The 3 Turning Points in my Binge Eating Recovery

THE THREE TURNING POINTS IN MY BINGE EATING RECOVERY JOURNEY - In this video I share some of the realisations I had, which significantly impacted the course of my recovery. If you are searching for the answer to the question of how to stop binge eating, sometimes it's not about finding the answers out there but about those inner realisations that create profound shifts.

Hi Sarah, I have been struggling with binge eating for years! I go through fazes times when I think I have done it than I find my self right back there again. I often watch your videos to help me try to take each day as it comes xx thanks again

[@TheBingeEatingTherapist]

You are so welcome. I’m glad you are finding them useful ❤️‍🩹

[@nepojizzy]

thank you so much for this. i’m a teenager in high school and i’ve been struggling with binge habits for a while now. i feel so heard and motivated to recover after watching. 💓

[@JessicaG1976]

Excellent video. Sarah, I can’t begin to describe how you have changed me. Your videos resonate with me so much. You explain things in a way that makes sense and for once I’m so hopeful. Please keep creating more content. ❤

[@FemEngAT]

Dear Sarah, once again you so much hit the point, bringing thoughts to my mind that do acutually resonate. The dissociation within, the need for numbing my feelings. After 20 years of BED and weight gain, there seems to be a touch of hope and light on the horizon. Thank you for what you do and offer here. Warm regards from Austria, H.

[@aliciaacuna3218]

Wow, Sara, it's like listening to my own consciousness. Lots of love and gratitude from Spain. Thanks God I learnt enough English as to be able to understand and interiorise your wise words❤

[@naheedsiddique6206]

By the End of the video I was sobbing so greatful to you Sarah!! Xx

[@nataliemodica3355]

[@Theone-qo2qp]

Sarah! Thank you for sharing your recovery journey with us!!! I get so much out each video you post You give me hope and a reminder to be kind to myself and go within 🙏💜💜 Much love

[@esoteriquefille]

What an excellent video! I can relate to all three of these turning points. Removing restriction, challenging my thoughts, and looking inward have all been crucial in my recovery. I know that food and nutrition are important and that was the first thing I tackled. As I have progressed in my recovery, I realize that everything I had been doing was being filtered through my mind. Every action I took had a thought or a belief behind it. Once I started writing down my eating disorder thoughts and challenging them, that is when I started to make real mindset shifts. I'm particularly comforted by this idea of inner wisdom, because I believe we all have it. It is just a matter of learning to tap into it.

[@TheBingeEatingTherapist]

I couldn’t agree more! And writing is such a helpful way to get those thoughts out of your head to be able to observe and recognise when it’s old thinking popping up cos it can be real sneaky!

[@samanthasoliman9724]

Wow, you are AMAZING! Everything you say, is exactly how I think. Hearing someone else talk about it like you do, is so helpful. Also makes it easier to actually "explain" my thoughts to loved ones. Thank you!!!

[@catherinebell5912]

Hi Sarah, I found your channel just over a month ago as I had my own realisation about myself. I've been watching your videos, not in any kind of order, which is why I'm 2 years late commenting on this one 😊 but I swear it's like you're reading my mind.. Everything you say rings so true to me, looking back I don't know how I didn't realise that there could've been more to my "eating problem" than just me being greedy or having no self discipline, as you say we look at things very black and white!! I'm glad it was me that eventually realised there could be something else going on but once I realised and then found your channel I honestly do feel like a weight has been lifted.. literally!! Saying that, I'm not getting on the scales as that doesn't interest me anymore, it's about the freedom I now feel to just live without being controlled by the numbers on the food items and the numbers on the scales ❤ thank you for your videos and wealth of advice and kindness ❤

[@robertschriek1353]

thank you for this excellent video, very helpful to me personally.

[@JustSayin916]

You are so wise. And so kind. Thank you.

[@rabbijewymcjewjew8648]

Absolutely resonates. Thank you for sharing.

[@rebekahbailey7332]

This has such parallels with addiction, including my own experience.

[@_Freddy_Plush_]

So you first just want to lose a few pounds, but the restriction itself cause binge eating. Then it’s constant weight gaining and restrictions on food created all these emotions that keep binge eating…you were not even fat when you started but all these happening…Thank you for sharing. It’s very helpful.

[@ihatemen6233]

I really love this thank you so much

[@clarissa2365]

Thank you Sarah, it's always a good reminder to listen to your videos and do some introspection

[@TheBingeEatingTherapist]

Hey Clarissa. Glad to hear that. I hope you are okay ❤️

[@lr6477]

Thank you for all you do x

[@jennysims1910]

Brilliant video Thankyou 🤗

[@heyok4435]

I finally told my mother about my binge eating situation, and now she wants me to see a doctor or someone that I can talk to, but I am so scarred of doing that. Every time I binge eat I just think that I can do better the next day on myself but then I binge eat again. Idk what to do

[@TheBingeEatingTherapist]

Firstly, well done for sharing with your mother. I am always going to be someone who encourages talking with people who may understand. I spent years telling myself to do better and could not understand why that didn’t seem to be possible. If you are open to speaking with someone and you’re in the UK, perhaps you could start with calling the Beat helpline or even using their email support? You aren’t committing yourself to working with someone, but you can see how it feels to speak with someone about it who is trained to offer support. www.beateatingdisorders.org.uk/get-information-and-support/get-help-for-myself/i-need-support-now/helplines/

This thinking might not be so healthy but I just wanna recover . Tbh I just wanna be skinny ik my reasoning isn’t right but idk how to change it . I feel tired of fighting, I wake up and I feel like shit . I go to bed feeling like shit . I eat because I feel like shit and I feel like shit because of eating

How do you deal with the physical stomach pains the next morning

[@TheBingeEatingTherapist]

This is a good question and I had a similar one a couple of days ago about managing the physical effects after a binge so I’ll turn it into a video so I can offer a more full answer for you ❤️
