79. When Recovery Isn't Quite Recovery At All

So what if your journey through your eating disorder recovery isn't going the way you had thought it would go?  You made huge strides with eating- you eat all the macros, eat way more frequently than you had before, and you challenge yourself with foods, but you still feel obsessive and anxious; you just feel you are not quite there yet.  You feel something is off. For sure, it feels a lot better than before; after all, you are eating and feeling more energized than ever! But completely free from the shackles of your eating disorder? Not thinking about food all the time? That's not a thing you experience at all. And you wonder why. You wonder why your mind is still tied up with food if you've made all this progress.  Or maybe you know why. And it has to do with how much your fear is holding you back. Your fear of not "eating healthy" or your fear of "gaining weight" is getting in the way.  Maybe you are someone who struggled with anorexia, and now you struggle with orthorexia.    Resources  LEAVE A REVIEW + help someone who may need this podcast by sharing this episode.
