Why do you say that? Gousto have no idea that I am sharing their product on my YT channel. I have used Gousto for several years and it genuinely helped me with food planning and getting some balance. Every person who has a Gousto account can get some money off their next box if they introduce a friend so it's not exactly a paid promotion. Even if it was, I don't think paid promotions are necessarily bad if they are being endorsed by someone who genuinely believes in their value for their audience. I like Gousto because they have hearty meals (a lot of other recipe boxes I've tried have been a bit diet-y) and you can click a button to turn off the calorie information. This is a bonus for people recovering from disordered eating. I have been approached by BetterHelp and vitamin companies to sponsor my videos and I have declined because I don't think their practices are ethical. I am careful and thoughtful about the ethical ramifications of anything I endorse.
I love these videos. I found the RUclips algorithm target ad pop ups unethical. An ad for a chicken nugget value deal popped up because it's likely food related content link to this video? Dunno. However they creators on RUclips have no control over this, and very little control in general on this platform. So sad.
9:22 This one's a good one. Yesterday, I had a late meal because I was on a roll doing other tasks; the socially acceptable time slowly passed me by, and my parents called me while I was cooking. Yesterday I cooked too much, and I was low key too tired/peaceful (-positive story!) to eat it. I am kind of a tornado in the kitchen, but without resenting it, I nourish my soul. After deciding to put back leftovers, I'll (snack on it, while in a balance of) have a preset meal for today.
The money is the biggest issue for me, I don’t gain weight from takeout since I order healthier options or kid meals for pickup. I hate leftovers, it’s harder to cook new meals daily. This is why I can’t break this cycle 😩
Hey Sarah. The way I stopped ordering takeouts by myself was to draw a line under it and see how long I can go. My streak of not ordering takeout alone is now years long and I think there’s next to no chance I’ll break it anytime soon. I only order takeout now if I’m with another person, which is something that works for me but I might have to revise this rule soon too.
I've noticed eating a salad is like exercise for me. I never regret it afterwards, but getting the motivation and "want" to eat it is so immense that it often goes bad before i eat it. 😅/😢 I reduce barriers as much as i can (small individual bag, prepackaged, toppings) still it happens though. Havent discovered how to change that yet
I may not have used those words, but yes, I think that gentle intentions can help guide decisions that may otherwise be overanalysed (leading to mental fatigue) and some decisions ahead of time mean fewer decisions throughout the day, which saves mental energy. The important piece is to understand your own temperament well enough to recognise when this starts to feel like a lack of choice that triggers a rebellious response
paid promo was a bit unethical on this type of channel

To be honest, I like a review from someone I trust! And if there’s no cost to me, then why not?
@@TheBingeEatingTherapistnot a problem to share what genuinely works for you if you actually use it. Id love to see you cook a meal from there 😊

"order" your "takeout" from the grocery store. Think of the premade deli offerings as a restaurant and get it from there. It's often cheaper
If you feel guilty before you have even done it it's like you have already done it so you will just follow through with the binge
Agreed! You put it better than I did! ❤️

Interesting. I'm glad you've found a way that works for you 💙
it's like you're reaching directly into my brain!! it's so great to listen to someone who truly knows what this is like. thank you for all you do!
Point 2. Exactly! The pressure release when I hit the confirm order button just goes and then, I’m not sure I want it
This is super helpful, thank you! ❤
this was phenomenal great work as usual!

Helpful as always, Sarah. Thank you for this.

5:06 Do you consider making an intentional decision a form of progressive overload to become resilient to decision fatigue?
