Recovery Talk

Explore the dynamics of food obsession and its ties to eating disorders. Discover how mental hunger often reflects unmet nutritional needs. Learn why the fear of emotional eating can hinder recovery. Delve into the connection between anxiety and excitement, and find out why overeating feels different post-recovery. Get practical advice for those struggling to gain weight despite a seemingly adequate diet. Embrace an unrestricted approach to nourishing your body and reclaiming a healthy relationship with food.

In today's episode I have the wonderful Danie van Kay with me (@daniellevankay) to talk about our coming course Bye ED (letsrecover.co.uk/bye-ed-course), extreme hunger and Danie's experience eating 8000+ calories in recovery, and what to do when your treatment professionals fear the same thing as your eating disorder.

Feeling stuck and demotivated in recovery is a common experience. Why does this happen, how do we get out of the quasi rut, and how do we keep going when we want to quit?

Why do so many people with eating disorder feel tempted to pursue body fitness, and is it really healthy? In today's episode we talk about the dark sides of the fitness industry, and how our perceptions of health is rather skewed.

Recovering in a world that often reinforces disordered behaviors can be challenging. In today's episode we talk about self-protection and self-responsibility, recognizing when we are activated, the importance of boundaries, seeing the world through eating disorder tinted glasses and why expecting the world to cater to our triggers isn't realistic.
