I have adhd and it's soo hard to stick with It and rembering.

if you're having trouble with constant eating, what you can try is intermittent fasting. this is what i used to lose 127lbs, i am now 142lbs @ a height of 5'8. typically what would happen is that i would diet and eat well throughout the day, and then come evening i binge. by fasting, and pushing my first meal out as late as i can in the day, I found i wasnt hungry late night. how this works. I wake up at 6am, start my day with a glass of water with a tblspn of apple cider vinegar. then I do a 15 min workout. i would have my black coffee, and then drink water as a filler. my first meal is usually around 2 -3 pm. luckily my work keeps my mind busy and off the food. Then i have a giant meal around 2-3 which consumes maybe about 80% of my daily calories, then i have the remaining calories later in the evening, around 7 or 8pm. then i try to go to bed around 10 to 10:30. going to sleep is key, the longer you stay up, the hungrier you get. also a good tip is to make sure your meals are pre prepped, or at least most of it. because when your going for your first meal with 18 hours in between meals your impulse is going to want to grab things you can consume quickly without preparing. this is what I found helped me.

"true discipline is really self-remembering".... wow. mind-blowing. thank you Sarah for the reflexion

ever since i started watching ur videos and listening to ur podcasts, i actually lost interest in other videos. there is something in ur videos that i really really adore. the way u speak is so gentle, i want to listen to it. i don't get tired of listening to it. for some reason i am able to absorb everything that u say. it resonates with me so much.

I agree. I have unfollowed all the other's and am listening here exclusively. Each video really hits home for me and I already mentally feel so much better.

I have found that most of the folks I have met who have "iron will" lack a lot of empathy for others. A lot of them came from abusive backgrounds. I am not sure that I would call them healthy. I have discipline for some things and not for others. It is a matter of finding what works for you, and the advice here is certainly worth considering.

Love the perspective of self-discipline as self-remembering. I definitely tend to forget myself and I think cultivating this perspective will be really helpful!

I just discovered your channel from a podcast interview you did a while back. What fantastic content. Thank you for putting this out into the world. You are helping so many people. Namaste.

You are very welcome! I'm happy to hear it's helping xx

I have been in "Eating Disorder" therapy for 3y and I have felt the need for information related to my specific ED (since most patients in my service suffer from anorexia or bulimia). I thank you for making this info available publically and for free. I'm really excited to take my time and focus my recovery with info less general and more pertinent. 💜

This video is fantastic ! So helpful, thanks so much Sarah!

Thank you. Your gentle and calming demeanor is really nice. Learning to be good and nice to myself (in my thinking) feels so healing. I gave myself permission (talking to myself) to have any kind of food that I felt like having when hungry (because it's a trigger to think of never having certain things again or that it's "bad" to eat them) and I suddenly feel much calmer/un-panicked about it and feel no need to shovel food in after saying it to myself. For right now it's a mantra and has been freeing. I hope this makes sense.

What happens when you remember what you wanted and you’re self aware in the moment that you’re supposed to “eat the salad” but you STILL chose to eat the bad food ???

I think many of us have an inner rebel where the moment we 'should' ourselves (I'm 'supposed' to eat the salad) that part resists being told what to do. The therapy we would think about this as parts work - we have different parts inside us who want and need different things, which means the skill is learning to manage inner conflict. In your situation it sounds like part of you thinks you should have the salad because that's the 'healthy' and 'right' thing to do. Another part wants to be free to make food choices and enjoy delicious food. You are the one who is able to listen and observe these parts. Problem is that many people get into a fight with the part of them they don't like (the part that doesn't want the salad) and so they start a war with themselves.
