Wow I finally found a valid explanation for my eating habits. When I start eating light I feel so overwhelmed by how sensitive I feel energy. I want to rush home and eat food to stop feeling everthing. Please continue to address this issue. I would like help coping with my sensitivity. I would also like to learn how to use it to help humanity🌳🌞🌼
I've known in my case it was protection for years. I used it to keep unwanted attention away and for consolation. With Covid, it's to eat the energies of fear of the collective. Now that I'm more aware of what I'm doing and why, I'll work on this. Thanks for the video, Lee.
Omg!!! All my life I have been obese and just a year back I knew for sure I am an empath. Exactly as you mentioned has happened to me a zillion times! Every time while eating it feels so great, 10 mins later it starts feeling super heavy and then a guilt trip.
Wow! I 100%agree! I had an ah ha moment watching this! I’ve been eating and craving so much sugar during this pandemic. That makes total sense, because at start of the lockdown here in Canada, the anxiousness and stress I was picking up on was palpable. I used to indulge in treats once and I while, but I never craved it to this extent! Side note, I was also reading that sugar lowers our vibration, another reason I want to ween myself off of it!
Last year I felt like I had the weight of the world on my shoulders. And fittingly I gained weight. I believe there is a correlation between the feeling of responsibility and weight gain. The first time I ever was heavier than I should have been, was at the age of eleven, when my parents started to include me in their marital and psychological problems. They wanted my understanding and maybe even solutions for their problems and that was to much weight for me to carry as child. It showed in my body. Years later when I was twenty, my parents got better and their marriage went better. I was still living in their house by then and I liked it. It was harmonious and felt secure. Around that time I became really slim. My parents took care of themselves and also provided me with food, pocket money, a car, etc...they carried their own weight and also part of mine. I believe I lost the weight because I felt so easy and relieved.
Story of my life! Especially the being “too much”. All this energy that I have was too much for me as well, until I started working with classes of kids. They LOVE my energy. And I’m so grateful that I’m like a power plant because I need all that energy to work with so many kids!
Just found you today via your interview with Lee Carroll. This is so true for me, as I a have been doing this for as long as I can remember and I’m grateful I can seem to pull myself out and balance when needed. I also notice when I want to disappear I will put on weight, because it truly makes you invisible to the sheeple. Thank you, would love to hear more💕💚
All true, I would add, that it's an escape from digesting emotions, the actual "problem"; and rather physical digestion of food. In stressful situations I tend to grab food, while my mind is overworking. It takes a conscious decision to change this habit. Love your videos Lee, thank you
OMG yes! I recently came to that conclusion as well- I wasn't physically hungry, like my stomach wasn't growling or anything, but I was hungry so I decided to warm up a couple of burritos- I sat down and started eating when I had an Ah-Ha moment. I realized that I was subconsciously eating to avoid releasing/purging trauma- because releasing trauma can be scary, especially when you've experienced so much of it over a long period- in my case, it was a series of deeply traumatic events spanning 10yrs on top of childhood trauma. And the food had a different taste once I had that awareness. In my case, overeating and/or eating when my body isn't hungry is linked to the fear of the unknown- like "who am I without all of that trauma- who can I be- what would my life look like- and can I handle that?" I've also gone through times when I was eating in excess because I thought it would make me less attractive- bypassing another trauma. And when we eat a lot of sugary foods, it's because we feel like we need more sweetness in our lives- like when my Dad committed suicide, all I ate was brownies, cupcakes, cookies, and things like that- I gained at least 60lbs that year. 😵💫
I'm so thankful for this video. I tried to tell people this is exactly why I "feel hungry" all of the time!! They roll their eyes. Then like he said - the heaviness and self hatred. I cry sometimes even as I eat. It can seem so hopeless. How can I be an effective and positive Empath if im fat and feeling heavy and shame filled.
Haha, just finished munching a whole bar of chocolate. But I feel like I need to be a bit heavier at the moment. I'm not a light worker, I'm a heavy worker. ;-)
This is a massive issue for me, and you absolutely nailed it when you mentioned that it’s a way to switch off sensitivity. Sometimes I really wish I could! But yes, it does manage to do this with the “coma” effect. As well as being too much for other people, I feel I am too much for myself.
Absolutely Spot On!!! I'm a recovering Sugaralcoholic. And that's how I began in grade school to tone Myself down. Up until March 1st of this year. Thank you for an honest assessment of Overeating.
YES to the being ‘too much’...I was often told this as a child and interestingly over the past month or so I’ve been very conscious of my diet for various reasons and low and behold I’m ‘too much’ again 😄
Yes! Food subdues! Not all food of course, but that comfort food for sure. I am breaking free from this self defeating cycle right now. I have gained excessive amounts of weight this past year by trying to hide my full expression. I have been totally aware I was doing it too, for way too long. But in these past few weeks I am getting stronger and am allowing my self to be who I am more without killing my vibe with food. Thank you for sharing. This showed up right on time!
I can relate so much to what you said about hiding your full expression. I don't know how I even got here, but I want to heal and let me be me. Thanks for your comment!
So true - I have had a food/eating problem most of my life ( without being overweight oddly enough ) I don't think I was too much for people as being very shy/introverted I didn't mix much. But this makes so much sense - the comfort and protection in a world that didn't seem to understand me. (I'm 74 !) I couldn't understand either, because I actually love exercise and real food, and am very interested in eating healthy food, it makes so much sense too. This explains a lot. I think I am able to trust myself more now, so here's for change. Thank you for this insight from an intuitive.
I needed to hear this. Lol...my friend just left and you just described her and the situation and she left, I felt energetically drained and just finished off my fried rice I could have ate for dinner tomorrow. This all makes so much more sense now. Gives me a whole new perspective. ❤️ Thank you!
This is very fascinating. I resonate with "too much" very much. There was a time where I had been off of sugar for about 8 weeks. By 6 weeks in, I had so much energy that some of the people around me struggled with its intensity.
Hi Lee. You hit the nail on the head. I’m a reiki practitioner and clairsentient so I seem to feel everything all the time. It can be beautiful but by the end of the day I’m overwhelmed. Even my reiki community doesn’t understand that I need sugar to “dull” myself. That is the exact word that I used with them last weekend, in fact. I was also always “too much” for people growing up. So how do we manage this? Sure - grounding - but, as we all know, nothing helps like sugar. Nothing else makes us feel calm and “normal”. Sleep helps and luckily I have the luxury to be able to nap some days, but this isn’t sustainable. Maybe I need to write the book: The Empath’s Diet. We help others so much and we need so much specialised help that dieticians, personal trainers, even therapists don’t always understand. The struggle is real 😅. How do you manage?
This is brilliant, thank you so much. Would be willing to talk more on this subject? Do you have any tips for stopping overeating? I've literally been in that exact scenario you described several times!
Control, comfort, safety, yes ... I'd add one that I know for me is important as a shaman/empath. Because I generally eat WELL, just a LOT. And I noticed this in my mid twenties ... I eat a TON to heighten the opportunity for my digestive cycle to carry toxic energy out of my body. As an empath who rarely shields, this has been a powerful component to my staying alive. But it is a focused process, and I don't feel weighed down for longer than ten minutes ... and I'm not a sugar guy. Including the water I drink (likely 8 pounds) ... I take in about 14 pounds of material a day .. as my body processes it the tensions and toxins from healing others and holding space flows out with it. Just another angle ...
Absolutely. Interestingly I also discovered I put food in my mouth to stop words coming out....... Understanding this dynamic within myself is teaching me to become a better communicator. I’m learning it’s really not about what you say, but it’s the way in which you say it that will count. Much love peeps X
Lately the sensitivity has been so poignant while hugely expanding - I wish I could just sleep but I read that escaping through sleep means depression and I have a happy grateful loving heart - so I'm having a bit of a struggle .. I love people and always smile. I understand if most don't smile back. They get to be them and I get to be me so no harm done. If anyone can offer a helpful word or 2 I'd truly appreciate it. I know I'm escaping in sleep too much lately. A first for me and I'm a senior.
Improving boundaries is a great way to help to stop over eating. I used to think that the “healing” thing to do was listen to others and put them first but it’s actually the other way around. When I set my own boundaries I set an example for others to do the same. It then releases the need to rescue people as I am showing them through action that they are capable to help themselves. Teach a man to fish.... 🎣
Light bulb moment, - puzzel pieces in place. Except for the self hatred. I do not feel that but I do eat to ground me, shut off my sensitivity and to slow down my energy when being "too much" for others. And your video made me realize why I have a hard time breaking this habit even though I'm not over eating as much as in younger years. Thanks for sharing.
I just listened to this video. I loved and appreciate the perspective and I love the comments below. But I also don't always feel bad when I've 'overeaten'. Sometimes I just feel good and I let it go at that.
As a sensitive I really get this. I just learned I'm now a type 2 diabetic and trying to control it through diet. My drug of choice was sugar. So now I'll have to learn to deal with others emotion. I'll need to learn some new grounding and shielding techniques to cope.
I have recently started automatic writing and last night was hearing that my recent addictions/sugar cravings were not over but I would come to understand them in time. Well, that was quick. I have sugar binges when my schedule changes and my senses are overwhelmed by the outside world (autistic, need routine and hypersensitive to auditory and visual "busyness"). I've had three days of being totally thrown out of my routine and am not in my own kitchen, but in a place stocked up with all the temptations I never normally buy. This explains my need to dull my senses and why I've always done this before. I've always been a sugar junkie, but unfortunately have now got to the age where I can no longer get away with it, which is probably just as well....
Wow, yes, I've felt like I'm TOO MUCH for just about everyone I've ever come in contact with. No one ever matches me. My mom said one of the first things she thought when she saw me for the first time was "intense." I've been a lifelong food addict. I have no memories of a time when I was not heavily and deeply into food. This is a very interesting interpretation as I've always heard it the other way around of just deadening myself to my feelings, but I never heard about deadening myself so others could handle me better. Oh my god. Probably also explains why I have such resistance to getting on a very healthy diet which I know is so good for my body (like a mostly raw fruit and veggies diet); I'm scared of how much energy it will bring with it.
Wow! I wasn't told that I was too much because I learned @ an early age to shut things down. But as I began awakening I was doing energy work that was really effective & I got intuitive Knowing about whoever was on my table, generally regarding emotions. My Mother Loved the Balancing of her energy but when I ask her why she had so much Grief within she told me I was getting too far "out there". Thankfully I was confident enough in my spiritual connection @ the time to not let her deter me. But years later she came into my healing sesstion as a spirit to address my childhood sexual abuse that she didn't recognize until then. That's when she told me e she had been abuse as well, by her father! That's why she never talked about him unless I ask & that's what she was hiding. What age really meant that day was that I had touched a nerve & it crossed a boundary that made her uncomfortable. She made it about me in order to protect her heart. I never over ate over my parents, but I did that & still do over things that scare me, things that I know I need to face. I thought it was just me! I didn't know it had anything to do with being empathic! That makes me feel so much better! Thanks Lee! 🙏😇
Brilliant! Thank you! If you’ve more understanding of this I would love to hear it. It was like you were talking to me directly. I knew I was avoiding feeling by overeating but this video adds a new and different dimension. Thank you so much Lee xox
Icecream is what i crave, helps me in comfort. I was just asking myself why am I only wanting icecream and nothing else tastes good or makes me feel better. Can you please expand on this more.
Thank you for this video, I know food is blocking me from light. I'm 49 and food has been a problem since I was a kid. I had a spiritual experience about three years ago so I am convinced I can be more than an eating machine. I think I'm afraid to be healthy.
Relatable. I know for me, I get roped into some negative conversations or energy draining situations or may get too stimulated, and I have recently been eating LOTS of protein bars and sweet tasting things but I avoid sugar and go for low calorie options. I stay thin, but I do notice my diet has gotten very heavy compared to a while ago. :?
OMG!!!! I just talked about this today with a coworker!!! That is about me eating so much lately! I didn’t know if I was putting on winter weight, or why I was eating so much! Including eating breads, in which I don’t normally do! And I feel the overweight and discomfort from eating unhealthy. Oh, it’s holding me down, Fo Sho! Hahaha!!!! And I’m super sensitive to all the energies happening the last couple months into now. So much going on, it makes me want to run, but to where!?
Vanessa Petrea that is exactly me right now! I thought it was either winter weight or the craving I’m having for homemade bread and cake (didn’t indulge in cake though). I don’t know think I’d consider myself an empath, but I’m definitely going through a spiritual awakening right now. I wonder if my body doesn’t know how to react to this new energy I’m experiencing? Very interesting.
I have a compassion for all life who have a hard time one way or other, feel drawn to them, with a feeling of making them better, it works if not always completely healed, but feeling a lot better. I used to use my hands, also so they can see I am working on them. I am happy to help, but sense it would even be better if they did it them self. I tell them we are all healers. But most f the time they don’t believe it, very frustrating. Now I do it secretly more. And it works. It’s quite funny really. It’s a strong Intention and wanting, and that works. Lucky I have no problem with comfort eating at all, but often have a grieving Feeling. But also have an inner sweetness, softness and peace as well, thank God. Lee I have just come across Your work, and find it beautiful. Thank you🙏🏼🌸🛀
My weight is fucking crazy. My enlightenment period was when I was the skinniest, most energetic. I was more sexual, more arrogant (arrogance is never good, wasnt good) lol wise somehow, over the top sad and extreamly psychic. Honestly, I couldve been a scary cult leader from messages. I was 19. I'm 26 (almost said 16 so there is a message in this for me lmfao) and I'm almost 200 lbs as a 5'6 person. 5 years ago, life hit. Karmatic crazy wild shit flew and slammed me down, showing me how false my foundation was and however changing life is to grow. Well...I was 130lb and slowly...my weight got heavier, literally 10lbs within a week- water or fat- it doesnt matter. I havent been able to get it down and now I live in a funeral home, not by choice. I'm in a portal, and there is no grounding. I've always been psychic. I have all of the gifts and usually I'm zonked. I get images, noises. Flashes, spirits, dreams, astral, precognition blah blah blah since birth. I always had body issues though. And my body always had it's own mind it seemed. At this moment in my life, I'm deffinitly more panicky out of it, very sensitive to peoples emotions, cautious of what I say, irritated by really everything. No space. I crave space away from everyone and this building. Until I get a place elsewhere, I have a feeling my energy will shift. I'm deffinitly in a karma loop right now paying my dues.
Food coma BHAHA know the feeling, most EMPATHS do this because of sugar possibly other foods.. ...this is happening to me so much lately, none of my friends understand me when all I'm trying to do is help them. 😡 Unfortunately I don't sugar coat my friends lives
Thank you, Lee. I witness overeating much in Britain. Not only young women are obese often, they also turn into shouters, over ruling the fear they feel, in daily survival mode. There's an enormous entitlement right now, to own the newest of the newest, in digital gadgets, kids silenced with gaming in the home. There's a large number of bitchy mothers bullying their kids and spouses, they don't know an alternative and copy others. It's painful to witness at times, there's much drink- and drug abuse as well. A steep learning curve in the sparring of my mind with my heart. I don't live among these shouters, for these neighborhoods are in a sorry state filthy and noisy. Domestic violence is rampant in those parts of the town. Change is welcome!
When I had an encounter with energy feeling people....vampires......that I do Instant feeding with oveteating. I löst energy through others and so I need to get back energy from food.
I've read that when you stuff your stomach full of food, blood reroutes itself away from the brain to the stomach in order to digest all the food. So that's where the stupor/numbness comes from.
i dont over eat i have a normal body not too skinny not too fat i know this because instead of buying two icecreams for five dollars i bought one icecream and gave the other 5 dollars to catholic church.
That was over too fast, lol. A whole video on this would be awesome ❤️❤️
I was thinking the same thing!! We need a full hour about that!! Beautiful
Agree!!
Great insight here.💜
Please make another extended video about this topic

Thank you for answering this question! This resonated with me. 💗🌟
Hi Lee 👋
Can you do a full episode on this? It's really hitting home and woukd love to know more xx
Appreciate you 🙏 💙

That "You are too much" was a new consept. And oh boy how many times have I heard it...Thank You
way too much. you've explained this well, thank you. yay to cheesecake!
Lately the sensitivity has been so poignant while hugely expanding - I wish I could just sleep but I read that escaping through sleep means depression and I have a happy grateful loving heart - so I'm having a bit of a struggle ..

And your video made me realize why I have a hard time breaking this habit even though I'm not over eating as much as in younger years. Thanks for sharing.
I can finally relate to something I've been searching for forever....🙏
Funny I’m a healer and empath and psychic and I go back and fourth wit the food stuff working on that part of me!
Oh yes! Every word you just said I can difinitly feel and relate to.
🙏💜 Thank you, for sharing this insightful video with us today.

I have no memories of a time when I was not heavily and deeply into food. This is a very interesting interpretation as I've always heard it the other way around of just deadening myself to my feelings, but I never heard about deadening myself so others could handle me better. Oh my god. Probably also explains why I have such resistance to getting on a very healthy diet which I know is so good for my body (like a mostly raw fruit and veggies diet); I'm scared of how much energy it will bring with it.
😳🤭 golly. My head is racing. Understood. Thank you
💖 What a beautiful video 💕 💖 Thank you 💙 Love 💜
Thank you ❤❤
Best explanation ever
Wow! I wasn't told that I was too much because I learned @ an early age to shut things down. But as I began awakening I was doing energy work that was really effective & I got intuitive Knowing about whoever was on my table, generally regarding emotions.
My Mother Loved the Balancing of her energy but when I ask her why she had so much Grief within she told me I was getting too far "out there". Thankfully I was confident enough in my spiritual connection @ the time to not let her deter me. But years later she came into my healing sesstion as a spirit to address my childhood sexual abuse that she didn't recognize until then. That's when she told me e she had been abuse as well, by her father! That's why she never talked about him unless I ask & that's what she was hiding.
What age really meant that day was that I had touched a nerve & it crossed a boundary that made her uncomfortable. She made it about me in order to protect her heart.
I never over ate over my parents, but I did that & still do over things that scare me, things that I know I need to face. I thought it was just me! I didn't know it had anything to do with being empathic! That makes me feel so much better!
Thanks Lee! 🙏😇
Totally relate/agree. Would also love to see a segment on how to stop or other - healthier! - ways to block out the energy
Brilliant! Thank you! If you’ve more understanding of this I would love to hear it. It was like you were talking to me directly. I knew I was avoiding feeling by overeating but this video adds a new and different dimension. Thank you so much Lee xox
OMG! I love this data and this video!!! Thank you for opening my eyes and mind!
Thank you
Lol all i did was read the title of the video and tears sprang up. Ugh i just want it to stop!
Fantastic intro/outro graphics!
😂🤣😂 sorry your impressions of food or sugar comas cracked me up. Thanks for the video it’s all so true.
was just talking to my friend about this the other day!! esp the ice cream! haha thank you lee💖💖
Icecream is what i crave, helps me in comfort. I was just asking myself why am I only wanting icecream and nothing else tastes good or makes me feel better. Can you please expand on this more.
Agreed with others, please do larger segment on this
awesome explanation lee, thank you!
yes I often get the feeling like I'm too much for people... I've been doing the same thing eating a lot at times to try to come down
Never thought of it that way🙀 thank you
I dont over eat..but my metabolism is blocked and getting fat.🤔 nosense. 💚💚💚ty lee
Thanks is there a connection between empathy and overthinking ?
Well that was a tease...
True is true.
SO good!
Yeah it is about self nurturing. Eating too much cause I am not allowing my self to do me somehow.
So true, eating to tune out of this world
Thank you for this video, I know food is blocking me from light. I'm 49 and food has been a problem since I was a kid. I had a spiritual experience about three years ago so I am convinced I can be more than an eating machine. I think I'm afraid to be healthy.
Aha! Makes lots of sense.
Check out Stephen Porges if you're interested in the scientific explanation of why this is. It's fascinating!!
Relatable. I know for me, I get roped into some negative conversations or energy draining situations or may get too stimulated, and I have recently been eating LOTS of protein bars and sweet tasting things but I avoid sugar and go for low calorie options. I stay thin, but I do notice my diet has gotten very heavy compared to a while ago. :?
It resonates a lot. Thank you.
Big love Emie!
OMG!!!! I just talked about this today with a coworker!!! That is about me eating so much lately! I didn’t know if I was putting on winter weight, or why I was eating so much! Including eating breads, in which I don’t normally do! And I feel the overweight and discomfort from eating unhealthy. Oh, it’s holding me down, Fo Sho! Hahaha!!!! And I’m super sensitive to all the energies happening the last couple months into now. So much going on, it makes me want to run, but to where!?
Vanessa Petrea that is exactly me right now! I thought it was either winter weight or the craving I’m having for homemade bread and cake (didn’t indulge in cake though). I don’t know think I’d consider myself an empath, but I’m definitely going through a spiritual awakening right now. I wonder if my body doesn’t know how to react to this new energy I’m experiencing? Very interesting.
So the solution would be protection from others' energy? But actually today I have a day like this and it is a response to full stress.
wow you are amazing!
I have a compassion for all life who have a hard time one way or other, feel drawn to them, with a feeling of making them better, it works if not always completely healed, but feeling a lot better. I used to use my hands, also so they can see I am working on them. I am happy to help, but sense it would even be better if they did it them self. I tell them we are all healers. But most f the time they don’t believe it, very frustrating. Now I do it secretly more. And it works. It’s quite funny really. It’s a strong Intention and wanting, and that works. Lucky I have no problem with comfort eating at all, but often have a grieving Feeling. But also have an inner sweetness, softness and peace as well, thank God. Lee I have just come across Your work, and find it beautiful. Thank you🙏🏼🌸🛀
Soooo true!
My weight is fucking crazy. My enlightenment period was when I was the skinniest, most energetic. I was more sexual, more arrogant (arrogance is never good, wasnt good) lol wise somehow, over the top sad and extreamly psychic. Honestly, I couldve been a scary cult leader from messages. I was 19. I'm 26 (almost said 16 so there is a message in this for me lmfao) and I'm almost 200 lbs as a 5'6 person. 5 years ago, life hit. Karmatic crazy wild shit flew and slammed me down, showing me how false my foundation was and however changing life is to grow. Well...I was 130lb and slowly...my weight got heavier, literally 10lbs within a week- water or fat- it doesnt matter. I havent been able to get it down and now I live in a funeral home, not by choice. I'm in a portal, and there is no grounding. I've always been psychic. I have all of the gifts and usually I'm zonked. I get images, noises. Flashes, spirits, dreams, astral, precognition blah blah blah since birth. I always had body issues though. And my body always had it's own mind it seemed. At this moment in my life, I'm deffinitly more panicky out of it, very sensitive to peoples emotions, cautious of what I say, irritated by really everything. No space. I crave space away from everyone and this building. Until I get a place elsewhere, I have a feeling my energy will shift. I'm deffinitly in a karma loop right now paying my dues.
wow i am an empath and have realized that some years ago...
Food coma BHAHA know the feeling, most EMPATHS do this because of sugar possibly other foods..
...this is happening to me so much lately, none of my friends understand me when all I'm trying to do is help them. 😡
Unfortunately I don't sugar coat my friends lives
Thank you, Lee. I witness overeating much in Britain. Not only young women are obese often, they also turn into shouters, over ruling the fear they feel, in daily survival mode. There's an enormous entitlement right now, to own the newest of the newest, in digital gadgets, kids silenced with gaming in the home. There's a large number of bitchy mothers bullying their kids and spouses, they don't know an alternative and copy others. It's painful to witness at times, there's much drink- and drug abuse as well. A steep learning curve in the sparring of my mind with my heart. I don't live among these shouters, for these neighborhoods are in a sorry state filthy and noisy. Domestic violence is rampant in those parts of the town. Change is welcome!
When I had an encounter with energy feeling people....vampires......that I do Instant feeding with oveteating. I löst energy through others and so I need to get back energy from food.
I've read that when you stuff your stomach full of food, blood reroutes itself away from the brain to the stomach in order to digest all the food. So that's where the stupor/numbness comes from.
Too much 🙌🏼
It's a numbing agent. It totally clouds The Connection.
So true. But I wanna stop
Wishing you finished that last sentence 😭
I was always considered tooo much
Lee, you had me at cheesecake.
NEVER OVER EAT AM SLIM
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I want doughnuts now.... And yes I am too much for people especially when I am around my best mate.
i dont over eat i have a normal body not too skinny not too fat i know this because instead of buying two icecreams for five dollars i bought one icecream and gave the other 5 dollars to catholic church.
I have heard I am too much.
How to stop?
I hate overeating I'm not what you would call fat but I am eating more than I need ...I don't like greed.
Why do I feel like you are talking about me!?
How can you end this video like this????? Where's part 2????? What am I not allowing ????
