Honestly, I have had a binge eating disorder for as long as I can remember. I recently went to Australia and gained more than 10 pounds in less than two weeks, instead of traveling I had days of just sitting in my hotel room or even in the park bingeing. I felt so disgusted by myself which only made things ten times worse!! I am now home and have been spiraling out of control on the regular. Its effecting everything, my work, my fitness, my weight. All I think of is food it consumes me. I feel weak and utterly useless. I know how strong I am, and I know that I can get over this. By watching videos like this and taking a deep breath and realizing I am not alone. Using the resources (especially described in this video!). I will recover, I will be the person I want to be. I realize now that Binge Eating is a real disorder and it is incredibly powerful, hard to overcome. But I will! I love myself and I believe in myself. (Sorry for the rant!! Had to get it out somewhere!!!).

Love! This rant is everything. What you said in the end...there is so much POWER in your words. I feel them so deeply. You WILL recover like you said. It is inevitable. This is your year!! I promise you 💖

Someday I will recover.. I have been struggling with this for almost 4 years and its the most difficult thing I've ever dealt with. Im going to buy the book Brain Over Binge because I've heard so much about it. Thanks for being so brave and posting this.

You are such a sweetheart, thank you for opening up to me. The struggle can be so hard sometimes. I know the feeling. But one day, you will recover too girl I promise you. Never give up on yourself

Binge eating disorder is so scary. I’ve gained 15 pounds in 2 weeks eating to a point where I was sick. My skin was stretching uncontrollably and I noticed a new stretch mark every day. My face was breaking out from eating junk and stress. None of my clothes would fit. I was anxious being around food. I would eat my coworkers food all the time. It’s a mental battle! I came across this channel called the “snake diet” and started fasting. I’m finally healing myself mentally and physically by fasting. I also use other tips such as not eating in my car, eating slowly and meal prepping. Thank you for this video. I struggled for a year and related to every little thing you said. You are beautiful inside and out!

@@hypnoliebecoaching8296 hey love. Binge eating comes in many styles. What works for someone might not work for others. It sounds like both of your situations are very hard to endure, binge eating is so so difficult :( I want nothing but both of you to find your recovery!

People need to educate themselves more on probiotics, candida albicans, and parasites. We as a world have been terribly wronged by the companies putting out so many harmful products that we eat. Those things destroy our gut health which plays a major role on our mental health and decision making. I have already started incorporating some of your teachings on loving myself. Out of self-hatred, all negative life situations are born. Love is the way out. Peace.

I‘ve been a Binge Eater for 25 years! It‘s NOT just a phase! It‘s a severe disorder and I hate it!

I'm scared my binging will kill me, I started as a way to cope after my sons suicide and binging has been my biggest friend and support. I want to stop but I also love this friend.

Your testimony broke my heart. You're very brave for sharing this. Thank you so much! I'm at the start of a binge eating disorder and I can feel myself spiraling out of control and food becoming the center of everything. I feel like I'm balancing on a thin line, walking carefully from one meal to the next and trying to hold it all together. I exist in blocks of time from meal to meal. It's going to kill me because I'm trying so hard to get control of my type 2 diabetes, but I can't with this problem. You give me hope, though. I need to stop this now. I'm going to look into that book you recommended. And I have an appointment to see a psychologist this month.

Thank you for opening up about this! I've been battling with this for many years without ever consulting thinking it would "just go away"... it didn't ( obviously!) I had to do something about it when after 2 years of trying for a baby I was told that my bad habit was stopping me from getting pregnant... I cried like I never cried before! I'm now in therapy and havent binge in over month! ❤ we will get through this!❤

I have no doubt you will find a way to recover and have a healthy pregnancy. As a woman who has also struggled with this ,if I may , these types of disorders can be passed on to our children.No one told me ! I unfortunately ,as many decades of therapy as I've had and as careful as I was , my daughter developed an eating disorder. As a mother I cannot tell you how devastating this is. Had I known this prior to having her I would've put myself back in therapy during key times that were triggering that I didn't even recognize were triggers for me. Not trying to be negative, just pass on information no one gave me. Had I known, so many changes to save her.....and me. This video is a great start!

I am exhausted. I want to change but I'm losing hope... I can't find the strength. It's a daily fight and I keep screwing myself over 😭

This video has really helped me understand that I really am suffering and it’s valid and how my disorder developed. You’re very strong, I feel your pain. Thank you.

Thank you so much, this helped me so much I really appreciate your video and the time and effort it took to make this. I am going to recover and live a happy and healthy life!

Keep it up Ka Well done Very inspirational 🖤

Thank you so much for your video. You are so REAL. I love that. And much of what you said resonated with me. I have BED too, and it is such a daily struggle for me. What type of fitness challenge on Instagram did you do? I am always looking for ways to stop this mess and happy one of the ways you did was pretty normal and seems like having others to support me would help. Thanks again!

Yes exactly! Well the challenge is over and was associated with a fitness influencer on the gram. But there are many other challenges and programs (for example, I just finished the #gymshark66 challenge!). If you don't have a fitstagram yet, start one! You will instantly connect with people in the fitness community who are like you and me, just trying to become better happier versions of ourselves ☺️

Your story made me bawl cause it's so close to where I am only I am overweight and have punished myself and thought things like that

Binging has caused me to gain so much weight I'm tired of the constant bullying guilt and self hatred i just want to stop i just want to be normal. Binging has caused me to be severely depressed and earlyer this year i was admitted into a psychiatric hospital for a suicide attempt i already have social anxiety ,generalized anxiety and panic attacks and honestly bingeing has made it sooooo much worse I'm currently only 14 and been struggling with my weight my whole life but only developed bed around 2-3 years ago i honestly hate myself so much and i just want this to end I'm soo done with it. I've never been "skinny" by any means this has made it so much worse i just wish to be normal i just want the bullying and self hatred the looks everything to just stop i want my mind to let me be normal I'm done with this cycle of restricting failing binging hatred why cant it just go away.

Omg I’m currently going through the same thing I’m only a week off binging please pray for me

Hey girl. I have been recovered for one year now, but you know what? Recently I had a really bad relapse of about 3 weeks. It was horrible. But I'm past it now, bc I didn't let it define me. Relapse is going to be a part of recovery, but it doesn't take away all the progress you made (even if you do get a lil bloated or gain weight from it). Weight gain is not failure at recovery. Just like a relapse isn't failure. Keep being strong love, you're going to get there 💖

HI, I was wondering I heard about Brain Over Binge from another youtuber and was wondering which one should I get because Kathryn Hansen made "Brain over Binge" and then also "Brain over Binge Recovery Guide". I was leaning toward getting the recovery guide one because it seems like it would be more about the recovery side than the telling of her personal story but I'm not sure. What do you think?

The concept in brain over binge about breaking the reward cycle in your brain by not allowing yourself to feed into this...I'm not sure how this isnt the same thing as just saying "just stop binging"

I know, I struggled with that part of the book as well

-Read Brain over Binge, take high powered probiotics, and focus on being good to yourself and don’t be hard on yourself if you slip and talk to someone “. This will save you much time because there are various wastes of time during video doesn’t really get into it until about six minutes!

I am just a human who went through something really hard, and knows that other people have a hard time with this same thing. I just want to do good. I just want to help. I am not a professional, I'm not trained, I am just someone who made an amateur KZread video with the hope that even just one person could benefit somehow from hearing my story. If this came across as ingenuine to you, that's your interpretation and I can't change that. But thank you for the feedback. Perhaps next time I try to create something to help others with this, and there will be a next time, I will take in to account your perspective. Take care x
