I just sent this video to my nurse practitioner. She has been very helpful and patient in my recovery process. Last week I was binging but I’m better now. I was panicked that all the work I have done was lost but it’s not. I’m ok and even if I wasn’t okay it’s ok.
@@hollyday2313 I know. It’s so hard. When I was binging bad Ikept thinking I’m just going to give up. Then I would panic and think I’m going to die if I don’t stop eating. I keep hearing her voice saying be compassionate and don’t focus on failing and I would redirect myself. It’s like the more I don’t focus on failing I’m able to pull myself out of the hole. I’m still not back to as good as I was doing but I’m not spiraling. I will get there. I have to believe it and I do. I’m usually a person who wants everything done now but this is a problem that doesn’t work that way. I have to trust the process and believe in me. LOOK at me, saying all this! Who am I? I am healing in believing and trusting myself. I thank God for this therapist. She is truly a Saint in my eyes.
You are amazing ❤ You tell things that I thought were only inside my own head and the relief of knowing that someone else can so perfectly describe what I am going through is immense.Thankyou so much for making me feel not alone. Your advice is worth more than gold to me
I’m a recovering binge eater. Until a year ago, I maintained a large weight loss for over four years. When I started trying intuitive eating that’s when I got into trouble and I gained some weight back. I know this seems counterintuitive, but I’m trying going back to counting calories. I am not restricting. I’m having cookies, candy bars, etc. I’m a senior on a fixed income and I can’t afford to buy a whole new wardrobe
I liked this video because that is how I am feeling. Sometimes I feel like I’m making strides in this now 4 year recovery process. Then I have set backs. I do want to lose weight still but not going to put myself through dieting so I would be thrilled losing a pound a month. I am learning and trying different thought processes. Just hard living in this diet and judgey life I am in.
You are so right, and inspiring me so much, thank you! For me one important paradox is to accept the "unwanted" behaviour as it currently is and telling myself something like "It's okay, I'll be there for you no matter what you are doing". And by applying this I mostly become much more aware of the situation and calm down much faster. This, and the one about eating while not being hungry that you talked about in your podcast!
I really appreciate your content. I have been addressing my binge eating with a compassionate approach, and mindfulness. Trying to recognize my fullness signals, but also being ok with throwing the uneaten food away. The number of little rules we've been told, or made up for ourselves, is staggering and an unending obstacle course. The mindfulness and curious compassion has made some real in-roads. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge.
Thank you, your videos always help me get to another step of my recovery. I listen to each video as many times as I need to in order to absorb the material. Great job lady!!!
❤thx Sarah. What a great video. Loved it. Also really love the blue print course. It keeps working in my mind many days afterwards. I can really take a lot of it on my daily life 💕👍🏻
Who knew that those of us who seem and look like we have it together -- except for our weight -- can still experience a Chaos State that isn't our fault, but the result of dysregulation adaptation that was hard-wired long ago? This is a keeper. "The heart wants what the heart wants." INDEED.
The weight loss is my main issue. I'd like to get better but stopping the pursuit of it feels near on impossible. I keep trying things but I get fearful & end up going backwards again. Sadly, I have a stomach issue (nothing very serious) and its had an effect on my eating. Seeing the weight loss has triggered me. My logical side can see it but my illogical voice is louder.

To not fear bingeing also feels counterintuitive because you feel as though by not fearing it, you will normalize the behavior even more.
I can absolutely understand this point. It's another paradox. And I'm not suggesting trying to feel indifference ❤🩹
Thank you for making me look at the recovery process as a state not a destination.❤😊

That gives me hope ❤❤❤

I’m always happy when I see a new video by you ~ Your ideas and suggestions are stellar! Totally relatable. Thank you!

You are so awesome in how you help us process the thoughts that create problems. Thank you

I don't know that I would think of it as your 'illogical' voice. It sounds like fear and fear will always shout louder than reason ❤🩹

Since watching Yr videos I've been trying to change my behaviour but my gp told me this week I need to lose weight. Help what do I do
