find a way to get some rhythm and regulation ❤️❤️
@@TheBingeEatingTherapist it can be really jarring can’t it, to have this real visceral hatred for something that we need to stay alive. I’ve used recipe boxes a few times in the past, I usually cancel after the promo periods though 😬 I do love them though as they do take away the decision making fairly substantially. Plus my 13yo daughter has shown an interest in cooking so maybe I can get her on board with it!
Hope you’re enjoying NYC and it’s not too overwhelming. 😍😍
her eyes and t-shirt match!! she's beautiful 🩵
If Sarah was advertising her t-shirt this would be a wonderful comment and you’re a lovely person to spend the 2 mins it takes to tell her that but she’s talking about binge eating and it stems from body image and how others people opinion on our looks impact our eating. I just noticed so many comments regarding Sarah’s looks and just feel strongly about reminding people the bigger issues here.
@@tenielles4623 i wasn't meant to do that. I love Sarah and just wanted to share my opinion. Sorry if it made u feel bad. I can relate to that body image issue..
I was thinking exactly the same about Sarah's eyes 😊 I don't see anything wrong about saying it in a respectful way. I know You love and respect Sarah. I've read your comments before. Your last comment was "Today I didn't go to school, so I can watch this video peacefully" I think you commented something like that on the last LAD (Life After Diets) video. I remember your comment because you made me smile when I read it 😊, because you sounded really determinated to enjoy the video. I hope you peacefully enjoyed that video as well as I did enjoyed.
@@Andy-fy2kz Andy, thanks for this lovely reply ☺ it lifted my mood
Alsoo - even i thought for sec 'was that my comment??' - You made me smile!!! Ofc i enjoyed the LAD episode🐣 as always
@@echoiswatching I am glad my comment lifted your mood! I love LAD episodes ❤❤❤❤
I appreciate your down to earth practical advice. Thank you! After years of OA and different diet strategies just common sense for an overeater. Thank you
I clicked this video because was hungry and wasn't sure what to eat. I was worried that I was about to ruin my day. I ended up eating cookie dough, but guess what... it felt OK!
I made a calm decision about it, and I didn't overeat. I had some, and then I felt satisfied. Can you believe it? No guilt no shame, and no feeling of the day being ruined! Thank you so much!
My God! Sarah, you have a golden creativity to make acronyms G.O.L.D. ❤Loving it!
This channel is gold too. Thanks for this video.
Your videos are helping me tremendously. You're SO right on. What a great blessing you are. I hope that you too feel the peace and hope that you bring to others by being you ans sharing your wisdom 🎉❤😊
For some who has suffered with bulimia binge eating pretty much all my life on and of. You really are incredible!! I definitely still relapse find with your advice things are less intense. More better days 😘🤲🏽🙏🏽
Thank you you didn't just give me inspiring feedback on eating but it helped me remember I'm in control of my life and testing things but to remember to give myself feedback and learn from it will build my trust I use to think like that alot more but got lost on the way I really do appreciate it💯♎️♎️
I've learned to ask my body what it wants, and then go through the list of available foods, and feel what each thing feels like in and around me; is it light or heavy? Light is a YES, and heavy is a NO. ❤
I really struggle with choose overwhelm and decision paralysis, i am currently waiting for adhd diagnosis. This was reallu helpful.just wanted to add this is ur most helpful
This video is just what I needed it today 💆💆💆.
You are amazing and sooooo spot on with your words! So so helpful. Best most informative information I’ve listened to on TH-cam. Thank you ❤
1:13 sounds like a Black Mirror episode
Love it
Your videos are really inspiring. Keep up the amazing work 😊
Thank you! This video made me cry, but in a good way that I can't explain. It's realizing what happens to me and being sad and relieved at the same time. Unfortunately knowing what makes me binge doesn't help me not do it. The bad voice is stronger than the good one. I hope mindfulness will eventually change me. I've been trying to do it for 3 years - watching Eckhart Tolle and Allan Watts. But I believe in this wisdom and I will not give up.
You can actually appeal to TH-cam and ask them to reconsider restricting you. I once had my BED recovery account removed because of guidelines, I appealed and got it back
You can't speak to anyone or make a specific case with TH-cam. I have previously appealed certain videos being restricted (such as my book, that was a blow when that got restricted) and just been rejected.
Yes but this helps a lot of us. Xx
3:46 I like to say "Food related ____" since the word 'eating' is descriptive, it may be easier to attach it to something else. Food related stress, food related problems, conflict trauma etc.
Offering the phrases that resonate with you is very helpful. Thanks! 🙏🏻
@@TheBingeEatingTherapist
Quick question, do you have any advice for what to do if other people are making you feel restricted?
I normally do great if I fast, but on a recent down swing, my family has decided to intervene with '3 square meals'. I have found myself emotionally eating after each meal, because the calories are adding up, but I'm not satisfied because the experience of self reliance and calmness is not there. It's like I'm being stopped, checkmated out of helping myself, and getting pushed/set up to rebound in a completely new wrong direction.
@@densedecisions4568 You’ve been encouraged to go from fasting to 3 meals a day, which sounds like the opposite of restricting to me (?) I’m not sure I fully understand the situation, but what pops to mind is how black and white thinking makes it seem ‘easier’ to fast than to eat regularly. Three square meals, plus snacks if required seems wise to me. Your question alludes to some emotional eating after meals, which feels like a different question altogether.
@@TheBingeEatingTherapist I will likely need/crave (Not physically require.) because of the breakfast both don't support my health or my mental health.
It keeps me in a cycle of every meal being for two reasons: People pleasing/being spineless>>>Coping with the former
The 'restricted' feeling comes from sitting down for a meal because I couldn't say no. A surplus of calories, but a deficit of intellectual autonomy.
As long as the emotional eating keeps getting triggered, my health, appearance (literally, bloating) and therefore ability to stand up people because they can (genuinely or gaslightingly, makes no difference.) claim they're helping.
It's like having a car accident because of a backseat driver, but the backseat driver hasn't had an accident, and therefore is more qualified to decide what to do.
Hi Sarah, just found ur channel and thanks for your content. Can you also talk abt binge eating behaviour in the context of addiction? If I understand correctly, ur approach is more of allowing/ giving permission to foods VS Dr Anna Lembke approach of dopamine abstinence… which made me confused. Thanks in advance
I’ve got two videos for you in answer to this… th-cam.com/video/AfEBQlnfAXo/w-d-xo.html
And this th-cam.com/video/JBPzc4kujGg/w-d-xo.html
Interested in your thoughts…
✌️
Ironically your refrain from the word di**rdered made me come up with how I describe it for myself. And I found that unbalanced and balanced eating fits better for me.
I’m glad it facilitated a more helpful way for you to conceptualise your eating ❤️❤️
Hi Sarah, same youtubers are tired about the way Ytube choose what is right and wrong content. Some of them have a back up aplication, like Twitch, for example, to show their videos. Apparently, youtub is turning in a 'my way or my way" application every year. Where is freedom? who decide what is right content? some youtubErss are starting to ask that about YT.
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll check out Twitch. I've heard of it but don't know anything about it..
@@TheBingeEatingTherapist I recommend you to talk with a person with some knowledge about apps or best apps. Having a back up, involves time and effort. So if you decide to do it. Choose the best app in europe or at least in your country. I hope you have a lovely Saturday with steff and the community.
Hi Sarah, I’m so concerned that every advert in your videos are for weight loss 😢
I know! TH-cam has control over this and it’s so frustrating 😡
@@TheBingeEatingTherapist I thought as much!
Well, back in November I finally gave in and decided to pay for Premium TH-cam, it's SO WORTH THE £12 per month 😮 NO MORE ADS!!! NO MORE ADS!!!! 🌞
Wow, she gets restrected but Euginia Cooney who “works out” with skeletons in her hand does not xd
😏
