Are you desperate for change but every time you venture to the edge of your comfort zone, panic ensues, and you retreat at speed?

The overwhelming fear is so paralysing for you that it feels dangerous and distinctly wrong to venture forward.

It’s understandable to be conflicted and ambivalent about change, as an eating disorder is a coping strategy.

In this episode, I explore how to heal the deeper roots so you can move beyond your comfort zone. I hope that you find it helpful.

In eating disorder recovery, you’ll be searching for the latest mindset hack or magic technique to miraculously propel you out of food obsession and into the land of peaceful eating.

You’re absorbing YouTube recovery content like it’s a full-time job and following the progress of inspiring recovery warriors on socials.

You might watch ‘What I Eat in a Day Content’ on repeat, in a search of the perfect meal plan, so that your body can recover in the ‘right way’.  The ideal recovery fantasy is a thing!

Perhaps you are fixated on healthy eating, bordering on orthorexia whilst searching for the plan that will transport you to recovery land, without having to embark on embracing your forbidden foods or anything that could contaminate your system.

Sometimes you can search for every possible solution without returning to some of the basic and fundamental recovery practices.

You’re metaphorically rearranging the skidding deckchairs on the sinking Titanic, rather than addressing the core issue that’s sinking you deeper into the sea.

It is the boring and unsexy work of regular eating in eating disorder recovery.

In this episode, I explore the importance of regular eating and how to practically put it into practice.
