The video I wish I'd seen when I was struggling with my weight.

This isn't spoken about enough but it doesn't make it any easier to share. Please can we take a moment to thank this wonderful woman for sharing such a personal story in the hopes that it will help others ❤

I’ve been in recovery for half a year and my only goal next year is intuitive eating & accepting my body the way it is and learning to love myself

[@RachaelWrigley]

Sending you so much support !! ❤️❤️

where did you start? i feel very lost in the yoyo cycles

[@idk-ec5sm]

@@kriti1466if this question is directed at me then: tbh idk how i did it, i just remember that i knew i had to stop at some point and i've had that feeling like a hundred times before and tried but never really succeeded for more than two days or sth. i think the reason that it worked was that i was doing so so bad that i hit rock bottom and then took it more seriously. i wouldn't have made it without my parents, so basically i told them that i'm trying to stop (at that point i had been going to therapy for like 2/3 months and begun taking medication (antidepressants or sth) ) so everytime i wanted to binge or normally my parents would say to me that it was too much and i would listen to them. when i felt the urge to binge, i would literally sit down in my bed & tell myself to not leave the bed until the urge of binging would go away (that helped sm). and with time it got easier and i began binge eating a lot less (oh and before starting recovery i stopped starving myself & throwing up which was a lot easier for me so i don't really have any advice for that & i stopped working out totally because it was triggering me so i only did sport in courses etc) & the thoughts were still there and didn't go away but i didn't do anything i would've done during my ed & it's still not fine but A LOT easier. i wish you the best

Oh my. This woman is so self aware. This is almost exactly how I was in 2018. Wow!

[@RachaelWrigley]

She is!! It's such a common story that no-one really speaks about ❤️

[@natashyas4149]

Thank you for your courage in sharing your story

[@msladartandlearning7250]

Wow! As someone who has recovered from the binge eating/ dieting cycle, I have never seen anyone sun the whole of my experience up so well. I now understand that my body drove me to eat, as it was starving, but at the time I just felt like a failure. Amazing video. ❤

[@katezorina999]

Thank you for everything you do Rachel, I've never seen anything more helpful and supportive than your videos. I feel like my life is changing, and I really needed that for a long time. Thank you so much ❤

[@RachaelWrigley]

You are so welcome! I'm so glad they help ❤️

[@aeolanyiramoon6260]

I needed this today thank you 🥰🥺

[@SN-iz7tn]

I needed to see this video very badly, Thank you. I changed my new year resolution to - "this year, I will not go on any diet"

[@RachaelWrigley]

That is incredible! I completely understand what a big deal that is to do that. I'm happy for you that you know more of what you want and don't want ❤️

[@Godsunicorn.7]

❤😢❤😢thank you so much, finally i dont feel alone

[@zaineb244]

Omg I feel as if I am hearing myself talk, the same exact thing happened to me. The only difference is that I did yoga and mauy thai and fell in love with sports. It’s been three weeks since I stoped diets and everything related to them. Honestly it’s hard, the thoughts of wanting the body and the fear of losing the progress and the work that I did, which is losing 20kg, is real. But I want to feel free and happy again that’s why I started intuitive eating
