The Transformational Hack that you’re Avoiding in Eating Disorder Recovery
In eating disorder recovery, you’ll be searching for the latest mindset hack or magic technique to miraculously propel you out of food obsession and into the land of peaceful eating.
You’re absorbing YouTube recovery content like it’s a full-time job and following the progress of inspiring recovery warriors on socials.
You might watch ‘What I Eat in a Day Content’ on repeat, in a search of the perfect meal plan, so that your body can recover in the ‘right way’.  The ideal recovery fantasy is a thing!
Perhaps you are fixated on healthy eating, bordering on orthorexia whilst searching for the plan that will transport you to recovery land, without having to embark on embracing your forbidden foods or anything that could contaminate your system.
Sometimes you can search for every possible solution without returning to some of the basic and fundamental recovery practices.
You’re metaphorically rearranging the skidding deckchairs on the sinking Titanic, rather than addressing the core issue that’s sinking you deeper into the sea.
It is the boring and unsexy work of regular eating in eating disorder recovery.
In this episode, I explore the importance of regular eating and how to practically put it into practice.

5 Bitter Truths About Eating Disorder Recovery
If eating disorder recovery was just an easy-peasy walk in the woods, picking bluebells and skipping along beautifully curated paths, then you probably wouldn’t be listening to this.
Although recovery can lead to some spectacular destinations and a whole bucket of inner peace, the initial routes are often bumpy and tangled with weeds and rocks blocking the way. It can feel frankly quite terrifying.
This is not to put you off embarking or continuing along the road.
In fact, it is to support you in honesty and reality, and to empower you to keep on going.
In this episode, I explore 5 bitter truths about eating disorder recovery. I hope that you find it helpful.
