In this video, I dive into the topic of stress eating and how it has evolved for me over time.
I discuss how oversimplified solutions like "just stop being stressed" or "don’t eat when stressed" don’t work. Instead, we need to find a balance-learning to manage stress while finding non-food-related coping mechanisms. I explore why food, especially comfort food, can feel like a solution during stressful times and how stress impacts appetite differently for everyone.
Through my own experience this week, I share how I ordered Domino’s and ate mindfully, listening to my body and hunger cues. Rather than numbing myself or using food as an escape, I was present during the experience, which helped me feel soothed. Stress eating, when approached with mindfulness, can serve a purpose without spiraling into unhealthy patterns.
Finally, I offer key strategies for reducing stress eating, including understanding the role of food restriction, meeting your basic needs, managing expectations, and practicing gratitude. I also discuss the importance of tuning into your body and being authentic with yourself to reduce the overall stress in your life.
This may sound strange but learning to deal with stress effectively will easily help you heal from food addiction. The paradoxical thing is that, you shouldn't be angry at yourself for not dealing with your own stress. So try not to take everything personally and be patient and forgiving towards yourself
Yes, yes, yes! So much good, practical wisdom here!!!! There are so many ways that food provides relief or pleasure that it's ridiculous and they STACK. There are also dynamics that go back to your earliest primal experiences with physical reality as an infant (not just what was mentioned here). To think you can fight it is not really knowing what you are up against. I was puzzled long before I started practicing mindfulness as to why I would literally have a deep sigh of relief in my body and feel like I had taken a pain reliever when I gorged certain foods. Now that I've studied it, it makes total sense and I've since started mindfully using food like I would a pain reliever (like aspirin) when I feel those absolutely crushing bouts of pressure. Doing this re-frames the eating as something positive. It stops the pain and stops the battle inside which means I don't feel the "have to" pressure in the same was as often, and it works! You need a relief from these crushing paradoxes. This then gives you the space to mindfully look at what is causing the urges, and that can lead to a drastically different life. Mindfulness is the best tool you can have. It is not the answer but it is a valuable tool to find the answer(s). Best! Lore
My wife has breast cancer and had a disastrous first chemo two weeks ago. I needed this video. I’ve been stress eating like crazy to cope 😢
🙏🏻❤️🩹
@@workstudy8118 All the best for both of you, and a complete recovery for your dear wife 🍀💝
Wow, that hits home so much! Thank you Sarah ❤ when I was a new mum with postpartum depression and doing what I was supposed to do, not responding to my feelings was a main motor to turn to food. I never realise that until you said it. Thank you ❤️ step by step I'm learning to be me again
Excellent video, thank you
😮 Listening to you explaining about the relief that comes after a struggle, when you finally eat the icecream, I just had a REAL LIGHTBULB MOMENT:
In my case, when I finally eat the chocolate and chips (icecream), I do feel only a very short relief from the struggle stress. Quickly, the new stress sets in caused by the fact that I just ate this food, which has been connotated so badly for long years.
And it is this type of stress that feeds the urge to binge even more!
a) I am stressed.
b) I struggle with the thought about my relief food.
c) I eat a piece of it.
d) Short relief.
e) More stress!
f) Eat more.
g) Binge Event.
Have been watching your videos for some time and found them very helpful but what finally got me out of my binge eating and stress eating and to lose significant weight was to start Mounjaro injections 3 weeks ago. I no longer have food cravings but the problem is what to do with my stress and anxiety now I can't manage them with food
Connecting to the food experience: It can also be a more un glamorous (not to be encouraging/modeling disordered) food choices (as I did not have that mindset tonight.) I have a little tray with sweetener, and I will occasionally take out some vegetables and dip them in. I call this "powder munching," sometimes I will go really overboard, but today not so much. I put a piece of cauliflower in the oven and dipped it in erythritol, nothing special but I was thoroughly fascinated in the adventure of learning how it would cook, spraying it with water and seeing it boil off, having the meat thermometer sticking out of the oven because it is late at night and I don't want the preheat to beep.
By the way, by the time I come write this from the other thing I work on, you mention getting enough sleep. What's worth saying, is I am feeling awesome about this tradeoff as I spend time putting my unresolved *ideas* to sleep! Last night I binged hard in this (physical/situational) position, but I really think that's the difference today.
11:34 How much am Stressing about what's outside of my soul? It's interesting I find my priorities go reverse on me in this way sometimes. I say I'm not off task, but on the old tasks.
I'm weak to chips. Then feel guilty.

I wonder why I struggle around eating sugary foods as a coping mechanism whenever I am dealing with my recovery from sexual abuse. I started eating excessively to suppress sexual desire in my younger years and it's still a problem.
I can so relate about eating to suppress my sexual desire, but not because of sexual abuse, but because of a frustrating marriage to a wonderful man that had become nearly sexless after some years. My desire was at maximum intensity, and it was either numbing this feeling with food or going out onto the street and jumping at the first man whatsoever that came along.
This, and numbing the stress of being a fulltime working mum of 2 toddlers. 25 years of BED Career since then. 😢
Thank you so much Sarah, for giving at a time of such stress for you
If you're renting you don't need to leave if you're not ready, even if you've given notice to the landlord you can retract it at anytime, only a court can end a tenancy if the tenant doesn't leave.
