Diet coke fluid retention Videos

thank you for commenting! :) Makes sense that the body will recognize it as new weight, then the new weight and the new lifestyle changes should still be easily obtainable otherwise it wont last i think. But i totally agree that if someone is overweight they can lose weight the healthy way so it stays off for life. If you can make your set point higher, you can also lower it by exercising moderate amounts (could be just by being more active in everyday tasks or finding stuff they really enjoy doing) and then eating more whole foods, eating regularly but also making sure you are not feeling restricted either, otherwise hello binging.But in this particular video i wanted to focus on people who come from ED and who are very prone to restriction every time they hear something about "how to lose weight". So for those people i think it is better to first recover or go through dieting rehab so their body is not in starvation mode or in stress because of "what to eat and what not to eat". And yes the set point theory is interesting and i do have to research more about it and i know i do not know everything either :) but i have seen it on my body and it totally makes sense! 

I did a video about it, but it will be up on Wednesday. We have to heal our minds too. at least you now understand better, its again one step closer to recovery!

+Follow the Fruit Fly  wow, Elisa.... You completely put my thoughts and feelings in text, especially in the last paragraph. Thank you so much again! Yes, I do still feel guilty when I eat a lot or overeat,  and especially when my stomach feels really full, but I still wanna eat more food... :( I know this is really horrible, and I'm trying to resist those thoughts as much as possible. Sometimes, I give myself full permission to eat and not restrict physically or mentally, but when I finish eating or by the end of the day, I feel so guilty and I hate myself for eating so much....Why can't I control my mind, it just want more food. Please do a video regarding this topic. Thank you so so much! 

+taro foodie Thank you for video idea! :)You are still only few months in, so it will take time :) i had some extreme hunger days up to 8 months in my recovery (not often by then, but still).hmm, i try to remember how i started to eat more according to fullness in my recovery...i was about at least 6 months into my recovery when i sometimes did not finish the entire plate (or pot) of food anymore, but just tried to eat until full and see if i want more food in a few minutes or an hour or few hours. Very often i just finished all the food in few minutes/hour anyway because i still felt hungry (even though stomach was full), but i just started to very slowly see how it feels in my body to eat more after fullness, because i started to notice i did not want that much food anymore, but was just eating because "to make sure i get enough". It was not restrictive at all, i felt ready to trust my fullness (or at least to start to experiment with this). I think it took about half more year from that time to eat intuitively completely :) So it took me about a year to eat intuitively, so it will take time. Dont rush it!Its kinda hard to explain how the intuitive eating happened for me, but my biggest tip is that ALWAYS respond to hunger, even though you think you are eating out of boredom or whatever. If you TRY to eat less or intuitively when you are still hungry (physically or emotionally) it may feel like restriction. i remember i also though i was eating out of boredom in my recovery, but now i feel i eat when hungry and stop when full, i dont overeat or feel i "eat out of boredom" or "emotionally" or anything - im simply not hungry when its not meal or snack time :) thats how i can only explain it. But it took time, remember that!And i feel that if you have extreme hunger, you still feel guilty? you dont want to "overeat"? You just have to let this guilty feeling go. I have to do a video about it too! Feeling guilty about eating "too much" in recovery actually feeds the ED and it can be very hard to recovery if you feel guilty about foods or extreme hunger or that "you eat out of boredom and dont deserve to eat" or if you "eat emotionally you should not eat food". It can be a trap for your mind and i even think feeling guilty is our ED making us to restrict. Not even restrict physically, but restrict mentally, because we never give ourselves full permission to eat. We may give full permission physically, but our mind always thinks: "you shouldnt eat that much, you do not need that much food" etc.

+Follow the Fruit Fly Thank you so much for replying to my comment and questions. I really appreciate your help. :)I have another question, which is how can you know/tell when you are fully recovered from your ED? Can you please do a video on this? I was bulimia a year ago, but when I stopped throwing up, I was always weird with food. Like retrying to not gain weight by restricting 1 day or fasting 1 day, and binge on everything I wanna eat, etc. About 2 months ago, I watched your videos, and decided that I wanna fully recover from my ED and my weird habits and obsession with food. At first, I just ate everything, anything that I wanted, and I believe I was experiencing extreme hunger. However, I felt like I was binge eating, emotional eating, overeating, eating out of boredom, or eating to feel avoid all the time, and not eating intuitively. Now I try really hard to eat intuitively, and try to stop when my stomach feels full. But sometimes, my stomach feels full, but my brain tells me I want more food.... I'm trying to develop a general eating schedule with breakfast, lunch and dinner, and snacks in between. Also, I have some medical conditions with my stomach and digestive system, so it is important for me not to always overeat and follow a regular eating schedule. Although, I'm following a regular eating schedule, and trying to eat intuitively, I still get the urges to overeat or binge sometimes...So I'm not sure whether I'm fully recovered or I'm just using food as an emotional comfort.... 

Hi and thank you! :) <3 happy to hear my videos help you! i have written about emotional eating on my website. Please read it and maybe it helps //followthefruitfly.com/emotional-eating-2/ I dont believe so much in emotional eating or thats its even a bad thing to eat when we are stressed (if you come from ED especially). In recovery when you do not restrict or try to compensate anymore its very important to ALWAYS just eat, dont think too much if its ok or normal or should you eat or not. My experience is that whenever you want to eat in recovery (no matter the reason) just eat. I also thought i was "eating emotionally", but once i recovered from ED i magically do not overeat anymore when im stressed, sad, happy or whatever happens.
