Its all about creating a new habit. I had this issue in the past. Now when ever I get a "urge" I quickly make green tea. So i basically replaced that bad habit with a good habit. Now green tea represents good health to me. Keeps my mind straight.
Couldn't help but start crying right from the 5th minute . The thing that kills me about binge eating is the after guilt. I really felt good after listening to you. Pray for me and let's hope for the best. Thank you.
Me, kind of. But it is not clean eating what causes this, but clean eating did just masked my disorder. We have to fix cause first. Oh by the way only time I feel great after the binge, when it was fruits and oatmeals. I could run marathon next day, only if my knees and muscles would cooperate...
***** have you tried increase your calorie intake? I usually got those MASSIVE and EXTREME binges after some kind of restriction and more healthy and not so big ones after eating more moderately.
***** I have very similiar experience with sugar and binges. I think you actually need some sugar even to battle candida (for your white bood cells) and if it also helps you with your urges to binge, that is great. You have to eat enough to heal faster. Think about food as an fuel, it helped me a little. Hope you will get better soon!
***** Hmmm I was thinking about candida once, because I found some pretty interesting articles out there pointing to the opinion, that candida is not real disease and it is bogus. Do some research on: "Is candida real" and check for medical sites and trustworthy research. Make your own mind. You may put yourself trough so much hell for nothing. Also low carbohydrate diet is not natural and unless you not have mastered dietary ketosis, you would never feel good on such diet. I would encourage you to think about this. Healthy and sustainable diet (centred on wholesome foods) is the key for healing process and for better life.
I agree with everything you said and the info is how I stopped binge eating too. Last summer when I felt the urge to binge, I went into our backyard and sat under the gazebo tent/canopy. I asked myself what was bothering me and if I could change it. The urge to binge usually went away within 20 minutes. I sat with the pain/stress/boredom/loneliness instead of stuffing it down with food. Meditation helps a lot and associating pain with those foods. I realized the junk food wasn't comforting at all because I would be so sick afterwards. (mentally, physically, and emotionally)
I was over a friends house and it was a party, there were about three large boxes of pizza from pizza hut and so we all ate about 30 minutes later knowing I wasn't hungry I went back and at the last of the pizza there was half a box left. When I binge eat I don't even realise if im full or not I just eat because its there and its good. I feel so guilty afterwards and yet I do it again. It took me a while to stop, but I've recovered thanks to this video.
Im 5'3 and weigh over 200 pounds because of this eating disorder. I havent thought i needed to change until recently i realized how much i hate looking into the mirror. Starting now i am making a change. Wish me luck
I've had this disorder since freshman year now i'm 18. I can't count how many times i would say "after today this problem stops". Then i would see food and binge. Boredom, emotional, not hungry and right before bed. It has become a routine. I work out, eat organic and not really any meat except for chicken, but i have no self control when it comes to food. I've felt like i lived with this secret during high school that know one would expect i had, and it affected the way i lived my life. I wish i would have gotten help earlier but i didn't know what it is. Hopefully tomorrow i decide to make this personal change for ever :( Thanks for the inspiration
You know you're desperate for change when you find yourself going to youtube for answers, your video was exactly what i was looking for. I know you understand the state of urgency I'm feeling for change in my life and I'm going to try this advice and read that book and begin the process of making those changes
I clicked on this thinking it was going to be some kind of advertisement lacking real information, but I was very wrong. You are so sincere and genuinely want to give back to help others who are experiencing this! Thank you.
I dropped 50 pounds in 5 months and reached my lowest weight, I was happy and confident. But I gained it all back and then some in 4 months and gained it all back. 7 months later I'm at the highest weight I've ever been and can't seem to push myself to start.
I just watched this about two weeks ago and I have gone 5 days without binging. THANK YOU! Brain over Binge and The Body You Deserve were crucial. It gave me a whole new way to approach the issue. I appreciate it!
Oh my god I can't believe that there so much people out there, who have the exact same problem as me, binge eating.. This video is just amazing and I am sure, that when I do it exactly how you explain or how you overcame that, I will do that too! It helped me out so much, thank you:)
Thank you. I am on the verge of tears right now because I really feel like, for once, I can make a change. Everything you've been saying has really got me thinking and you have given me so much hope so thank you. Really, really, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Thank you . I had 37 days . I amazed myself. I had a stressful event and today is my first day digging out of a 6 day binge hole. No desire to even binge. Its the slip that gets me. Self sabotage. Black and white. Im a failure thinking... I'm pulling up every video that speaks to me. You are one
i just ordered the book!......i am 65, i have SUFFERED with binge eating since i was 13!.......................wow......i have never given up hope......sure worth a try!
literally crying right now. your experience is shown through your passion and I took this video as a motivation to try to overcome my binge eating. this disorder is so mean to us it can kill us and it has to be stopped
About one year ago I went on an extreme diet and lost 30lbs and I remember binging once in a while and feeling so guilty and now one year later I'm almost at where I was before dieting and I binge almost every day and it's making me hate myself and I don't get support from anyone I hope I'll be able to make a change after watching this video it would seriously make me so happy 😪
Man!!! Thank you for sharing this!!! I have been dealing with this problem ever since I´m a kid and I´ve tried a lot of stuff. I´m getting the book and the course and I´ll let u know. But first I wanted to thank u again for sharing not only the resources, but your story. Thanks for the hope!
W-O-W I never thought a simple youtube video could make me feel such deep emotions of determination and self-esteem. I have been looking all over the internet for something to help me and I just wish I could meet you to give you an enormous hug. I honestly feel like someone just stabbed my chest and injected some kind of positivity serum. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
This is the truest video about binge eating... Unfortunately it's soo sad 😢 I used to intermittent fasting eating healthy.. Then I went on a water fast.. While refeeding hell broke loose and am eating uncontrollably.. I can't even intermittent fast as I used to..
as a 15 year old i feel as if being " fit " is one of the most important things that way you wont be judged. i lost 18lbs in one month from starving myself, i was already pretty slim but losing those 18lbs made me way way slimmer i lost so much muscle mass. i used to weight 160 but in the month i went down to 146 and then started to diet which made me go to 140lbs in another 3 weeks. im now binge eating everyday and im up to 147 in 2 weeks. i need to stop before i start staving myself again.
Thank you for this. I've been needing this... I've been through so many ups and downs. From anorexia, to gaining healthy weight (I am still at a healthy weight) to trying to overcome over eating.
Been anorexic and bulimic for 15 years, I feel like I'm alive, but not really living. I have tried everything to try to stop: hospital twice, I even tried getting rid of all the trigger foods, but found I'll binge on anything. I just want to be a good mum to my kids instead of being an embarrassment. I am so ashamed that even my partner doesn't know, and sneaking around behind his back is tearing me apart. To fuel my habit I ate food out of bins and even stole from my family. I recently started ashtanga yoga and that is helping me be strong again and deal with intense depression which I have recently linked to my eating disorder: the desire to be someone I'm not and too impatient and downright lazy to put in the work. Starving seemed like an easy option but I've since learned to steer clear of quick fixes. I recently went off seafood in a massive way after a bad experience; are you seriously saying I can do this with chocolate and meat? I really want to be a vegetarian, but for me, it has to feel like the natural thing to do. Do I seriously have to become (gulp) A FUSSY EATER? I used to love art, reading, dancing, but I haven't done any of these things for almost 10 years. I am going to try this, because frankly, I've got nothing left to lose. I am saddened to hear there are others going through this and I know how alone you must feel and how terrified you are of being judged. I don't judge you. You don't have to hide. We are not terrible people and we deserve to give this a go. Up until now I have truly sucked at life, maybe it's time to have a go at winning. At the moment when i hear about how people got over their disorder it just makes me feel 10 times worse because i'm like I'll never do that, stop with the gloating. i am so glad I watched this.
2 years ago, I came across this video and completely identified with your story. It was exactly what happened to me. I dieted for a competition and fell into the binge habit. It gradually got worse over the course of 2 years, and I gained 30 lbs. I couldn't stop. I thought all hope was gone. I found this video, bought the book, and never looked back. That was 2 years ago, I lost all of the weight, I eat and exercise like a normal person. My life has never been better. Sometimes the habit still kind of rears it's head, but I'm smart enough now not to fall in the cycle. I will never forget how bad things were, and I will always, always be grateful that you posted this.
I knew I needed help when I actually took some chips that some other guy threw away at the office. it was still in the bag so it was still "fresh" and without damage so I took it. hid in the bathroom and shoved it down my throat like I haven't eaten in a week and that was maybe an hour or two after lunch. I cried myself to sleep that day this is so serious and I'm not even fat I look thin but I can already tell I'm putting on some weight. I never had this problem it began when I wanted to have a healthier life and so I read and researched and started to go on this "diet" where I completly changed my diet and restrictions this got me to think about Food all day everyday Im afraid I turned to this eating piggy monster and I just want to end this before it's way to late...
I would try to "diet" and I would do good the 1st day and 2nd day then 3rs day comes around I'm okay until night time. I'm like a hungry wolf. I will eat anything in front of me... I hate myself after and then what sucks why I binge eat I sometimes never go back to the diet. It's so hard getting back on track. I always feel hungry and that I'm thinking of food more than anything... :((( I need help
Yep things always happen during my diet plan. After 2 or 3 day's diet restriction and satisfying weight loss, my mindset just collapses and I'm craving for everything. And then I just ruin my weight loss overnight:(
I use to deal with the same thing, just take it slow and focus on your goal.. Do not deprive yourself of calories. Try to just go to sleep earlier at night, tony Robbins the body you deserve is a huge help as well. If you have the urge to binge do something else like Stefan said replace the habit with a positive one!
I have a binge eating disorder and I've had it for a long time… I just thought it was all my fault and never really understood why I couldn't function properly. I've been through psychologists, ayurveda, life coaching and finally met an amazing doctor that is helping me overcome this! Thank you SO MUCH for your help! I don't feel alone anymore
This whole binge eating thing is a trip to me. Im training currently for one of the hardest jobs in the military. Prepping physically and mentally Vigorously, If you only understood how difficult some of this stuff is that I do. No matter how hard I try, I cannot seem to overcome this. It is the most difficult challenge I've had to face yet. I can drown myself in a pool all day long but I cannot get over this fuckin Binge eating thing. I just downloaded that book, lets give it a try. Never Quit.
+Blaine Littleford Hi Blaine, always keep your hope! It's been 2 years since I've binged and I know that during that time, I felt like I could never get out of it. But you can. Just keep focusing on making progress, working on yourself, learning about it and you will overcome it soon enough.
I know exactly how you feel. I relapsed about two years ago and I can't shake this at all. I went from having nice curves, a pretty body, a happy mind, and a healthy lifestyle but now it's all different! I'm about to download the book too. I hope we both, and everyone else can overcome this!! Have a good one!!!
I’ve been struggling with this problem for 4 years. It got worst and worst as time went on. I’ve always been the skinny girl among my friends, and I wanted to keep it that way. So I would starve myself often times and when I started binging, I would fast the next few days or over exercise myself to the point where I feel like fainting. It became a loop and it later became a coping mechanism for my emotion, whenever I felt stressed, sad or depressed, I would stuff my face with food. I remember when I lost my dad, I gained almost 8 pounds in 3 days. I couldn’t bare looking at myself in the mirror and that’s when I developed bulimia, I basically started purging and binging. I’m still trying to overcome this disorder and hopefully I will in 2022.
You helped me overcome my video game addiction, and I am so very grateful. I’ve been binge eating for about 4 years, and I’m severely overweight. Though, I’m sure you can help me overcome this too. Thank you so much for your videos. If it weren’t for you, I would be spending the whole summer in my room playing games. Instead, I now find time to learn new things, and spend time with family. But now I’ve just been really insecure about my body and my eating habits... binge eating has a very strong hold on me. But I know I can do this.
i binge eat, its my remedy to anxiety and depression - but yes it can make it worse. To tackle this addiction I joined the gym which forced me to change my habits as it would weaken my efficacy at the gym. I am now in a second lockdown in UK and no gyms are open. I am alone and depressed, the binge eating has returned. I hope the world fixes itself soon...
Girl it's easy to feel out of control but think about it like an anxiety attack. Think of something that grounds you, that calms you down. If you catch yourself doing it, drop the food immediately and go for a walk. Remove yourself from the situation. It will get easier babygirl
This is the best video I have ever seen on this topic!! I've read so many books and watched so many videos on it, but thank you so much, so so much, because nothing has ever made as much sense - or seemed so completely feasible - as this!
Thank you so much, I am 15 and been very scared and intimidated by my bulimia and binge eating. Can relate so much to you. THank you, less scared now, motivated to help myself!
I just want to say thank you for being brave and talking about this. I was severely anorexic and that turned into binge eating and I was so ashamed and I didn't tell anyone because I just felt disgusting. I was ashamed that I did this, and I should be stronger than it. So again, thank you for bringing this up in a way that empowers me to be able to get help and not be ashamed anymore. Shame just leads to more binge eating.
You know, I don't think this happened by chance, that I just had an evening binging like crazy, asking myself afterwards why this happens again and again and suddenly youtube led me to your video. I've been dieting and binging since I was 13, I'm about to be 27 and I can't live like this anymore. Last year I lost 20 pounds eating healthy and exercising, I was in such a good place and thought I changed my lifestyle for good, but binging came back into my life with the new year and ruined all my health goals I worked so hard for in just a few months. I need to start asking myself and analysing what made me go back. If I don't stop I will cross my highest weight ever, and also get more health problems. Thank your for this important video. I will for sure get the book because I'm ready to end this eating horror in my life. It is good to know you're not alone and that it is possible to overcome it. Thank you.
Thank you so fkn much, bing eating has brought so much pain in life. Listening to you, reading the material, and applying it everyday has brought on a whole other level of confidence and success in my life.
I have to say that out of the countless video's I have watched on techniques on how to stop binge eating this is the most effective one so far. I love how you are straight to the point, and can contribute personal experience into what you are teaching. Thank you!
Omg Stefan i honestly love you! I think that what makes this video so genuine and reliable is that you've live that in person. I can see you're one of those persons who truly wants to change the world. Congratulations because the world needs more people like you. Thank you very much!
😢😭 i typically never write comments on stuff like this because well first.. its hard to admit & who wants to say they need help.. but I just wanted to thank you for making this video.. it had me in tears & you had me giggling. I just discovered recently this kind of behaviour within myself & i didn't understand why i was doing this.. i never had eating problems.. until i started dieting about 1 year ago.. it would be on & off.. I would do great like you said.. take two step forward & than take two back.. than id get my ass in the gym ( & still do) to burn off the excess cals.. & this occurs every 2-3 days... just happened to me last night to be honest. I felt so sick but I just couldn't stop.. i even said the words out loud.. i cant stop what is happening.. even tho i was stuffed like a balloon i still had to eat.. & its hard for me to accept & to talk about but its reality... everything you said i do.. 😞 i'm going to buy this book right now & hopefully this will help me. its hard for me to wrap my brain around the fact that i need to stop dieting but i want to be fit, i enjoy working out but at this point its just so excessive.. its the hardest thing I've ever had to dealt with in my life.. i never thought i would be this kind of person but i am.. but anyways, i just wanted to say thank you because i can see how passionate you are about this & i felt like i needed to tell you that you did a great job, this video helped me. thank you & best of luck with everything.
I have just realised that I have an eating disorder, because I've run away from the truth for quite a long time now. I realised it and searched for a way to change my life. Because this is killing me, I went from anorexia to binge eating and I just want all this eating issues to be over so much! Thanks for this incredible Video, I think I'm gonna by this book and I feel like I finally made one step into the right direction!
I don't have an eating disorder, but for the past three weeks I did some binge eating. At my job there are vending machines and sometimes FREE cake in the refrigerator. Every day for the past couple of weeks I have craved something sweet and ate something sweet and I eat a little more of it every day. I recently lost 25 pounds (after changing my eating habits and exercising daily), but a couple of weeks ago I made the mistake of having a piece of the best chocolate cake ever that was sitting on my friends kitchen counter. After I ate that piece of cake, the next day I needed something sweet and I no longer had any control. This is what I believe happened...I had not been eating anything with sugar all summer. I kicked my sugar addiction so I didn't crave it anymore. Like someone who kicks a drug habit. But once I had that tiny slither of chocolate cake, I reintroduced sugar into my body and it was like I relapsed and my addiction to sugar started all over again. Today I plan to talk myself out of eating the cake in the refrigerator at work by watching these videos. I wanted to inhale the whole cake just 30 minutes ago, not to mention other sweet cravings over the past four hours. Like a superhuman Zombie the sweet-urge wanted to walk me toward the cake. My brain kept saying "I want cake. I want cake. It's not going to hurt you. Just have a little slice of cake." I was having withdrawal symptoms. I wanted that cake and I would have pushed Bigfoot out of my way to get it. Now after letting the restlessness, anxiety, vampire-like urges pass, I finally feel normal again. I packed all kinds of healthy foods with me today. I was going to beat this. For my sweet, I had pears, baked yams, and watermelon. I also brought along meat and veggies. After embracing these urges which seemed to last four hours, I have weathered the storm. I feel normal again. I do not want to eat every sweet thing in sight. The urges have subsided. They might hit me again at 8pm. I will deal with them then.
Actually I'm not having binge, or any eating disorders, i'm just writing my Uni assignment about "finding the best way to tackle eating disorders". So I went on RUclips and watched this video. But the ways you suggested, are not only be able to deal with Binge, but can also deal with MANY other bad PATTERNS. I'm a very very procrastinatory person, procrastinate to cook, to do my assignments, to get up from bed, to achieve my goals. I have tried a lot of different ways to stop procrastinating. Of course, a person who procrastinate, also procrastinate to CHANGE. I don't cook or eat anything for a whole day due to my laziness, and not doing anything else. BUT, what you suggested and what you shared, is really IMPRESSIVE to me. My successful experience is to play piano immediately after I woke up, and my days didn't waste! :) RIGHT, I'm sure playing piano is my powerful alternative for me to stop my bad pattern Thanks a lot for sharing such a worthy video! I think I know what to write in my assignment :D
+Anthea Leung I'm dealing with the same issue, laziness and procrastinating + I'm a little overweight which is damaging my self-esteem big time... I wish I could get out there, be active and just get shit done as quickly as possible, I started eating healthy 2 days ago, and I'm planning to go to the gym, it really helps to tackle lethargy. Good luck for you :)
+Nesrine Makhfi I'm sure you will be successful! :) What i'm having for my targets is also to eat healthy, use the least of my time to do things as much as possible. Actually i'm doing good right now, let's be the one we wanna be, we all will be able to be the best of us when we successfully defeat our weakness, our only greatest weakness!
+Anthea Leung As much as i stop eating and diet no results and now i started going to the gym and even worse results and started hating myself and started to blame God and i sometime put in my mind that suicide and eternal hell is better than this piece of shit life. But do you have any ideas of losing weight ?
+Gentleman Dear Gentleman :) I can see that you really have the heart to lose weight, it is a really good start already! But what I want to say is that CHNAGE is a very very challenging thing for everyone, determined people can change themselves easily compared to me because they really take action after they have decided to change. But Im not a determined person, I always got targets but rarely take action. Same as you, I always hate myself, I told my family and my boyfriend that I hate myself the most, I am the worst person in the world. But, I wont give it up. because there is nothing worse than losing to yourself. Do you get what I mean? CHANGE takes time, I am a very procrastinating and lazy person because I use to be very procrastinating since I was born. I am now 21, that means I have been being so lazy for 21 years already. Then, how can you expect to only spend 1 year/ 2 years to become a hard working person?! This is IMPOSSIBLE. If you have been obsessed for 5 years or 10 years, or even for the whole life, then please understand that you may need to spend 3,5,7 years to become a skinny person. In the chaining progress, we need to understand human is weak, I see you may be a impatient person so you see things are not turning out with good results, then you think what you are doing is useless. However, Being patient is what we need to have. Not only having patience to the progress, but also to have patience to ourselves.
+Gentleman What's more, as human is weak, god is here to help us :) I am confident because of God, he helps me to change. I see you faith in God, do you know God is still near by you to help you? Please treasure your life because your life is valuable. I still need to say is, please be patient, to yourself and to god as well. As God said that "Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For the LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him" (Isaiah 30:18). Therefore, wait for him patiently. When we pray, God hears more than we say, he answers more than we ask, he gives more than we imagine, but in his own time and in his own way. Regarding the ways to lose weight... I am not sure if I can suggest you any effective ways, but I think the first step is to have a balance eating habit and eat heavily. I trying so hard to not allow myself to eat junk food because I have bad skins. I think the principle is similar to stop yourself from eating too much. I will try to keep my home away from junk food, when I want to have something to eat, I will eat fruit or chew gum or watch drama to help myself from not wanting to eat junk food. I think you can try finding friends, doing sports when you want to eat. What I think is you need to do what you love to, then it can help you to stop eating. I love playing piano and when I play it, I will solely focus on it. When I watching drama I will solely focus on drama. It may be helpful if you can find something that can replace eating. That's all what my opinion, i m sorry that my english is not very good so you may find it hard to read... I hope it is helpful for you to lose weight and to have a positive thinking!!! If you do not go church, just try to go sometimes :)
Omg you saved my life :'D! Thank you soooo much, I felt so alone and secretive until now. When I finally got the courage to reach out for help and tell my Mom... She was in denial and claimed it was a natural teenager growth phase and I just craved food.... So then I just felt more alone because I knew this wasn't right as I have a passion to be a nutritionist when I graduate high school and believe deeply in the benefits of healthy eating. Thank you sooooo much! Your video has changed my life :D I will always remember this, omg thank you
The visualization technique worked instantly ... killed my desire for my binge food of choice. Now I need to repeat the exercise every time. Thanks so much!
Thanks i restricted my body for over 2 years, until i just couldn't handle it anymore and started binging on ice cream cake candy anything u can think of, its a never ending cycle.
I've had this video opened in a tab for about a full week before I watched it. So glad I didn't close it because I can relate to everything you've said here. Like people are saying, we can't help but feel alone with our binge eating problems even though we know many others do it. Your video helps to break down this wall and let us know that our experiences aren't all that different from other's and that there is a way to get out of this horrible habit. I got an online version of the book and have begun to read it. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for this!!! I have gotten better with my binge eating, lost a good amount of weight, but it still creeps up on me. I have a long way to go till I'm where I want to be and I'm going to take your advice. I actually bought the Brain Over Binge book a long time ago and its been gathering dust. Time to start tonight!! I just had a two day binge and I'm tired of it....
I'm so glad I finally realized what I'm doing wrong. Im also happy to see that even "skinny" people have this problem. I would literally just binge on anything. I have eaten a whole sleeve of bread before because I just couldn't stop myself. ❤ thank you
Thank you so much. I can feel your words coming from the heart. It's nice to feel that I'm not alone in my feelings and that I can do this and overcome this eventually. I'm almost at my ideal weight, but this is about the time when I start sabotaging myself, get impatient and mess up.
It's very rare that I actually learn something new, or think about things in a new way, or get USEFUL tips/resources that I'm not already doing/using, from a video on RUclips. This video was great, thanks.
Thank u so much, it's a very helpful video, binge eat out of boredom and when im anxious I'm lucky that im not obese but I'm starting to see the weight creep up and if I don't stop who knows how I'll end up.
Thank you for suggesting, I am now reading Brain over Binge... Just lately realised that I have a binging problem after last year I lost around 30kgs from practically starving myself unintentionally. I never threw up or anything, I just ate very little, went through a bad break up and just shed the extra weight away, but I know it was very quick and lately I have found myself binging too much, too frequently... I am gaining weight again and I need to keep it under control. I just want to be healthy..... I think this book will revolutionize the way I think about food. And your video is very inspirational... Thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing how you overcame binge eating. I am lucky enough to find your video when my binging pattern started developing. I was like really clueless and helpless and had no idea why I have this issue recently. I started my fitness journey 5 months ago and was quite restrictive on my diet. As you said, I isn't give any high calories days. Thank you so much. Can't find a word to express how I feel hopeful and thankful after watching your video.
5 minutes into this and this sounds just like me!!! I've been into health and fitness. I've gotten in shape I've lost weight and know so much and am having the hardest time after having my second baby. I know for a fact I'm an emotional eater. When I exercise and commit, I go hard but I just haven't been able to. It's horrible.
Wow what you have gone through are the same with what I'm going trough right now. I must buy that book ASAP, I want to get out from this binge-circle once and for all! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your advice, I have suffered from this my whole life and never understood why I was doing it. I never understood how some people have such will power over food and I am so weak. I am going to give this book and course you recommended a try.! Again Thank you!
Monera SQ Guess that's not so good. Und though somehow I'm relieved to know that I'm not the only one here who does it. Hope, we both get better pretty soon xxxxx
talented pineapple *hahaha* Yes, I said "und" *loool* Haven't noticed it before. That's funny. So always feel free to ask me your questions if you've got some during your German class. I can help you.
yep, Brain Over Binge is gold!! thank you for sharing and INSISTING that your viewers buy and read it! Unbelievable. I do not even like reading books usually, but taking a few days to read this book was utterly life-changing!!!!!! thank you!!
I had a bad binge last night. I couldn't sleep it was keeping me up thinking how weak I am to keep repeating the same bad habits over and over again. Thank you for your video it reminded me the animal brain has taken over and I am in control over the way I react to situations. I've struggled with body issues my entire life and your video is another reminder of hope that I needed to hear right now. Thank you again.
I've been binging since as long as I can remember! I've been in and out of these 'eating spells' for awhile now. Up until recently, I had the longest success of not overeating for about 8 months, and I was so happy. School and work have gotten the best of me though, and I've been eating like crazy and exercising in mass amounts just to keep the weight off for about a week now. Out of desperation, I looked up videos realizing I HAVE TO STOP THIS. I just bought the Kindle version of Brain over Binge now, and I really hope to change my whole mindset on this. Thanks for the tools Stephan.
This really helped, the whole "your dog shite on your favorite food" ( I usually binge on sugary cereal) Then the cycle begins... I'm going to try and take your advice, and try to overcome this. Thank you so much.
WOOWW!! what just happened!?!? I had a conversation with my parents this afternoon about my binge eating and my over weight. I was praying before going to bed and I asked God for mercy. I cant take this any longer. Like you said it is a lot of pain. Not sure why I do binge eating, but after watching your video all makes sense now. After you explained about the animal side versus the human side of our brain, I felt like something hit my head so hard. Of course, it makes sense. Since I was little girl, the things I have gone through, life taught me how jus to survive. And this is how my brain reacts to many things in my life, Just survive. Now my relationship with food makes total sense. Thank you so much. I will get the tools you gave me in this video and let you know!! God bless you!!
I just went through the EXACT same thing in preparation for a bikini competition; the training felt easy until one day the binge switch snapped. Working on recovery right now; thank you for sharing your story!
Thank you so much!!! I’m suffering so badly right now and I just implemented no contact with my ex narcissistic abuser a few months ago, but the ptsd has triggered my binge eating to come back. I’m so grateful for your honesty and help. 💕🙏
I actually burst into tears watching this because I could relate so much to it. Now every time I think of ice-cream, pastries, pizza or any high carb, high fat food, I'm going to think of it covered in shit!! lol.
Thank you for this video!! I have been binging for nearly 10 years and cant seem to stop...all from stress, anxiety and depression...definitely need to swap my bad habits with healthy ones to hopefully improve my mental health. Thanks for your help :)
I came across your video, I was looking up stuff on overcoming binge eating, thank you for the suggestions and sharing what you went through, I will order the book !
I usually binge eat when I'm bored. When I'm in school I'm usually fine but on weekends and breaks and I'm home alone with nothing to do, I eat a lot
Subscriptions thats me thats clearly the only reason why i binge eat
Me too :( especially during quarantine and if sucks so much
Camila Galvan same plus the depression and anxiety
Its all about creating a new habit. I had this issue in the past. Now when ever I get a "urge" I quickly make green tea. So i basically replaced that bad habit with a good habit. Now green tea represents good health to me. Keeps my mind straight.
That's a great strategy!
+JagWar wow our minds think alike .i am also applying the same strategy. besides i love green tea .
+JagWar I'm gonna start doing this!!
+JagWar Thanks for sharing that, I'm going to try that strategy.
Machismo awesome idea I post on this topic and lot and I really enjoy this suggestion
Couldn't help but start crying right from the 5th minute . The thing that kills me about binge eating is the after guilt. I really felt good after listening to you. Pray for me and let's hope for the best. Thank you.
I just binged and I feel horrible. I'm starting my recovery right now!
Me too. I just ate a shit ton when I didn't want to! I hate myself right now...AGAIN...3rd time this week UGH!! I gotta break myself of this pattern!!
I'm trying so hard to stop binge eating. I've literally gained 5 pounds in only 3 days :(
How’s it going?
U can do it stay positive
I know how you feel, I binge eat too and I gained 20 pounds in a few weeks :( I hate it
Anyone else struggle with this after 'clean eating'???? blahhhhhhh x.x
Me, kind of. But it is not clean eating what causes this, but clean eating did just masked my disorder. We have to fix cause first.
Oh by the way only time I feel great after the binge, when it was fruits and oatmeals. I could run marathon next day, only if my knees and muscles would cooperate...
***** have you tried increase your calorie intake? I usually got those MASSIVE and EXTREME binges after some kind of restriction and more healthy and not so big ones after eating more moderately.

I have very similiar experience with sugar and binges. I think you actually need some sugar even to battle candida (for your white bood cells) and if it also helps you with your urges to binge, that is great.
You have to eat enough to heal faster. Think about food as an fuel, it helped me a little.
Hope you will get better soon!
***** Hmmm
I was thinking about candida once, because I found some pretty interesting articles out there pointing to the opinion, that candida is not real disease and it is bogus.
Do some research on: "Is candida real" and check for medical sites and trustworthy research. Make your own mind.
You may put yourself trough so much hell for nothing.
Also low carbohydrate diet is not natural and unless you not have mastered dietary ketosis, you would never feel good on such diet.
I would encourage you to think about this.
Healthy and sustainable diet (centred on wholesome foods) is the key for healing process and for better life.
I binge on broccoli, peanut butter, whole wheat bread
I agree with everything you said and the info is how I stopped binge eating too. Last summer when I felt the urge to binge, I went into our backyard and sat under the gazebo tent/canopy. I asked myself what was bothering me and if I could change it. The urge to binge usually went away within 20 minutes. I sat with the pain/stress/boredom/loneliness instead of stuffing it down with food. Meditation helps a lot and associating pain with those foods. I realized the junk food wasn't comforting at all because I would be so sick afterwards. (mentally, physically, and emotionally)
Thanks for sharing! Definitely meditation helps build willpower, there's a lot of awesome studies on that in the book The Willpower Instinct.
I like what you did there. I'm going to try that.
I've been revisiting this video every May for the past 5 years. This video saved my life in May 2015. Forever grateful.
I was over a friends house and it was a party, there were about three large boxes of pizza from pizza hut and so we all ate about 30 minutes later knowing I wasn't hungry I went back and at the last of the pizza there was half a box left. When I binge eat I don't even realise if im full or not I just eat because its there and its good. I feel so guilty afterwards and yet I do it again. It took me a while to stop, but I've recovered thanks to this video.
Im 5'3 and weigh over 200 pounds because of this eating disorder. I havent thought i needed to change until recently i realized how much i hate looking into the mirror. Starting now i am making a change. Wish me luck
I've had this disorder since freshman year now i'm 18. I can't count how many times i would say "after today this problem stops". Then i would see food and binge. Boredom, emotional, not hungry and right before bed. It has become a routine. I work out, eat organic and not really any meat except for chicken, but i have no self control when it comes to food. I've felt like i lived with this secret during high school that know one would expect i had, and it affected the way i lived my life. I wish i would have gotten help earlier but i didn't know what it is. Hopefully tomorrow i decide to make this personal change for ever :( Thanks for the inspiration
I stoped binge eating as a miracle after all ive been through EVERYONE can stop it you will be healthy and feel good about your self i promise
But how did you stop? It's not easy...
I'm in tears listening to you. Its like you know my life. I feel so helpless all the time
You know you're desperate for change when you find yourself going to youtube for answers, your video was exactly what i was looking for. I know you understand the state of urgency I'm feeling for change in my life and I'm going to try this advice and read that book and begin the process of making those changes
I clicked on this thinking it was going to be some kind of advertisement lacking real information, but I was very wrong. You are so sincere and genuinely want to give back to help others who are experiencing this! Thank you.
I dropped 50 pounds in 5 months and reached my lowest weight, I was happy and confident. But I gained it all back and then some in 4 months and gained it all back. 7 months later I'm at the highest weight I've ever been and can't seem to push myself to start.
I just watched this about two weeks ago and I have gone 5 days without binging. THANK YOU! Brain over Binge and The Body You Deserve were crucial. It gave me a whole new way to approach the issue. I appreciate it!
I didn't know that other people felt this way too. Thank you so much for this.
I binge on healthy food! I would eat too much of healthy whole food till im not feeling well!! This is crazy
I binge everyday :'( i dont wanna be obese, but im emotionally unstable right now, that i dont have self control :(
How are you doing now?
Oh my god I can't believe that there so much people out there, who have the exact same problem as me, binge eating..
This video is just amazing and I am sure, that when I do it exactly how you explain or how you overcame that, I will do that too! It helped me out so much, thank you:)
Thank you.
I am on the verge of tears right now because I really feel like, for once, I can make a change. Everything you've been saying has really got me thinking and you have given me so much hope so thank you. Really, really, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
+ShadowCloudcc You're welcome!! You can do it, I believe in you!
+ShadowCloudcc good luck you know you can do it!
ShadowCloudcc Good luck! It may seem hard but I am sure you will do it. Let us know what happens
I wish you all the best in your journey.
Good luck,I'm sure you can do it ☺
Thank you . I had 37 days . I amazed myself. I had a stressful event and today is my first day digging out of a 6 day binge hole. No desire to even binge. Its the slip that gets me. Self sabotage. Black and white. Im a failure thinking... I'm pulling up every video that speaks to me. You are one
i just ordered the book!......i am 65, i have SUFFERED with binge eating since i was 13!.......................wow......i have never given up hope......sure worth a try!
literally crying right now. your experience is shown through your passion and I took this video as a motivation to try to overcome my binge eating. this disorder is so mean to us it can kill us and it has to be stopped
About one year ago I went on an extreme diet and lost 30lbs and I remember binging once in a while and feeling so guilty and now one year later I'm almost at where I was before dieting and I binge almost every day and it's making me hate myself and I don't get support from anyone I hope I'll be able to make a change after watching this video it would seriously make me so happy 😪
the funny part is I binge on healthy organic food, ( maybe not so funny) but I'm vegan so it's mostly carbs, I've gained undesired weight
ari sontay I binged on oatmeal 😆
ari sontay Omg i thought i was the only one. I will binfe on bags of nuts and bread and everything
ari sontay yes! This is me ...
YES 😮 i have eat an entire bag of dates 😰 its 1kg
Omg, same!!! It's awful 😭
Man!!! Thank you for sharing this!!! I have been dealing with this problem ever since I´m a kid and I´ve tried a lot of stuff. I´m getting the book and the course and I´ll let u know. But first I wanted to thank u again for sharing not only the resources, but your story. Thanks for the hope!
W-O-W I never thought a simple youtube video could make me feel such deep emotions of determination and self-esteem. I have been looking all over the internet for something to help me and I just wish I could meet you to give you an enormous hug. I honestly feel like someone just stabbed my chest and injected some kind of positivity serum. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I binge on nuts!!healthy,unsalted nuts...I easily have 1000 calories in one sitting just binging on nuts:(
Same
I'm gonna switch it up to broccoli/carrots/celery
Those have very little calories for a large amount
i already eat alot of vegetables and still binge on nuts like crazy!!, the only solution for me is avoid buying nuts:D
This is the truest video about binge eating... Unfortunately it's soo sad 😢 I used to intermittent fasting eating healthy.. Then I went on a water fast.. While refeeding hell broke loose and am eating uncontrollably.. I can't even intermittent fast as I used to..
as a 15 year old i feel as if being " fit " is one of the most important things that way you wont be judged. i lost 18lbs in one month from starving myself, i was already pretty slim but losing those 18lbs made me way way slimmer i lost so much muscle mass. i used to weight 160 but in the month i went down to 146 and then started to diet which made me go to 140lbs in another 3 weeks. im now binge eating everyday and im up to 147 in 2 weeks. i need to stop before i start staving myself again.
Thank you for this. I've been needing this... I've been through so many ups and downs. From anorexia, to gaining healthy weight (I am still at a healthy weight) to trying to overcome over eating.
No problem Natalie, good luck, you can beat it!
Been anorexic and bulimic for 15 years, I feel like I'm alive, but not really living. I have tried everything to try to stop: hospital twice, I even tried getting rid of all the trigger foods, but found I'll binge on anything. I just want to be a good mum to my kids instead of being an embarrassment. I am so ashamed that even my partner doesn't know, and sneaking around behind his back is tearing me apart. To fuel my habit I ate food out of bins and even stole from my family. I recently started ashtanga yoga and that is helping me be strong again and deal with intense depression which I have recently linked to my eating disorder: the desire to be someone I'm not and too impatient and downright lazy to put in the work. Starving seemed like an easy option but I've since learned to steer clear of quick fixes. I recently went off seafood in a massive way after a bad experience; are you seriously saying I can do this with chocolate and meat? I really want to be a vegetarian, but for me, it has to feel like the natural thing to do. Do I seriously have to become (gulp) A FUSSY EATER? I used to love art, reading, dancing, but I haven't done any of these things for almost 10 years. I am going to try this, because frankly, I've got nothing left to lose. I am saddened to hear there are others going through this and I know how alone you must feel and how terrified you are of being judged. I don't judge you. You don't have to hide. We are not terrible people and we deserve to give this a go. Up until now I have truly sucked at life, maybe it's time to have a go at winning. At the moment when i hear about how people got over their disorder it just makes me feel 10 times worse because i'm like I'll never do that, stop with the gloating. i am so glad I watched this.
2 years ago, I came across this video and completely identified with your story. It was exactly what happened to me. I dieted for a competition and fell into the binge habit. It gradually got worse over the course of 2 years, and I gained 30 lbs. I couldn't stop. I thought all hope was gone. I found this video, bought the book, and never looked back. That was 2 years ago, I lost all of the weight, I eat and exercise like a normal person. My life has never been better. Sometimes the habit still kind of rears it's head, but I'm smart enough now not to fall in the cycle. I will never forget how bad things were, and I will always, always be grateful that you posted this.
I knew I needed help when I actually took some chips that some other guy threw away at the office. it was still in the bag so it was still "fresh" and without damage so I took it. hid in the bathroom and shoved it down my throat like I haven't eaten in a week and that was maybe an hour or two after lunch.
I cried myself to sleep that day this is so serious and I'm not even fat I look thin but I can already tell I'm putting on some weight. I never had this problem it began when I wanted to have a healthier life and so I read and researched and started to go on this "diet" where I completly changed my diet and restrictions this got me to think about Food all day everyday Im afraid I turned to this eating piggy monster and I just want to end this before it's way to late...
I would try to "diet" and I would do good the 1st day and 2nd day then 3rs day comes around I'm okay until night time. I'm like a hungry wolf. I will eat anything in front of me... I hate myself after and then what sucks why I binge eat I sometimes never go back to the diet. It's so hard getting back on track. I always feel hungry and that I'm thinking of food more than anything... :((( I need help
Yep things always happen during my diet plan. After 2 or 3 day's diet restriction and satisfying weight loss, my mindset just collapses and I'm craving for everything. And then I just ruin my weight loss overnight:(
Zihan Yang omgggg me toooo night time I'm like a monster. Do not get in my way.. :(
I use to deal with the same thing, just take it slow and focus on your goal.. Do not deprive yourself of calories. Try to just go to sleep earlier at night, tony Robbins the body you deserve is a huge help as well. If you have the urge to binge do something else like Stefan said replace the habit with a positive one!
Green tea. A LOT of green tea, especially when you get hungry.
I have a binge eating disorder and I've had it for a long time… I just thought it was all my fault and never really understood why I couldn't function properly. I've been through psychologists, ayurveda, life coaching and finally met an amazing doctor that is helping me overcome this! Thank you SO MUCH for your help! I don't feel alone anymore
This whole binge eating thing is a trip to me. Im training currently for one of the hardest jobs in the military. Prepping physically and mentally Vigorously, If you only understood how difficult some of this stuff is that I do. No matter how hard I try, I cannot seem to overcome this. It is the most difficult challenge I've had to face yet. I can drown myself in a pool all day long but I cannot get over this fuckin Binge eating thing. I just downloaded that book, lets give it a try.
Never Quit.
+Blaine Littleford I hear you. I feel exactly the same.
its gone man, the book is gold. been done 4days after this comment
+Blaine Littleford has it really gone? Did the books help?
+Blaine Littleford Hi Blaine, always keep your hope! It's been 2 years since I've binged and I know that during that time, I felt like I could never get out of it. But you can. Just keep focusing on making progress, working on yourself, learning about it and you will overcome it soon enough.
I know exactly how you feel. I relapsed about two years ago and I can't shake this at all. I went from having nice curves, a pretty body, a happy mind, and a healthy lifestyle but now it's all different! I'm about to download the book too. I hope we both, and everyone else can overcome this!! Have a good one!!!
I’ve been struggling with this problem for 4 years. It got worst and worst as time went on. I’ve always been the skinny girl among my friends, and I wanted to keep it that way. So I would starve myself often times and when I started binging, I would fast the next few days or over exercise myself to the point where I feel like fainting. It became a loop and it later became a coping mechanism for my emotion, whenever I felt stressed, sad or depressed, I would stuff my face with food. I remember when I lost my dad, I gained almost 8 pounds in 3 days. I couldn’t bare looking at myself in the mirror and that’s when I developed bulimia, I basically started purging and binging. I’m still trying to overcome this disorder and hopefully I will in 2022.
Reading "Brain over Binge" by Kathryn Hansen saved my life.
Reading the book because of you. No words, thank you.
I started out with anorexia, then bulimia and now binge eating but always wanting to be as skinny as I was before. I have never been so inspired
You helped me overcome my video game addiction, and I am so very grateful. I’ve been binge eating for about 4 years, and I’m severely overweight. Though, I’m sure you can help me overcome this too. Thank you so much for your videos. If it weren’t for you, I would be spending the whole summer in my room playing games. Instead, I now find time to learn new things, and spend time with family. But now I’ve just been really insecure about my body and my eating habits... binge eating has a very strong hold on me. But I know I can do this.
i binge eat, its my remedy to anxiety and depression - but yes it can make it worse. To tackle this addiction I joined the gym which forced me to change my habits as it would weaken my efficacy at the gym. I am now in a second lockdown in UK and no gyms are open. I am alone and depressed, the binge eating has returned. I hope the world fixes itself soon...
Just had a large serving of pasta,4 slices of pizza and Big Mac, small pumpkin spice latte ....omg I'm doing it again
Girl it's easy to feel out of control but think about it like an anxiety attack. Think of something that grounds you, that calms you down. If you catch yourself doing it, drop the food immediately and go for a walk. Remove yourself from the situation. It will get easier babygirl
And about the void we are trying to fill when we binge is so true! I feel like it's emotional and when I do binge I'm tryin to fufill something.
When you started talking about how you felt after I binge I couldn't control myself because that is exactly how I feel....thank you for the video
Thankyou so much I was just praying to god to help me with my binge eating, I clicked RUclips and you popped up
Thank you for being transparent, because knowing someone truly overcame what your suffering with now is the difference between living and existing.
Thank you so much for making this video. Been fighting binge eating for over 25 years. Time to stop.
This is the best video I have ever seen on this topic!! I've read so many books and watched so many videos on it, but thank you so much, so so much, because nothing has ever made as much sense - or seemed so completely feasible - as this!
***** Thank you! I'm so happy to be able to be useful :-)
i think this might be the first time i cried during a youtube video
ill definitely check out the resources and thank you so much for the inspiration !
Glad to hear the video helped!
Thank you so much, I am 15 and been very scared and intimidated by my bulimia and binge eating. Can relate so much to you. THank you, less scared now, motivated to help myself!
I just want to say thank you for being brave and talking about this. I was severely anorexic and that turned into binge eating and I was so ashamed and I didn't tell anyone because I just felt disgusting. I was ashamed that I did this, and I should be stronger than it. So again, thank you for bringing this up in a way that empowers me to be able to get help and not be ashamed anymore. Shame just leads to more binge eating.
You know, I don't think this happened by chance, that I just had an evening binging like crazy, asking myself afterwards why this happens again and again and suddenly youtube led me to your video. I've been dieting and binging since I was 13, I'm about to be 27 and I can't live like this anymore. Last year I lost 20 pounds eating healthy and exercising, I was in such a good place and thought I changed my lifestyle for good, but binging came back into my life with the new year and ruined all my health goals I worked so hard for in just a few months. I need to start asking myself and analysing what made me go back. If I don't stop I will cross my highest weight ever, and also get more health problems. Thank your for this important video. I will for sure get the book because I'm ready to end this eating horror in my life. It is good to know you're not alone and that it is possible to overcome it. Thank you.
Thank you so fkn much, bing eating has brought so much pain in life. Listening to you, reading the material, and applying it everyday has brought on a whole other level of confidence and success in my life.
I have to say that out of the countless video's I have watched on techniques on how to stop binge eating this is the most effective one so far. I love how you are straight to the point, and can contribute personal experience into what you are teaching. Thank you!
Omg Stefan i honestly love you!
I think that what makes this video so genuine and reliable is that you've live that in person.
I can see you're one of those persons who truly wants to change the world.
Congratulations because the world needs more people like you.
Thank you very much!
😢😭 i typically never write comments on stuff like this because well first.. its hard to admit & who wants to say they need help.. but I just wanted to thank you for making this video.. it had me in tears & you had me giggling. I just discovered recently this kind of behaviour within myself & i didn't understand why i was doing this.. i never had eating problems.. until i started dieting about 1 year ago.. it would be on & off.. I would do great like you said.. take two step forward & than take two back.. than id get my ass in the gym ( & still do) to burn off the excess cals.. & this occurs every 2-3 days... just happened to me last night to be honest. I felt so sick but I just couldn't stop.. i even said the words out loud.. i cant stop what is happening.. even tho i was stuffed like a balloon i still had to eat.. & its hard for me to accept & to talk about but its reality... everything you said i do.. 😞 i'm going to buy this book right now & hopefully this will help me. its hard for me to wrap my brain around the fact that i need to stop dieting but i want to be fit, i enjoy working out but at this point its just so excessive.. its the hardest thing I've ever had to dealt with in my life.. i never thought i would be this kind of person but i am.. but anyways, i just wanted to say thank you because i can see how passionate you are about this & i felt like i needed to tell you that you did a great job, this video helped me. thank you & best of luck with everything.
I love that you mentioned how painful it is.
I have just realised that I have an eating disorder, because I've run away from the truth for quite a long time now. I realised it and searched for a way to change my life. Because this is killing me, I went from anorexia to binge eating and I just want all this eating issues to be over so much! Thanks for this incredible Video, I think I'm gonna by this book and I feel like I finally made one step into the right direction!
I don't have an eating disorder, but for the past three weeks I did some binge eating. At my job there are vending machines and sometimes FREE cake in the refrigerator. Every day for the past couple of weeks I have craved something sweet and ate something sweet and I eat a little more of it every day. I recently lost 25 pounds (after changing my eating habits and exercising daily), but a couple of weeks ago I made the mistake of having a piece of the best chocolate cake ever that was sitting on my friends kitchen counter. After I ate that piece of cake, the next day I needed something sweet and I no longer had any control. This is what I believe happened...I had not been eating anything with sugar all summer. I kicked my sugar addiction so I didn't crave it anymore. Like someone who kicks a drug habit. But once I had that tiny slither of chocolate cake, I reintroduced sugar into my body and it was like I relapsed and my addiction to sugar started all over again. Today I plan to talk myself out of eating the cake in the refrigerator at work by watching these videos. I wanted to inhale the whole cake just 30 minutes ago, not to mention other sweet cravings over the past four hours. Like a superhuman Zombie the sweet-urge wanted to walk me toward the cake. My brain kept saying "I want cake. I want cake. It's not going to hurt you. Just have a little slice of cake." I was having withdrawal symptoms. I wanted that cake and I would have pushed Bigfoot out of my way to get it. Now after letting the restlessness, anxiety, vampire-like urges pass, I finally feel normal again. I packed all kinds of healthy foods with me today. I was going to beat this. For my sweet, I had pears, baked yams, and watermelon. I also brought along meat and veggies. After embracing these urges which seemed to last four hours, I have weathered the storm. I feel normal again. I do not want to eat every sweet thing in sight. The urges have subsided. They might hit me again at 8pm. I will deal with them then.
Good job... Thanks for sharing 👏
Actually I'm not having binge, or any eating disorders, i'm just writing my Uni assignment about "finding the best way to tackle eating disorders". So I went on RUclips and watched this video.
But the ways you suggested, are not only be able to deal with Binge, but can also deal with MANY other bad PATTERNS. I'm a very very procrastinatory person, procrastinate to cook, to do my assignments, to get up from bed, to achieve my goals. I have tried a lot of different ways to stop procrastinating. Of course, a person who procrastinate, also procrastinate to CHANGE. I don't cook or eat anything for a whole day due to my laziness, and not doing anything else. BUT, what you suggested and what you shared, is really IMPRESSIVE to me. My successful experience is to play piano immediately after I woke up, and my days didn't waste! :) RIGHT, I'm sure playing piano is my powerful alternative for me to stop my bad pattern
Thanks a lot for sharing such a worthy video! I think I know what to write in my assignment :D
+Anthea Leung I'm dealing with the same issue, laziness and procrastinating + I'm a little overweight which is damaging my self-esteem big time...
I wish I could get out there, be active and just get shit done as quickly as possible, I started eating healthy 2 days ago, and I'm planning to go to the gym, it really helps to tackle lethargy. Good luck for you :)
+Nesrine Makhfi I'm sure you will be successful! :) What i'm having for my targets is also to eat healthy, use the least of my time to do things as much as possible. Actually i'm doing good right now, let's be the one we wanna be, we all will be able to be the best of us when we successfully defeat our weakness, our only greatest weakness!
+Anthea Leung
As much as i stop eating and diet no results and now i started going to the gym and even worse results and started hating myself and started to blame God and i sometime put in my mind that suicide and eternal hell is better than this piece of shit life. But do you have any ideas of losing weight ?
+Gentleman
Dear Gentleman :) I can see that you really have the heart to lose weight, it is a really good start already! But what I want to say is that CHNAGE is a very very challenging thing for everyone, determined people can change themselves easily compared to me because they really take action after they have decided to change. But Im not a determined person, I always got targets but rarely take action.
Same as you, I always hate myself, I told my family and my boyfriend that I hate myself the most, I am the worst person in the world. But, I wont give it up. because there is nothing worse than losing to yourself. Do you get what I mean? CHANGE takes time, I am a very procrastinating and lazy person because I use to be very procrastinating since I was born. I am now 21, that means I have been being so lazy for 21 years already. Then, how can you expect to only spend 1 year/ 2 years to become a hard working person?! This is IMPOSSIBLE. If you have been obsessed for 5 years or 10 years, or even for the whole life, then please understand that you may need to spend 3,5,7 years to become a skinny person.
In the chaining progress, we need to understand human is weak, I see you may be a impatient person so you see things are not turning out with good results, then you think what you are doing is useless. However, Being patient is what we need to have. Not only having patience to the progress, but also to have patience to ourselves.

What's more, as human is weak, god is here to help us :) I am confident because of God, he helps me to change. I see you faith in God, do you know God is still near by you to help you? Please treasure your life because your life is valuable. I still need to say is, please be patient, to yourself and to god as well. As God said that "Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For the LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him" (Isaiah 30:18). Therefore, wait for him patiently. When we pray, God hears more than we say, he answers more than we ask, he gives more than we imagine, but in his own time and in his own way.
Regarding the ways to lose weight... I am not sure if I can suggest you any effective ways, but I think the first step is to have a balance eating habit and eat heavily. I trying so hard to not allow myself to eat junk food because I have bad skins. I think the principle is similar to stop yourself from eating too much. I will try to keep my home away from junk food, when I want to have something to eat, I will eat fruit or chew gum or watch drama to help myself from not wanting to eat junk food. I think you can try finding friends, doing sports when you want to eat. What I think is you need to do what you love to, then it can help you to stop eating. I love playing piano and when I play it, I will solely focus on it. When I watching drama I will solely focus on drama. It may be helpful if you can find something that can replace eating.
That's all what my opinion, i m sorry that my english is not very good so you may find it hard to read... I hope it is helpful for you to lose weight and to have a positive thinking!!! If you do not go church, just try to go sometimes :)
Omg you saved my life :'D! Thank you soooo much, I felt so alone and secretive until now. When I finally got the courage to reach out for help and tell my Mom... She was in denial and claimed it was a natural teenager growth phase and I just craved food.... So then I just felt more alone because I knew this wasn't right as I have a passion to be a nutritionist when I graduate high school and believe deeply in the benefits of healthy eating. Thank you sooooo much! Your video has changed my life :D I will always remember this, omg thank you
The visualization technique worked instantly ... killed my desire for my binge food of choice. Now I need to repeat the exercise every time. Thanks so much!
Thanks i restricted my body for over 2 years, until i just couldn't handle it anymore and started binging on ice cream cake candy anything u can think of, its a never ending cycle.
you saved me by recommending Brain Over Binge. thank you so much for making this video. the brain over binge recovery guide cured me.
i cried the whole time watching this
I've had this video opened in a tab for about a full week before I watched it. So glad I didn't close it because I can relate to everything you've said here. Like people are saying, we can't help but feel alone with our binge eating problems even though we know many others do it. Your video helps to break down this wall and let us know that our experiences aren't all that different from other's and that there is a way to get out of this horrible habit. I got an online version of the book and have begun to read it. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for this!!! I have gotten better with my binge eating, lost a good amount of weight, but it still creeps up on me. I have a long way to go till I'm where I want to be and I'm going to take your advice. I actually bought the Brain Over Binge book a long time ago and its been gathering dust. Time to start tonight!! I just had a two day binge and I'm tired of it....
Guys never talk about this stuff. Super interesting. Thank you.
This video should be for every bad habit not only Binge eating, thanks Man
This video is the final piece that was missing! Didn’t even need the book... thank you for curing me from my addiction 🙌🏾
I'm so glad I finally realized what I'm doing wrong. Im also happy to see that even "skinny" people have this problem. I would literally just binge on anything. I have eaten a whole sleeve of bread before because I just couldn't stop myself. ❤ thank you
Thank you so much. I can feel your words coming from the heart. It's nice to feel that I'm not alone in my feelings and that I can do this and overcome this eventually. I'm almost at my ideal weight, but this is about the time when I start sabotaging myself, get impatient and mess up.
How you started binging is exactly my story! Thank you so much!!
It's very rare that I actually learn something new, or think about things in a new way, or get USEFUL tips/resources that I'm not already doing/using, from a video on RUclips. This video was great, thanks.
Thank u so much, it's a very helpful video, binge eat out of boredom and when im anxious I'm lucky that im not obese but I'm starting to see the weight creep up and if I don't stop who knows how I'll end up.
+Patricia Rodriguez That's my problem, too. stress and boredom!!!
Thank you for suggesting, I am now reading Brain over Binge... Just lately realised that I have a binging problem after last year I lost around 30kgs from practically starving myself unintentionally. I never threw up or anything, I just ate very little, went through a bad break up and just shed the extra weight away, but I know it was very quick and lately I have found myself binging too much, too frequently... I am gaining weight again and I need to keep it under control. I just want to be healthy..... I think this book will revolutionize the way I think about food. And your video is very inspirational... Thank you.
I really appreciate that honesty and vulnerability.
Thank you so much for sharing how you overcame binge eating. I am lucky enough to find your video when my binging pattern started developing. I was like really clueless and helpless and had no idea why I have this issue recently. I started my fitness journey 5 months ago and was quite restrictive on my diet. As you said, I isn't give any high calories days. Thank you so much. Can't find a word to express how I feel hopeful and thankful after watching your video.
5 minutes into this and this sounds just like me!!! I've been into health and fitness. I've gotten in shape I've lost weight and know so much and am having the hardest time after having my second baby. I know for a fact I'm an emotional eater. When I exercise and commit, I go hard but I just haven't been able to. It's horrible.
Wow what you have gone through are the same with what I'm going trough right now. I must buy that book ASAP, I want to get out from this binge-circle once and for all! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your advice, I have suffered from this my whole life and never understood why I was doing it. I never understood how some people have such will power over food and I am so weak. I am going to give this book and course you recommended a try.! Again Thank you!
Didn’t realize this issue was so common. Great video 😭👍🏾
I'm eating while watching this....
Me too

talented pineapple

talented pineapple
*hahaha* Yes, I said "und" *loool* Haven't noticed it before. That's funny.
So always feel free to ask me your questions if you've got some during your German class. I can help you.
yep, Brain Over Binge is gold!! thank you for sharing and INSISTING that your viewers buy and read it! Unbelievable. I do not even like reading books usually, but taking a few days to read this book was utterly life-changing!!!!!! thank you!!
You're video filled me with hope!
Thanks a lot! I'm going to start reading that book as soon as possible! :)
Jacques Boesinger No problem!
Project Life Mastery so empowering i feel like i can overcome this now thank you so much.
+Jacques Boesinger Great, I hope you enjoy it!
Thank you sooo much for your video and suggestions.
I am very tired of the patterns and bad eating habits I have
set for myself. Another life saved.
I had a bad binge last night. I couldn't sleep it was keeping me up thinking how weak I am to keep repeating the same bad habits over and over again. Thank you for your video it reminded me the animal brain has taken over and I am in control over the way I react to situations. I've struggled with body issues my entire life and your video is another reminder of hope that I needed to hear right now. Thank you again.
I've been binging since as long as I can remember! I've been in and out of these 'eating spells' for awhile now. Up until recently, I had the longest success of not overeating for about 8 months, and I was so happy. School and work have gotten the best of me though, and I've been eating like crazy and exercising in mass amounts just to keep the weight off for about a week now. Out of desperation, I looked up videos realizing I HAVE TO STOP THIS. I just bought the Kindle version of Brain over Binge now, and I really hope to change my whole mindset on this. Thanks for the tools Stephan.
This really helped, the whole "your dog shite on your favorite food" ( I usually binge on sugary cereal) Then the cycle begins... I'm going to try and take your advice, and try to overcome this. Thank you so much.
WOOWW!! what just happened!?!? I had a conversation with my parents this afternoon about my binge eating and my over weight. I was praying before going to bed and I asked God for mercy. I cant take this any longer. Like you said it is a lot of pain. Not sure why I do binge eating, but after watching your video all makes sense now. After you explained about the animal side versus the human side of our brain, I felt like something hit my head so hard. Of course, it makes sense. Since I was little girl, the things I have gone through, life taught me how jus to survive. And this is how my brain reacts to many things in my life, Just survive. Now my relationship with food makes total sense. Thank you so much. I will get the tools you gave me in this video and let you know!! God bless you!!
I just went through the EXACT same thing in preparation for a bikini competition; the training felt easy until one day the binge switch snapped. Working on recovery right now; thank you for sharing your story!
Thank you so much!!! I’m suffering so badly right now and I just implemented no contact with my ex narcissistic abuser a few months ago, but the ptsd has triggered my binge eating to come back. I’m so grateful for your honesty and help. 💕🙏
I actually burst into tears watching this because I could relate so much to it. Now every time I think of ice-cream, pastries, pizza or any high carb, high fat food, I'm going to think of it covered in shit!! lol.
Thank you for this video!! I have been binging for nearly 10 years and cant seem to stop...all from stress, anxiety and depression...definitely need to swap my bad habits with healthy ones to hopefully improve my mental health. Thanks for your help :)
Glad to help Rosie!
