Posted @withregram • @drmariannemiller What if I told you that your eating disorder protected you? I might get some scoffs, and I get it. It sounds absurd to view it that way. But when it comes to traumatic experiences, especially in childhood, your eating disorder might’ve been a protective measure. It was there to save you from the hurt you may have experienced. Of course, just because it protected us once, does not mean it still does now. If you want to learn more about childhood trauma and eating disorders, click the link in my bio to listen to the most recent episode of my podcast!

Last week I woke up sobbing from a nightmare where I was a decade in the past. I don’t get nightmares frequently anymore; they’re fairly rare today having gone through trauma therapies of CBT and EMDR. Being half asleep though, it was difficult to snap back into reality and apply coping. I truly felt like I was a teenager again and like I had no hope. It took some time to ground myself. Some great resources my therapists have provided me over the years for grounding exercises include telling myself I am safe, speaking my name to myself, and even reminding myself of the year: 2024. My therapist listened to me with care as I shared with her that I continued to sob for my past self (which felt like the present) and was unable to fully wake up or free myself from the distress. I was helplessly stuck. She offered a suggestion of placing a calendar next to my bed with the date and year so once I wake up, I can turn over and face reality: that today I am well, that today I am supported, that today I feel loved, that today I love and appreciate who I am, and most importantly, that today I have hope. It can help to place our trust into others and work to find solutions. Anyone from friends and family to therapists can offer such unique healings so we can feel better in time. Therapy should be more accessible as it’s so helpful to have someone carefully unwinding our troubles and placing them neatly back in our minds so we can better care for ourselves.

Shame can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to let it overpower you. As someone who’s dealt with shame in her eating disorder and eating disorder recovery, I know first-hand the struggles that come with carrying something heavy within you. But I didn’t back down, so neither should you. Today, I’m sharing six ways you can stare down shame while in your eating disorder recovery. Don’t let shame take the upper hand. You have power, too. I take a deeper dive into these six tips in my podcast episode.

🙋🏼‍♂️I'll confess I was at that position thinking if I knew what I needed to do, I could do it myself too, forgetting it was a simplified version of their recovery stories. The ED recovery stories online are so inspirational and motivational and a lot of ED warriors would also share what they have done during the recovery journey. 💚 However, I was so overwhelmed and struggling to move forward every day when I started my own recovery. 😰 That's when I learned that it is more than knowing WHAT to do, but HOW to do it, WHY this works and the MENTAL RESILIENCE it requires. 🦾 That's why SUPPORT🦾 is so important during the journey, it has allowed my clients to 🛣️ have a clear roadmap moving forward 💨 heal much quicker 🌼 have someone provide unconditional positive regard for their journey 👣 conquer the giant mountain without noticing how hard it is because what it takes is one step at a time 🚧 deal with obstacles and setbacks in confidence 🔄 not think they need to restart every time they have binged 💁🏻‍♀️ feel hopeful and confident about their future binge-free life. It took me 5 years to recover and more years of learning and practice to figure out.... 🏔️ a smoother path to the mountaintop 👣 where to place each stepping stone 💡 and the solutions to all obstacles you will face sooner or later so that my clients could fast-track their recovery without spending years in back-and-forth trialling and error. 😣 If you are struggling with binge eating, feeling out of control around food, guilty and shameful about what and how much you eat 😢..... Please reach out to trained professionals for support. 🎗️ If you are interested in working with me or learning more about how my 7️⃣-step binge-free formula which consistently leads my clients to reclaim their fullest life ☀️....

What’s your summer destination? ☀️ Trips can be fun—new places, exciting activities, beautiful sights! 🙌 But I also understand how difficult going on vacation can be, especially if you’re someone in an eating disorder recovery. We lose that structure we’ve been leaning on during recovery, and it can be difficult to imitate it on vacation. Still, there are ways to approach it. Today, we’re sharing a few tips you can use to manage your eating disorder recovery when you’re out and about, exploring new places, and getting some relaxation! Find this helpful?

¿Cuántas veces te has repetido está frase? ¿Cuántas veces has expresado este temor a los profesionales que te tratan? Recuerdo que la primera vez que me enviaron a la psicóloga del colegio y me dijo que lo que me pasaba tenía un nombre y era anorexia. Además de decirle que no, que yo no tenía "eso". Tenía en mi mente la imagen de una chica famosa que había pasado por un TCA y que después de un tiempo y haber recuperado peso, la prensa decía cosas cómo "el efecto yo-yo de X tras haberse recuperado de su TCA" o "tras su TCA, X ahora luce con orgullo sus kilitos de más". Así que, le dije a la psicóloga del colegio que no podía comer más cantidad, porque en mi cabeza recuperarse de un TCA era acabar teniendo un sobrepeso, sí o sí y claro eso era lo último que quería. Recuerdo que ella me planteó que qué garantías tenía de que eso fuese así, que sí podía pasar, pero que recuperarse de un TCA no implicaba acabar en un sobrepeso siempre (cómo yo creía). Nunca me dijo que no fuese a engordar, simplemente me dijo que eso no tenía porque ser necesariamente así siempre. Después de unos años cuando la cosa se puso realmente seria y tenía un infrapeso que comprometía mi salud, empecé con otra psicóloga. Ahí sí o sí, tenía que recuperar peso, porque mi cuerpo no era el de una persona sana. Yo ahí ya era más consciente de mi problema, pero aún así le repetía una y otra vez a mi psicóloga que me quería recuperar pero NO quería engordar. (Que al final no era engordar, era recuperar un peso que nunca debí perder) Recuerdo que entonces mi psicóloga me hizo ser más consciente de lo que estaba haciendo: "¿Te estás escuchando lo que estás diciendo? Quizás no quieres recuperarte de verdad, porque no puedes recuperarte poniendo condiciones." Engordar era mi mayor preocupación, así que seguía bajando peso para cuando tuviese que recuperarlo tener un margen y quedarme en un peso "razonable" según mi enfermedad. Al final acabé aceptando (después de mucho tiempo), que mi peso iba a aumentar porque mi cuerpo así lo necesitaba para funcionar. Pero supliqué que me supervisaran y ayudaran a quedarme en mi peso. Me aterraba subir "de más". Sigo ⬇️⬇️⬇️

I blamed myself a lot. I blamed myself for not liking how I looked. I blamed myself for comparing my body to other people’s. I blamed myself for obsessing over my weight and the number on the measuring tape. One thing I learned in recovery, however, is that it’s not my fault. It’s never my fault. Society is what leads you to these body image issues. It’s society’s voice—diet culture’s voice—telling you to change yourself, that you’re not enough. The cruel, critical voices in your head? That’s society. Do you agree with me on this?

I was once where you are right now. I was a sensitive and anxious kid, yet strangely confident. Throughout childhood I developed rituals to deal with anxiety. During teenage years I converted my obsessions onto my body and food. This combination formed a perfect canvas upon which to work out my distress. I spent my 20s and 30’s denying the truth and living a dual existence fuelled by shame and secrecy. Thankfully, I fell apart. What a relief! My recovery began. I had some great support and some not so great. I built resilience and learnt new ways to live. I channeled my energy, creatively and finally, I got it. I understood that this energetic life force used in the right ways would set me free. Those who have been before have passed the techniques described in the Creative Recovery Accelerator™ onto me. It is my greatest pleasure to pass them onto you – may we all be at peace and free from suffering. The CRA™ will support and guide you through ten key components that are essential to your recovery.

Es normal que tu vientre y estómago se hinchen por mil cosas, incluso a lo largo de un mismo día. Es normal que tu vientre no esté totalmente plano, tenemos órganos dentro que cubrir. Es normal que al sentarte se formen rollitos en tu barriga. Sé que puede llegar a resultar muy incómodo y molesto y que te gustaría que no fuese así, pero ES. Sé que se acerca una época complicada y que cuesta verte más expuesta. Sé que si por ti fuera te pasarías el verano en sudadera, pero... ¿Hasta cuándo vas a seguir procrastrinando LA VIDA? Soy consciente de que los mensajes que recibimos por parte de la sociedad no nos lo ponen fácil. Qué "la operación bikini", el "hay que ponerse a punto para el verano" "necesito adelgazar para lucir bien en la playa"... No ayudan, aunque sean mensajes super normalizados e interiorizados. Pero de verdad, te lo dice alguien a quien tampoco le gusta su cuerpo, alguien a quien le está costando aceptar sus cambios... No esperes a tener un cuerpo determinado para hacer ese plan que te encantaría hacer, para comer eso que realmente te apetece...para VIVIR. Tu cuerpo ya es perfecto tal y cómo es, por el mero hecho de permitirte funcionar correctamente y darte la oportunidad de vivir. Cuídalo pero desde el cariño, cuídalo para que esté sano y te dure muchos años. Pero no lo "cuides", con el único objetivo de cambiarlo. Porque aunque trates de engañarte, eso no es cuidarlo, eso no es cuidarte. Come ese helado, ve a la piscina, a la playa o al campo, disfruta de esa barbacoa, de esa comida con familiares o amigos, ponte ese bikini que tanto te gusta o si no te sientes cómoda y quieres ponértelo un poquito más fácil ponte un bañador, pero no te limites. Ponte manga corta, usa vestidos o pantalones cortos... no te asfixies de calor por cómo crees que se ve tu cuerpo. Créeme nadie le presta tanta atención a tu cuerpo, cómo tú. No hay nada de malo en él. Ni la celulitis, ni los pliegues de tu tripa, ni tu estómago aunque esté hinchado o las posibles cicatrices que puedas tener... No hay nada de malo en él, no necesitas esconderlo. Los cuerpos cambian constantemente. Tu valor reside en quién eres y no en cómo se ve tu cuerpo.

I like to think of the phrase “the best view comes after the hardest climb” In other words, the journey won’t always be easy.

I didn’t achieve body liberation right away. It took months—years, even—before I reached body liberation. It wasn’t easy trying to challenge (and dismantle) all these beliefs and expectations society had over people’s bodies, including my own. I knew the journey to body liberation was going to be long and rough, so I started small: I looked back and reflected. 💭 I looked back and asked myself, “What were some past messages I had about my body?” Insert thoughts like my body not being good enough or losing weight to be loved. After that, I reflected: Where did these messages come from? Whose voice or voices do I hear? How did these messages affect how I viewed my body? And how did I feel about my body before these messages showed up? Mulling over these thoughts allowed me to understand how society and diet culture are what the voices in my head were, not my own. I knew then the next step was to break free from them.

She’s writing… *hint*: the formerly quiet have a lot to say

Lo reconozco, soy una persona tremendamente cuadriculada. Me cuesta muchísimo fluir (es algo que tengo que trabajar.) Soy 0 flexible con planes, horarios... Necesito tenerlo todo controlado. Saber qué, cómo y cuándo. Mi mente funciona cómo una tabla de Excel y salirme de esa tabla me genera mucho malestar y ansiedad. Sí, soy ese tipo de persona que hace listas interminables para absolutamente todo. Ese tipo de persona que necesita comer o irse a dormir siempre a la misma hora. Y si algo "trastoca" esos horarios, me siento molesta y me vuelvo irritable, aunque trate de que no se me note demasiado. (Los demás no tienen porqué pagar el funcionar de mi mente) No me gusta que me cambien los planes que tenía previstos para ese día, porque siento que se me trastoca toda la semana. Y se me descuadra esa "tabla de Excel". Me cuesta muchísimo improvisar, necesito tenerlo todo más o menos planificado. También me cuesta aceptar los imprevistos y tolero fatal la incertidumbre (Lo sé, lo tengo complicado porque así es la vida) Necesito saber qué voy a comer durante todo el día y si es con un día de antelación, mejor. Necesito comer siempre a las mismas horas (las que mi mente considera que son las correctas), si no de forma inconsciente se me tuerce bastante el día. Soy tremendamente puntual. Me aterra la idea de llegar tarde a cualquier parte, así que a veces puedo llegar incluso media hora antes. Prefiero tener que esperarme a hacer esperar a alguien. Soy extremadamente correcta y me cuesta saltarme las normas, escritas o no, por "tontas" que parezcan. Ya que siento que de hacerlo estoy fallando a alguien. Necesito saber si voy a quedarme en casa o salir a la calle, para así poder organizarme. Me gustaría poder fluir más, porque al final la necesidad y la obsesión por tenerlo todo planificado y por consiguiente "controlado", sólo me hace daño. Ya que ante cualquier cambio o imprevisto, me frustro y no logro disfrutar. Y sí, esto muchas veces tiene una relación directa con el TCA. Cuando sientes que por más que lo intentes, hay cosas que no dependen de ti y escapan a tu control, buscas otra cosa que crees poder controlar (en este caso la comida).

🌟 Understanding Triggers 🌟 Embarking on the path to recovery means understanding the nuances of triggers—those moments or situations that ignite intense emotions or behaviors. Triggers vary from person to person, but some common ones include stressors like deadlines or conflicts, media messages that perpetuate unrealistic body standards, and social settings that evoke feelings of inadequacy or anxiety. But fear not, we're armed with tools to navigate these triggers. Through mindfulness exercises, we can ground ourselves in the present moment, shielding against the onslaught of stress. With media literacy skills, we can critically evaluate and challenge harmful narratives, reclaiming our sense of self-worth. And in social settings, setting boundaries and seeking support can provide a safety net, allowing us to engage with confidence and authenticity. These tools aren't just theoretical—they're practical strategies designed to empower you in your journey. By incorporating them into your daily routine, you can build resilience, foster self-awareness, and reclaim control over your narrative. Remember, recovery is a journey, and you don't have to travel it alone. The Eating Disorder Recovery Companion offers a wealth of resources, tailored to help you navigate your triggers and chart a course towards healing. Together, let's empower ourselves with knowledge and tools to embrace a brighter, healthier future. 💖 #EDRecovery #UnderstandingTriggers #SelfHelp #MentalHealth #EDwarriors #RecoveryJourney #edawareness

Fixed it! Eff diet culture. Your worth transcends what you look like.

I met Elisabetta in a Roman café. She laughed but was stressed, crying about her illness and wanting to rebuild her life with someone who had left her. We met later near her home, where she drew to express her emotions, saying her art was her voice when words failed. 📸 Leica Q + Summilux 28mm f1.7 Asph #leica #documentaryphotography #EDWarriors #photojournalism

Brené Brown says in her book, The Gifts of Imperfection: “As a recovering perfectionist and an aspiring good-enoughist, I’ve found it extremely helpful to bust some of the myths about perfectionism so that we can develop a definition that accurately captures what it is and what it does to our lives. Perfectionism is not the same thing as striving to be your best. Perfectionism is not about healthy achievement and growth. Perfectionism is the belief that if we live perfect, look perfect, and act perfect, we can minimize or avoid the pain of blame, judgment, and shame. It’s a shield. Perfectionism is a twenty-ton shield that we lug around thinking it will protect us when, in fact, it’s the thing that’s really preventing us from taking flight. Perfectionism is not self-improvement. Perfectionism is, at its core, about trying to earn approval and acceptance. Most perfectionists were raised being praised for achievement and performance (grades, manners, rule-following, people-pleasing, appearance, sports). Somewhere along the way, we adopt this dangerous and debilitating belief system: I am what I accomplish and how well I accomplish it. Please. Perform. Perfect. Healthy striving is self-focused—How can I improve? Perfectionism is other-focused—What will they think?” So how does being a perfectionist show up in your life? In your recovery? 🤔 What does it mean or look like to put down that twenty-ton shield and allow yourself to aspire to be a “good-enoughist”?💗✨ #somethingtothinkabout #goodquestion #perfectionist #aspiring #edrecoverycoach #edrecovery #edwarriors #wakeforestnc #durhamnc #raleighnc #rtp #northcarolinaliving #carync #goodenough #iamenough #morethananumber #dietculture

👇👇👇 Social media can be amazing! It connects us, inspires us, and even offers valuable information. 👉But let's be honest, it can also be a major source of confusion. Remember, that perfectly curated feed doesn't always reflect reality, especially when it comes to health advice. So, how do you sort through the social media noise and find reliable information? Here are 3 easy tips ⤵️ 1️⃣See a post promising rapid weight loss or a "magic bullet" solution? Big red flag! Sustainable health improvements take time, effort, and personalized strategies, not a quick fix in a bottle. 2️⃣Who's behind the information? Look for qualified professionals, who share evidence-based advice. For nutrition specifically, prioritize content from registered dietitians. They hold advanced degrees and undergo rigorous training to translate scientific research into practical, personalized guidance for your unique needs. 3️⃣Dig deeper for facts. If a post sparks your interest, dig deeper for facts. Ask yourself, "What does the latest scientific research say about this topic?" Websites ending in .org or .gov are generally reliable sources of science-backed information. Still unsure? My DMs are always open to answer your questions 🙌 What’s one piece of information you always see online that you feel it’s sus? 👀 Let me know in the comments! - Follow @musiccitynutritionandwellness for more inspiration and guidance with food freedom & gut health.

Here’s a gentle reminder that diet culture handpicks what is considered the “standard” body type. In other words, it’s fueled by anti-fat bias, toxic food beliefs, and the idolization of the “thin ideal.” So we can’t blame you if not fitting the “standard” can feel upsetting. Diet culture wants us to feel that way. But we’re not backing down without a fight. 💥 Here are a few tips to overcome your negative body image, and a few more below. 👉 Unfollow accounts that make you feel bad about yourself. 👉 Do something that makes you happy. 👉 Go outside. We’re not letting diet culture win anymore. Find this helpful?

Ask yourself these questions: - How do you imagine food freedom to feel? - What do you wish your relationship with food looked like? - How can you take steps toward food freedom right now?

If you know someone who is in recovery from an ED or you know someone who is still in the thick of it, please be aware of your words. Commenting on other people's bodies, portion size or negatively commenting on your own body can be a trigger for people suffering with an ED. Get educated. Change your thinking.

El martes tuve sesión con mi psicóloga, no voy a hablar sobre los temas que tratamos, pero sí puedo decir que fue una sesión intensa a la par que productiva. No fue una sesión fácil, porque la terapia al igual que la vida no siempre es fácil. Pero sí fue una sesión necesaria, pues la incomodidad al final es el motor principal del cambio y lo que nos muestra que necesitamos movernos. En ocasiones nos empeñamos en encerrarnos en una especie de burbuja y miramos la vida y la realidad desde ahí. Pero vemos sólo una parte de esa realidad o la vemos distorsionada, cómo borrosa... Viendo pero sin querer ver ciertas cosas y mucho menos enfrentarlas. Desde esa burbuja evitamos muchas cosas y procrastrinamos la toma de decisiones, que por otra parte, aunque nos tapemos los ojos para no ver, son necesarias. Cuando alguien desde fuera de esa burbuja nos confronta y nos muestra la realidad (que sabemos pero que tratamos de negarnos), es cómo que esa burbuja en la que nos resguardábamos, "se pincha". Y es entonces cuando esa realidad que veías, pero borrosa, se vuelve de pronto más nítida. Ahí es dónde te das cuenta de que toca tomar acción, tomar decisiones, hacer cambios y mover ficha. "No esperes resultados diferentes haciendo lo mismo." ¿Da vértigo? Mucho... Pero también es necesario. 👣

If it wasn’t clear enough, let me say it again. ⬇️ It’s never okay to comment on someone’s weight. No more “Wow, did you lose weight? You look great.” No more “You look a little bigger than when I last saw you.” No more “Did you start a new diet?” Consider this: we’re all on different paths when it comes to weight. Some are gaining, some are maintaining, and some are losing. But the crucial point is, we don’t know the intricate story behind it. Your weight comments could be triggering and reinforce the idea in someone’s mind that our appearance and size hold high value to our worth and identity (when they don’t). So, instead of commenting on someone’s weight, ask them how they are. What hobbies have they been getting into? What’s the most recent movie or book they’ve enjoyed?

Save this for when you need to remember! ✨ Your weight does NOT define your worth! It can’t measure how much you’re loved. It can’t measure how much joy you bring to your friends when you laugh with them. It can’t measure how much your partner and children and fur babies value you. It can’t measure how much of an asset you are at your place of employment. What it does measure is your gravitational force on the earth…. *Crickets* 🦗😳 Whoop-tea-do!🙄 Can we saying BOOORRRRING!!! So if you gain or lose X amount...you’re either X more or less gravitational force on earth.🌎 Is that what we’re fighting our bodies so much on?! Yikes!!!! 😬 If you’re interested in learning more about how coaching can help stop the obsessing about a number on the scale, please visit the link in my bio to schedule a free discovery call! . . . #anorexianervosarecovery #bulimiarecovery #bingeeatingrecovery #arfidrecovery #edwarriors #edsurvivor #weightloss #weightgainjourney #weightgain #gainingweight #losingweight #weightrestoration #weightrestored #recoveryjourney #ccicoaching #eatingdisorderrecovery #eatingdisorderrecoverycoach #yourweightisnotyourworth #yourweightdoesntdefineyou #morethananumber #morethanabody #beyoutiful #raleighnc #dietculturebullshit #dietculture #durhamnc #carync #chapelhillnc #youngsvillenc #wakeforestnc

🌤️🏃🏼‍♀️🥣 starting my journey with running :) -> the best activity is the one you do with pleasure☺️ and always remember to eat after workout! it is important for muscle gain, recovery, and performance. simple post-workout snack: cottage cheese, dates, cashews, mango, cereals

When you are healing and slowly coming out of fight, flight or freeze, some common symptoms are exhaustion and fatigue. If you can imagine that your entire body has been in a spasm, every muscle taught and stretched. Now, you are safe and your body is starting to relax. The 'spasms' starting to ease. Your body unknotting itself. All that emotional, mental and physical tension releasing. In order to allow that to happen, your body needs rest. Deep rest. So, no, you don't have to push through it. You need to rest. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthsupport #mentalhealthwarrior #mentalhealthally #anxietyrecovery #emotionalhealing #soulgrowth #depression #healingprocess #healingjourney #recoveryjourney #recoverywarrior #edwarrior #edwarriors #comehealwithus #traumahealing #traumarecovery #exhaustion

Exactly 5 years ago this month, my life had to start completely over. I was hospitalized for the final time for my mental health and was finally diagnosed with something I’ve struggled with since I was a teenager: bipolar disorder. My path was not straight, nor ideal. Immediately after discharging from the hospital, I had to find a job. I didn’t have the option to do out-patient care, which is typical for people to do step-down programs when exiting the hospital, like group and individual therapy five days a week, to slowly step down to twice a week, to then once a week. I had therapy once every few weeks, but my spirit was destroyed by the episode and I could barely talk. I also did not have a local resource or the financial resources. I wish I had a more gentle transition; it was abrupt. It’s sadly an opinion held by many: the mentality of “If I can do it, so can you”. I don’t believe in that. I paved much of my path on my own and with the support of family and friends, but it was not easy. I’ve maintained my health care job for 5 years and that same year, I re-entered college. I’m not an advocate though for “pushing through”. I’m absolutely an advocate for: we need better, more accessible mental health resources. We need more sustainable options for people to stay well. No one should feel forced to put their career above their mental health and no one should go without help. I’m a story of healing, even without every resource and resting place I needed and deserved back then. I did make it work and I’ve been steady for years now. However, I wanted better for younger Lex and I want better for you. I want better for all of us. I’m so proud of who I’ve become considering where I came from. At the same time, life can be brutally abrupt and unforgiving. We deserve gentleness.

You can eat however you want, whenever you want. Don’t let other people (or diet culture) tell you what you can and can’t do, what you can and can’t eat. This line of thinking is what causes strained relationships with food and body in the first place. Restrictions only lead to a brutal cycle of shame and guilt. So today and every day, you can eat however you want (even if diet culture disagrees). What are other “You can...” statements to add to this list?

Autobiography in Five Short Chapters 💗✨💙 I. I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in. I am lost. I am helpless. It isn’t my fault. It takes forever to find a way out. II. I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I still don’t see it. I fall in again. I can’t believe I am in the same place. It isn’t my fault. It still takes a long time to get out. III. I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see it there, I still fall in. It’s habit. It’s my fault. I know where I am. I get out immediately. IV. I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it. V. I walk down a different street.

A little bit of my journey. I wanted to write this out completely differently but I couldn’t figure out how to do so without being triggering.

Back in my eating disorder recovery, getting sick was a delicate situation. It would not only feel overwhelming, but also greatly impact how I ate or how I viewed my body. So for those who have gotten sick or are in pain during their eating disorder recovery, I feel you. Today, I’m sharing a few tips on how you can navigate sickness during recovery. I also talk about dealing with chronic pain (which I dealt with and continue to deal with!) during eating disorder recovery in my most recent podcast episode. How have you dealt with sickness during recovery?

What motivates you to move? When you decide you’ve had enough of the diet cycle and you want to start improving your body image, one of the most important ways to demonstrate love for your body is to shift the way you view working out. In a society where the thin ideal is idolized, some might say weight loss motivates you to move. But zeroing in on losing weight can harm your relationships—the one with your body, food, movement, and even yourself. Today, we’re sharing a few examples of how you can reframe old, unhelpful thoughts about exercise into new, positive thoughts.  Let’s move the attention away from our weight and instead focus on our overall wellbeing—the physical and the mental! Remember, as you practise this reframing skill, you are creating a new neural pathway in your brain that needs strengthening through repetition. So if it feels difficult at first, keep going because eventually those synaptic connections will become so strong that they replace your old automatic thoughts of weight loss and dieting.

I’m so sorry that people complimented you for your control. I’m so sorry that they said they wish they looked like you. I’m so sorry that people told you they wished they had your discipline I’m so sorry that people asked you “what’s your secrete” I’m so sorry that they didn’t understand the torment you were going through I’m so sorry that they didn’t know how out of control you really felt I’m so sorry that they didn’t know you needed their help but didn’t feel you could ask It’s a crazy world we live in. D!$ordered eating is becoming more and more normalized. Companies are setting the trap and people are walking right into it and can’t find their way out. And I’m so sorry that you had to experience any of this. I would be honored to join you on your recovery journey.

Post collaboratif avec @pauline.diet.bts ❤️ Pauline nous parle de son parcours avec les TCA avant d’entamer sa formation en BTS diététique. C’est toujours un plaisir de parler avec Pauline. De nature réservée mais très à l’écoute, je la sens plus apaisée qu’elle l’explique sur ce post, ce qui prouve toujours que le chemin en vaut la peine. Merci Pauline pour ton sérieux de ta collaboration, tu es une femme remplie de ressources, avec un compte vraiment top (je vous conseille d’aller y faire un tour 🤗), c’est un plaisir de papoter et de te suivre au quotidien. Ton histoire montre aussi que les soignants sont manifestement pas dans le « bon » soin certaines fois, bien sûr je ne généralise pas. Mais que tu as reçu un protocole qui t’as aidé à aller mieux 🙏🏻 Tu es une femme pleine de ressources, peut-être pas « aimée » à la maternelle, mais aimée aujourd’hui, j’en suis sûre ❤️ Et bravo pour tes études 🎊 N’hésitez pas à liker ❤️ pour soutenir mon travail et ceux des auteurs des posts de collaboration.

Last week my husband and I went on a trip to the mountains WITHOUT the kids!! 🥳 IYKYK It was LOVELY! But, the trip was FAR from perfect. Between a total vehicle breakdown/failure, major illness, thunderstorms at very inconvenient times and some other not so fun stuff, I truly began to question why we even bothered going on a trip. Then I began to remember what it’s like to recover. We picture this grand new life. But what’s a recovered life without trial and error? Tears? Feeling of defeat? Just like a wonderful vacation away. We hope for the best but life isn’t perfect. And neither is recovering. We must take the good with the bad. You can be happy to get away on vacation and sad things are not going to plan. You can feel good about feeling healthier and grief because you miss the way your body used to look. Recovering is messy. Life is messy. Don’t give up. Keep going! 💗✨💙 #marriedlifebelike #lifewithkids #iykyk #dontgiveup #recoveredlife #healinginnature #ccicoaching #eatingdisorderrecovery #eatingdisorderrecoverycoach #edwarriors #edsurvivor #clydenc #ncmountains #smokeymountains #raleighnc #durhamnc #wakeforestnc

Is everyone seated for the new Bridgerton season tomorrow? 💐 In case you missed all the buzz the last few weeks, this new Bridgerton season shines the spotlight on Penelope Featherington—a woman who is noticeably in a larger body (especially in comparison to the body types of female leads we often see in movies and TV). And if you’re up to date on all the Bridgerton seasons (and spin-offs), you know how saucy things can get. So, for someone in a larger body, seeing a character also in a larger body receive attention and admiration from suitors is a big win! We don’t often see enough people who look remotely like us in a leading role, much less a leading role in a romance trope. Stories like these bring us closer to body positivity. Seeing people in different body types take up roles once long reserved for people with a specific look brings society closer to body positivity. And I’m all here for it! [CAVEAT—I know that Penelope Featherington represents only one type of body that is larger than typical romance leads. I also know that having leading BIPOC fat women with even larger bodies is desperately needed.] Will you be tuning in to the latest Bridgerton season? Let me know through the poll! #bridgerton #bridgertonsonnetflix #bridgertons #bridgertonseries #bridgertoncast #penelopefeatherington #bodypositivity #bodypositive #proudtobeme #curvestyle #bodypos #bigandbeautiful #effyourbeautystandards #bodypositivitymovement #eatingdisorderrecovery #edsoldiers #eatingdisorderawareness #bingeeatingrecovery #bingeeatingdisorderrecovery #edwarrior #edwarriors #edfam #edsoldier #edrecovery #edfighter #edfamilyrecovery #edcommunity #edawareness #eatingdisordertherapist #eatingdisordertherapy

No te creas todo lo que ves en redes (aquí sólo se muestra un 5% de la realidad de cada persona). Ni te compares con lo que otros muestran que comen. Habrá personas que no muestren todo lo que coman, habrá otras que muestren sólo lo "saludable" que comen y omitan lo que consideran menos sano. Incluso habrá personas que subirán la foto y tal vez después ni siquiera se coman lo que aparece en la foto o que después lo vomiten, detrás de ese plato de comida puede que haya horas y horas de ejercicio... No sabemos la realidad que hay detrás de cada foto, las circunstancias de la persona que sube esa foto, ni sus intenciones. Yo en mi caso como lo que aparece en las primeras fotos y aunque a mí no me gusta categorizar alimentos, se considera más saludable. Pero a veces también como de lo que aparece en el resto de fotos aunque no lo muestre o lo muestre menos. Porque pienso que es importante el contexto y ambas cosas son saludables. Y cuando has pasado o estás pasando por un TCA, TODOS los alimentos son necesarios y saludables. Unos nos aportan más nutrientes y otros nos aportan a nivel mental. En el equilibrio está la clave. La comida es energía, son nutrientes, es físicamente necesaria... Pero la comida también es compartir momentos, es disfrute, vencer miedos, darse permiso a incorporar nuevos sabores, recuperar sabores casi olvidados por las restricciones anteriores... Darse permiso incondicional para comer y confiar en nuestro cuerpo, es necesario para que él vuelva a confiar en nosotros. Y en el caso de que existan "atracones", la única forma de frenarlos NO es querer controlarlos y evitarlos a toda costa... Para frenarlos NO hay que centrarse en el atracón, si no en la restricción que nos está llevando posteriormente a ese atracón. El EQUILIBRIO es la clave y no el prohibirse, evitar o demonizar ciertos alimentos, también. ✨❤️ #edfighter #edwarriors #ed #edfighters #edwarrior #edrecovery #eatingdisordersurvivor #eatingdisorderecovery #eatingdisorderawareness #eatindisorderrecovery #eatingdisordersupport #delostcasesale #tcarecovery #recovery #saludmental #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthrecovery #psicología #psicologia

Friends, I am TIRED. 😫 I am tired of people saying exercise—or any movement—should feel punishing, that it IS punishing. If movement feels punishing, I urge you to look inward and ask why it feels like that. What about movement is punishing to you? Because feeling like movement is punishing—especially punishing you for your body size—may mean that there’s a deeper wound around your relationship with exercise. Untainted, movement is not a chore, it’s a beautiful, joyous thing. It’s a celebration of our bodies and their incredible abilities. This Mental Health Awareness Month (and Mental Health Awareness Week for all our friends in the UK), let’s be reminded that movement can bring positivity into your life.  If you feel wounded when it comes to movement, get help by checking out my podcast episodes about movement and exercise. What’s your favorite way to move? Comment it down below! #movement #movementismedicine #bossbabemovement #joyfulmovement #findyourjoy #progressoverperfection #strengthisbeauty #slowingdown #exerciseisnotpunishment #nourishyourbody #seekjoy #funworkouts #eatingdisorderrecovery #edsoldiers #edrecovery #eatingdisorderawareness #bingeeatingrecovery #bingeeatingdisorderrecovery #edawareness #edwarrior #overeatersanonymous #anafighter #edwarriors #edfam #edsoldier #anarecovery #anorexiafighter #bedrecovery #edrecoveryfamily #bedrecoverywarrior

A customer said to me, “Happy Mother’s Day?!” in a sweet, questioning tone and I responded quickly without fully processing, “Thank you!” — I am a dog mom, after all!! 😅 I’m aware Mother’s Day can be a sensitive time for those who have lost their parent or who have a strained relationship with parents. It can also be sensitive for those with infertility issues or who have lost a child. You are still a loving giver in our eyes, no matter the loss. While I am a dog mom, I also relate to my inner child healing as I actively work on reparenting. Today is a nice day to remind myself of all the ways I care for myself and others in mothering ways. I think it’s totally ok to extend the love to ourselves, too. It’s involving work and self-care does not take a day off. I’m all about making things our own, so if today (or any holiday) is tough for you, know that you’re never alone and that there are entire communities who understand these intricacies of pains of the human experience. Take the time to take good care of you. If we weren’t nurtured the way we needed to be as children, we can provide that love and support to ourselves today. We can also lean on people who are maternal-like figures to us. You are wanted, loved, and appreciated for caring for yourself, your loved ones, and your pets — today and every day.

Un día tiene 24h, no permitas que un mal momento determine todo tu día. Si te levantas un poco "regu" o hay un mal momento esporádico en tu día, aún estás a tiempo de reconducirlo. Estás a tiempo de hacer de un día malo un día normal o incluso un buen día. Haz más de cosas que te gustan, de esas cosas que te hacen sentir bien. Valora hasta lo más pequeño: un paseo, un rayo de sol, una conversación, un capítulo de tu serie favorita, un ratito escuchando música, el agua resbalando por tu piel mientras te das una ducha con calma, el olor a café recién hecho, tu desayuno preferido, leer unas páginas de ese libro, escribir un rato, ese momento de sofá, cómo se ve el cielo o el atardecer que se dibuja en él, ver un capítulo de tu serie favorita o ver esa película que llevas tiempo esperando ver... Valora cuando estás bien, en lugar de estar pensando y temiendo a que todo se vuelva a torcer. La vida tiene sus cosas y sus momentos buenos y malos, pero si ahora estás bien, disfrútalo. No pienses en lo que puede o no puede pasar después. No te anticipes. Ocúpate en lugar de [pre]ocuparte antes de tiempo. Lo que tu mente te dice que va a pasar, no necesariamente tiene porqué ocurrir. Para esos pensamientos intrusivos y obsesivos. Escúchate porque es necesario pero si entras en bucle no te hagas demasiado caso. Lo que tu mente te hace creer que es la verdad absoluta, no tiene porqué serlo y ni siquiera tiene porqué ser real. Camina mirando hacia delante. Mira de vez en cuando hacia atrás, pero no demasiado, sólo para comprobar todo lo que ya has avanzado. Cada paso hacia delante por pequeño que sea, cuenta. Valóralo, valoraTE. #edfighter #edwarriors #ed #edrecovery #earingdisordersupport #eatingdisorderecovery #eatingdisorderawareness #eatindisorderrecovery #delostcasesale #tcarecovery #recovery #saludmental #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthrecovery #psicología #psicologia #crecimientopersonal

9 years ago if someone would of shown me the carousel of my life right now, I wouldn’t of believed them!!! I’m lost for words… Filling a room of just under 300 on a day that was momental to my recovery 9 years ago … what a privilege 🙌🏼 Thank you to all those who attended, sponsored, volunteered, donated, supported, and started the conversation with us. From tee off at 7am till the closing of our Sportsman Lunch at 5pm, THANK YOU! Thank you for being open to hear my story, hear our mission, and support us in helping those who need it the most. Watch this space as we continue to push for change, start the necessary conversation, and share what was a pivotal day for #thesecretburden

‼️DID YOU KNOW…there are NO harmful foods?! There is not one single food out there that is going to “make you fat”, “ruin you”, “make you balloon” etc etc etc But there IS harmful behaviors‼️ Eating one dessert, day in and day out, all the time…not a good behavior. Never eating a certain food because of a belief you hold of what it might cause to your body…also not a good behavior. If you wouldn’t eat just cookies…you also wouldn’t want to eat just broccoli. There is a time and place for ALL foods. They all provide us with different forms of different nutrients. Sometimes it’s more vitamins and minerals. Other times it contains higher levels of fat. Sometimes it provides joy and comfort. All of this is ok. All of this is good. 😊 This is why all humans need to consume a wide range of different foods from different food groups. *Disclaimer* if you have a known food allergy that would be considered harmful for YOU. But not necessarily another person. #ccicoaching #eatingdisorderrecovery #eatingdisorderrecoverycoach #allfoodsfit #noharmfulfood #dietculture #dietculturebeliefs #bodyacceptancejourney #notonemore #recoveredlife #edwarriors #edsupport #edrecovery #wakeforest #durhamnc #raleighnc #youngsvillenc #carync #chapelhillnc #rtp #ncliving
