The key takeaways are: Expect resistance Get rid of your scales or measuring equipment Stop buying single packs / single serve portions Act with boldness > tweaking If available, let people in support network portion for you Eat out - abundantly
In this episode, Emily and Han discuss why there may be a desire to immediately go to bed after finishing eating in the evening. The reasons discussed include: The important/interesting events of the day being over - according to an energy deprived brain A rigid meal plan ceiling having been met Avoidance of eating more/mental hunger Avoidance of emotions, thoughts, sitting in the storm
In this episode, Han and Emily discuss the contrasting nature of the ED and healthy self. Compassion and understanding are due: The energy deficit state makes us act differently than we otherwise would. But, don’t 'leave the taps running'. The awareness of the duality requires a response. Don’t get caught up in self-attack. This suits the ED. Make family aware that when the ED is being challenged, it likely will be quite hostile. Notice how ‘one foot in, one foot out’ approach worsens this experience
In this episode, Emily and Han discuss how to overcome the Eds judgement that you are not 'unwell enough' to pursue recovery. The key takeaway points are: Recovery isn't something you earn by pleasing the ED enough. ED is a neural network system, not an entity. A system based on self abandonment has no agenda to permit fully recovery. Nobody who is healthy wishes to be more unwell. Other people's behaviour isn't a reliable measure of your recovery needs. Recovery on your terms, rather than the Eds terms. Don’t try to reason or justify your way out of this.
In this episode, Emily and Han discuss ‘overeating’ post recovery. The main takeaways are: Responding with compassionate action e.g., lying down, herbal tea The thought to compensate doesn't come to mind Trust is a 2 way street No deep fear of fullness Not asking "why"
In this episode, Emily and Han discuss ensuring recovery happens when navigating difficult life circumstances. The key takeaways are: This is WHY recovery is so important: to be able to navigate future circumstances like this (which are inevitable) with compassion and a nourished brain and body. Old patterns cannot be an option Assess how you are keeping other life plates spinning and use those same strategies Being mechanical with use of a solid minimum Setting yourself up to win Keeping it simple Focus on energy density Call out ED-BS. Yes, you should be recovery right now. You do have the skills. Repurpose those.

In this episode Emily and Han discuss the longevity of extreme hunger. The key takeaways are: Extreme hunger isn’t the problem. It’s the solution your body has chosen. Consistency of cue response is of paramount importance Reaching full nutritional rehabilitation is a non-negotiable for the body to move out of 'extreme' responses Recovery eating isn’t supposed to look ‘normal’ Permitting rest is a core component of the body feeling safety. Your job is to remove all tendrils of ED
In this episode, Emily and Han discuss making recovery work in difficult work circumstances. The key takeaways are: Assess whether recovery is possible within the role, or if it is directly oppositional to basic recovery needs. Prioritise recovery: eating abundantly; acting oppositional, resting Advocate for your recovery needs in the work place Practical strategies: - Prioritize breakfast before work - Use portable, quick, high energy snacks - Liquid nutrition - Open up available windows of opportunity - Eat during micro-moments Challenge perfectionism and ideal conditions Consider if this could be an opportunity to challenge the eating disorder

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?

In this episode, Emily and Han discuss the experience of finding abundance and deliciousness threatening. The key takeaway points are…. Bland and non-highly palatable foods often feels more familiar, safe and consistent 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 If you would like to sign up for the newsletter, please let us know here: https://recover-ed.wixforms.com/f/7458167267222619353
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 To sign up to our new newsletter, please fill in this form! https://recover-ed.wixforms.com/f/7458167267222619353

Connect to your why and inner wisdom Accept uncertainty Forge forward regardless of an orange/ red light

In this episode, Emily and Han discuss who to ‘let in’ to your recovery. The key takeaways are: Owning your recovery doesn’t mean doing it alone. It’s okay if your circle is small. You do not owe sharing your recovery. You can choose the depth that you share. As recovery evolves - your support system can too. You can start small and test the waters (e.g., by sending a recovery resource). Who do you need to tell to protect and preserve your recovery?
