I came across this video by chance, and I'm incredibly grateful that I did. So much of what you discussed in the video deeply resonated with me. At 29 years old, it wasn't until a few years ago that I realized I've been an emotional eater my entire life. I've struggled with my weight for most of my life, constantly going through periods of weight gain and weight loss. The primary message I'm taking away from this video is my desire to rediscover my true self and start enjoying life to the fullest. I'm determined to free up the mental space that has been consumed by thoughts of food, body image, and eating schedules. It's time to eliminate all that mental clutter, as it's mentally draining. Diana, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude. Your videos are incredibly informative and never fail to prompt self-reflection. They inspire me to make the necessary changes so I can become the best version of myself that I aspire to be. Thank you!
This video was beyond great and insightful for me. I’ve always been telling myself that I cannot fix the outside without fixing the inside. I am learning to be better and kinder to myself. One day at a time ❤️
Dear Diana. First, THANKS for this video. I've been watching many videos related with this topic, and yours is by far the best. Can't understand why it is not on top on search list, and why it hasn't more than 1M views. The way you approach the subject is very empathetic, going deep to the root of the problem; not talking about some superficial tips. Maybe you can add some tags to the title or description, to make the video reach more searches. Again: thank you.
What a lovely comment to receive. Thank you! So happy it resonated. Yes, I will try to optimize its reach as I am hopeful others can find help with the message as well. Appreciated! ❤️
thank u sm. i was stress-tidying my room after this pretty big binge, i have been trying to recover for MONTHS now. i started emotional eating back in quarantine and even though i lost the weight, i still stress and emotional eat 2-3 times a week. my weight doesnt fluctate but the mental weight is way heavier. now that i know the science behind it, i think, believe and know that i deserve to get better.
I so appreciate you sharing your story. I feel like a lot of people including myself can relate. I also KNOW that you do deserve to feel better 💯 Sending ❤️❤️❤️
Fantastic video. Thank you. I would think that food, unlike drugs, is a “feel good” mechanism that goes back to babyhood and childhood, that the act of eating equals comfort that an infant gets when nursing from its mother and later in infancy when being spoon fed, ie nurtured by its parent. Drugs ultimately give a person a feeling of wellbeing but the nurturing aspect is missing.
Interesting perspective! Thanks for sharing. I can definitely see how nurturing food can feel - and we do often use it as a way to celebrate and show love ❤️
” because we want to escape the present moment.” 💡aha 👆🏽When I am chronically fatigued I turn to food - crunchy food or sometimes chocolate but not always chocolate. I can take it or leave it.
Hi Shweta. There are many things that can potentially promote weight loss - the main rule is that to promote it, you have to eat fewer calories than you burn. Chewing more can potentially help promote weight loss if it helps you eat slower. Eating slower may promote weight loss because you may end up eating less because you give your brain more time to feel full before eating too much (it takes about 20 minutes for the brain to receive the ‘just ate’ message) The thing is, you have to find strategies that fit in to your lifestyle and that personally work for you (while not compromising your mental/social wellbeing) I do have a video on eating slower that you can look up if you want more information on that. Best wishes on your path! ❤️
I hear you, Francesca. I can imagine that that is a strong feeling. ❤️❤️ I’m curious if there are days where you feel less trapped and what’s different about those days?
