Sharon Noelle's video: REALISTIC WHAT I EAT IN A DAY Binge Eating Disorder Recovery My Approach Tips Habits

“You will become who you are after you have been lost and recovered time and time again– you will turn up without pieces that needed to be shredded and with new discoveries that will give you a stepping stone to move forward on.” ― Brianna Wiest Hellloo my friends! In this video I'm taking you through "what I eat in a day" while on my BED recovery journey. Unlike other typical "What I eat in a Day" videos, I'm not focusing on the actual meals (giving recipes, calories etc), but rather my mindful approach, tips & sustainable habits I am trying to build to permanently end binge eating & live a healthy lifestyle. I also understand that when it comes to food - not all of us prepare our own meals, and many of us still live at home with our parents who cook a lot of food for us (myself included) or are low on time, so meal-prepping for yourself isn't always practical. Also, I have nothing against tracking or counting calories - right now while on my BED recovery journey, this is something that I have to set aside while I focus on just ending binge eating.
