This has been huge. I recently tried doing a “sugar reset” again, which could be beneficial, but it’s just been too difficult (at present) to cut it out completely. Telling myself “later” or “when I’m hungry and with a meal” has helped!
Changing the decision from "YES/NO" to "now/not-now" is brilliant! Enquire-Allow-Reassure-Negotiate = SO much self-kindness! Getting to a place of SAFETY is key, IMHO! Thank you for your insights! ❣
Successful for 6 months no binge eating, then relapsed! Another 3 months no binge then relapsed! It’s like 1 step forward and 2 steps back!! I need to learn to challenge myself and not give in to my emotional triggers!! During or before my menstrual cycle I get the urge and when my husband upsets me I have the urge! I want to stop emotional eating 😢 Thank u Sarah! I need to buy yr book once and for all 🙏
I get so much from these videos and the podcast with Stef. Possibly the best and most important is that it's reduced those persistent feelings of shame and isolation. My issues don't make me a weak weirdo--just human like everyone else. We're all doing the best we can, and yet we tend to be awfully unkind to ourselves.
I find your work on here extremely helpful. I resonated with your own experience and feel seen. I think what's really hitting me through you and others, is that, my issues/thoughts with food are never going to disappear completely, they will crop up but its obviously the way you deal with them and not act like you used to. I think, my all or nothing brain had hoped I would be able to completely silence all the issues once and for all.
Many people turn to food for comfort during stressful or anxious times. Eating can serve as a temporary distraction or a way to cope with negative emotions.
Another really helpful video. I often eat when I'm not hungry. My over eating is worse when I'm tired. I'm learning to sleep instead. At the moment, I'm really hungry and wanting cheese and pickle sandwiches. Must be the change in seasons 😊
Im so thankful to have found you here, all of what you say is so brilliant and helpful. Ive recently come to the conclusion that i needed to figure this out. And i finally feel i can handle this. The whole concept of " not now" has helped me so much so far. Thank you
Listened to this several times and found it's really helpful. Lots of relevant information. I love the acronym and especially the R. Of late I found it's been so helpful to be kind to my inner parts that are seemingly always hungry especially for treats and just reassuring them that ...we can have, you know something later if we want it but let's have supper first... has been very helpful so thank you for well reassuring me that this is a good way to go, but seriously great work, keep it up! Thanks Sarah❤️
What about people who need to lose significant weight, not just a bit of tummy fat (without minimizing that as a concern), for health reasons, but are caught in this cycle of restriction/overeating? I feel like a lot of these are aimed at people who can reasonably give up food restriction because there's no other imperative to lose weight apart from their own psychology. Apologies if I appear to belittle other people's problems - that's not my intention.
Not belittling at all! It’s an extremely valid question and one that I don’t have a good answer for. So much of what I talk about is from my own experience and having not experienced serious health implications linked to my weight so offer blanket advice on this subject seems incongruous. I have shared a couple of thoughts in this video but feel free to disregard anything I say that does not fit your experience: th-cam.com/video/XT9CnvmXmTc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=C6uzSLvzYUXvIqCK
Brains are so tricky. Mine would always tell me to eat a lot of certain things NOW because I already know that my appetite would have disappeard later :D
Here in the UK it’s rare to be prescribed vyvanse for binge eating. It does happen but not often at all. It does get prescribed for ADHD and can have a knock on effect on eating for people with ADHD who also struggle with compulsive eating. I wouldn’t feel comfortable commenting on doses in a TH-cam comment in case people see it and take it as a medical recommendation, which is beyond my scope of practice. Sorry I can’t be more detailed in my response ❤️
You fucking deserve a nobel prize for this video alone!❤😊 Edited to add: do u also have a video on why we tend to elevate certain foods or glamorize them in our mind. It's like being seduced by a food. But if we paid attention while we eat them, bite by bite, they turn out quite ordinary? I have practiced this on many of my favored foods and the last one to go is cake. But I'll be in trouble if move back to a part of the world where a variety of food is available
Sarah, I was very worried about you when you spelled Enquire like that😂 Had to look it up, never seen it that way (I’m American). Something else I learned from this great video!
Thank you for” you can eat it, but later”🤗

Be you are overtrained and a female with hormones is the basic answer 😂

Thank you. Addressing that sense of failure is so key.
This is the line that jumped out at me: "What is it that I really need that I'm experiencing as an urge to eat?" 🤔

Thank you for existing
EARN is very helpful, thank you. Especially the thoughts about feeling uncomfortable 👍

@@TheBingeEatingTherapist very relevant video, thank you
I got a gastric sleeve and learned about intuitive eating. I've lost almost 100 pounds (was 230lbs, now 135lbs 11 months later).
great video!
I needed to hear this
I'm going to use EARN , thank you. Even though I have built a strong fasting muscle, I am struggling right now.
Very helpful! Thank you
Wrote down the acronym on my fridge ❤
Thank you so much cant explain how your videos make a huge impact 💌
+love your hair 👩🏼
Sugar addiction. Horrible ...feeling the devil controls me. Eatting is never good for you if pleasure dopomine is reacting.
Thanks so much for this

2:37 for anyone from the short
Do you find that people do well for binge eating on vyvanse? Or on vyvanse and strattera combination? What doses have you seen work?
Here in the UK it’s rare to be prescribed vyvanse for binge eating. It does happen but not often at all. It does get prescribed for ADHD and can have a knock on effect on eating for people with ADHD who also struggle with compulsive eating.

I have this video, which may touch a bit of what you're saying: th-cam.com/video/KWXElA52ICI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Ufll_zBMEj59n6Qu
Sarah, I was very worried about you when you spelled Enquire like that😂 Had to look it up, never seen it that way (I’m American). Something else I learned from this great video!
How does American English spell enquire?
Me too! Americans use inquire almost exclusively
not me getting an ozempic ad on this video 😭
wow youre beautifull...good for you
Bc ur female with hormones is the basics answer😂 u get nloated and cravings.
Yeah because hormones = an eating disorder. Shut up dipshit
I went through menopause years ago. Those hormones are long gone.
Try to do some research before you comment
Your videos help me so much I love u🙏🫶🏻💕
