How to Eat Donuts, Chocolate and Pizza With Permission and Without Bingeing

If you’re recovering from an eating disorder, you might well desire to eat all the foods that you have been depriving yourself of, as a rebellion against the restriction or dieting fatigue. You may have an all or nothing relationship with food.

You’re either being super-healthy and good, or chaotic and devouring everything in sight. Maybe you binge on ‘bad foods’ that you would normally forbid yourself. In recovery, it’s helpful to move towards permitting all these foods into your eating plan. This doesn’t mean eating donuts for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Or throwing health goals out of the window.

It’s about embracing food neutrality and taking food off the pedestal of maximal pleasure. It’s possible to achieve healthy eating (not orthorexic eating!), whilst honouring taste, satisfaction and pleasure. Understandably, you might not know where to start. This podcast episode will give your practical steps to make this possible. I hope that you find it helpful.
