The Middle Plateau in Recovery

Everyone talks about deciding to recover. Everyone talks about extreme hunger. But almost nobody talks about what happens when you’re months into recovery and still don’t feel like yourself.In this episode, I’m sharing the messy middle of eating disorder recovery, the part where the excitement wears off and you’re left navigating body image struggles, physical discomfort, grief, comparison, loneliness, and the fear that maybe recovery isn’t “working” fast enough. What do you do when your body is still changing, you don’t recognize yourself in the mirror, and you’re exhausted from waiting to feel better?This isn’t a before-and-after success story wrapped up with a perfect ending. It’s an honest conversation from someone who’s still in it. If you’ve ever wondered if you’re the only one struggling in the middle of recovery, this episode is for you. You are not alone in asking hard questions, grieving what you’ve lost, and trying to trust the process before you have proof of where it’s leading.
