Thank you for your work! I have been able to accumulate more than five years sober from drugs and alcohol. Food, that’s another story. The hold food has on me is greater than any drug around. Over time my eating has gotten worse.
Massive respect and admiration for you getting sober. Food is a different beast isn’t it? Applying the same black and white thinking to food as alcohol and drugs often doesn’t work and may make it worse ❤️🩹
Great work on the steps! I was in OA for a long time and the idea that I had to cut out all my "binge" foods or "triggers" really messed with my mind and made me worse with the eating. It's not like alcohol where you don't need it to survive every day. Of course with food you do. With Sarah and her videos, I have been able to give myself permission to eat anything I want when I'm hungry and cut the judgement on "bad and good foods". There are none for me. I have been so much more peaceful about food and it's so freeing! I've been watching a video a day ever since I found Sarah, and that daily connection is like a meeting for me. I crave it daily, even if it's a rerun. Keep coming back. LOL
I am/have been for decades an emotional eater and learning from you has been a life changer. In another video you mentioned something about transitioning from one state to another and how it may evoke an urge to eat. That, combined with your tips in this video has helped me alot. I have noticed that I get the most urge to eat at transitioning times that involves me getting ready to fo things that are most stressful. Just figuring this out, and then naming it something (different from my own name , which is another tip that I learned from you) has been very helpful, to say the least. thank you 🙏🏻 ❤
Yr. 2024. Just seen your video. I appreciate this info. Im trying to get a time in the day to listen to these clips about emotional eating. It leaves a refreshing start to a new day. The words continue on in my mind, thus helping with my fight with this addiction.
I love how well you articulate such nuanced thoughts and ideas! I'm glad you talked about "sitting with emotions." I've never felt right about that, and didn't know why. What you said about it makes so much sense to me! Every concept in this video was so amazing and rang true for me! Thank you for all your videos!!!
You have helped me so much in the past few months to recognize and acknowledge my feelings regarding my eating disorder. I have struggled with an ed for 2 and a half years now shifting from anorex. to binge eating and you have no idea how your videos impact me on getting a clear head again and just reflecting my behaviors. Thank you so much.
Thank you for addessing emotional eating. This past year has been awful with the loss of my mother. I've turned to food to absorb my pain since my emotional needs are not being met by other people. Now i feel ready to take back control of my life. Its so overwhelming. I am okay and need to be a better version of myself.
What if you just really enjoy food? What if you don't eat THAT much but enough to not lose weight. Those 500/800kcal extra a day (which is easily done..it sounds like a lot but isn't..)
No, emotional eating is when you eat to comfort yourself from uncomfortable emotions or feelings. Sometimes it's okay to eat for comfort as long as you're aware that you're doing it. But it's not good to solly rely on that method every time because it could lead to health problems.
That’s honestly the best information I’ve ever heard in the shortest. Possible time you have revolutionized my mind on this whole subject. I am so appreciative. This is really going to change my life.THANK YOU ❤❤❤
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Loving tip 4 (Acknowledge the feeling), So important!!! Great video as always Sarah ❤👍 Your tips always resonate. THANK YOU!! P.S The LILAC acronym is really easy to remember! Thanks👍❤
I love this channel. I hope you will consider delving into the link between smoking and binge eating, because there seems to be a strong one. I believe a lot of us probably started smoking to control our appetites.
Thank you thank you thankyou!!🎉🎉🎉 you're amazing with this information.. i dont feel judged rather supported. Can't thank you enough❤❤❤❤needed to hear it!
I just discovered your channel and I've had the same experiences with a therapist as you, eat less, eat healthier, try harder, "you overcome an alcohol addiction, this will be easier" lol, really?,you've gone through addiction lol. Anyway, thank you for making these videos.
Have you seen the video I did on trauma and binge eating? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eft8RtKLsRU.html Anything that helps calm the nervous system is beneficial and reframing the story. A lot of trauma is perpetuated by the self-judgment eg I should’ve done this differently, I am wrong for feeling this way. Compassionate reframes are helpful ❤️🩹
Hi Sarah, I am going to start to apply LILAC to my day since tomorrow. I've been applying the RALIC method, and now I want to combine it with LILAC. I think is a good idea because both are incredible great therapeutic tools. I wanted to ask you about number five (LILAC), I was thinking that a way to change my energy would be walking my dog. Does that sound like a good way to apply tip number 5?
