Balancing foods & Body Changes

Balancing Food & Body ChangesIn this episode, we explore the mental gymnastics that often come with an eating disorder: balancing meals across the day, planning around events, trying to make every food “fit” a set of rules (to name but a few…). It’s exhausting, and yet utterly compulsive – and so today, we go through some tools to help step away from the maths equation altogether. We also dive into one of the biggest fears in recovery: body changes. What if recovery changes your body? Will you ever be able to enjoy life if it does? We share our own experiences of challenging these fears, why recovery isn't about feeling ready first, and how your thinking gradually shifts as you keep choosing recovery-aligned actions.Topics covered:The mental load of constantly balancing foodBreaking the cycle of planning, compensating and "earning" foodWhy recovery often feels harder before it gets easierHow repeated exposure helps rewire your brain over timeFear of body changes and why it doesn't last foreverHow your values and life gradually become bigger than your bodyWhy you don't need certainty to begin recoveryFor more information or to join the Rewired Community: www.rewiredinaction.comConnect with us:Meg: Instagram: @megsy_recovery YouTube: Megsy Recovery TikTok: megsy recoverySafia: Instagram: @safia_edrecoverycoach Email: [email protected] Website: www.safiaed.comEm (copywriter & editor): Instagram: @em_schoneTallulah Self (podcast editor): Instagram: @tallulahselfDisclaimerPlease keep in mind we're not medical professionals, and the podcast content reflects our own experiences and opinions, as well as that of our guests, so it shouldn't be taken as medical advice.
