Love this vlog, thanks Susan! Yes, what a gift to no longer have distress with food after decades of yo-yo dieting. Will celebrate my six year Bright Line Anniversary next month! Maintaining a 50 pound weight loss. So grateful!
I forget how you phrased it, but regarding the missing piece that prevents people from being diagnosed with a food addiction. As you stated the criteria, it occurred to me that the criteria is there for many people, it is just a long time coming. It takes a while to get diabetes. It takes longer to lose your foot or find yourself on dialysis. For most addictions, the time from start to being incapacitated is much shorter. However, my claim would be that for food addition it is there none the less, it just takes longer than the medical community expects it to happen and because of that it often gets all wrapped up with "old age" symptoms.
SO TRUE but you are missing on cancer, a typical symptom of carb addiction that people like to blame on anything else, or arthritis (from gluten/ dairy addiction) and cardio vascular conditions, or even Alzheimer (ie. diabetes types 3)
so good! my lil sis, Heather C. just joined your BLE program. I'm in long term 12 step recovery and love your stand on food/sugar addiction. I relate to your relapse story too.... the abstinence line is SO powerful. Thank YOU
This was helpful. Last week was an incredible stressful work week. On Thursday night I went grocery shopping and found myself picking up a bag of chips, putting it in the cart, and buying it (first time in years). But at no point did I feel I was in any conscious control. I was watching myself do it. I went home and ate chips for dinner and it wasn't satisfying and made me feel physically ill.
I had an absolutely fabulously weighed and measured breakfast and lunch! Then I met up with friends and they had ordered pizza, I can honestly say I did not want any, my friend grabbed a huge slice and slapped it one a plate for me and out of courtesy i ate the cheese and pepperoni... I do not know how to say no thank you yet because I am afraid to invite people into my journey. The reason behind that is because I don't want to be asked about how many pounds I've lost so far or if I'm still dieting... just a whole ton of reasons that I'd rather keep this plan between me and my confidant. Anyway, I really want this and I like it! I need to grow confidence to proclaim that I'm not eating that and just face the judgement that comes with it! Here's a question, why is there so much judgement when a large person like myself tries to diet? Why aren't people more encouraging and helpful? Why do people scoff?
Oh my god, what a mind-blowing experiment you've described! Thank you soooo much, all the research and scientifical background of BLE is what has changed my life actually. Go on with what you're doing ❤
Excellent Vlog TY Dr. Susan! I am blessed to be one of the people that has Grown To Love It and WANT IT. You've changed one more life! What a blessing to the earth you are. :)
I watched a Carolyn Myss video where she speaks about the different levels of consciousness. I've been dealing with being off program for quite a while, and I think part of it is how isolated I felt when I was full on the program I was the only person not eating dessert. My whole social life had nothing to do with food anymore but everybody else was still eating the way I used to eat. I am looking at the way I have fallen into some old patterns, through the eyes of addiction, and through the eyes of the society, the social circle that I'm in Are there relationships I need to let go off? In order to stay on BLE . There are so many layers to this food addiction thing
Well, that answered a lot of thoughts I have about intuitive eating. And believing that my mind is consciously making the decisions. Kind of gut punched me.
Hi there! We appreciate your feedback. If you prefer to watch the vlog interruption-free, you can always watch it on our website: www.brightlineeating.com/vlog 🥰
We do acknowledge that Bright Line Eating is not the right solution for everyone. While many find success, occasionally it's not the right fit. We're curious to know if you were implementing the program on your own, or if you were in the Boot Camp or Bright Lifers membership and sought the guidance and support of our coaches or our community. Either way, we hope you have found success and are healthy and happy! 🧡
@@Brightlineeating no, I did it on my own from the book. By day 7 the cravings were overwhelming. It was not enough food, and I followed it to the letter. And I don't have enough money to pay for a program. Why sell the book if it's just an enticement to pay more money for a program?
@@hedgiegal3340 It is one of those things that is different for everyone, especially depending on your susceptibility score. There are many people who have been able to live a Bright Life from just using the book; however, some people do need more support. After writing the book and discovering some folks needed more, Susan created the Bright Line Eating courses to help those that needed it. As a gentle reminder, we do offer at least 10 full scholarships every Boot Camp 2.0. If this is of interest to you, please be sure to apply. We empathize with financial hardships and understand not everyone can invest in the course at this time. There are also a number of 12-step programs for food addiction that can serve you at no cost. Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous (FA) uses the same sugar/flour/meals/quantities approach to food that you’re used to, and they have meetings online throughout the week. You can find them at FoodAddicts.org. The largest (and original) 12-step food program is Overeaters Anonymous. They’re at oa.org. 🧡🧡

6 years! Way to go!! 💓💓
Great Vlog. I had significant impairment and distress. Then I was given the gift of wanting and liking Bright Line Eating. I am so grateful.
Thanks for commenting! We're glad you're here 🧡🧡

That is so difficult, Sarah. I’ve been there.❤
The stairs analogy is spot on!!!

Yes, a true blessing!

Are there relationships I need to let go off? In order to stay on BLE .
There are so many layers to this food addiction thing
Many layers, for sure. And support within our community for reinforcing your identity. 🥰
So many layers for sure. I’m six years in the program and the journey continues! I am maintaining my fifty pound weight loss.
This vlog hit home and sugar is definitely the culprit.
🧡
sooo this was not about me, but it really could be me. Thanks for this! Another one that knocked it out of the park for me
So glad this resonated with you! 🥰
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Well, that answered a lot of thoughts I have about intuitive eating. And believing that my mind is consciously making the decisions. Kind of gut punched me.
🧡
The brain science of BLE is what initially intrigued me.
Thank you! Thank you for the vlogs and for food freedom🥰
🌟🌟🧡🧡🎁🎁
Thank you SPT. ❤

Great blog..........unrelated question.........what is the ring on your right index finger? I see many health professionals wearing these.
Susan wears and Oura ring. 🧡
Wow, how do we recover ?
Susan, wouldn’t diabetes, heart disease, and other food related physical illnesses qualify as impairment and distress? Maybe a reframe?
“To know and not do, do you really know?
Whether it’s going to the gym or BLE or anything else that would benefit your self, family or anyone(s).
I'm day 10 ble and so hungry is this normal and will it pass!?
Congratulations on Day 10! Reach out to support about hunger. ❤
Yes. Hunger is a feeling that comes and goes. No one starves between two planned meals🙏
@@amymckee2306 thanks for replying yes its subsided now its difficult to tell sometimes if it's an emotion or hunger, I'll get through today anyway
@@Divinemule I don't think I have support as live in Ireland
@@heidilewis9053 , are doing BLE boot camp?
Sadly, this very important Vlog had FOUR AD INTERRUPTIONS ON RUclips.!!!

,Thank you, I assumed that option was no longer available.
I tried your program and ended up in the worst binge cycles. Your program is way too restrictive.
