Unrestrict-ED

In this episode, Emily & Han discuss responding to increased hunger in recovery. The key takeaway points are:

Get back to basics: Eating without restriction and being oppositional to ED are long-term recovery commitments.
Coping comes with allowing.
Let go of the idea of a fixed ‘right amount’.
Nutritional rehabilitation takes a lot of energy.
Try not to always look to justify. Try to lean into trust.
Use your breathing, connect with support, turn to reassuring resources
Just get curious: can I be bolder?

Delicious tasty food is often more energy dense
Recovery = going towards perceived threat
Allow yourself to burst out of the survival state
Celebrate wider life abundance + pleasure + comfort 
Ensure portion abundance of the delicious food

What is the MOST bold thing I could do here?
ED-OCD is elevated by energy debt. Nutritional rehabilitation is a foundation of actioning.
Apply the “both/and” approach (not “keep it” vs “take it out”)
Show your brain sheer abundance of that food, and all other food.
Expand your 'windows of permission'
Challenge all conditions of that food
