Oh I have been there many times.

You are not alone.

You’re right…everyone has the same reaction…I feel like nobody is going to truly understand me..unfortunately for me, I’m stuck in these type of eating habits

this is literally me right now 😔 ur not alone

You are not the only one. I feel you 100%.

Wow. Never really thought of it like that.

People eat too much.

Nunya Bidness forbid unhealthy food. Nearly impossible, but why not?

so true: here is all the issue! u said everything in a few sentences!

sugar sugar sugar, they addict us every chance they get!

That's great insight! Although the details may still be up for a discussion, I think it's very obvious what the impact our current food climate is having on us.

Amen

Food addiction is as real as drug addiction

Yep. Any time I start a diet, all I can think about is food and what I can eat.

Exactly! And, you should know doctors only get about 2 hours of nutrition/food training in medical school! They are clueless and many times more uninformed about this subject than those of us that do our research bc (for many of them, not all) their egos and hubris don’t allow them to admit they “may not know it all.” That acts as an obstacle to their leaning…the humility gene is missing in most physicians and sadly, it limits them.

That's great to hear!

YES!! This can be done. I truly believe it..

C the body adapts to whatever you do to it. That with changing beliefs about you body and food together can change it. Taking baby steps everyday to feel better about food and your body and habits can help get you to where you want to go. Sending positive vibes to you. ✌🏽

@C you have to try, no matter how hard it is because discomfort is ur friend

Oh and I am trying...

Thank you for sharing! It can be difficult to control. I have found it helps to try and create as many other outlets as I can for myself to keep my mind busy.

Same here my friend. Let's keep going

I feel u stay strong!

Try taking garcinia cambogia. It’s a supplement that will reduce your appetite. It helps a TON. Maybe it can help you lose some pounds while you figure out what the root cause of your overeating is. Good luck to you 🙂

Same. You’re gonna keep re-gaining the weight unless you figure out how to cope with your cravings. That was my problem for a longgg time.

Im going through the same thing omg! I felt so terrable because it honestly feels so alone. I dont tell anyone about it becasue idk it feels "shameful" to me (whihc it shouldnt)

The same thing happened to me but with 70 pounds. Someone once said that failure is the opportunity to do something again but better. I hope to not only lose back the weight but also change my mentality towards food.

Sometimes we eat like this because we’re not doing what our true purpose is and we’re looking for a way to comfort ourselves. Your body adapts to whatever you do. You eat healthy and your body adapts and gets good at it. You eat unhealthy food and your body adapts and gets good at it. Taking baby steps everyday to feeling better and eating what feels right for us is a great way to feel better about our food and our bodies. I’m sending lots of positive vibes and happy, joyful thoughts to you. ❤️✌🏽

Jasmine - read Bright Line Eating and good luck. You're not alone!

eat less carbs and sugar, then you will stop feeling hungry all the time. it worked for me and my friends

Organic foods are expensive but organic has nothing to do with weight gain or weight loss. Weight loss is about lowering caloric intake. Turns out I spend far less money on food when I’m eating healthy. It causes me to get way less takeout (basically none), I buy ingredients and cook my own meals and eat much less overall. Fruits and vegetables are very cheap, and lean meats are reasonable. When most people really look at it, they find out that they spend less when in healthy stretches of time than when they’re bingeing on junk. Don’t worry about the organic craze, it’s not important, focus on low calories foods, and these can be cheap

I believe economically and politically society viewed obesity in a different light as time went by. You know how trends work right? It’s the same thing. Politicians and scientists have all the power of how individuals see themselves and other people. It’s how we socialize. So I just think we have been evolved and socialized to see overweight people in a negative way because of changes in public health research, propaganda, media, etc.

The economic efficiency of fast food and industrial agriculture doesn't just contribute to the problem, it's the cause. If fast food were sufficiently expensive, obesity rates would decline

I wonder if the industrial revolution has something to do with it. People ate more as they worked in jobs that required physical labour.

The "organic" food business is also a racket. Research what laws & rules make something "organic". You'll be shocked

You can do it! I hope things are going well for you!

Went from cigs and alcohol to now food, all about the hole in the soul

good luck!

True. That’s why bullying obese people needs to stop. People don’t think about what we go through. They think it’s about us not controlling how we eat when really it’s been the industry making sure we don’t get control all along. Food addiction is a very interesting topic to research. A lot of people don’t know how hard changing your relationship with food is.

I'm in the same boat, i quit nicotine and weed (well kind off) and turned to food for dopamine release. Im trying to get rid of this new addiction too. I think about it litterally all day, even when i'm full and even when it comes to healthy food. Right now i can't stop thinking about the steak and brussel sprouts i'll have later, i'm not even freaking hungry...

thankyou for sharing ! My relationship with food is still tremulous but reading yours has given me hope to better it :)

Vao amazing words. I wouldn't say I'm very addicted but yes once I feel like and I don't get it then I'm really agitated

Thank you very much for your words.

Thanks for taking the time to write this. I found it helpful and inspiring.

How do I copy this?

i think this aswell

Thanks for the share man

very cool.

@@lynnecousins all good Lynne

Thank you for sharing! I too have been trying to make these types of changes. Any thoughts on some of the new types of plant based meats? I just recently tried impossible meat and thought it was fantastic!

@@IAmTheRealJoker thanks

Thanks Brittanie! It is really important for us to understand why the struggle to eat healthy can be so difficult. I think it will help shape our solution!

Especially athletes. If they don’t work out, man do they blow up.

I had to eliminate all my trigger foods and go through physical withdrawal. Even now at 2 years sober I still fight cravings sometimes. I'm afraid it may be this way for the rest of my life.

Not only that, you have to eat to survive, you cant go around it, it's a permanent struggle

I agree, it is a brilliant way of communicating important messages.

great talk

@@alanwbell sure is

well, I think the other one might be much more...

@@Notthefootykevinrooney I agree with you! Right now, the focus should be the current pandemic. Stop the spread, and use it as an example to make improvements to our healthcare system and our responses to future pandemics (this won't be the last one). When we get past this, we can then put our focus back on issues such as this. :)

and now we have a pandemic...

@@andrewbecker5474 maybe we can do both, locked away at home means no take away meals and one can focus on better diet.

@@charlesaddington yes you are very right! I personally have been using this time to try new meals and cook new things! :)

Just eat healthy (Problem Solved)

@@iche9373 no just eat less no need to eat healthy at all lol

We begin with ourselves and the more changes on the individual level, the more changes we will eventually see on the collective one.

Ourselves

I think this is step 1. People didn't know they needed to fight the battle against smoking until they knew how destructive it was, and now we have come a long way. This is of course a different issue because it is food, but once we all understand the power some of these foods have on our emotions and motivations, more solutions will come to the front! Thank you for sharing :)

"a more society" is something else that is a big problem with big consequences :/. We need to shape our society so people have more time to just live and relax a bit more. It's nuts!

Absolutely! What you say is 100% true!

yeah me too

@@dino1416 Opposite for me:(

How are you doing?

The numbness is one of the reasons us overeaters overeat. We are supposed to feel sadness, anger, happiness etc but we choose to block those emotions because we can't handle those emotions. Search "The Doctors Opinion Harlan G" here on UKposts. Also look up Overeaters Anonymous on Google. It will help you.

Thank you for putting it into words. I never binge eat to reward myself or cope with a stressor, but like you said, to numb it. I've addicted myself into using food to numb anything I don't want. I never ACTUALLY realized it until now.

Thank you for the kind words Sandy! :) There are many addictions out there. I think many people don't even realize some of the addictions that they are currently dealing with, even beyond food addiction.

I have many.

and I have a few.

Addiction to life maybe?

Hi Robyn. Addiction is painful whether it be food or drugs. This paper won't heal your food addiction but it will help you to better deal with it. The advice given will help you reach and maintain your goal. Give this a try and see how you feel. It helps me live anxiety free around the issues of my many addictions. Peace. I wrote this paper for goal achievement. A way of training your brain. Be forewarned, I'm a psychic who works with spirit doctors. This information comes directly from them. [When it comes to a healthy diet and weight loss, you must first own it.] TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS YOU MUST FIRST OWN IT! What does it mean to own success? In my mind owning success is when you've internalized faith in a definition of success and by doing so, manufactured the internal belief necessary for it's mental spiritual and physical manifestation. Internalizing goals can be long and complicated, until now. I'd like to share an exercise that will instantaneously internalize your chosen goals and new beliefs. It's great to have goals but they really mean very little until we put action behind them. The greatest intent to do something does not in itself put any food in the stomach of a starving child. If we want to make a difference we must put action behind our words. But it seems so hard to fight for the things we really want. Why is that? My spirit doctors say the answer to that question is found in the question itself. It's hard to fight for what we want because fighting for it is the problem in the first place. We should never fight for our goals. The goals we find ourselves fighting for are found outside of our physical selves, out in our surrounding aura. The fact we must fight for them shows we've not yet internalized them fully. Think about it. Think of a goal you want but have not yet achieved. Notice how it feels to exist outside of your physical self? Now compare it to a goal you had in the past that you already achieved. Notice how that goal feels like it exists inside of you. We must internalize our goals to effortlessly achieve them. How to internalize your goals and new beliefs is the subject of this weeks spirit teaching. There are many ways to internalize goals but this one is totally original and highly effective. By following the recipe you'll experience results right now. Spirit taught me the importance of juicing everyday. I'm not talking my vegetables, I'm talking visuals. Play along. Follow the spirit given recipe and decide for yourself. Once a goal is internalized the friction for achieving it will be gone meaning you won't have to fight for it's manifestation. Your decision to have it will be enough. STEP #1] Take out a piece of paper and write down a goal. Describe your goal in as much detail as possible. This piece of paper becomes your goal blueprint. STEP #2] Now read your blueprint and visualize the goal. See yourself as having already obtained that which you want the most. [Mental visuals are the language of the subconscious.] STEP #3] Imagine a juicing machine in front of you. Take your goal blueprint with both words and visuals, roll it up and imagine yourself pushing the goal blueprint through the juicer. Make the zzzzzzzzzzzzz sound as you juice your blueprint with all the mental visuals you just created. Now in your imagination your left with a full glass of goal juice. Use your coffee cup or a glass of water if trying this at home. The liquid in your cup is your goal blueprint in a spiritually potent liquefied state. STEP #4] Now hold your imagined glass of juice [or a physical glass of water] with both hands, raise the glass above your head giving sincere thanks for it's certain fulfillment. See bolts of lightning energizing the glass. Lower it to your mouth and drink down the liquid version of your goal blueprint. Tilt your head back as you swallow the liquid goal all the way down to the base of your spine. Don't just take a little sip, drink the full glass all at once. Gulp it. Physically swallow your chosen goal. Go through all the motions in your mind if your just using your imagination. Notice how your goal blueprint no longer feels outside of your physical body? You have just internalized that which is most important to you. Your now relaxed state around even the thought of this goal helps to naturally manifest it's physical reality. Because it's internalized your decision to have it will be enough. Keep in mind that juicing visuals is like taking spiritual medicine. You need to keep taking your medicine every day until your self chosen goal is well on it's way to being achieved. I juice the same thing up to five times a day, until I get it. Once practiced a juicing session takes only seconds. Juice whatever you need. A relaxed self before your speaking event, your vision of true self healing, the Bentley or Mercedes you saw last week. Build and juice the true definition of your higher self. You'll instantaneously become one with what you juice. Here's a way to sample this, just for fun juice your significant other. It feels weird but cool. Repetition is required. What you juice will slip away if not reinforced. Build your new reality by drinking ever better crystal clear visuals. Spirit has taught the physical structure for belief and visualization is one part of that four part recipe. The more you practice visualizing the stronger visuals become. The stronger the visuals the more potent the juice. Your belief manifest reality. This is real magic! When we internalize our goals we eliminate natural friction and no longer struggle to attain them. When we juice a needed healing or physical goal we will immediately become spiritually attuned / attracted to it. We won't have to fight for it, or with it. Our goals will become alive with just a simple decision to own them. We can have A*N*Y*T*H*I*N*G once we know how to get it. Anything! If you want it, juice it! Follow the simple recipe and self manufacture a new choice personal reality. P*E*A*C*E

Hi, any updates?

@@ZIRAEL517 hey! So a friend of mine is a dietitian and she has been helping me immensely. Educating me on how my meals should look throughout the day and giving me common sense methods of how to avoid insane cravings. Don’t get me wrong, I have binged once or twice, but not nearly how I used to. I assume a therapist would be great help too, but I just haven’t really gone that route. Finally, I’ve upped my physical activity immensely. The best exercise is the kind you actually want to do and for me that’s lifting weights but for everyone is different I guess. Anyways, I’m down about 10 pounds, nothing crazy, but happy with the results and overall doing better

Any updates bro ? I'm looking for an accountability partner and I have a crazy trick which may help both of us if you want to quit

Thanks Garion! I appreciate the kind words. We have to get the knowledge out there!!

I so agree with you! You can't have just one - because when you do, you get the taste and it's so so hard to stay healthy when you've got a taste for the bad stuff.

So how do you keep yourself in check? No carbs at all is impossible.

@@MariekeNoortje8104 right? food is different than alcohol. completely cutting yourself off from something like junk food for good isnt sustainable in the long term. it really is okay , if not important, for you to learn how to indulge in some of your favorite foods without going overboard.

while I do understand her point, I think eliminating certain trigger foods rather than cutting yourself off from junk food entirely is a lot more effective if the goal is recovery .

I agree, especially because eating junk food, even occasionally, numbs your palate (increases your tolerance to good flavors). you're always craving that "treat" and can't appreciate things like fruit as much. Now that I've cut out processed foods, my idea of a treat is a slice of mango. candy tastes way too sweet.

As cliche as it sounds, it could be your body’s way of telling you to drink more water. Thirst is confused with hunger. Also, your insulin could be at risk if you’re eating too much starch, carbs and sugar. Lots of people are developing pre-diabetes becuz of this.

Try distracting yourself with hobbies and over time it’ll get easier to eat less

I love this comment! I think one big thing missing from my talk is the importance/benefit of support. Just like most, if not all, areas of addiction, support from others goes a long way! Reaching out to others that struggle can have big benefits, and it's something we can all do on the individual level. Enriching our environments and the environments of others can help a lot. Thank you for the great input! :)

@@andrewbecker5474 thank you Andrew

There’s food bank weekly for healthy free foods

he also mentioned why it's becoming a vicious cycle for us, for people to binge eat in general, like he mentioned that whenever we abuse the amount of food that we eat the dopamine receptor in our mind decreases. We become desperate because when we eat the same amount of food but we don't feel pleasure from it, we jump to over indulging coz we are so fixated on having these sensation of pleasure once again. when we do it that's why we overdo it cause we have this notion that when we did not attain our goal with our current method, we incorporate more of that/abuse it so it will allow us to achieve our goals again. Dopamine receptor decreases and creates overindulge and weight gain weight and its it's so accurate

It's crazy irony Oguz!

People don't know what they want, if they did they wouldn't eat what they eat.

@@andrewbecker5474 It is thanks Andrew, do you think this crisis is going to change how people see food now more than ever?

@@oguzkaanuremis Do you mean the caronavirus pandemic? My opinion (and I am not an expert here) is that this type of situation will probably cause more people to lose focus on many issues such as food addiction (and I understand why). All of our focus should now switch to educating people on what we know about the virus, how we can stop its spread, and prevent as many people as possible from getting hurt (both in the context of health and financial stability). BUT, when we get through this (and I believe we eventually will), we can then focus on educating others on long term issues like food addiction and our food climate. Once all of the data is in, it will be very interesting to see how the virus affected people that are obese and diabetic (both high risk groups) compared to others, and the potential effects it had on case severity and death. This could make great cases for striving to have a healthier food climate. SARS-COV-2 won't be the last viral pandemic this world faces, so it may make a good argument to strive for a population that is as low risk as possible!

Going through the same thing

You can do it! Especially since you exercised regular in the past, and play soccer. Think of yourself as your future self and act as though you are that ideal version of yourself already. That person would not be ordering fatty takeout, but enjoys making healthy , tasty meals at home ❤

Hello, this piques my interest that you feel sick after eating foods as your body can't tolerate it any more. I have this symptom too, been eating whole foods n cook my own foods for >2 years. I ate potato crisps and some doritos a week ago, although not extreme in that 1 day (

A bank teller, a single, chubby mom, told me that it was not only easier, but cheaper to buy fast food than to cook from scratch. That was around '96. I moved, never saw her again, but have never forgotten her. Hope she is okay

I agree, but I also think that's where reallocating your money is important. People spend a lot of money on things they don't really need to live on a day-to-day basis. But then again, like you said - having the time and energy to prepare these foods is another issue. Such a vicious cycle!
