LET'S face it – we've all eaten one square of chocolate, only to then end up eating the entire bar.
But if binge-eating is something you regularly struggle with, then you may just want to take note, because a binge-eating coach named Samah has revealed the three things people need to do to lose weight.
In a clip shared to TikTok (@coachsamahb), she says: "You'll never lose weight and actually stop binge-eating unless you do these three things.
First up, she urges people to "stop trying to diet."
"Since I was 15-years-old I had been trying to lose wright through calorie-counting, through chronic dieting, literally even starving myself, but the only thing that actually ever did for me was make me more miserable and gain weight," she says.
"Research has literally proven that 98% of dieters gain the weight back and more."
Samah then says how this leads her onto point number two – stop focusing on the weight loss.
"With my experience, the more that I focus on the weight on the number on the scale, the further I actually got from losing weight and actually having a healthy relationship with food," she says.

"I'd just end up binging – and when I even did get to a certain number on the scale, I'd never actually be happy with myself because I never actually changed anything from the inside.
"When I let go of the weight loss, and I focused on the things that are actually going to help me heal from the inside out, that's when I actually lost weight unintentionally."

Samah then moves onto the third factor – find and heal the root cause of your relationship to food or the underlying reason behind it.
"Something I learned on my own healing journey is that my relationship to food is simply a reflection of my other relationships in my life," she says.
"So, because I was a people pleaser, I was somebody who put everybody else before myself, my own needs, my own desires, were not being met.
"So somehow, it just felt easier to numb it out with food and avoid my emotions and my unmet needs and actually deal with what was going on in my life."
She continues: "I think we need to talk about the fact that us millennials and Gen Xers were never taught how to deal with our emotions.
"So from a very young age our nervous systems are disregulated, so food ends up being a way to actually regulate yourself, but of course, in an unhealthy way.
"So really it's not about the food, it's about healing from the inside – learning to take care of your own needs -and that goes all the way back to childhood when your needs were not met, and regulating your nervous system.
"The way to do this is through somatic healing techniques."
The post has since gone viral, racking up over 44k views and several comments.
