How can autistic people make peace with weight gain in eating disorder recovery? After exploring the underlying reasons for the fear of weight gain in Part 1 and Part 2 of this weight gain series, Part 3 is all about how to accept a healthy body. Livia challenges the conventional “love your body” narrative and instead, offers an ecological approach that particularly resonates with the autistic mind.

You'll learn:

• Why the illusion of control in eating disorders becomes a prison rather than protection
• How extreme hunger challenges our perception of recovery, especially when already weight restored
• The transformation of viewing your body as part of nature rather than a possession to control
• Why body neutrality might be more helpful than body positivity for autistic individuals
• How black-and-white thinking can be redirected from obstacle to advantage in recovery
• A revolutionary approach to body acceptance that doesn't require "loving" your body
• The unexpected way autistic traits can become allies in making peace with weight gain

This episode concludes the series with a powerful message: the fear of weight gain makes sense, the need for safety is valid, AND there's another way to find that safety – one that works with the autistic mind rather than against it.
