Step 3: Sit down and be present while you're eating; eat your food sitting down - not standing up, while watching TV, when driving....or um, while watching videos about emotional eating on YouTube...LOL! I'm laughing because that's exactly what I'm doing at this very moment! Haha! But I'm sure I'm not the only one!

@FortuneFantastica

Hilarious! Surely you are NOT the only one! So funny, you made my night!

Hi Josie, I LOVE this video. I am new to your videos and wanted to ask how much weight you lost and how long it took you to lose? Have you been eating like a thin eater? Also have you heard of the Weigh down diet? What your saying sounds very similar to it :)

Please write me

Hi there! So glad you are liking the videos. I don't weigh myself but I've gone from a size 8/10 to a 4. It is a process the weight comes off quickly when I do not use food to cope...it comes off as quickly as I learn the skills...hope this helps!

I've watched this video before and, although what you talked about made a lot of sense, as an emotional eater, I just never got it. I thought, "yah, okay that sounds great in theory, but really who does that?" Ha ha ha to me, because I'm doing that now. I've come across "I can make you thin"  and he talks exactly about these. I've been doing these rules and I now have a better relationship with food . . ahh. . . FREEDOM! So, I just wanted to say thanks for making this video. . . you rock!

[josielenore]

Oh I am SO SO SO thrilled to hear that you are experiencing freedom! Isn't it the BEST feeling ever!!! Thanks so much for letting me know!!!

completely agree. i never overate as a child, but after i because anorexic in high school I started binging. That was 7 years ago. I still struggling with overeating today. Although my body is in no way emaciated, my mind still doesn't believe that the food will always be here. or rather will always be allowed. The only way I can really stop binging is when I focus on enriching my life and take food away from its central position. its depressing when food is all you have to look forward to.

Great video!! Thanks for explaining intuitive eating in layman's terms....I had such a struggle getting my head around it!!

Just started my own vlog about disordered eating, so this is great inspiration for me!! Thank-you!! :) x

lol. I like the story about the big men from the 40's. They basically turned them into women :P

Thank you I've been dieting for a long time and I've been very hard on Myself. I now hope to use your advice how much excersice do I need to do?

[sarkerraj007]

uuuhhh yeah... has anybody considered the Acuspeed 24 Diet (search on google)? I hear some unbelivable talk about it and my aunt got rid of a lot of weight doing it.

[smoothseas1]

amazing. very informative and interesting, thank you. I hope you start making more videos again, I can't get enough of them!

I am so tired of suffering from overeating.

I can do two weeks then I go wacko.

If I get upset about something, not every little thing but something I'm worried about.

Guess what I end up doing. I just want to get out of this mindset.

So sad this feeling of not being able to take care of my self without eating compulsively!

1700 calories is VERY low for young men, they probably felt as though they were starving.

[kennerzzz]

@Sugarrsweet1 i very recently just broke the cycle. i lived on 300 calories a day for the past month, and am up to 600 calories today! it's very liberating. i'm also starting a yoga class very soon to re-tone my muscles, but more importantly, to get an overall healthy body and mind. best of luck to you!

i've been on a battle with anorexia, and go through periods of heavy restriction and binge eating. when i was a kid, i was always considered an "anorexic weight", the most i've ever weighed was 20 pounds underweight. all because i listened to my body. now, i can't trust myself with food, because i overeat, then restrict to make up for it, which obviously will cause more over-eating. it's a difficult cycle to break, but i'm sure i can make it through. thanks for this video [:
