I’ve watched all of your vlogs and honestly, this was my favourite one. I’m fifty now and looking back, I’ve held myself back from doing so much in my life and you never get that time back. I want to live every minute of my life now but years of being a people pleaser and control freak have left my intuition in tatters. Not just intuitive eating but intuitive feelings in general. It’s got to the stage where when I ask myself what I want, I’m coming up empty because I feel bound by caring for others and responsibility to be what I’ve always been for the people in my life. Fear of hurting others so you can feel fulfilled and happy is very difficult to reconcile and carry out.

This completely shifted my mood and the way I see my situation - especially when you said you were happiest and most confident at your highest weight. Right now my main goal is to find happiness - knowing it's possible to be happy regardless of what my body looks like relieves a lot of pressure off of me. Thank you so much for this <3

I’ve been fighting with disordered eating for about 35yrs! It started with bulemia, then anorexia when in was in my teens and early 20’s. I was kind of alright during the years that I had kids, then things got bad again with over-exercising and anorexia (to lose the baby weight). Now, as a 49yr old, I’ve swung in the opposite direction and I fight binges a most every day and I’m horribly over-weight and can’t seem to break the cycle. Each day I avoid mirrors, old pics of myself and wonder why my husband is still with me…

I found you the exact moment i needed you the most.

I have tried pushing myself and going out and doing things that would normally make me happy so that I don’t have regrets, but when I do I just get so anxious about food the whole time that I end up being miserable and feeling guilty if I ate the food or binging at night if I didn’t 😢

Wow! Thank you so much for sharing your story Rachael, I hadn't realized I was doing this, putting things on hold, and your advice really helps. Thank you, for all that you're doing to help other women who struggle with their body image and relationship to food. You are a hero.

Hi Rachael, Thank you for the video! I don't know why i didn't get the last 3 videos from you, I am subscribed with the bell... Well, i saw this one today, and I really needed this! I had bulemia for about 10 years from 18 to 28. I am 49 now, I have had disordered eating back to when I was 10 years old. I went "all in" about a month ago. I am 225 lbs, and I went to the dentist yesterday and found out my BP is pretty high. Like 155 over 109. I have had more peace with food this month, some emotional eating, some over eating, and only a couple binges. Which is pretty good for me. I find I feel very crappy when I eat white bread and cakes and cookies and sugary stuff. I'm starting to notice how food really makes me feel. I love to go walking, and I go sporatically because of weather (michigan) but i think i will start walking in stores after the new year. Do you have any suggestions for me about how I should approach food with my weight as high as it is and my potential dangerous heart condition?? I am still learning to listen to my body, can't say i'm good at it yet. Maybe just keep focusing on that? I should binge on your videos, they do help me think better. Love you and the work you are doing! God bless you! Merry Christmas and Happy new year! PS, I gave up coffee a couple weeks ago, I realised how bad it made me feel and started drinking caffeine free tea and chicory. Thanks to listening to my body, and I feel better.

Hi I love your videos they uplift me when I'm home alone at night when hubby's away says I'm obsessed with food because I expect to eat evernight I was wondering do you drink?

[HelenaHuysman]

How exactly did you change your mindset ? What things did you say to your self during the day? Because it's difficult to keep these things in mind every minute of your day.

Can you translate my Arabic comment because my English is not very good ( أخيرًا وبعد سنوات من كره شكلي وشكل جسمي وضعف ثقتي بنفسي قررت أن هذا الوضع لا يناسبني وأن قيمتي الذاتية غير مرتبطة بشكلي وإستوعبت أنني كنت قاسية جدًا على نفسي وأعرف أن هذه أول خطوة للتغيير وهي الإعتراف بوجود المشكلة لكن حرفيًا أشعر أنني عالقة بنفس المكان ، مهما حاولت أن أتغير ف أنا لا أرى نتائج واضحة ولو كانت صغيرة ، هل من الممكن أن تقولي لي خطوات أعملها لكي أزيد من ثقتي بنفسي ولكي أتقبل شكلي وشكل جسمي ، وشكرًا جزيلًا لكي )
