Comparison - Rewired

What this episode covers

Comparison It's not overstating to say that comparison affects almost every part of life with an eating disorder. It can creep in when you're with other people, eating, scrolling social media, looking back at old photos… even just walking into a room. And on the flip-side, comparison can make recovery feel harder, maybe pulling focus away from your own progress. Today’s episode is all about unpacking the comparison trap: how it keeps people stuck, and why trying to beat it only pulls you further into the ED cycle. We also share the tools that made the biggest difference in our own recoveries, alongside ideas we regularly discuss inside the Rewired Community, where comparison is one of the topics people ask us about most.Topics covered:Why comparison feels so convincing in an EDComparing your body, food, movement, productivity, and your past selfFixating on one particular personThe eating disorder's "filter"Looking to other people for permissionDifferent bodies, different pathsStaying in your own laneWhat really matters to you?Practical tools for responding to comparison in the momentHow we've built the Rewired Community to reduce comparison rather than reinforce itFor more information or to join the Rewired Community: www.rewiredinaction.com Connect with us:Meg Instagram: @megsy_recovery YouTube: Megsy Recovery TikTok: megsy recoverySafia Instagram: @safia_edrecoverycoach Email: [email protected] Website: https://www.safiaed.comEm (copywriter & editor) Instagram: @em_schoneTallulah Self (podcast editor) Instagram: @tallulahselfDisclaimerWe're not medical professionals, and the podcast content reflects our own experiences and opinions.
