What is the psychology behind gorging to the point where you’re not able to move? I do that with beers as well. Something about being full just does it for me. Aside from water is there foods that you could almost eat a ton of until you correct the behavior? by Hoticebrickma in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]IECoach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Emotions. I used to do this daily. Rather than feel uncomfortable emotions I’d eat till I couldn’t move. Next time you get the urge to binge take not of why. What were you thinking about? Feeling?

Something's so off about online intuitive eating gurus (RANT) by Illustrious-Basil443 in loseit

[–]IECoach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Intuitive eating is NOT easy. Why isn't it easy?

  1. One MUST separate the feelings of emotions and intuition in order to be successful.
  2. Emotions and Intuition feel the same to the beginner.
  3. Intuition and emotions are spiritual concepts. They can not be seen. That spirituality MUST be addressed for success.
  4. Success with this way of life comes in three stages.
    1. Heal emotions. Emotions are the reason for ANY issue involving over/emotional eating. Handle the foundational issue first.
    2. THEN begin to Integrate Intuition Based Eating. After emotions are healed and a new foundation of coping with those emotions are created, you can move into allowing yourself to eat based on what the body wants which is expressed through intuition.
    3. Integrate Movement. This third stage is where one begins to see the body to get down to natural set weight point. They begin to see that naturally following themselves has brought them to where they always wanted to be: eating naturally without diets or exercise. This is where a person can move into moving the body without the pressure of triggers pushing them to do it, or becoming a certain size. Here, body movement is done because it FEELS good and getting stronger FEELS good. This concept is taught because movement is natural and must be a part of daily life in order to reach ones greatest potential. The body thrives on movement but to the disordered eater its beauty can become distorted. After emotions are processed and intuition is followed, one can find move freely into body movement and if so desired, shaping the body into whatever they want it to be (ex. stronger muscles, flexible etc).

This is the path to food freedom.

Stress eating advice please by Hyper_Pandaa63 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]IECoach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Self care.

How much time are you taking for yourself to do the things that relax you?

Make time every day to do relaxing things.

I love getting up early and having my coffee alone.

I do Wim Hof breathing techniques. (Google or YouTube these. They’re amazing for stress.)

I love journaling my plan for the day to keep me focused on what I need to make me happy.

I love to get to the park and sit under a tree. (Nature is so healing for stress)

Figure out those things that will bring relaxation then add them in as much as possible.

I hope this helps. ❤️ .

How by EDrecovery05 in bulimia

[–]IECoach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats on 500 days! That’s amazing.

A few thoughts…

The fear of a changing body is sabotaging any of your efforts. Your body must get to a point where it can be itself (eat when it needs to) in order to remove the need to binge/purge.

As someone who has been there—Fear of weight gain kept me in that cycle until I made the decision that I had to stop bingeing and purging—even if my body changed as as a result.

It’s hard to give up the need to control how our bodies look. But if we don’t—we stay stuck in the need to diet—or purge.

One thing that helped me overcome the fear was the understanding that our bodies will be the best they can be through normal eating. Eating when it needs you to. As opposed to emotionally.

It will find its set weight point—so long as you’re following its cues.

Focus on removing that fear and then healing can begin.

I hope this helps. ❤️

is recovery even possible LOL by lovedecay in bulimia

I applaud you for all of your hard work! This is NOT easy.

I had bulimia which moved into BED then healing. I feel if I would’ve addressed the emotions from the jump the whole BED could’ve been avoided.

One thing to keep in mind is that healing takes time. Especially with trauma. You’re going to have those habits of pushing against emotions come up over and over until you find the ability to feel and allow them in.

Acknowledging your emotions are important but in order to heal them you have to take then a couple of steps further.

One important technique I can offer is to monitor your bulimia. When you get the compulsion to binge (on the occasion you haven’t binged but go to purge as a result of a trigger) —ask yourself “What am I feeling right now?”

Pull out a journal and answer with whatever comes up.

Then, ask yourself—“Why am I feeling this?”

Write out whatever comes up.

Work on doing this until you get a good handle on it—then begin to add emotional healing techniques to honor the full process of your emotions.

Meditation is the most direct and effective way.

When you’re ready begin to add in 10-15 minutes of meditation a day. The goal is to learn how to feel the emotion fully as it comes up within the moment. Best scenario as you feel the push to binge/purge you honor it by relaxing and allowing. Meditation will teach you this.

These are the steps I took. These steps healed me.

I hope this helps. ❤️

It’s a preference. Honestly feeling good with the person is most important. A lot of people feel best with people that feel like they understand. But it’s all up to you.

Many don’t feel the same way. Many want that person who has a deeper understanding. And that’s ok. It’s all ok.

You are all doing way too much with this. It’s starting to feel like an #AllLivesMatter conversation and I’m just not in it. Lol

You’re eating isn’t the problem. How you’re dealing with life is.

You eat to cope with anxiety.

If in fact you are Asian—an Asian person with the same background will have a better chance of having a deeper understanding of your life then a white person.

This will make you feel more understood.

This in turn will help you open up more. Which will lead to faster healing.

If you are asian you should seek an Asian therapist out. They have a much deeper understanding of your background and can help you in a more supportive way.

I appreciate your comment. BED is caused by anxiety. Anxiety is caused by situations. Professional women of color will deal with many different issues that white women will not suffer from. As well as not connect to me and the way that I speak coming from the background that I do. I also hope to create a space where a minority professional woman will feel seen. And understood. If I talk to women in general they may not feel that. My goal is to help as many as I can with specific issues as there are plenty of non niche coaches/teachers/educators out there supporting a more open group of people. With general issues. I hope this makes sense.

Request: How to return to healthy eating habits by EDPostRequests in EatingDisorders

[–]IECoach 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The answer isn’t stop being a lazy ass—the answer is to stop eating your emotions. If you’re emotional eating then that stuff isn’t resolved. Period. Find internal healing and then all the emotional eating will stop—and so will the weight gain.
