Thank you Marcus.
I would like this video many, many times if I could. The discussion about bodybuilding is one I agree with, and in my experience getting everything else right can lead to more exclusion, isolation and sacrifices.
Sarah, you can't imagine how much I appreciated this episode ! My question to Marcus would be : what if you revolved all your life (except for the work part) around exercise/ fitness, and sacrified everything else to have time to train/ eat / rest , and now that your body is broken, you don't have a supporting network to rely on ?
And my question to you, Sarah, if I may ask (but you don't have to answer !!) : there are soooooo many yoga classes online, a lot focusing on the core, so why do you play with fire and keep doing, even just once a month, this particular one that triggers you a bottomless hunger ?
Thanks again for this discussion, will follow Marcus RN !
Good questions! My instinct to the question to me was that there is a familiarity in that workout I enjoy and also it seems like it does a lot in a short amount of time.
I find it eases my back niggles (and that is usually the prompt to do it; when a get a back niggle).
I also have zero judgement about the bottomless hunger and it kind of fascinates me. It’s like an experiment I keep repeating and never quite making a satisfactory conclusion. I’m actually wondering it the sensation in my core is getting crossed with hunger because of where it is located so I’m going to hold that curiously and see what I observe next time
So true a lid on the anxiety and an illusion of peace. The illusion of safety...
Oh Sarah, what an amazing episode/video here! Thank you both, Sarah and Marcus, so much wisdom and good practical suggestions listening to you both 🌞 again thanks so very and hopefully others will also find this video of immense help too! 🌞
Amazing chat and questions! Thank you!
Just this minute now subscribed to Marcus's RUclips channel and hope lots will too, you're doing such good-positive stuff Marcus!! 🌞 Thanks so very much Sarah!! 🌞
Really appreciate this video, i ended up putting a holt on bodybuilding and decided to focus on bettering overall mental health and fixing up my lifestyle a bit. Unintentionally kind of followed the advice in this podcast! Your videos are very helpful thank you for putting out all this information :)
I have found core being sore mimics the feeling of physical hunger. Likely you are equating the feeling of your core being sore with that which explains why it doesnt seem to go away no matter how much you eat.
I thought the SAME thing after this conversation. I think you’re right
Brilliant! Thanks for your work, Sarah and Markus! It was an especially interesting and useful episode! Most of the things are sooo relatable. In my opinion, there isn't enough information about the connection between sport and binge eating.
By the way, ravenous hunger after exercising, even after a little run,is exactly what I feel. It felt to me like I'm broken because no one talks about it. I feel better now.
Also,Sarah, have you read "Dopamine nation" by Anna Lembke?
So glad you found the conversation helpful! I HAVE read Dopamine Nation and reviewed it here with Stef: ruclips.net/video/AP27Q-gXBW0/видео.htmlsi=v8t0yLYmj_5Qa-h5
@@TheBingeEatingTherapist thanks,great! As soon as I read the whole book (I've read a bit more than a half but I'm loving it!) I will watch your review)
The idea that I have to “not want to lose weight” or look a certain way…just adds to the stress! But I like the idea of letting them just be there while focusing on other things as well.
You don’t have to at all! This is so individual and just about checking in with what intentions work for you. If it’s worse for you to put pressure on yourself that your motivations should be this or that, don’t do it! ❤️
Sarah, perhaps the core yoga work is stimulating the third chakra which is supposed to stimulate digestive fire therefore causing an increase in appetite?
You may be right. I think there is something about it being in my core where digestion also resides
What was the core vid? Sounds amazing!!
This one. I genuinely really like it: ruclips.net/video/BPobdbmzY9o/видео.htmlsi=Rkv2rO4d2dyBjd53
✌️
Is it wrong to have the intention of exercising to enable my body to fit into my clothes that im too big for because of disordered eating?
Not wrong! This is not a matter of right or wrong, it's more about if that intentions serves you, as in, does it help you to have a healthy relationship with exercise or does it make it more problematic? I think everyone gets to answer this for themselves as these challenges are so diverse
