If you could go back to your past self who binge ate, what would you tell them?
@TheBingeEatingTherapist2 жыл бұрын
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

Also I feel like I’m listening to a friend giving me advice when I hear the audio version. It is already helping me change my eating behaviours and it also explains why I always loose weight when I’m NOT dieting 😌. I have always been trying to loose weight but have failed to do so. I then realised that my relationship with food was flawed as I’d turn to food because of emotion rather than hunger. I’m hoping to change this using the RALIC method. Thank you again!

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!)

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 ❤️

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!

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 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💕

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.

I can't remember the exact words but there is a concept that really resonated with me: the fact that recovery isn't something you'll find at "the end of your journey". First of all, because this is an ongoing journey (meaning there isn't such a thing as the end of it) and secondly because the moment where you can call yourself "free from binge eating" (whatever that means xD) probably doesn't even exist. If certain thoughts or feelings keep creeping up every once in a while, it doesn't mean that you have failed at your attempts to recover. In fact, every time you look at yourself in the mirror and disgust and shame aren't the only things you feel (maybe you sometimes even feel appreciation for your fantastic body?), every time you eat when hungry, every time you don't feel guilty because you have eaten "more than you should", or every time you genuinely can enjoy a meal without overanalyzing it, you are somewhat recovered. Being someone who’s working towards recovery for a few years already, it used to be very frustrating, discouraging and disheartening whenever I’d experience a setback. Moments where I see my body and hate it, when I binge, or the fact of still not having reached my “ideal weight” or rather that my body weight fluctuates quite a bit, used to make me question if I even had progressed at all in my healing. After having listened to your book, I see these moments under a whole new light! I feel hopeful and happy, knowing that my efforts haven’t been vain. I’m now able to appreciate how far I’ve come and I’m proud of myself. This may not seem like much but for me it truly is! ❤ Please keep on doing what you are doing: I am sure there are plenty of people out there that are just as grateful as I am for having found you! Sending you lots of love 🌻

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!

Eleonore Constant You say ‘gone wrong’, I KNOW that’s how it feels, but it’s probably your body trying to get it right for you. Sending ❤️

@@TheBingeEatingTherapist yes this is such a good pint but I think some type of structured eating would be best to help me recover from anorexia as eating too much at once just makes me feel like crap physically and mentally!!! Really enjoying the book so far. I ll probably stop soon and will listen some more tomorrow!! Thanks so much again for this audiobook!!! 🙏🏻❤️

The first thing that actually came to mind about the three things I like about my body Was that it's amazing that my body was a wool to create three beautiful children.

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!

It’s so funny how this eating journey somehow has brought us all to these actually amazing places that have taught us so much besides the food issue solving - I totally resonances with Kate because she red the same Eckhard tolle book like I did, and just getting to that spiritual corner somehow as a lot of us do in search of a ‚solution‘ is even something..beautiful! I‘d never have discovered Tolle, Dispenza, Geneen Roth and hundreds of others without the tragedy of that eating disorder.

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 KZfaq 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. 😘😘😘

I want to start by thanking you for reading the book for free. I will buy it if only to support you in your important work but also because I love it. I have ARFID that I got help from a psychologist to get better with (but it is always with me). I started with LCHF and Paleo and thought I was addicted to sugar. Found the book Intuitive Eating and then your page on KZfaq. Your videos and your podcast have helped me so much. My eating disorder makes everything extra complicated but I work every day to find the balance where I feel good and allow myself to eat what I feel gives me value right now. I apologize for, maby writing it wrong. I use translation on my phone to make it easier for me to write without thinking about the language. Thank you again.

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

I bought the book but often don't have the motivation to read. I couldn't find the audio version, so thank you for this. I feel you are in my head like the song 'killing me softly.' I am doing my best to give up dieter's mentality: I had a sugar based soda the other day, no more diet coke for me (I'm still working on the guilt). Yes, I have gained weight, but dieting never made me healthy or thin anyway. Metta 🙏🏻
