how to HEAL YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD - food obsession, emotional eating, self love, my experience

[@whisperinmyearputmeinatran2852]

“you should not think about food more than you think about yourself” ..it’s such an obvious sentence but it still hit me hard bc that’s exactly what i am doing: thinking more about food than myself.

[@kaylabatterton4640]

Damn. That first line shook me. You’re absolutely right. “Your relationship with food is a direct result of your relationship with yourself.”

[@danifestit]

It hit me so hard that I started crying. I’m a recovering person with anorexia and recovery is so hard. Im currently on my intermittent fasting phase while trying to recover and I’m just fucking exhausted

[@renee187]

“Honor yourself with food, don’t destroy yourself.” I really needed to hear that thank you so much❤️

[@marinacrocker6956]

this made me cry. honestly he best advice i've ever heard on this topic.

[@karianneck7898]

same. thank you so much!

[@sofiaopazo26]

When you said that people eat because they don’t want to face a feeling I had such a realization about myself. The past 6 months I’ve been telling myself I’m restricting food (always ends in binge eating) to be healthy and to love myself when ever i become skinny but now I see that I have to love myself right now, I have to face my anxiety and depression episodes for not liking my body and start a self love journey. I’ve seen so many videos on this topic trust me lol but this is by far the best one. Thank you so much for sharing this advice I’m so grateful because now I kind of see a light at the end of the tunnel. xo :)

[@bridgeoverbridge749]

Hey! Just wanna know how's it going so far?

[@danifestit]

I feel the same exact way. I don’t binge but I do restrict and restriction is literally an addiction.. it feels so good and I can’t stop even though I’m trying to recover from anorexia.

[@urfavblen1309]

"are you trying to numb yourself or are you just truly hungry" bro this just got me thinking so so so much

[@alisonalvarado4430]

i was crying thinking about how much i emotionaly overeat junkfood. i recently lost weight and ever scince that i've worstened my relationship with food whenever i emotionally eat or eat just for pleasure i always feel shitty like really shitty, honestly this video helped so much even if its a person on a screen talking this video not only helped my way of seeing food but it also really helped my anxiety. thank you so much it really means a lot

[@33elena33]

I researched two whole years about eating healthy and getting skinny. But it never worked. And now, this video just changed my life, I can't believe I waisted 2 whole years on researching and watching thousands of what I eat in a days. Thank you soo much for this video, let's feel happy and not guilty.

[@alinaehtesham5773]

this is exactly what i needed to hear. thank YOU so much.

[@sofiaalva7222]

I just realized I don't have a good relationship with food because is the part of my life I think I can control and now I've realized that I can start healing

[@zenbeautyful]

Happy healing Sofia! Take care 😘

[@Soneelicious]

This made me so emotional because I literally started my fruit detox for a week today ate the fruits and drank water then I decided to give in to ordering food off Uber eats but tomorrow is another day I will start again and I’m more determined from watching this video I’m going to look for all other hobbies that distract me and make me feel better I’m going to start changing my lifestyle from now.

[@recoveringintrovert717]

You need more than fruit love. That's not going to make you feel better long term. Add in some fat and protein in there. Help your brain do its job. Anyway, best wishes and love to you ❤

[@isasofia6512]

this was a very beautiful way of describing a healthy relationship with food

[@ni_t_144]

what you said at 5:40 is so true! eating healthy can turn into an obsession and a tool to control myself, as if when i eat intuitively i'll only eat junk food, which isn't true because when i eat mindfully and not out of boredom or to numb, i gravitate towards healthy food! (PS you look like emilia clarke, you're so pretty!)

[@elysiumalien]

I woke up this morning faced with a struggle right away. This is something I have been dealing with for years. Your words are like light and speaking to my soul. I'm ready to end my suffering and my struggles, I think it might take some time but the universe guided me directly here and I feel good about it. Thank you

[@elysiumalien]

2 years ago this idea was brought to me through your video. And 2 years later I feel like it's actually taken root and started to blossom. Without changing my habits too much and really restructuring my inner world and my thoughts I have gotten to the lowest weight I've been since I was in high school. You're a light worker!

[@robotbench6102]

You are so calming, i was sitting here having anxiety because my mother brought home pizza. I have deep anxiety of running out of food and feeling hungry, i was about to cry, shaking and chugging water since i want to keep 200 below my calorie deficit for the day. I might turn to this video next time I'm feeling this way because i just feel so much better listening to you. Thank you.

[@misskeisha4820]

i binge because i used to restrict a lot and it always begins when i eat the first meal of the day and then even when my stomach feels perfectly full i just have to eat more because i just feel this feeling that i have to make the most of the time when i eat (i need something salty, sweet, bitter...). I know it sounds kinda stupid but thats the way it is and i just can’t stop and don’t know what to do :(. I’ve even tried intuitive eating and it’s still the same. I have know idea what that means. Thank you for your video by the way, i picked on some great advice :)

[@oliverkline5240]

your vibes are immaculate. i really need to fix my relationship with my body and food and this really helped me. thank you.

[@sabrinavibes]

So happy I found this video. You seriously said this in the best way. Thank you SO much for putting this out. I needed this..

[@zenbeautyful]

Sabrinavibes so so happy this helped and someone vibes with what I’m saying. Good luck in your food journey, it’s a tough one! Xx

[@ClaireSamuelsVA]

You are the LAST person I would have expected to have a problem with food. I look at you and think you’re one of those people who stays naturally thin by just eating less and not depending on food. I have had SO many issues with food, from anorexia to binge eating and all around planning my entire life around food. When I had anorexia, I restricted for control. When I had binge eating disorder, I ate to try to feel something besides numbness. I was so depressed that I felt nothing and hoped to feel something, anything, by eating food. I’d eat foods I wasn’t even hungry for just as a desperate attempt to feel again. I honestly hate eating food because I don’t feel I can eat normally without making my life revolve around food. It’s so hard.

[@zenbeautyful]

Claire Samuels thanks for sharing ✨♥️ its a tough journey but there is help out there. I saw a nutritionist and she really helped me out. You can also go to the route cause of your distress and speak to your doctor. Sometimes having a professional by your side really helps put your head above water so you can find your way. Xx

[@somancharly]

literally cried, have been doing wrong until today!!

[@cmm5325]

ive watch this video when i feel bad about my eating habits because every single thing you say directly applies to me. the way you describe things just makes sense and it sounds so simple. this is the only time that something that someone says really has an impact on me. you're like my guardian angel

[@Nastya-xz8wi]

I loved this video! I will definitely be coming back to rewatch it, so many helpful tips! Please make more video's like this

[@imperialchalice]

Thank you

[@Natashea]

I don’t know who disliked this video, but this was pure gold! Thank you for sharing this with us all 🥰

[@clarissayanke458]

I just want to say this is one of the best videos I've seen that helps me understand what is truly going on and what the root of my issues are. I have tried to do the necessary practical steps (e.g. mindful eating), but my bad habits and thoughts always come back. Addressing what's going on inside has never occurred to me as part of the process, which has led to my failures in fully recovering from my past. Self-love is definitely something I've been struggling with, and this is everything I needed to hear. Thank you so much!!

[@chadini9246]

Wow you are so young yet to profound calm wise with your knowledge your intuition your teaching. Respect. Salute. Thanks my dear. I’m much older than you yet you taught me something extremely helpful for my SOUL. thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@ivanahuntley814]

Thank you I’m crying right now as we speak and I really want you to know that you’re helping me. I’m on a weight loss journey and the physical part is easy you know working out walking thus and that. But my mind..my mind is damaged and I know a lot of ppl have said it’s a mental thing rly for weight loss and I’m truly understanding that. I had a mental break down and cried my moms arm. I’m 19 yes old and I’ve been struggling and I’m finally taking the time to properly heal. Everything you said about hiding from an emotion that’s exactly true. Before even finding this I wrote to myself in my notes explaining how I use food and that was one of the first things I said, I run from my emotions with food so you’re exactly right with everything

[@hannahcaihan]

I was searching videos about food, and I wish I see you earlier!!"you shouldn't think food above yourself" is what I need to hear!!! Im so sick of letting food ruin my whole day thinking of it omg!!! thank you so much !!!

[@jiyeonkwon4890]

This is the best video I’ve seen on this topic, and I’ve seen virtually every video on KZbin for the past three years. You hit the main point on spot. The cause was avoiding my anxiety, and the problem is not binge eating per say but rather not giving myself all the focus I deserve. I also have a tendency to eat very clean, which may be orthorexia, because I didn’t trust myself enough that I won’t eat clean if I didn’t control what I eat. I think I’ve been compensating that “clean eating” by eating more in quantity. Thank you for this video.

[@zenbeautyful]

I realize that issues with food are super common and we seem to ONLY talk about the extreme cases when in fact anyone who’s suffering in any way deserves help. Good luck on your food journey! You got this ♥️

[@hvnnahtq]

Thank you, so much- i needed this so much, but i only could try fix my problem now. My parents, no-one knows i have this issue, so i cant get therapy or anything like that. You helped me out so much by giving me thing advice, all i can do now in return is actually act on it, act on what i have been taught. It will be a trial and error process, but i have learnt to trust the process and enjoy it rather than focus on the result. all i can hope is to take the errors properly and learn from my mistakes instead of condemning myself. thank you, giving me advice like this is such a blessing. hope you're doing well now!

[@hayaabudaif7585]

so i watched this nearly a year ago and it helped me a lot with my ED recovery but lately i returned back to my bad eating habits and i always had this vid in mind but i couldn't find it anywhere till today and am so glad to be able to watch it again... actually am crying writing this cause i have no one around to help me in my ED recovery am trying my best but i always return to where i was.. i hate myself for it

[@zenbeautyful]

I am so sorry you are going through this. Have you considered therapy? I hear that you feel isolated which makes the process harder but there are some cheap options for online counselling. (Make sure they are certified though) and maybe concidered talking to your GP if you have one? I am sending you lots of healing energy. You are not alone.

[@sofiaciprini761]

Wow. This was truly a revelation. I realised how it always happens that I start thinking of food when I am just super bored and don't know what to do with my time. It's just that lately I can't find activities that entertain me enough to stop thinking about food. But, for example, when I am at school I never end up thinking about food cause my mind is already so full of information, it can't also make space for food. But when I come back to school without anything planned for the afternoon and the evening, that's when the thoughts come in. I want to understand which activities help me to stop thinking of food and which ones just increase the amount of thoughts cause they are not entertaining enough. When I hang out with friends or go to the gym, I don't get any thoughts like that. But staying at home is just so hard for me. I don't find anything really interesting, and to fulfil that emptiness I end up thinking about food. Thank you for sharing this content, i am so grateful. And to everybody else struggling, dive deep inside yourselves to find out which kind of emptiness you are trying to fill with food, I love you and support you from the bottom of my heart.

[@DrFayeBate]

Love this video so much!! Such an important topic and something I can really relate to ❤️

[@zenbeautyful]

Faye Bate so happy you liked it :) take care xx

[@lealoti]

So unique and exactly what I needed. I will listen to this video a few more times to really hear everything you are saying. And also try to figure out what is the root of my problem. Thank you!

[@NeonTearsx3]

Going to watch this video weekly. It provided such insight. I’m trying to heal my relationship with food, and these words are what I need to remember. ♥️

[@misskayatwork]

Chanel thank you! This made me cry, I realised how I've been cruel to myself and my body. 😭😭😭😭 I'm going to do better.

[@matiastoledo4201]

I found myself finishing your sentences. This has made me realize that I do have a problem and that while I judge my friends for vaping I also look for an easy solution to my problems in something outside myself. Thanks.

[@Peaceinalignment]

I literally just binged today, cried it out. this video made me feel so much better,thankyou,genuinely thank you

[@caitlin452]

Thank you for this video - it really helped me realise a lot about myself x

[@molliesibilia111]

two years later and i’m so incredibly grateful i bit the bullet and watched this video after its been in my watch later. ive been navigating intuitive eating after choosing to recover from anorexia in 2020, and since then it seems ive bounced between restrictive relapses and overeating. i needed this video. thank you so much for putting it in such simple terms and making it seem possible.

[@greatjobm]

this made me look at my situation in a new way wow. I knew I was overeating for other reasons then just being bored but I haven’t really thought about it. Thank you!

[@jeannunez5999]

I like these advices I have had a bad relationship with food as long as I can remember I'm trying my best to vindicate myself and make better choices good luck everyone 🙏🙏

[@awesomeblossom4851]

this video helped me so much! I’ve been struggling with binge eating which led me to gain 10 lbs since covid started and I just wanted to say thank you for this 💖

[@Babybubbascity]

Everything you said is what ive discovered through healing and experience. Youre a Godsend❤

[@vanessamclennan1]

Oh this is so true, the relationship you have with food reflects your relationship wiith yourself

[@itzelsolis2166]

I made flashcards of the things you said that stood out to me and I will take them everywhere to remind myself of why i'm eating!

[@mellozz91]

Wow. This was just what I needed to hear. Felt like I was getting a pep talk from a big sister. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom x

[@ellaescoto4955]

I wanna cry but I am holding back 😢 also I love the fact that you are not against healthy weight loss/weight gain.

[@zenbeautyful]

Its all about getting healthy :) take care Ella xx

[@anujash7488]

Girl you dropped truth bombs in every sentence! Thank you🤯💯

[@mikaelaheimer3241]

wow, I love the way you speak about this topic. I've had disordered eating/thoughts for 6 years and in the first minute of your video, I was hit with a dose of truth I really needed! Thank you

[@zimrah4837]

Excellent talk. Cravings also tell you what nurturant you are missing. Turn to God he heals all.

[@ollieholden333]

You speak from the heart, keep going!

[@zenbeautyful]

Ollie Holden thank you, i will :)

[@HisaLight2mypath]

Very helpful.and well explained. I over eat out of boredom and loneliness. I love when you said there's other ways to pleasure ourselves except food ,that really hit home

[@m3marketing756]

Thank you for this . As a guy it’s hard to admit this but I need to get a better relationship with food .

[@mostlysounds8006]

This video made me so emotional with the truth but it’s what I needed to hear … thank you

[@thetorontogirl]

The word "emptiness" hit me... Food has filled my life with happiness since the age of 11 but now I don't feel the same happiness anymore almost two decades later and I can see how it's doing me more harm than good. It's definitely an escape for me because I feel empty. I wanna make a change. I'm ready for a change.

[@danyc2225]

this is the video I most needed in my life, I am so thankful for your help

[@darkmatterg2472]

Thank you for talking to me and sharing your healing spirit

[@Blackbird145]

This was such a brilliant video. You speak so eloquently and everything you said seemed to teach me something new or gave me a different way of seeing things. I especially found your idea that we should be thinking more times about ourselves and what we need throughout the day than food very insightful. This video meant a lot to me because I've recently relapsed into my eating disorder but your words have given me so much hope. Thank you ❤️

[@ninamonti2056]

[@Windgirl23]

I’ve been on diet on and off. Now I’m trying to make 2021 the year where I become healthy and have a good healthy mindset towards food. Today i ate normal food home cooked. With vegetables and fruits. I listened to my body when I’m full and hungry. But my mind still tells me how tomorrow the number on the scale will go up and the size of the 10lbs i lost in 2 weeks will be something of the past. I’m fighting with my mind and my heart.

[@zenbeautyful]

Thank you so much! Im sending you good vibes for your journey with food

[@hannafrndx2286]

I've been home now for a few months (quarantine) and I have nothing else to do than look at my phone and eat😪 I'm not eating a lot but I'm eating often and I'm not loosing weight...

[@aurabellaviper9734]

I feel like there really isn’t an emotion I’m avoiding.. I feel like I’m just addicted to food. Like I want to eat healthy because I feel so so much better when I do.. but when something sounds good even if I’m not hungry it’s like I can’t stop thinking ab it and I have like literal withdrawl symptoms, and then when I eat it it’s like dopamine instant just relief. And then I feel sick afterwards even if I don’t binge. And the more I restrict or think ab stopping eating the things I do it makes me think ab and obsess over food even more…
