Imagine all the mental energy and free time i would have not obsessing over food and weight every single second of my life since I was 8 ♥️💯🙏
This made me choke up I remember that too and judging my little thighs next to girls in my class…
It’s crazy to think about. We can get there!
@@AbbeysKitchen For me it’s the opposite I eat way too much and I must cut back! In the past I used food as an cooing mechanism! Now I’ve went from 5’6 at 252 pounds to 209! My goal weight is 180 and I’m good!
I’m 57 and still obsessing…since I was about 11. I’ve wasted SO much of my brain power and life.
Facts
This is what I’ve been dealing with lately. I never knew I was prone to binging and I was constantly thinking about food. I’m so glad I’m out of that cycle ❤ I feel so much better.
so so happy for you!
I LOVE CAROLINE
ahhh my two youtube worlds colliding!!!
yayyy
LOL!! Mine too.
Same 😊
My people!!
Caroline is great. So honest and authentic. I appreciate your input. ☺️
Authenticity is needed on this platform so I agree
@@AbbeysKitchen Agreed! Liked this video before I watched it, because y’all are both gems!
The only way I found was to eat what I craved, when I was hungry EVERYTIME. Yes I gained weight at first, but then my weight stabilized and now after 30 years of ED, I no longer obsess about what I eat.
honouring your cravings is a crucial step of early recovery
Thank you for the content! I really appreciate not demonizing people that do have body goals, as long as they are realistic and healthy. I compete in MMA/Boxing which has limited weight classes. I don’t like to make weight in an unhealthy way with crash dieting and extreme dehydration 12 hours before weigh in, so I am working on healing from ED while still pursuing the sport that I love with a long term, balanced approach to nutrition. Thinking of my meals in terms of Hunger Crushing Combos is very helpful!
What’s annoying is having ice cream at night and then feeling immediately guilty about it afterwards. I had Ben & Jerry’s last night and finally thought I don’t give a crap. I don’t do this daily but I want some tonight.
Boy I feel this
you have nothing to feel guilty of xx
Thanks for this! Such good timing for this video. I’m going into residential treatment for my ED in the next couple weeks and obsessing over food has been such a challenge for me. I’ve been having so much anxiety over having to eat more without purging, but I want so badly to get to a place of not obsessing over food and actually giving my body the energy it needs so I can get stronger. Thanks for everything you do 🩷
I loooove Caroline’s channel. So glad you reviewed it Abbey! ❤
Love an Abbey x Caroline crossover.
I follow Caroline and absolutely adore her. And I follow you, Abbey, and I not only like, but need you because I am a dietitian myself and have been out of work (intentionally). I keep up with the latest trends and science and you are a wonderful resource. Thank you!
I LOVE everything about Caroline Winkler. She is smart. She is funny. Love her.
Ahhhhh I’m a HUGE fan of Caroline and your videos and this specific video of hers have helped me a TON!
Big, big Caroline and Abbey Fan! Love this!
I love Caroline. So glad you were able to share her story. She is an amazing person and creator!
My therapist just worked with me on things to do to take my mind off obsessions or for when I’m anxious. She called it the “Oh sh*t kit,” lmao and I love it!
Sounds amazingly interesting share more if you feel comfortable too😍🥰
@@saskiadeciu Sure, we based it off a handout called “Distress Tolerance Handout 8” not sure if that will be searchable, but it basically outlines examples of things you can do to self soothe in all different senses. Not all of mine were from the list, but it’s a good start. I have essential oils in my kit that I use for smell, a Spotify Playlist for sound, a stress ball and ice pack (heat or cold are great for snapping out of anxiety attacks) for touch, and a couple pieces of chocolate for if I want to indulge instead. Hope that helps!
Hi Abbey, just to say it once (though I am usually more of a silent observer :D): It is SO important what you do, educating people on healthy eating behaviours with scientific evidence, opening conversations on how to manage anxiety and EDs, and sharing your journey. I am sure there are many “silent observers” like me, who’ve been watching your content and learned/ grown from it. great work from you and your team <3
That was really good and helpful! I lost 50 pounds two years ago on basically a starvation diet. I didn’t realize it then, but now I do. My hair fell out, my nails no longer grew, but I was thin…. I’m 64, so it’s harder anyway, but after listening to you Abbey and a couple more people like you, I have now gained 20 pounds. Lol. Not really funny, but I’m learning and I’m eating more and my hair is good again and my nails are finally growing long and strong Ike they used to be. Now my goal is to build some muscle strength without going crazy about it and learn to eat more intuitively and hopefully it will all work out and I’ll at least be strong and fit. 🙂
