The most unfair part of an eating disorder is that food doesn't look the same anymore. It turns into numbers on your phone or puke sitting in youe toilet bowl or an extra workout or just pure guilt

[@imiexo5424]

i really wish well for you, from personal experience I've learnt that it can often take a lot of time before you are mentally prepared to battle your disorder. one of the things I found to do was surround myself with people 24/7, which would force me to not binge and purge. i know you can find the strength to recover, its deep down inside but you will find it one day if you keep on battling :)

[@ninka1854]

Try to eat more throughout the day. Even if it means that you’ll put on a little weight. JUST TRY IT. I’ve never had a problem with binging, but i was eating too little and was afriad of weight gain. Slowly i started eating more and more and told myself that “if i won’t like to eat normally, i can get back to where i was before”. May sound a bit crazy/mentally not ok, but the more i ate, the more relaxed i’ve become and now i’m in the state where i don’t think about food. Crazy right?😅 also going for a walk and listening to podcasts/music helped me, so i wasn’t always thinking bout myself. So main points: Eat more, walk more😋😄 and i wish you the best!!!❤️

I know my reply is 7 months old, and I really wish you are getting better in the past 7 months. I had exactly the same experience for years. Just try to eat healthy, like what the video say don't try to take things out, just add healthy elements to your diet. Overtime you will be sick of processed foods, now for me almost any sweetened cereal is too sweet, and last time I had donuts was at the specialty store about a few months ago. I learned to enjoy real foods, and life just got so much better. Be mindful when you are eating, trying to enjoy the taste especially when you are eating real whole foods like fresh fruit and home cooked veggies. It took me a few months to get over the binge eating cycle, and I would say at least a year to completely recover from it. Now from time to time I occasionally overdo on corn chips or some other things but that's completely normal. Try to enjoy your food, don't let it be some filler that you use to fill your emotional void. Life is still beautiful, i believe in you, and I really wish you well. Be nice to yourself, love yourself, love real food. Wish you the best!

[@hkale7946]

It took me 24 years to learn how to be kind to my body. Throughout the years I would go through phases of crash diets and then the polar opposite. I was so addicted to carbs and sugars. Two months ago I found the strength to eat right and work out. This has been the hardest obstacle in my life and I am finally becoming the person I want to be. Sending nothing but love to those struggling.

I just want to be happy. I don’t know how to be healthy. Édit: two years later. Wow. Things have changed and not for the better, but my mental state around eating has improved so so much. Now I eat without guilt, and I finish my meals. I’m not going to say it gets better, because everyone here has already heard that. But I will say don’t give up.

If I may add a suggestion that really helped me, order some cook books and find recipes you really enjoy. Once you start making your own food even if it’s just dinners, you start to learn and know what’s going into your foods. It gives you feelings of achievement and control instead of guilt. You can do it!

[@lillylivingston6591]

with an eating disorder, food is no longer a fuel, it's just a reminder that you'll never be perfect. Every time your stomach rumbles, it hurts so much. Like you can get over a disorder but it'll always be part of you and it hurts that you can't just eat that one cookie without feeling guilt.

[@aromkee]

Its not about "I had one biscuit I minds well have the whole pack" Its more like "I cannot stop myself with just one, I have to eat them all until they are gone - I adore the crunch, flavor, texture and cannot stop." Its better just to not even open that pandoras box at all. The emotional, and physical pain is not worth it, but it is still a trap of obsession of foods that harm my body either physically or emotionally. I don't like the shape of my body that my body likes if that makes sense. Body dismorphia, food allergies and obsession with food - the struggles are so real....

Let yourself eat those foods more regularly, put them into your daily diet, eat them when you want them, let go of all of your food rules and really just let yourself eat whatever you want. As well, you have to let yourself enjoy the pleasure that food brings, food is meant to be enjoyed, but at the same time, find pleasure in something else than food. In activities, in people, in yourself.

And not to forget every doctor turning me away because "im not quite skinny enough" to be accepted into treatment until I literally had to be hospitalized. Thank you fo this talk I think it might help :)

[@Adam-jo3tr]

I wish everyone in the world could see this video because she's so right. As someone who used to be overweight and would struggle and switch between restrictive eating and binge eating, the answer I have found, just as Lambert said, is to eat in the grey area. For what it's worth, I think it's also worth mentioning that it's so important to have an internal source of happiness that takes precedent. So many people go on diets because they compare themselves to others and feel bad, when in reality, those who truly love themselves feel no reason to compare themselves to others. Just as she said, respect your body, love yourself, and know that everything in moderation is they key. Well said by Lambert, truly.

[@pinkfairy1557]

I think major part she skips over is the relationship between mental illness and food. I have depression and when those months hit, I literally sit in bed all day and eat junk food even to the point of feeling sick; then I feel terribly guilty, but it sadly becomes the only thing I look forward to in life. Then when I not depressed, I actually exercise, only eat when I'm actually hungry, and have the mental energy to make healthy choices. As a result, I end up losing weight and going back to my setpoint weight. Living with any mental illness is incredibly hard; it affects every aspect of my life from motivation to happiness to food. It's the biggest reason for my terribly inconsistent relationship with food.

i havent had a healthy relationship with food since i was 12. Its been a hard 4 yrs in terms of food.

[@MissVasques]

She has the right idea the tricky part is me implementing it. I was slim but got there and stayed there by eating a lot less, moving a lot and having cycles of eating guilty things then superstrict. When I moved far from home to go university and food was money and I had no car and rarely found it economically smart to take a bus etc. Still back then trying this and that with shakes and pills to add a burn. I stayed there by constantly being my own bully and eventually when other things in life crashed I more and more let go of restrictions, felt free and a little happier... Until I packed on weight and haven’t gotten back down to slim for years.

[@Brandy_j5]

I really enjoyed this. I’ve struggled with body image and my weight since I was in middle school. During COVID, I lost almost 50lbs and gain the weight back within a year.

I have the same problem. I was on a diet for 7 years. Every single day I struggled with myself. One day I ate healthy food, for the next day I ate fast food and blamed myself too much because I couldn’t find balance. I didn’t have througtful approach to my food habits. I ate bland food and didn’t enjoy my meal. After hard 7 years I quit my diet and gained 10 kg. I tend to gain weight so fast, but I couldn’t control myself anymore. I started eating fattening food and a lot of fast food. Now I still don’t have good relationship with food. I wanna find balance, but when I come back from work I am so tired, starving and my voice inside my head tells me “you deserve for something tasty and filling”.

I already thinking about foods this way. I think i'm on the right path after watching this video 🥰 having a healthy relationship w food is about how to balance them, easy to say hard to practice at first. But it gets better and easier once you get used to it. Make a balanced diet, your new lifestyle. Then you can eat whatever you want on a daily basis.. before creating new healthier lifestyle, you should set you mindset first. Healthy relationship w food only possible if you have healthy mentality, loving yourself first. If not, then you should start from that. If you love yourself enough, then you can change your lifestyle into a healthier one.. but if not (yet), it could be really challenging... and never underestimate the small changes(baby step).. a bigger change in your life start from a small..start a healthy habit from whatever you think is the easiest one..and try to improve them day by day to a healthier one.. 9:10 Find the balance that works for YOU (This Is IT!)

Doctors can’t win. If we don’t prescribe needed meds for depression/anxiety, we’re not treating a very treatable disease. If we do, we’re being hasty. I’m sure this doctor was trying something that may have been helpful to many, even if it wasn’t to her.

[@debraseiling455]

This was a very impressive and well-rounded video on healthy eating and lifestyle. Thanks!

[@debbienewheiser3266]

Wow i found this really powerful! Such passion in her words ❤️

[@lubie_ogorky]

I'm watching this while eating my 4th bowl of chocolate cereal.

[@ariel431]

I'm proud of you 🤗

[@pete6705]

She looks like she’s in perfect shape. I think she’s on a very strict diet

[@SweetJennyFan]

Some important stuff here. Thank you.

[@beakeman9531]

Its hard to think: I can only eat green veggies from now on in two weeks. Your will probably crash... and beanch even harder then you did before. Try instead to think like this: Can i Eat Veggies atleast on one meal per day for the rest of my life? Think longterm. Wich you good luck. I struggle too with binge eating but i getting at it.

I kinda think she could have said more. For breakfast I had an egg in a wrap with cheese. Some watermelon and an apple. And I don't know if i'm doing the right things. I talked to a dietitian who said I needed protein in my morning meal. So I've been eating an egg or two for breakfast with toast or a wrap and a piece of fruit. I'm so confused about what I'm doing. I have a hard time controlling what I eat. but I read in the joyce meyers devo the other day. treat your body well. be careful not to put junk in your body. I've been praying to lose weight or not to gain anymore. I hope God answers my pray.

[@annanakamoto6691]

peaceannie you can find your healthy! I feel like a huge part of having a healthy relationship with food(and a healthy diet) is knowledge. Read research, try to eat more veggies/fruits, and find what is sustainable for you. PickUpLimes, Abbey Sharp, and AthleanX have good info. I believe in you!

[@amirrhodesve791]

Get her book! It breaks down to the basics the science behind the good food making you have the knowledge and recipes are genius honestly so nice

[@rylieevans2316]

it takes a while, but you’ll get there eventually! keep going, but don’t push yourself too hard !

[@HB-kz8qo]

I have developed this within the last three months, I won’t eat food. I won’t. I will chew and spit. Everyone has been commenting on my weight loss and it just makes me feel worse. I feel like the worst person in the world I will lie to my partner and say yes I have eaten and when I look at my son I feel all the worlds of bad. It started when my partner told me I eat all the food then when I asked if I look better thinner and he said yes, all is my fault for asking. But it got bad when I was told by someone that I don’t deserve anything in my head that means everything, I just am to embarrassed to go and ask for help, I’ve seen myself in my dreams months on and I’m frail. My dreams scare me so badly, I have no idea how to change this

[@positivevibes9881]

Thank you! :)

[@geraldlewis8272]

I believe in MIRACLES and in SPIRIT and in GOD and that's the reality of it

[@dalewhiting7559]

Did you know that behaviors such as stealing, cheating, and lying can become a habitual part of a persons DIET also??? Its true

[@krupalithumar9980]

After my weight loose .I'm scare to eat any unhealthy foods even eventually. Also I can't eat carbs 😓 what can I do ! Even I workout more though!

[@alienordaquitaine2805]

She is not taking into account the effects of sugar on our brain. Sometimes, you want to eat something sweet not for your mind or your body, but because your brain is addicted to sugar. This play a major role on unhealthy relationship with food.

[@Rhitrition]

I have a podcast episode call the shocking truth about sugar. Just search Food For Thought. Sugar isn’t addictive but does trigger reward centres.

[@toomanyhungrycats0554]

I keep a mental note on how much I eat just to keep myself from eating a whole bag of chips. I tend to give myself a casual time limit and eat slowly. I still do question if I've got a healthy relationship

[@UN-ADDICTED]

Just watch greg doucette and buy his cook book it's the best thing ever trust me. He seems mean at first but it makes sense

[@NightDawnDusk]

The healthy relationship with food is this ratio

[@valiummarbles317]

I'm starting to believe that the only way I can eat healthily is if I live alone. And even then, I'll never be able to eat as much as I want, I wonder if I'll always have to restrict food intake. I exercise so much but every day I stress over food and my weight. it's very tiring :( and I don't know how to be normal anymore

[@nadabelayachi4667]

Relationship is not with food it's with people

[@cleaneating2539]

enjoy the food

[@arsw2457]

Thank you ❤️

[@chix25]

Omg! She sounded like the voice over of the Barbie Series.

[@liklibinekuds7700]

Our society screwed us up so bad that starving people wander the streets while we have an overabundance of food and obesity and health crises. And everyone in between either has an extreme diet (like a religion) or hates themselves for their eating habits. We have the most resources about diet an exercise than ever, yet our malnourishment problems are getting worse. Diet and food culture must change

[@greentree_]

You already reached that number on the scale. Now it's easy to advise other people to not restrict, measure and count calories.

[@WanSyazlina]

Wait a minute..1:14 I realise tht ted talks provide these teleprompters for short notes.. Ohh now i know how these public speakers are able to speak so smoothly without stuttering sometimes.

[@spde]

Nope, that's not a prompter . I have given a TEDx talk, and you have to learn that speech by heart - say it over and over again, have it tweaked, and then practice again. It isn't even hard to do if you have a message you want to communicate.

[@rachaeldally4605]

Great inspirational post! Well said !

[@onlinesaidasa9105]

Namaste As per Ayurveda according to our body type, the type of food that we take needs to differ.
