These are practical tools that I put in place which helped me to put distance between trigger and response when it comes to binging or overeating. I do have a longer intro on this one, because I do believe it's incredibly important to give context. Please let me know in the comments if you have any tools which worked for you xx

Yes to all of this. A saying that's really helped me is "Hunger is not an emergency." Humans can go quite a while without eating and suffer no adverse health effects! Even when your stomach is growling, it's not an emergency. Slow down, breathe, don't panic, take your time to find something nutritious, eat it slowly so you have time to really savor it, and give your body time to tell you that the belly is full. ❤
This content is SO helpful. I really appreciate that you promote therapy as a part of managing eating behaviors, and these are really tangible practices that people can try. I wish more people understood that it's not as simple as "stop eating junk food", or "go on a diet", but there's a major psychological element of it. It's trying to learn a new way of coping with really difficult emotions and behavior patterns. Thank you so much for raising that up!! 💜💜💜
Thank you so much Colleen, that’s a huge goal of mine, to dispel the myth that being overweight or obese is down to ignorance or laziness, that’s an old system of blame and shame, I want to promote that this is a mental and behavioural issue 🖤
This has been my problem, I'm hoping to develop the skills to not emotionally eat
FACTS! 🙏🙌💜
I almost never see tips on preventing binges that actually address the root problem so THANK YOU! Everyone tells you about staying hydrated, not skipping meals and keeping trigger foods out of the house but this is so much more helpful because it targets the mindset that causes binges in the first place. ❤️
Right?! I full agree!
Thank you so much. My trigger is once I eat, I don't stop. I appreciate your help. 💚💜💖
I learned that technique in CBT. 5 things you see, 5 things you hear, 5 things you can touch. Cbt helped me stopped a lot self abusing behaviors from sex to cutting. Food was really the last night that i held on it to escape the feelings. But now i just feel them. I use to automatically reach for my razor. Trigger, razor cutting. Wow. Im proud of myself its been over 8 yrs
Carla, you are such a gift. Thank you for sharing what you have learned and for keeping it real instead of the quick fix. I'm 55 and finally ready to confront my eating behavior. Your channel is a godsend
Thank you so much! x
As I've said to all of this, you are one of the best I've found at explaining the root cause for many which leads to food issues. Thank you for your transparency!
❤❤❤
Thank you! I think this video will be a big help for me going forward.
It looks like you have so much wisdom and real experience of transforming yourself!!! 🎉
This is one of your best videos so far, Carla! It’s amazing what our minds can do with the right guidance. ❤🖤💚
Ma'am I think you are an inspiration for so many people. You speak with such clarity & for many people they can watch you rather than go to therapy.
“Beauty, healing, and new life are on the other side of discomfort.” Blew my mind. So profound. I’ve been through years of therapy and have never had that said to me. I wrote it down as a reference for every journal entry from this point on. Thank you. You’ve changed my life for good 🥹🩵🩶🩷
Wow thank you so much Laura, that really means the world to me xx
Responding instead of reacting really resonated with me. Thank you 🙏🏻
My pleasure Patricia xx
This is such a powerful video Carla! I identified with everything you shared in terms of the emotions! ‘We need to become ok with discomfort’.. your experience is invaluable to so many. Thank you for sharing ☺️
I’m going to watch this video when I’m having a hard time thank you
Carla, thank you for your advice! It's so important to remember that binge eating and food addiction recovery starts in the mind ☺️
One thing I find really useful is making sure I am properly nourished. I noticed most of my binges happened when I was hungry.
I've always been overweight and heavier than my immediate family. I always turned to food when I was extremely stressed and recently I had a massive realisation. The rest of my family are thin and it's because we all have different ways of coping with stress. My parents and brother smoke and my sister drinks. I don't smoke or drink often. My "drug" was food. Once I realised this, I was able to recognise those moments of stress, and take 5 mins to myself with a tea/coffee. I also don't keep trigger foods in my home anymore.
Thank you for your inspiring videos 💗
Wonderful insights Lauren, thank you for sharing xx
This is the ❤❤most helpful video I have ever seen for how to loose weight.
I really like the idea of blocking. It’s so easy to let negative thoughts take over

💚💚💚 Such sage advice. I love the concrete tips and immediate practicality of this video. I can see how these tools can be useful in a variety of scenarios - not just with using food for comfort. Thank you again for another fantastic video!
❤🖤❤️🤗giving myself a hug too!
Thanks Carla, great tips. The only one I think I have consistently practised previously is the self- compassion, to talk to yourself as you would to a friend. But as you say, not always easy, so I like these "physical" alternatives and will try to remember to give them a whirl.
Wonderful video. Thank you. Greetings from Mexico.
This was so thoughtful and kind. I’m going to try each tip. I will manage my expectations to be more realistic when I attempt each tip. Thank you Carla for the suggestions and advice. I appreciate all the help! 🍀🍀🍀🖤🖤🖤
So helpful! Thank you so much 🤍🖤♥
❤❤❤Thank you!

Best video ever both in content and tone! Thank you Carla
Thank you so much Brid!
Fantastic content ! Very compassionate and helpful. Thank you 🙏🏼 from the bottom of my heart 💜 💝
💜💙💚 thank you Carla.
really helpful strategies. The explanation made a lot of sense prior to going through the strategies. Thank you -
💞💝💖💓 So glad I found your channel Carla. I'm beginning my weight loss journey-you're an inspiration.
Thank you so much for these very very helpful tools!❤️
💚 💗 💙 I really needed this video today! The last few days have been really difficult and then trying not to feel guilty for eating a little bit more than I should. Especially since i had a pretty good weight loss week. I will definitely try using some of these tools today.
I subscribed a while ago, but never watched more than one video. But yesterday I felt an urge to look at your videos again. This video was beyond useful for. Yesterday, after watching, was the first time I didn't eat after dinner in years! Today is day two. The breathing technique is similar to a technique I learned years ago to help me center before doing spiritual readings. I've used this now at least a dozen times these past two days.
Thank you! I pray you continue and are abundantly happy!!
Thank you so much.
Great practical tips. ❤❤❤
Very wise and insightful. Appreciate your willingness to be so vulnerable.
❤️❤️❤️
I watched this a second time with the captions on so I could read along with you. I think it made it really sink in.❤
Great idea Kim xx
😢I've had a awful weekend binging xthakyou for this xx
I'm so sorry Jane, please be gentle with yourself xx
💖💚 🧡 Hello Carla 🙋🏻♀️from 🇨🇦
really great grounding reminders...old habits so ingrained after 47 yrs !! don't change over night ♡thanks so much
So enjoying your many thoughtful , well written videos....
would you think of doing another one with your sister Addrianna...those 2 were very good as well
Thank you ❤
❤❤❤ This was such a helpful reminder. I will definitely put these into practice.
💗💚💜 thank you for sharing this. I am ready to start my weight loss journey and really appreciate your inspiration 🙏
Very valuable input 💚🤍💚! I am still learning to recognize the triggers which is really hard for me. But those tools could also assist in finding out why I have been going to the fridge in the first place. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for all that you share, Carla. Allowing ourselves to be vulnerable so we can actually connect with ourselves is so helpful and so true! This whole video (&all your others ☀️) are so incredibly helpful. I’ve recently completed trauma & bereavement therapy and everything you’ve said I can relate to so much. Grounding is something I do a lot and also deep breathing which I learned whilst pregnant. So helpful & calming. I have about 11 stone to lose and you honestly have inspired me to show up for myself when it comes to weight loss, it’s been one of the biggest challenges since I was a child & I’m now ready to be my own best friend and continue with my weight loss journey 🌸💕🌈🥲
I absolutely love listening to you & so thankful for all you do. You’re absolutely amazing and your little boy is so cute (mum of five boys here 😂) 🖤
Such a help. So glad I have found you on TH-cam! Where is your beautiful dress from? X
This so helpful! So practical! I am going to try them all. My hardest is always self compassion. I need to work harder on that one. Thank you Carla!!! ❤💚💜🎉
we all do Sally, it's a daily practice for me xx
Thanks ❤❤❤
Thank you for so much for an amazing and educational video Carla ❤
This video came at a perfect time, you have really given me some tools to try. The way you explain things and your gentle voice has my full attention.
Thank you beautiful lady 🖤💛💜💙
THank you so much, I hope the tools help you in some way, please let me know if they do x
@@HalfofCarla they have helped me!! I am still trying to remember to use them but when I do it really does help to ground me. Also when you talked about self compassion, I really needed to hear that. We can be so hard on ourselves. Thank you x
Your dress in this video is absolutely stunning! 🖤✨
Awe thank you!
❤️ 💙 💜 Thank you! 😊

💛💙 thank you
Hello Carla, I hope you're having a good day. I only found your channel a few days ago. I have been watching your videos from your very first YT video. Congratulations on your weight loss and on the birth of your Son. I have just gone and took the plunge and signed up for the April 2023 10-week course. I found your first few videos hard to listen to because it was as if I was listening to myself on all levels. You have given me the courage and hope to once and for all to become a happy, health Helen. Only got one issue and I did email Body Slims this afternoon to ask for advice but the advice wasn't helpful. I have been housebound for nearly 5 years and I walk with a walking stick because of slip disks and having arthritis in my feet, knees and hips and spin. Could you please tell me what if anything I can do instead of my 1-hour walk? Thank you also for the great advice on stopping binging and all the other advice I have yet to get round to hearing from you, but got until April 2023 to soak it all in, Many thanks again Carla, Kind Regards, from Helen, England.
Hi Helen, thank you so much for your message, Gerard will explain everything in the first seminar, walking is best, but for those who are unable to, a static bike, cross trainer or swimming are also ok. My gp also told me to walk for 15 mins at first and add 5 mins each week, 🖤🖤🖤
❤️💜💖thank you
❤❤❤
🥰 ❤ 💖 💘 🖤 💕 love your videos.
❤
Carla, thank you so much for this practical advice. I have struggled so much with breaking the chain of trigger>reaction. These simple tools that can be used anywhere were a revelation - I've been making it too complicated! Thank you, thank you❣ ❤❤❤
That means so much thank you Janine 🖤
