Everyday I have something sweet because if I don't do that I binge eat at the end of the week. This made me lose 20 pounds in 1 year 👌

I'm currently 18 and I'm trying to stop my binge and restrict cycle and you help me so much thank you so much the journey is long and harsh but you make it easier

[@itsyaara4624]

Am also 18 and have been stuck in this cycle for the past 2 years, it’s so hard especially since everyone out age are out there living life, and I just feel stuck and alone in all of this 🥺

[@OddSocksandSpontaneity]

Wish I could give you both a hug. I hope this video and channel has helped you. I don’t have advice for you but you’re not alone at all. I hope you can work through this with peace ❤

[@kayleesmith2051]

I am 33 and so afraid to let go of my control over calories. I was never like this as a kid or teen. This is new. Thank you for these videos.

[@katiesteed981]

I went in to this thinking i just want to eat normally and stop craving and thinking about food all the time even if that means staying the same weight.. but I can see how if i started to lose some weight that would excite me and sway my motivation going forward.. I know this is something I need to keep in mind incase it does happen at some point!

[@joelleweir9535]

3:13 my most recent and most successful weightloss journey was aspiring to eat healthy and not care about weight loss. I've successfully kept 40 lbs off

[@betelehemofola145]

how

[@noelle7786]

focus on nutrition and not calories. honestly just stop being so rigid with your diet. thats how @@betelehemofola145

[@DemureDelight8055]

Pls never stop making videos. I find them SO HELPFUL when trying to embrace intuitive eating. I've resolved to watch one of your videos every day to keep my head on straight about this!!

[@azhotmom]

I am on a path this week, discovering that you are speaking ME and I have an eating disorder. This was the very first video I found of yours- I watched it 3 days ago and I can't stop thinking about this one thing you said: "Why not shift your thinking from, "How can I lose weight?" to instead simply a goal to have "a healthy relationship with food so you can live out a happy life." YES! This insight has COMPLETELY changed me and I just wanted to say thank you for helping me on this brand new journey to start having a healthy relationship with food. You are amazing. P.s. your English accent, long hair and delicate beautiful features remind me so much of the gorgeous actress Jane Seymour.

[@RachaelWrigley]

That's very kind of you! I'm so happy for you starting this rewarding journey. I wish you the very best ❤️❤️

[@noelle7786]

this is what worked for me too!! life is awesome too. I love enjoying food and knowing nothing is restricted. my goal has shifted from weight loss to improved fitness.

[@abstractabby1921]

I feel like i dont eat enough to qualify as a “binge eater”, but i experience feeling out of control with food and having emotional eating. Does this still relate? I feel like I’m constantly going crazy. Especially because I am in a bigger body naturally (when I was in my food restriction days and lost 10 pounds, I was borderline hypothyroid and malnourished but still considered overweight/obese on BMI)

[@lelethulukhozi9429]

Omg I relate to this so much! I generally don’t even eat a that much, but I have this looming guilt when it comes to food and I can’t make it go away 😭. I always feel guilty whenever I eat and constantly have to fight the urge to starve myself…good and Weight loss is literally all I think about 💀

Idk if it can help, but I was really helped by the book: Overcoming Binge Eating by Dr. Christopher G. Fairburn. It’s a workbook that can be used in conjunction with a therapist or on your own. I understand it’s literally prescribed in UK as a BED treatment program. In any case, it taught me a wealth of info regarding the disorder and to get back to the initial comment… there are different types of binges. An objective binge and a subjective binge, but it’s important to remember that all EDs are at their core mental disorders so honor your personal experience bc it’s all relative and relevant if you want to regain your sense of self and get your life back. I cannot recommend the book enough; it’s been pivotal in my life. It’s a long road but I wish you all the best. Lots of love, light and health… you deserve them all ❤

[@iheartsnax]

My dietician said a binge is how you feel about the experience. Just because we may not eat a quantity that registers clinically doesn’t mean we aren’t bingeing.

[@sana_27480]

She's so right. I can relate to her 100%

[@kelseydeannap1718]

Thank you for sharing your story & knowledge. I'm trying not to care if I lose weight, but I don't fit in any of my clothes and I really don't want to have to buy new clothes for this summer. For now, I'd be thrilled if I could fit back into my shorts. I'm trying to find fun things to do everyday that also involve some movement, and focus on fueling my body rather than eating for fun or fulfillment.

[@MsGaow]

Love that this is under 10 min ❤❤

[@hayhaymarie5410]

My name is Hailey, I just had a binge 30 minutes ago as you read this. I’m so mad at myself for doing this and I just want to stop. Can you give me advice to not feel the urge to restrict the next day? (Thank you for posting this video, it gives me an inspiration to change.)

[@lexynape5573]

[@lukecarey613]

My hero. Thanks for the encouragement.

[@iamsomeone8266]

i feel like if i dont over eat past satiety, then i will become very unhealthy. I therefore always eat past this, and i constantly hate it. I do care for weight, however i also eat releatively healthy, not rlly into junk food. My fear is that i will lose too much weight have gone through oethorexia, its horrible. Sometimes i fear gaining too much stomach fat, but then sometimes i fear getting too thin. I just am confused and stuck, it stresses me out and then i feel like i binge, which i do bc i eat past satiety

[@coldleif]

Have you done any videos on how things like food sensitivity’s come into the mix? I have developed certain food fears because of having acne and being afraid that certain food groups like dairy will break me out.

[@helenmccormick2506]

I love your makeup! Would you consider doing a tutorial?

[@RachaelWrigley]

That's very kind of you. I use under eye concealer and mascara only as I never learned how to do make-up! It would be a very short tutorial 😅 But I appreciate the compliment ❤️

[@happybubblemanfan]

I just recently started binge eating- I used to have a good relationship with food but it just started spiraling out of no were

[@isa-lk4lj]

All I can say is... You're not alone

[@reyannnassar3462]

Thank you for talking about this! You’re very brave.

[@orangesnowflake3769]

I am not a binger and i tend to eat quite healthy foods but i tend to eat too large portions. I had lost 14 pounds over a year but i gained back 4 over christmas. I think my goal is to reduce my portions by maybe 1/4

[@Sunshine-wj6be]

What do I do if I know I am not happy with my natural setpoint? I've had a very good year with food a couple years ago. But honestly looking in the mirror I felt terrible about the way "food freedom" made me look

[@Sunshine-wj6be]

I'm in a terrible place right now, full on binge and restrict but I also dont want to go back to that time

[@RachaelWrigley]

I hear you. Have you considered doing the body image and confidence work?

[@Sunshine-wj6be]

@@RachaelWrigley I am trying and I know its the right step, but I just can't seem to make it work. There is so mich pressure to stay slim. I am afraid that being at least a bit more chunky could cost me my career and everything because people tend to take skinny and fit people more serious. I know this is ridiculous but I just can't get this out of my head

[@MistressHalle-bo7vt]

Not ridiculous, I feel the same. I think to each his own life is up to you. Have a healthy relationship but if you prefer yourself a bit slimmer, that’s okay too .

[@mirchen01]

Thank you for talking about this ❤️❤️

[@itsalwayshalloweenexceptwh5118]

I read somewhere that if I don't accept a future where I may stay fat forever then I'm never going to recover from my ed. Do you agree with that? I might be able to accept being a few kg overweight forever, but not obese. Just can't accept it. To me living in an obese body is almost as torturous as having an active restrictive ed and all of the side effects that comes with (weak, malnourished, other physical ailments). I was reverse dieting to get my metabolism up after a long period of restriction and that was working very well for me (eating more calories, eating more protein, hardly any weight gain), but then for a few months in 2022 I engaged in stress eating and gained 7kg and became overweight. I was able to stop the stress eating and dropped 3 to 4kg by continuing my plan. Then I got into a financial pinch due to the energy prices and started getting help from the food bank. I was unable to adhere 100% to my plan (food bank had very few foods on my plan, so I decided to compromise for the sake of finances, I just count calories now, less concerned with macros and food quality) and I gained back those 3 to 4 kg and before the end of 2022 was back to where I left off after the stress eating. I started working out in the beginning of 2023 as well but the number on the scale just went up. I'm now 10kg heavier than I was at the start of 2022, and getting into obese territory.

[@roxanacucu3860]

Get your cortisol checked, it might play a role.

[@itsalwayshalloweenexceptwh5118]

@Roxana Cucu I expect I always have some degree of elevated cortisol, I also don't know what I can do with that knowledge if I get it tested. Not that I could get it tested at my request, the Dutch system doesn't work like that. The good thing right now is that I have started tapering off the food bank which means I'll have more choice in what's in the house and will have to compromise less, my weight also isn't going up anymore. In 4 months I won't be using the food bank at all anymore, so I'm expecting my weight to start going down when I don't have to compromise at all anymore.
