I have stopped watching all food videos in order to free my mind from the focus of food. I am 70 and have been dieting most of my life. I feel success in just eating Thank you
Hi! I started listening to your podcast a few months ago, and you guys are the first people to express the experiences/thoughts/feelings that I’ve grappled with my whole life. Thank you so much! I just listened to episode 150 on Spotify, about indulgence and self care. There is one point that Sara was beginning to make that I’d love more support or clarity around. The issue got a little muddled, I think, bc Stefanie (so much love for Stefanie) was really sure that impulsivity was behind any not positive outcome from an indulgence. But, I’m only two months into healing, and I can’t quite differentiate between when I’m choosing too much of a thing or I’m doing good self care. I identify with Sara’s examples of staying in bed too long … sometimes it’s just the right thing, and sometimes, it makes me feel worse. And the same with food. Sometimes I’ll choose too much - not bc I’m binging and not because I’m being impulsive - but bc I’m not sure if more taking care of my self or if more will make feel feel unwell. I don’t know how to navigate that for myself right now. I keep erring on the side of sleeping in or having one more serving and feeling unwell :(. I’m sure it’s a matter of practice and eventually, I’ll figure it out. But, I was hoping for a bit more guidance on that nuance. Than you!
When I listened back during the edit I actually got annoyed with myself for harping on impulsivity so much. I’m not sure what was going through my mind at that time but clearly felt strongly about some angle of it. What comes up for me now is: sometimes it’s not black or white, like something is not all bad or all good for us. In the case of staying in bed, a part of us might be served staying in bed while another part of us might be served to get up. Clarity on this might come from playing with that. Mel Robbins talks about doing what you feel vs what you need - so we might *feel* like staying in bed (serves the part that needs comfort and slowness) but getting up might be what we need (serves the part of us that needs to go to work on time and create momentum). Chronically over serving one part over another can be something to look at.
I am a new listener! 27 year old woman from the midwest. Thanks for putting so much work into this content. It is DEFINITELY making a difference in my life.
I love you ladies! I have been listening to this podcast for a long time and it has helped me so much during my BED recovery!! Great episode!! You guys are so sweet and innocent! Muckbang is a fetish, like feederism, which is why those types of videos get so many views 😵
I can still feel the relief I felt when a doula told me I needed to eat *at least* 2500 calories while pregnant. That’s not even enough obviously in my opinion, but still, it was the only time in my life I felt like someone had concern for me, like make sure I was getting what I needed. Every other subtle message my whole life was “don’t overdo it” - and that always made me feel on edge and likely made me want to eat more 🙃
I had a had time watching what extreme skinny women in a day on social media, when I realise it’s toxic literally.I watch videos in which people simply enjoy my favourite meals now and I find it’s such a cure for me.Eating out with friends who may limit portion size can destroy my mood cause I fall into self-monitoring ,now I simply have meals alone or with beloved families and do feel I‘m able to focus on the taste finally ❤
Thank you both. I work my own recovery and try not compare with others. My journey as a survivor and disabled person means I cannot afford to waste energy on these crazy videos. They don't support wellness for me. - Kim, NZ x

Thank you
You both have a special and nuanced view that is reflected in your content delivery. Thank you ❤
I used to watch WIEIAD videos to compare and try to eat like that person, now if I watch them I watch for new recipe ideas 😁
