Episode 63 - Extreme Hunger, Fear and Fatness with Julia and Victoria

Victoria and Julia answered a variety of questions from listeners about eating disorder recovery. Some of the main topics covered included: - Recognising recovery highs and lows, and how the lows are part of the process towards freedom - Dealing with compulsive movement and hunger cues like obsessive thoughts about food - Honouring extreme mental and physical hunger, even if it feels like bingeing - How to rebuild a social life in recovery while navigating diet culture conversations - The importance of dealing with the root causes of the eating disorder for full recovery - Adapting recovery to accommodate GI issues or other health conditions   - Determining how much food is enough when hunger cues are absent - Fighting urges to relapse into old habits when clothes don't fit after weight gain - Not delaying taking action towards recovery because there will never be a "perfect" time Overall, they emphasised that feelings of discomfort are inevitable but temporary in recovery. Consistent action, not avoidance of difficult feelings, is required for lasting change. They encouraged reaching out for professional support to guide the recovery process in a personalised way.
