In this episode I discuss the fear of restoring weight without fully rewiring your brain and recovering mentally - and how this may be your eating disorder in disguise. Topics discussed include:

- Where this fear often comes from (and how to tell if it's driven by your ED or your healthy self)

- The fear of recovery 'not working', or 'wasted weight gain'

- Why weight gain happening before full mental recovery is normal and not inherently bad

- How recovery perfectionism and needing to 'do recovery the right way' can hold you back

- Fear of losing access to care once weight restored

So you're 'better, but not fully there', and others assume you're fine... Why is taking those last steps to full recovery still so important and beneficial?

In this episode I discuss 'quasi recovery', ambivalence and resistance, the classic ED arguments against full recovery, and the difference between coping versus healing (and why true healing is possible and so worth it!)

What is eating like after an eating disorder? In this episode I am joined by fellow Let's Recover coach Louisa to discuss our lived experience journeys from recovery to recovered, and how our beliefs and behaviours around food- and eating has shifted over the years.

Topics discussed include:

• Going from a meal plan to intuitive eating
• Does binge urges truly go away?
• How cravings shift ('will I ever crave fruits and vegetables again?')
• What true, intuitive eating really looks like
• Food noise, and what level of this to expect post-recovery
• How we view calories now versus during our ED
• Food- and body comparison
