How to Stop Binge Eating - Part One

[@noonmanji2086]

7 steps summary: Part 1: 1) Let go of intentional weight loss ( restricting certain food groups can make u crave it more) 2) Make time of stillness and self reflection ( journaling, meditation, go for a walk, go to the sauna ) 3) Separate yourself from your binge urges (Observe yourself, give it a name , understand why the thoughts came up, face your emotions rather than numb yr feelings with food) Continue Part 2 Thank u 🙏

[@TheBingeEatingTherapist]

Thank you for your summaries ❤️❤️

Do you have a group on Facebook?

[@jrs_875]

The fact that the advice she gives doesn't even involve the word food speaks volumes about how good this videos are. Thank you very much, you've helped me a lot for now :)

Just had a 3day sugar binge....feel awful. Needed this video ❤

Same, it feels comfortable knowing we’re not alone

I would just like to say thank you. Thank you for putting this content out there for free. I really appreciate the work you put into it. The way you say it makes so much sense to me. It's really helping the way I look at food. I even brought your book! 😊 Keep up your amazing work ❤️

[@TheBingeEatingTherapist]

Sally Lovejoy Thank you for taking the time to comment. It means a lot! I hope you find the book helpful 🙏🏻❤️

I'm newly diagnosed with BED although it has been going on since my early teens. I cannot wrap my head around giving up the idea of intentional weight loss. I've been dieting (with alternating binges of course) for 40 years. Such a mental game! Tips appreciated! I used to think my binging was a choice.

[@sah8923]

It’s been a year since you commented, but maybe it’ll help. I think the key here is “intentional.” I would say that when we heal our relationship with food, we will stop numbing ourselves with it.. bingeing and therefore gaining weight. But when we focus on weightloss, that is the ultimate goal and, for me at least, this has not been helpful. It just hasn’t worked.. it always makes things worse. That’s what the video has helped me realise

[@megan5873]

I woke up today full of despair and self loathing about my body today and your video was so soothing. I’m so glad I found you at a time in my life where I felt more out of control than ever and no idea where to turn. My experience with GPS is that they are quite shaming and never address the psychological aspect. Thanks so much for your ur videos ❤

[@DemureDelight8055]

Sarah this one is life changing!! I usually just watch one video a day but I might have to do part 2 right now :)

[@amiharp]

Thank you so much for your videos. With the limited access to therapy for a lot of people (especially in the United States), this is the next best thing. Your videos are helping me a lot.

[@TheBingeEatingTherapist]

amiharp You are so welcome. I’m very happy to be of help ❤️❤️

[@nicolegoodall8713]

Probably the best video I have seen yet. Thank you

[@ceretbex3543]

Wonderful video, thank you so much. I started my recovery through Never Binge Again (Glenn Livingston) and Brain Over Binge (Kathryn Hansen) which have both been really helpful to a certain extent but your guidance is really putting it all together for me. Plus it’s nice to hear a fellow English voice 😊

[@jodirollins]

There are times when it is the exact right time to receive a message. Your video and this message was that for me. Thank u!

[@taraav6502]

Wow.. I follow you on instagram and I can’t believe how much truth you speak and how this hits home so deeply. Watching this made me quite emotional. Thank you so much for all your videos and content. It really means a lot to me x

[@TheBingeEatingTherapist]

Tara Av You are so welcome 🙏🏻 I’m very happy to hear my content resonated so much with you ❤️❤️

[@chichi9851]

Your videos are so incredibly helpful! I am having a hell of a time getting past wanting to lose weight. Thank you for the great content!

[@ObsidianBird]

Thanks

[@TheBingeEatingTherapist]

Thank you! Very much appreciated ❤

[@rosemaryclarke2348]

I'm getting through trauma and I just find it really hard to eat now. I don't feel anything but I do work in garden and trying to get rid of the past. I'm beginning to find things to watch that I like a bit but not eating. I buy the stuff and it sits there. I have to have noise of some kind now as the silence makes me remember. It doesn't help that I'm pushex to stay in the place where it happened.

[@TheGloves13]

Thank you soo much for all this content!

[@allisonabante5038]

[@cathywyman8103]

So helpful!! Thank you.

[@melaniemcginnis5172]

Hi Sarah, thank you for sharing your wisdom around binge eating, compulsive food behaviors and restrictions. I've been a dieter all my life until I started Overeaters Anonymous 12 1/2 years ago. Its started me on a journey of recovery, now I'm questioning the diet, restrictions, body image and weight loss side of it. I love the community but I'm not sure how it fits with intuitive eating. Can you help me unpack it? Thanks

[@Freebirdshearth]

I feel like crying and I'm only on step one. I am so desperate to lose weight...and yet, no; it hasn't helped to focus on that. I am absolutely terrified by this idea...

[@TheBingeEatingTherapist]

I hear that 🥺❤️‍🩹

[@chichi9851]

It's hard! I want the weight loss. I want my clothes to fit and I don't want to be out if breath walking up the steps. But I also want to repair my crappy relationship with food.

[@jessicabgkelly]

Thank you. Have only discovered you over the weekend. Loving your videos, thank you for your free and informative videos. I purchased your book this morning, I can't wait to start it 🥰

[@TheBingeEatingTherapist]

Jessica Kelly Welcome! I’m glad to hear the videos are helpful 😊

[@tashapatton9037]

Thank you for this. I was surprised to make the connection as to why i haven't actively binged in a while. I meditate daily for many reasons, but never realized it was also helping me with my binge urges. I still overeat at meals and am trying to figure a way to curb that. I was wondering, as I swing between binge eating disorder and bulimia, do these work for urges to purge as well. Its been a while since i have purged(several months) but i still on occasion get urges.

[@suedufall7638]

Thankyou for your generosity to helping others..well done and lm looking forward to following your mindset and skills to help get over the dieting mentality that l've lived by for over 45 year ..so the new journey begins ....

[@77mpp]

You are very pretty and thanks for your advice

In Korean, “Yashik” is late night snack. My Yashik Zombie is super powerful. 😅 You’re right, my brain and my insatiable hunger allow that zombie to take over.

[@judithenglish]

So useful. ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you.

[@ekaterinafilatova8883]

thank you so so much ❤️

good vidoe good on you excellent work

[@raynem2938]

I find the 12 steps amazing. What I don’t find amazing are the food plans in OA. Especially HOW

[@catheriner6281]

Hello, does step 1 work even if you're dangerously overweight?

[@TheBingeEatingTherapist]

The problem for most people who binge eat is that pursuing intentional weight loss CAUSES more binge eating, so it doesn’t work and actually makes the problem worse. Pursuing a healthy relationship with food and finding balance will do more for someone’s health than continuing to try to diet and end up bingeing more. The National Centre for Excellence (NICE) offers official, research-based guidance for binge eating treatment and they state that weight loss should not be a focus of binge eating treatment. Focusing on behaviour over outcome is far more helpful ❤️

[@lindasands1433]

Most people who go to OA don't work the Steps. It's a pity because they really are life changing.

[@Mrslovett007]

Overeaters Anonymous never worked for me. The fact that some members consider a bite of sugary/floury food? I don't understand how that's helpful...to each their own I suppose.

[@noneofurbusiness5223]

Actually The Big Book was written br an agnostic.

[@harryevans4]

Great video! For me the best way to stop binge eating is to stop the restrictive mindset. However the first aspect is identification which your video aids greatly. I too have just started making binge eating related content and would love it if you could check it out and give me some tips😅

[@princesssnowblack]

You have beautiful eyes

[@Invisible.fatty99]

I really don’t like that it’s so religion focused. I was raised without religion in my household and became spiritual later on. But that sort of approach just doesn’t resonate. Thank you so much for this video

[@jerryat187]

Thanks
