The Never-Ending Path of Recovery

As with any relationship, your relationship with food can experience a varying range of highs and lows, especially for those recovering from an eating disorder. Some days might feel manageable while others feel like you’ve made zero progress.       In this episode, Deena describes the complexities of her relationship with food, the realities of recovery, and why it’s crucial to reach out for help when you need it most.   In this episode, you also hear:  Navigating guilt around food indulgences   Misconceptions about willpower   False relapses and encouragement for recovery       Must-listen moments:   [00:00:30] My relationship with food is obviously complicated. Even with all these years that have passed, there's days that I am just fine, can make it, eat it, move on with life. Other days there is a struggle.   [00:12:25] Changing my thoughts and actions was going to take time. And that's why I really believe in long term care.  [00:18:00] I want you to remember and I have to remind myself the best thing I can do when I get in those moments is try and pull myself out and reach out to somebody and say this is what I'm feeling.    Thank you for listening.
