What ACTUALLY Works To Stop Binge Eating | 8 things you NEED to do. 

🙋‍♀Ladies! I have opened up intensive breakthrough sessions for a limited time to help you fast track your journey to complete food freedom. I don't want you to waste another minute! It doesn't matter how complicated you think your relationship with food is or how long you have been struggling, I am confident I can help you gain the clarity, confidence and direction you need. And if you have any doubts that you can have a great relationship with food, you won't by the end of this session.There is no need for you to struggle with binge eating or food obsession any more. Please make use of the extensive understanding and experience I have and save your precious time. Because once these sessions are gone, they're gone. I'd really love to help and you won't be dissapointed. You can find more information here: shethrives.co.uk/breakthrough-coaching-sessions (important: first come first served and you must meet my client criteria to be eligible).

1. Timeline: how did it develop. What was it that you really needed at that time. 2. Learn to love and accept your body. 3. Realise that you have a choice. I AM CHOOSING to binge eat, to skip that meal , to do or not do something. We do have a choice and are in control. " i know this is not helpful for me but im doing it anyways. Change to i knows this is not helpful for me but this would be more healthier. 4. Eat food that you enjoy 5. Do somthing nice for yourself. Make an effort for yourself now even when you not where you are yet. 6. Validating emotions. What emotions are you escaping or blocking or ignoring with food or in general. What did i feel today? And say thats okay to feel that way. 7. Flexibility training. Let go of perfectionism. 8. Assertiveness.

I had to pause this video to have a long cry because I finally feel seen and not crazy. I've tried to talk to my closest friends and family about this, but they always told me I "probably wasn't eating enough" or that I'm just "lacking certain vitamins or protein" in my diet. I've tried to explain over and over that I eat healthy, balanced meals. I eat breakfast lunch and dinner with a snack and dessert, I go for walks every day. I've been to the doctor and done blood tests and I have no deficiencies. For all intents and purposes, I am a healthy 25 year old woman. But I have this uncontrollable urge to keep eating sweets any time I'm around them. If someone brings cookies into the office, I eat 5. If I go out to a restaurant, I can't cut myself off when drinking and I always order a dessert or two or even three. I'll eat past the point of feeling full until my stomach literally HURTS and feels so expanded and sore. And then I cry because I don't understand why I do it. Having someone put it into words and explain that there can be underlying reasons feels so validating and just makes me wish I'd found this sooner

I am 60 years old. I've had a disordered relationship with food since I was 5 years old. I've 'known' the reasons for many years now, but have not seem to have got past that point. You articulated the reason so clearly in this video - 'I am choosing ...' Yes, I am. Plus the rules and rigid thinking about food. I can now see very clearly what has happened with me. Looking forward to creating a healthy and balanced attitude with the tools you have provided. Thank you!

I definitely need to work on my flexibility training. If I had that milkshake I would probably feel like I might as well go on a massive binge since I ruined the work that I did that day

Does normal eating really exist? I wonder how that looks like …

I haven’t struggled with binge eating in a long time, but I still decided to watch this video anyways. Watching it now with a much clearer mindset makes so much sense and feels amazing to truly understand you! Thank you for this video!

Immediately subscribed. I've been denying this for so long and everything like everything! you've said has resonated ❤❤❤ thank you for this advice

Wow thank you for your video! I need and want to work on a lot of things that popped to my mind without ever thinking about them as a problem while watching your video. And for the first time I feel like it's most important to work on the things that are in my mind instead of constantly working on my body. Excited for this journey... but also scared. But I want to do it in order to become free in so many areas ☺️ thank you again for your content and helping me finally understanding ❤

Wow. This was such helpful information. Im starting a journey to overcome a scarcity mindset that causes me to binge. This really helped shift my focus. Thank you.

Hello Rachael. I struggle with this since almost 10 years now, as 35 years old woman, and you just reached something very deep in me when you talk about the "What the hell" effect. It is amazing how you see right through something I could not put a word on for so many years... Thank you...

You carry the spirit of peace with food I see in others but could never replicate. Thank you for explaining how to get there. Love from Minnesota ~

Glad there are so many positive and supportive comments. Puzzled by a few of the others. The quality is good and the content is fascinating, clearly articulated, and at a level that's easy to digest (pardon the pun). As a middle aged man with this problem, it felt a little odd watching these vids, but there is not much for men that focuses on the intuitive eating side of things. I'm particular interested in 'some people who think it's not an emotional thing for them, find out it is'. I am convinced my issues are purely physiological, but now I am all ears. Keep going. Great stuff. 👍

Hi there Rachel! I just found your channel a few hours ago and your content is pure gold 😢💕 thank you so so much! I've been struggling with my relation with food since i was a teenager, but lately it just become worse, cause i had a serious problem with my stomach, i could barely eat, i was so sick, and it was for about 3 months, so as you can imagine i lost a lot of weight, and people used to tell me "oh, you look great! Good for you" and i was just like 😑 really? I felt terrible! Now i'm feeling a little bit better every day, and obviosly i am starting to eat more (as it should be) but people seems like "oh no, you looked better before" and it just make me feel awful. But i'm trynna remember the most important thing is my health, not how thin or chubby i look. Honestly i love to work out, and i love to eat food full of nutrients! I just need to remember that how i feel is above how i look😢❤

This video really helped me... A first practical glimpse into the psychology of disordered eating. So many say how psychology is behind it and to ask oneself WHY do I need to do this.. but I was never able to answer that question for myself. Getting some possible answers that others found is so helpful, if only to give an idea of where to look.... Could you do more videos on the topic of what we're different psychological reframes / breakthroughs that helped your clients. The more examples, the greater the clarity....

thank you so much for this. your video helped me realize, after i put my timeline together, that i never actually had a healthy relationship with food. i grew up in an ingredient household where i would binge snack on crackers and chocolate chips all the time and was constantly surrounded by notions of “good” vs “bad” food. your tips have really helped my recovery ❤❤

got to 'i am choosing' bit and made me have a mid teen crises tysm fr cos i needed that

Thank you for creating this content Rachael. There is so much value and insight in the video. ❤

this was so well explained, subbed! ive been struggling for a few years now but want to take recovery seriously

you've hit the nail on the head. ty

Thank you so much....I'm literally about to cry with joy because FINALLY....... SOMEONE WHOM UNDERSTANDS ME AND WHAT IM GOING THROUGH with FOOD.....AND my emotions...you have taught me so much and helped me see myself exactly through another lens...May god bless u so much

Dear Rachael, I started watching your videos a few years ago. That time I wasn't ready for your approach to let go of dieting. But I am now and this is also because of your videos, which are so helpful to me!! Very often you speak out clearly and structured the things I feel with food and hunger, but wasn't able to put into words. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT 🧡 You helped me to realize that there is a way out and it's on me to choose that way. Sending you a lot of appreciation for your work and gratitude from Germany 🙏

It’s so hard to eat right !! Especially when you work 2 jobs have kids etc etc…. I never realized I had an eating disorder until now…I’m 42 now and have been in denial so long!! Seeing a therapist now is helping a little….

This was extremly helpful, thank you soso much❤

This video spoke right out of my soul

Thank you, your videos are so helpful.

Thank you for everything you do. Thank you 💕

So valuable, thankyou!

Just thoroughly amazing.

Omg lady, you described whats wrong with me! Ive been wrestling myself for about 20 years now. Now I know whay is wrong. Thanks.

I'm a large guy, and have only recently been looking at how I've dealt with past trauma. I beat a drug addiction in 2019 with a lot of help, but I'm finding the binge eating harder to deal with since as a human, I do need to eat every day! Thank you so much for this and all of your videos, it articulates a lot of great ideas and helps me to learn how to confront my old ways of thinking. Just a question as well; do you take male clients? I understand if not, but I wanted to be sure!

Thank you for this 🤗

Thank you for everything ❤

The idea of restricting gives a sense of hope, if only for a little while

Man.. that’s me! Eat something wrong and just go for it.. because I already did something I wasn’t supposed to do or going to have a negative impact on my body. The. Real regret comes in 🤦🏾‍♀️

Thank you for another great video! ❤️

I can’t wait to see my therapist today. This video gives me hope.

damn! this video hit a lot of very good points

Yeah u had me at the first one🙈

what if your body functions more efficiently at a lower weight, and you have more energy/agility?

Do you have an advice for someone that eats to stay awake? I am not a morning person, but I have to work from 8 to 16. In the mornings (before 12) I seem to eat alot, just to stay awake and able to do some work. What advice do you have for me for cut down on morning binging?

I know this content is geared towards women, but I still find it applicable and useful as a man. thank you!

Hi rachael, it’s is more helpful if you listen to podcast almost every day to recover from BED? Or it’s will be worst? Should we understand backward story and work on our feelings withould going back and listen ppl who, like you, is talking about it? (Hope you understand)❤

Precisa e relatable

The only time when i binge eat is when i feel im completely alone or maybe for company its crazy isnt it 😅

Dear Rachael,I'm currently on my intuitive eating journey. I'm (have in past)usually fixated on healthy eating with emphasis on no sugar,flour,dairy and flesh. I feel dairy is not that natural or healthy.But that forbidding it to myself is worse. Naturally,my refrigerator is now full of all above,except flesh,although I did eat fast food a couple of times. I guess I'm calling for reassurance, that this seemingly endless obsession with formerly forbidden foods will subside eventually. Right now I'm eating yogurt for every meal.with butter,sour cream ,bagels.its not balanced at all.

Hey Rachael! The past few days I have been having intense cravings for peanut butter, which I have been honouring, but the craving doesn't seem to die. Why is that so? I did not restrict myself to it. Could this be a sign that my body is not consuming enough fats, that's why it's asking for more?

Hi, I hace a question I hope U could help me, I was anorexic girl when I was 10 years old and then I get over it and then I gain weight and become over weight because of binge eating I have for now 4 years. (Now I am 19 years and I reached my heaviest weight ever and I don't like me like this at all) What is first thing U recommend for my status to start my recovery with? And any advice from u could help

How do we get help from you?

Not the point of the video but where did you get your chair? It’s lovely

Most of us have actually the problem of not being taught how to choose, so the presence of the choice itself makes it difficult and overwhelming. This western perspective on the freedom of choice is beautiful but not working for dependent people who doesn't want to choose, because it is hard and traumatic, coz' they've been living under controlled environment that made them disabled and let's say BPD or somewhat else. So now we are dealing with a bigger psychological problem...for example addiction (food abuse) as a coping mechanism.

I think binge eating (and all eating disorders) are spiritual afflictions, not physical or even mental. They may manifest themselves physically, mentally emotionally, but at their root they are spiritual and as such, require a spiritual solution.

I get frustrated. I don't binge. I don't stress eat. I want what I want, for the flavor/texture, and I eat it, but I struggle with losing weight. I feel that this is normal but there's no term for it....

What if either choice doesn't feel good. Or I genuinely don't know what to choose cause I'm so fearful. Of eating but also not eating and cause of ana and mia my signals are unregulated.

I never had a normal relationship with food.

❤❤❤

If anyone can recommend good therapist i would be very grateful as really struggling at the moment z

Went from binge eating to now I have to remember to eat 😅

You're pretty

The content of this video is great. The sound, going up and down and low one minute and blaring the next, is making it unwatchable for me

Sorry but at 14 minutes you talk about just calling in to work but this does not work for us Americans. I don't mean to be a Debbie Downer I just wanted to state this fact.

I want to marry in foreign girl so please suggest me how to marry in foreign girl 😀🇮🇳

OMG where have you been all my life 🥹❤️ this was incredible advice! From someone who actually gets it. The last bit about assertiveness I have NEVER thought about before but it resonated with me so much ❤️‍🩹. I am about to (binge) watch all of your videos - I feel like I’ve found someone who can actually help me 🥹 Thank you Thank you Thank you Rachael ❤️ xxx
