I'm back after a short maternity break! In today’s episode, we’re getting into a question that brings up a lot of fear and confusion in recovery — when do I stop restoring weight… and how do I actually eat “normally” again?If you’ve hit a point where things feel a bit more stable but also a bit uncertain, you’re not alone. Maybe part of you wants to hold on. Maybe part of you is scared of overshooting. Or maybe you’re just not sure what “normal” even looks like anymore.In this episode, we’ll talk through why weight restoration isn’t a fixed number, how your body decides where it needs to be, and what shifting toward more flexible, normal eating actually involves. This isn’t about flipping a switch overnight. It’s about gradually building trust, consistency, and a relationship with food that doesn’t feel so controlled.We cover: Why there’s no clear “finish line” for weight restoration  What “normal eating” actually looks like in real life  How to move from structure to flexibility without slipping backEpisodes will likely be fortnightly moving forwards as I transition into motherhood. Let me know your thoughts!
