yes- video on perfection
Totally yes on perfectionism!
thank you for everything you do. you have been the best for my ed recovery.
I’m so glad🥰🥰
I’ve been working on mine for awhile and your videos have helped me too
I used to eat whole snack packs of fun size Snickers in one sitting when I was little
@abbeysharp Thank you for adressing the other side of the spectrum: of overeating obesity and food addiction! A lot of people have that as opposed to anorexia bulimia orthorexia, etc
Glad it was helpful!
Given the impact of parents on a person’s relationship with food later on I would be very interested to hear your take on “the French way” because on the one hand it seems very focused on teaching kids to just love food and respect food in a healthy way (“Bringing Up Bébé”; “French Children Eat Everything”), but on the other hand (as in the book “French Women Don’t Get Fat”) it seems pretty aesthetically focused at times
thanks for this idea I can take a look
I’m personally not trying to lose weight, but I keep turning into a hungry werewolf at night, so I’m watching this to find help. I just wanna sleep but I get so hungry 😂
Me too!!!

I’m not a dietician, but I experienced exactly the same thing. It stopped when I started eating more early on in the day I.e. breakfast and lunchtime. If you really need food I find a bowl of oatmeal with banana helps me 🙂. Hope it improves for you xx
Thank you for being so transparent with your sponsorships! It’s hard to trust influencers these days however i never have that feeling with you.
this means a lot, transparency is so important
Hearing “everyone overeats on occasion, even the most seasoned intuitive eater” made m day. I give myself such a hard time whenever I overeat because it means I’ve “failed” at intuituve eating.
it’s so hard but we have to be compassionate with ourselves. No one is perfect!
As someone with adhd anxiety and depression this is something I’ve noticed I struggle with and recently it’s gotten so bad I had to call out of work because I felt like I couldn’t move with how bloated I was, thank you, I needed this
Same with all 3!! I find that when I don’t take my meds for ADHD, I tend to binge, even if my stomach hurts. This vid really helped me not feel bad about it🤧
This is interesting. I can actually remember the first time I over ate. It was with KFC. I guess I’d consider it a binge. I was probably 10 years old. It definitely wasn’t my last time I don’t think I have an eating disorder per say but I do have to self regulate. So maybe I do
I’ve had a difficult relationship with food with various EDs throughout my life, always trying to hate my body into one I could love.
Luckily in the last few years I’ve done a lot of work and have been able to find my way to a place of body acceptance, which didn’t immediately lead to a good relationship with food.
In the beginning planning my meals and snacks in the morning helped, and after a while of doing that I began to be able to intuit what I needed or wanted in the moment.
Every now and then I over eat, or under eat, or just have a messy food day, but I never beat myself up over it anymore, because therein lies the danger for me.
I love your videos Abbey, they are definitely one of the tools I used when I feel a bit wonky!
Thank you for making this video! People with BED are so often dismissed. Our binges are downplayed because ‘everyone overeats from time to time.’ I used to eat until my stomach felt like it would explode. Until I couldn’t take a full breath. That was self-destructive. Yes, eating can be self-destructive! People don’t understand the psychological components that go along with this disorder. It literally controls your life.
I was put on my first diet at age 8. I wanted to meet my family’s expectations but I was so hungry. I remember sneaking into the kitchen after everyone went to sleep and binging. I felt like a failure. Food was my go-to stress reliever. My best friend & my worst enemy.
I contunued to struggled with BED & other disordered eating patterns throughout my teens and 20s. It wasn’t until I sought out therapy to deal with my crappy childhood that I was able to overcome this cycle. I learned to identify my triggers & deal with them in non self-destructive ways. I’ve only binged once this year & after reflecting, I see where I dropped the ball. Recovery is a road, not a destination.
If I’m being completely up front about my health journey I usually find that when I stay in the 150s or 140s I’m fine and I’m usually pretty good on tank staying on top of my eating habits but I definitely noticed that you have stress or certain life events those can definitely yo-yo your health. All of us want to think that way we can be pretty much dye free and when were younger we have a lot of time to exercise yeah we can definitely get away with it for the most part but you know I think the bigger picture should be that if you’re eating you eat to live rather than live to eat and so if you’re someone who eats large portions then you definitely are not taking care of yourself and again it’s not easy I’ve definitely been there. The real big aspect is to motivate yourself to eat healthy and to savour foods that are not necessarily the most enjoyable. Personally I enjoy eating oatmeal for breakfast most of the time obviously it’s more than that but it’s just one aspect.
AS a teen I would binge eat, simply because I was dieting and got so hungry!! My mother kept comparing my weight and figure unfavourably to hers when she was a teen. And she would make nasty remarks if she caught me snacking. We need to be careful what we say to our children.
idk if you’ve already done a video like this, but i would be interested in seeing what is true/untrue and what really are the best options when it comes to variables like fat free vs regular, gluten free vs whole grain vs regular, dairy free vs dairy, and just covering health benefits or disadvantages of typical foods and the replacements used in things like i mentioned above.
Thank you so much. I am on a difficult journey right now healing my relationship with food and my body. My ED is deeply rooted from my childhood, with my mother forcing me to drink slim fast at the young age of 8 and constantly telling me I was going to get diabetes.
I came across your videos and they have been so helpful and encouraging (alongside my amazing therapist).
I am grateful for your videos so much as I am in the midst of diet mindset deprogramming.
You’re such a breath of fresh air with realistic, relatable and science backed evidence. We appreciate the lengths you go to in researching everything, providing helpful solutions and also being open about your own experiences 🙏🏻💕
I found meal planning helps. I know what I’m eating for each of my meals and roughly what time I will take my meals. I also plan and meal prep some high-protein snacks. I have 1-2 snacks per day in addition to my three main meals. I don’t really binge eat anymore.
Ummmm… I have been struggling with binge eating for the past couple years and nearly everything she listed applies to me. Seeing that there is research explaining my behaviour is so helpful.
Thank you so much for this video today. It helped me remember so many things I had worked on with my dietrician last year, that I was not actively applying anymore as I fell back into the binge restrict cycle. Super informative and non-judgemental.
