What to Do AFTER Binge Eating – 5 Ways to Get Back on Track

WHAT TO DO AFTER BINGE EATING – FIVE WAYS TO GET BACK ON TRACK.
So, you've just binged. You feel miserable, guilty and maybe disgusted with yourself. How you RESPOND to a binge eating session is a big part of recovery from binge eating. There are tried and tested things you can do to hit the reset button to halt the chaos.

If you've binged, that's now in the past. In this video I'll talk you through how to let this go and what to do next. I won't be telling you to drink more water and there isn't a food plan in sight!

The 'uplifting' resources mentioned in the video (plus extras):

I woke up this morning early after binge last night and felt disgusting. I had to work so i have no time for walk or anything similar. After listening to this i put on face mask which seems simple thing but it isn't. It feels that something i don't deserve at the moment but i did it. Somehow it helps to feel that i am worthy no matter what.

For me, something that really helped was to stop thinking that having a binge (food or internet) would waste my whole day as a "unhealthy/bad/depressed day". It might happen at some point during the day, but it doesn't mean I can't still do something good for myself after (like going for a walk, read a book, see a friend). This has progressively made me more capable to manage the binges, cause I can actually stop half way and not let it go on for hours.
As small as they are, you can still integrate positive things in your life.

One of the hardest things I find is waking up with a puffy face and feeling bloated and like all my fat cells got blown up like balloons (I can feel my underchin folds differently when I look down) and then eating a normal breakfast.
It feels so unnatural to eat when hours earlier I took the amount of calories I could run my engine on for a few days straight.

I appreciate this video, and your advice. It’s a hard topic to discuss with my friends and family as it’s too embarrassing for me, and the fear that people won’t understand. I binge when my depression gets too out of hand, but I will try your “tips”, they’re most helpful.

My period just had to mess me up 😮‍💨 I binged yesterday and the day before. I physically feel bad and am sad that I’ve ruined progress in my health journey. It’s also frustrating because I have 2 Christmas meals in a row Friday/Saturday. I want to enjoy them but I feel like I need to undo my backtracking. It’s also really annoying that if I eat a bunch, my appetite adjust to that level super fast and I feel hungry the next day. I’m bloated hungry and disappointed. Oh well, I guess I’m grateful for the rain today. It’s my favourite weather.

I've been in the recover process for the past 2 years, and in most days i got the hang of it. some other times, like this week, i feel lost and forgot how i used to do it.

I was about to do a big mistake...typed 'what to do after a binge' on YT instead and found your video. I won't say I feel yayyy now, but at least I don't wanna hurt myself anymore. Just walking in the appartment with headphones, planning to walk (my belly is so tight I feel I'll explode) listening to nice uplifting podcasts. And keep my journal handy. Thank you Sarah for your wise tips, really really

I feel disgusted with myself and ashamed. I hate this out of control. I know better but I keep doing this.

THANK YOU and God bless you for getting straight to the point, for taking this to a higher level than just ‘vlogging’ in a super revealing, skimpy gym outfit the day after “overeating” 🙄 this video was actually helpful and made a lot of sense. I really appreciate it.

Acceptance is cognitive, not feelings... Thank you for explaining it like this. I can't feel ok, but I can understand it happened.

[kathrynaston]

you are on my morning list. Thank you💜

[minniecc]

Thank you so much for this video. It really helped me after a period of binge eating x

[massiecure]

thank you so much for your videos and lectures, i love taking a walk after a meal and also drinking green tea for the bloating. and yes ofc you're right that I'm watching this after i finished binging. i also think it has something to do with my relapse with iced coffee. I've been taking them daily again, along with milk tea which are both spiked with sugar and milk. i hope i can shake this off again.

Thank you for this video. It's loaded with lots of info and tips. The one that struck me most is the setting an intention. It feels to me that what you're saying about setting an intention is it's to help put ourselves back in the moment and halt the black/white, all/nothing thinking and break things down into smaller workable portions of life. For example after a binge or even a slip for me my thinking is "I can NEVER do that again and what a lazy, fat, disgusting human I am" so instead I might try saying to myself "in this moment I am choosing to love myself and not continue or participate in a binge, self loathing, beating myself up self talk and stay present and remember the good I'm doing for/to/speaking of myself, from that moment love this idea. Sorry if I'm long winded. That helps me sort my thinking out.

yesss when you said life could still be good while struggling with binging 😢 its still worth living, I'm still worthy to live

Thank you for talking about this and having compassion for those of us that are going through this. I fast daily. It was the switch from going from keto to going to intermittent fasting so I could eat what I wanted during my eating window. I’m just Being honest here but I was pretty strict with keto for almost 3 years but I was so tired of not having the foods I wanted….at any time! I was upset at myself for even having one day a week to have a few carbs and that was horrible. I wanted much more but couldn’t have it. So intermittent fasting it allows me to have what I want as long as I don’t go past my window and eat 100% junk. Although my husband and son don’t fast with me so at times it can be quite difficult. Especially on the weekends I want to binge and eat with my husband in front of the tv. I find when I do this I’m happy at first but when I binge and go longer than my window, it puts me behind for the week and I’m more miserable than I would be if I just kept my window OMAD.

I would love to hear a guided meditation from you. I sometimes just use your videos to hear your voice to calm me down as it has an ASMR effect on me. Would be really helpful.
