Weekly Vlog: Why I Don't Change My Food Plan on a Holiday

[@TheLisaDonald]

Thank you for doing what you do! You have been the first person to help me really understand food addiction and that it's okay to forever be "that person" who can't eat this or that, and to permanently say good bye to the trigger foods. Now I have to figure out the scheduling and amounts part.

Yes, still a nugget! In Ireland, no Thanksgiving but very thankful for this vlog. Thanks Susan

I am so truly Thankful for you SPT , I believe that you helped save my life, and I will be forever grateful and thankful. I agree with you on this topic vlog but I have already written down my food for tomorrow before watching this so, as per what I have written I still will be having my sweet potatoes at lunch instead of breakfast . Maybe next Thanksgiving I will not move my grain around. I Love You With All My Heart! Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your beautiful family.

I needed this thank you

If you understood the internal thoughts of a food addict perhaps you might relate. I can tell you for years I was and still am in this mindset but I go back to her guidance to see me through. Helping people is her soul. Not a marketing ploy. I am thankful for the freedom of these feelings vanishing when I surrender that I am powerless over food

Meh, don't believe you in this vlog. I dont believe you love your food. I appreciate your program and company. I love the bright community. Shame guilt and fear in my opinion are your business model. I love the science, but all the language in this video is not appealing to me. Shame, guilt, and control over others and fear inducing language is not cool for me nor healthy. Interesting you keep saying it's not shame or judgment.... cuz you know that it is. I do believe and feel your intention is good. Bless you and your team.

Perhaps you don't understand addiction? Addicts try to self medicate those emotions every day, whatever the substance. I work in mental health and I see it with food as well as drugs and alcohol. (It surprised me to see how many men have food issues.) I don't know Dr. Thompson personally but I have been following her for a number of years, and can't imagine her ever intentionally (her business model?) projecting those bad feelings on to others, especially since she has been there herself. Addicts have enough fear, shame and judgement of their own, they don't need to go looking for it in a program. Susan and BLE offers people a way forward, and help in how to deal with the emotional and practical aspects of food addiction. To me this vlog seems like practical advice...I am not getting the vibe you did.

Look lady if you get it you get it if you don’t you don’t. I responded more above. I appreciate you’ve never felt the endless negative thought processes that addicted people deal with when eating and binging on food

@@marischlice3990 Thanks for taking the time to reply and express yourself. Regarding what I understand and what I have experienced, I have been 10++ on the BLE Ecommerce Quiz known as susceptibility scale. I lost 90 pounds with BLE. I am so blessed to have found the program. However, white and black thinking, shame, guilt and especially fear I have learned don't serve me, but keep the addicted centers of my brain constantly searching. I am actively healing and making decisions that empower me. I wish you happiness and peace and good health.

@@fionah3433 Thanks for your reply, and the care it took to make it. BLE is a way forward. I am grateful for what I learned from Dr. Thompson and always will be. I appreciate her and her company. I appreciate the community. However, I don't think she does really love her food. Its okay that you don't agree with my viewpoint. She gives so freely and generously, its okay to have a business model to make money from the endeavor and expertise too. I have grown to the point where the fear inducing language and fostering a dependence on her every move and decision or some person outside of my being doesn't serve me as I conquer my addictions. Wishing you peace and good health. Thanks for the work you do in mental health.
