Such a good topic. It is everywhere and so rampant in the eating disorder recovery space. People posing themselves in their active wear or the plant based meal they are eating...some how doesn't feel like full recovery to me. Just an extension of the diet/ "lifestyle" mindset.

Yup! I've learnt that, regardless of what others might be doing, that is not the recovery I want for myself. It saddens me that I used to aim for that... That kind of lifestyle was never going to enable me to break free of my eating disorder compulsions around eating 'healthy', exercising, and thinking that I needed to look a certain way to be healthy or happy.

Thank you! I’m scared in recovery today. I’m so tired and keep eating through my fears but struggle with the sensation of sitting and resting. Feeling very lonely as a single mom with only two kids here. Your videos and adult presence are very helpful.

Thank you for your kind message! If you are feeling scared in recovery that usually means you're doing the right thing :) Oh gosh the tiredness is hard, so is sitting and resting. I feel for you. I can't imagine going through recovery with two kids, although hopefully they help to motivate you in some ways too (like so you can model a healthy relationship with food)? Lots of love xxx

This has been the biggest struggle at this point for me. You’ve been a huge help in reframing my thoughts around processed foods. It helps me to constantly remind myself that when I was eating “perfect” (which by the way changed constantly on what was allowed and what was not), I felt HORRIBLE. I feel my best physically and mentally when I eat all foods. Eliminating just one food group or taking out processed foods, leads me right on back to my disorder.

YES absolutely right, Joy! It's incredible how much better I feel when I allow myself to eat ALL foods, including those that diet culture and/or my ED has deemed 'unhealthy'. Those foods are SO important for my body and mind to heal, and also for the enjoyment of my life! I know when I look back on my life I won't care if I ate 'perfectly', but I will fondly remember the experiences I had- joining in with people, getting free ice-cream at an event, baking with my sister etc. Cutting out food groups had a huge negative impact on me that I don't think I truly understood until I began eating them again. I felt lonely, anxious, sad, tired.... I am so much happier now. Thank you for your comment as always, I love hearing from you. Lots of love xxx
