FULL AUDIOBOOK! I Can't Stop Eating by Sarah Dosanjh

[@heyok4435]

If you could go back to your past self who binge ate, what would you tell them?

[@TheBingeEatingTherapist]

That's a great question. Firstly, I probably wouldn't have been able to hear it back then, but I think it would be: 1. Acceptance is the key to peace. You can fight with reality (e.g. I hate my body, I can't believe I just binged again etc), but all this does is create even MORE pain. 2. Accepting doesn't mean being passive or that nothing changes. In fact, I found that only when I truly accepted, that's when things change. It's simply letting go of how you think things 'should' be and just focus on the next step you want to take now. 3. There is no destination where you arrive finally 'healed'. The process is the healing/recovery. 4. Take a humble pill. Let go of competitiveness. When you try to 'win' at life you usually end up more disconnected from life and people. I feel like this could be a video y'know. Thanks for the question x

I would tell my 2-year-old self, someday you will feel safe. Someday you will be secure enough to deal with the nastiness life has brought you, and you will love yourself and love and respect children. You will reach the point where you have less days of eating to the point where you harm yourself.

​@@josieiatomasi706I don't understand your comment. Would you kindly please explain?

You are very welcome ❤️❤️

[@abdultheoneandonly6503]

Did you improve your situation?

[@celenamcinnes9091]

Wow, thank you so much for doing this. I'm 41 and have spent my whole life just believing I was greedy and have no willpower. I've only just grasped the fact that I have a serious issue and started to look online for sources of help. I've only listened to an hour so far but it's like you're actually talking to/about me personally. I've already sobbed once and I doubt it will be the last time before I finish listening! Thank you again ❤️❤️❤️

[@TheBingeEatingTherapist]

I’m so glad to hear my book has opened up a new way of think about this for you. I wish you all the very best on your journey to making peace with food ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for validating BED. So many years of being dismissed by medical professionals when asking for help. Thank you so much for everything you do 👏 I have never felt so heard and understood.

[@elleymetcalf]

Thank you so much for making this free. I bought the book and have read it alongside listening to this audiobook version of it which I've enjoyed so much. It's helped me stay really present and intentional with reading(and hearing) the words, and I also have loved your little extra comments and additions as you've read, too, I wish all audio books could be like this with little mini "off-piste" explanations and insights! Thank you for your work Sarah x

[@wardiya3arbiya]

I cant believe this is the writer reading the book. Thank you so much. I came here from a bariatric surgery chat where a post op patient started gaining weight again cause she just cant stop eating. One of the account shared this book saying that was a life changer for him. Many many thanks

[@marniejohnston5106]

Absolutely brilliant!! I have been battling with binge eating for 30 years and have lost count of how many books, courses, classes, therapy, etc that I have tried over my lifetime but your book struck such a cord…every single word resonates!! So, THANK YOU…you have changed my life. ❤

[@carolynjaynes9094]

Thank you so much, Sarah, for sharing your lovely, helpful book. I'm free of chronic bingeing now and your videos are so validating and supportive of my gentle and self-loving recovery process. I love the freedom and balance part and no longer dieting for the first time in my adult life. I appreciate your generosity and kindness to share your book.

[@LuVonLaskaponia]

I just had my mug of tea for breakfast, WITH 4 BISCUITS! I can't believe myself, and I feel great! I don't remember being able to eat only 4 biscuits ever in my life, or eat them "starting a new day" Biscuits always have been my trigger food, even as a child I felt like I had to eat the whole sleeve to really enjoy them, and so I did everytime. Thank you so much for your work, your perspective is helping me so much! I appreciate it deeply.

Sarah, Thank you so very much for all you have put in to this. I have been in this conflict with myself for over 40 years! I have obtained a grip at times but it never held permanently. I am still alive and still trying. I am trying to slowly absorb your book. I have never had the funds for a therapist. Thank you...from the heart.

[@jordanslife7934]

I have to say, your work has proven quite miraculous in my binge eating journey. It's only been a couple of days since I found you and listened to you reading your book, but I seemed to have experienced a complete psychic change surrounding food. Putting a stop to restrictions and dieting allows the instantaneous food freedom that I needed to stop the compulsions. Wow! Thank you so much! This really works! I am recovered... One day at a time. 💙🙏

[@AJ_]

Hi Sarah. I'm a female college student who has engaged in yo-yo dieting for the past three years of my life. I chanced upon your book last night in response to a bingeing episode, after which I searched for a voice that could both relate to my feelings of guilt but also guide me down the path to recovery. I was brought to uncontrollable tears on the bus as I listened to you read your book for the first time. No matter how intently I tried to suppress them the waterworks kept flowing. This is the first time I have found someone who could not only empathise with my struggles but also illuminate aspects of my problem that I myself wasn't aware of/refused to face-all done in a compassionate and supportive tone. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing the experiences you have accumulated both as a contractor of bulimia but also as a professional psychotherapist-and all for free. You have given me hope (truly) that I can combat my obsession with food and achieve a healthy mind and body at the same time! I cannot wait to finish the rest of the book, after which I will purchase my own physical copy! Please continue the great work you do in helping others with their disordered eating, you are an angel ❤️

Thank you so much for sharing your book on here. I stumbled across it and I listened up to chapter 5 and then I ordered the book from Amazon, and then re-listened to the entire book while I simultaneously read it, making notes and highlighting. So much of your book resonated so deeply with me. I have been listening to your podcast as well now. I have been in therapy for disordered eating for over a year and until I listened to your book so much of intuitive eating made no sense to me. I can't thank you enough. I am still at what feels like the beginning of my healing journey but I finally feel like I can see a path to recovery.

[@cristin794]

Thank you for doing this. I got so much out of your book. I'm resisting the urge to say things like, "I think I've finally found the solution that will work for me," but your book has taught me enough about black-and-white thinking that I will just say this: you expressed some ideas in such a way that I was able to feel spaciousness and freedom in a new way before I was even finished with the book, and I'm looking forward to exploring more. Thanks for your courage to share your experience and knowledge, and for doing it in a way I could hear it. I think the value of this hasn't just been your message, but you. Thank you.

[@TheBingeEatingTherapist]

[@jessicakelley0]

You’re a great writer &I really like your book so far! I’ve been reading a lot of “self help” books for awhile now, &some of them were really good(like this one!)& I got a lot of important info from them, but the other books were hard for me to even get through! One of the biggest issues I have &can’t seem to figure out is- what do I do right now,& HOW do I even start? I remember having food issues throughout my entire life, &I’m at the point now where I feel soooo far away from where I was when I used to feel pretty &comfortable in my skin! I feel so lost &my self confidence is so low that I can’t seem to see, or even imagine feeling good about myself again! I’m sorry to put all of this in the comment section- it’s probably TMI! I think that I’m probably grasping for help anywhere I think that I might find some kind of relief! Thank you for writing this book and giving the information inside away like this! I can tell that you are probably a REALLY good therapist! (I need to find a therapist whom I feel like I could be open &honest about all of my embarrassing &shameful issues with!) Anyways, thank you for this video!!!💜🤎🤍💛🧡

[@TheBingeEatingTherapist]

Thanks for your lovely comment! I think you speak for a lot of people when you want to know where to start. This can be a confusing and frustrating path to navigate. If I could offer anything about this it would be this (and I’m conscious that it’s probably not what you want to hear). Find a way to start bringing more presence to your eating experience. Watch the thoughts. Notice the physical experience. When this has been your problem for a long time it can become imbedded in your identity. Get to know your thoughts intimately and keep reminding yourself that just because you are thinking something, it doesn’t make it true. Ask yourself what you need to let go of in order to find peace. We become absolutely convinced that peace HAS to be found in changing our behaviour and our bodies, but actually peace comes from the mind, from our belief systems. We have to challenge and loosen those beliefs if we are to stand a hope in hell of making positive and sustainable changes to our eating. You may be stuck in believing that feeling comfortable lies in getting back to how you were before. I was stuck there for a long time ❤️

[@donnamanning4801]

Thank you so very much for taking the time to read your book for us. I have your hard copy now but it was nice to switch between the two and it was much nicer than an audiobook because it was more personal and had your little extra insights. I’m starting to think I have the same compulsive and obsessive emotions when it comes to shopping or wanting something. I’m trying to apply your method to feelings there too. I thought I was carrying lots of weight, and that is still true, it’s a fact, but I hadn’t appreciated the weight that I was carrying around on my shoulders, in my head. Since staring your videos and listening/reading your book, I feel so much lighter in just a week. Catastrophes is also something in realising I do with everyday tasks. Like seeing a pair of shoes in the lounge that need to be put away or that the dishes need to be done. Now I just look at it and do it and don’t put any thought into it, it has made such a difference 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💕

I feel hope and not hopeless. I need to lose weight for medical reasons, but at least I have hope, I was about to prepare for my own funeral. Now I am ready to try, while I know that not all days will be good but maybe I can have more good days than bad days. I like the none diet.

[@BountyFiax]

thank you Sarah for all the time you took, hearing your audio book was great, eye-opening - i ordered a paper one, so many things i want to re-visit... i can''t tell you all the things that resonate with me, they are a lot :) your explanations and all the videos I've watched so far have helped me connect the dots. i knew a lot of the things you said but didn't know i knew them, or didn't know how to link them together so that i could stop binge eat. so far, i can say i'm guilt/restriction free, which has made a tremendous change on my relation to food. i've learned to meet my emotions for a while but was still driven by not helpfull beliefs on myself mainly, more than on food. i don't have body image or weight problems, so this was perhaps more easy for me to progress quickly. even if i don't intend to be quick or achieve, it just happened because i was ready for it, i guess. i really liked hearing you, your expression is very easy-going, full of kindness and wise wodrs. i like that beyond eating, your book is be very usefull for any problems involving self-worth, control, freedom, identity... i can feel the vibe of life experiment, well done for this book!!! i wish many people will find out about it. i'm sure one day you'll write another interesting one, let life teachs you things :) thank you again Sarah, "meeting" you on yt was a gift for me, i'm gratefull for all the quality, authenticity and genuine help i find on your channel. merci beaucoup, take care!

[@michelleevans82021]

Sarah, I can’t thank you enough for your book (and for reading it to us!). I grew up in a chaotic alcoholic home and always felt lonely. I learned how to stay quiet, push down my feelings, and to use food to soothe and comfort myself. I developed bulimia and body dysmorphia as a teen and while I overcame somewhat, I still struggle with bingeing for comfort and to elicit feelings of happiness. I came to understand the how I got this way, but never the how to “fix it”. Your book truly resonated with me. I’ve started a new journey and hope to stop the madness (and the overwhelming body dysmorphia). Deprivation feelings are a huge problem for me and after a recent cutting for a bodybuilding season, the bingeing came back full on and with a vengeance because of the strict diet. I hope I can learn to apply what your book teaches, so I can finally enjoy a good relationship with food. And to like/accept myself.

[@cristinasanchez9029]

I love when you go off script, it's funny ❤

[@TheBingeEatingTherapist]

Eh, it’s just the nature of KZbin. All my favourite videos on other channels also get thumbs down. There are always going to be people who don’t like what I’m putting out.

This is such a lovely gift! I just discovered your podcast yesterday and immediately checked with my local library to see if your book was available, but it wasn't. Today the KZbin algorithm suggested this video. I'm 59 and still struggling with my relationship with food. I started in my early 20's with bulimia, managed to stop purging in my 30's, but continued to binge, overeat and diet, and have never stopped obsessing over food. I think about food 100's of times a day. I'm very grateful for this videobook, and very hopeful as well. 😘😘😘

[@noma1614]

This is great. Thanks for having this available. I really like the RALIC method and find that it resonated with my values. I am also a big fan of Byron Katie but haven't had the strength to use her Work on my binge eating yet. This makes it more approachable.

Dear Sarah, I am native speaking German so I want to apologize for my not so good English upfront. Thank you for your AudioBook. I ordered the book right away. This book gives hope and the first time aft 30+ years of binge eating I have the feeling that somebody understands me. I am so desperate that I finally took action and talked to my husband and looked for a therapist. I will introduce your book to my therapist and ask him if I could work with it. On the same time I ordered the book of Intuitive Eating .....it all makes sense and it gives me hope that there is a chance to break free after 30+ years. Thank you for your generosity to allow access for free to your full audiobook. I really love how you read the book - the pace and emphasis when reading is just perfect. Couldn't stop listening for 3 hours! Thank you soooo much! All the best wishes Maria

[@ObsidianBird]

Thank you. This is compassionate and showing us what self love language actually sounds like. 😊

[@TheBingeEatingTherapist]

Thank you! Much appreciated ❤️❤️

[@helenwilliams4837]

Thank you for working so hard to write your book. As a sufferer I know how difficult it must have been to clearly writ it all down. I have recommended your book to fellow sufferers, and hope your book is recognised as being very helpful. Your video are also wonderful. XX

Your correct that it is a journey. Experimenting to find what works for me. At times, I needed to re-evaluate and change. I realized that I ate non-stop til bedtime and got up in the middle of the night to eat again. Real change occurred for me when I shifted my focus from losing weight through diet restrictions to loving snd appreciateing the body the Lord gave me. Prioritize sleep! because its too easy to make bad choices when you are overly tired. Eat healthy for longevity and the only restriction is to my grocery shopping list to about 22 to 24 healthy and superfood items I enjoy (No junk food) and shopping only once a month to save $ and minimize food waste. I eat on a tight $ budget. Breakfast: black coffee A) beans on toast with 2 eggs B) greek yogurt/cottage cheese parfait with berries and flax seed C) oatmeal with chia seeds and cinnamon and water/milk of choice. D) Peanut butter/nut butter on whole wheat toast. Late Lunch: A) vegetable soups with protein and a side homemade bread/biscuit/muffin B) salad more fresh/steamed vegetables and 2 oz protein with 2 crackers, 2 heaping tablespoons croutons, or 1/2 slice garlic toast. C) 3 oz protein and 1 cup steamed veggies and 1/2 cup potato, rice, or pasta. Also, closing/clean up the kitchen VERY early everyday (about 3:30pm). Stop eating until breakfast. After the kitchen is closed, I enjoy my cups of tea and gave myself an out that if I really needed to eat later I would have A) sliced apple B) air-popped popcorn with some mixed nuts C) make allowance for special occasion dinners/desserts with family and friends. Edify yourself!, Be flexible and enjoy your life and the things you do that are Fun! I also bought a stroller for my toy house-trained dog, Harley. We can go for walks around the neighborhood to get some fresh air and sunshine. Modified Burpees (low-impact slow-motion version) are a great way to have functional fitness year round on the living room carpet. Or kick off your shoes, turn up the music and dance!

Thank you❤! Just starting listening to this video, but, I have listened to many other of your videos! I’m 70 and have probably lost 200-30 lbs over the years, about 30 at a time, looking forward to this.

[@Livinginoz]

What a fabulous book! Enjoyed every word of it. You are a talented therapist and author.

[@vaneney8574]

Not only it was very generous of you to share the entire book on KZbin, in my opinion it even added value to it. I personally really enjoyed listening to your comments throughout the video. This book makes me feel understood and less lonely. Recovery is a bumpy ride, but every little step forward (as simple as a mindful and peaceful meal) is an accomplishment worth celebrating. I'm glad you took the time to write down lots of the wise thoughts and interesting insights you had on this topic: they are helpful in many different ways and coming from someone who knows what it means to struggle with binge eating, they are even more precious to me. So, thank you very much! ♥️

[@alaneholloran5931]

[@newnanlady653]

I love your content but I also love your voice and accent. Thank you for being so generous!

[@terasue1976]

Thank you so much for this excellent book and your beautiful reading of it! I truly appreciate your authentic approach and the practicality of the RALIC method. This book has come into my life just when I need it most after years and years of failed dieting and more generally trying to exert control over myself to achieve a specific goal. The cost of this self-manipulation has been high and I’m ready to try something new. I’ve already tested the RALIC method and rediscovering some emotions that I’ve been working hard to avoid. Thanks again ❤

[@dianemahmud4037]

Thank you for sharing you book! It’s a gift I hope is replayed a thousand fold

You are such a caring and kind person. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself to help others. The information you offer is insightful and informative. ❤❤❤

[@beverlymillermiller7522]

This is an amazingly written book! Well done, and thank you for making it a free resource for anyone to enjoy. I will buy a physical copy regardless because I think it is a book worth having in my bookshelf!

[@karinekmk9293]

I'm listening to you little bits by little bits, I need to pause quite often to analyze and think about what you're saying. It truly resonates in me ! The sentence that made me pause the listening and type is : when you ask us to say "I am" , sometimes we answer facts and sometimes we answer perceptions. So true ! And this could be where Spanish is great (by the way, i'm French, therefore I apologize if my English is not perfect !) : in Spanish, there are TWO verbs meaning "to be" : ser (soy una mujer - I am a woman) for facts that can't change ; and estar (estoy cansada - I'm tired) for things that vary. Your book makes me think sooooo much and deeply, I can see some pieces fitting together, like a puzzle (but it is far from finished) ! Thank you Sarah !

[@TheBingeEatingTherapist]

I’m so glad to hear you are finding the book helpful. I didn’t know that about Spanish. Our verbs are all over the place in English 🤣 Well done on resisting the urge to rush through it ❤️

[@ro-7675]

Thank you so so much for publishing this for free - I'm only halfway through but could relate to every single word so far and it gives me so much hope.

[@TheBingeEatingTherapist]

You are very welcome. I’m glad it is resonating with you ❤️

[@tinkerbell1270]
