The Messy Middle of Recovery

Everyone talks about the beginning of recovery and the freedom that’s supposed to come later. Nobody really talks about the middle. The part where you’re eating, gaining weight, doing everything you’re supposed to do, but still struggling. The part where your body feels unfamiliar, your clothes fit differently, your confidence feels gone, and you’re trying not to panic every time you catch your reflection.In this episode, I’m talking about the messy middle of eating disorder recovery—the stage where you’re no longer actively sick, but you don’t quite feel recovered either. We’ll talk about weight restoration, body image, extreme hunger, fluid retention, identity loss, comparison, and what it’s like to keep showing up when recovery feels harder than anyone prepared you for.If you’re in that uncomfortable in-between phase where you feel stuck, frustrated, scared, or alone, this episode is for you. Because the messy middle is real, and it’s something more people need to talk about.TikTok- https://www.tiktok.com/@abbiesjourney1?_r=1&_t=ZT-96t3cOE9Dsj
