βπΌ Subscribe -- https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-emma-guns-show/id1102982843So, this is what a relapse feels like? | The Emma Guns Showπ I've spoken at length about my body image, weight loss and recovery from binge eating disorder, so I suppose it's only right that I share what it felt like to relapse. Recovery isn't linear, but this 'blip' was one that I couldn't fend off with my usual tactics but I did manage to navigate it differently from when I was in the gripes of binge eating disorder.I hope sharing this makes someone else feel a little bit better or, at least, a little less alone.π° I also wang on about hydration sachets in this episode including:Ancient & BraveHumantraWillpowdersπ In this video I'm wearing:Vieve Varsity Sweatshirt, Β£45.*contains affiliate links.π§ Contact me:office@emmaguns.comπ Read me:Subscribe to my Substack: https://emmaguns.substack.com/Follow me:π± https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/ Hosted on Acast.

Bullet Points | This could backfire terribly...
βπΌ Subscribe -- https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-emma-guns-show/id1102982843This could backfire terribly... | The Emma Guns Showπ I had such a wonderful response to the most recent episodes about how to get on top of your health and fitness goals, but at the same time, I've noticed tonnes of content online that gives the impression that making lifestyle changes is really quite easy and just involves stopping doing one thing and starting doing another. And, in many cases, it involves doing all these things at one. I thought I'd poke fun at this a bit (let's see if it backfires) and hopefully engage some new listeners/viewers who might benefit from hearing a different, less idealistic but hopefully more helpful approach.π° The Instagram I posted is here: π In this video I'm wearing:Adanola Rib Racer Vest Top, Β£24.99.π§ Contact me:office@emmaguns.comπ Read me:Subscribe to my Substack: https://emmaguns.substack.com/Follow me:π± https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/The Instagram I posted is here: Hosted on Acast.
