Struggling with the urge to restrict food, skip a meal, or compensate for eating? This eating disorder recovery message offers support to help you navigate those difficult moments.
This is for when the eating disorder is telling you that restricting will make you feel safer, calmer, or more in control.
If you’re struggling with food restriction, calorie restriction, meal skipping, or compensatory behaviours in anorexia recovery, this is your reminder that the urge to restrict does NOT mean you need to act on it.
The discomfort and food guilt you feel after eating does NOT mean you have done something wrong. And you don't have to wait until the urge disappears before choosing recovery.
This video is designed for anyone seeking guidance and encouragement during their healing journey. This video offers practical eating disorder recovery support for those moments when restricting feels incredibly tempting, but you know that recovery requires you to embrace opposite action.
Recovery isn't about never having the urge to restrict again. It's about learning that you can experience that urge without letting it make your decisions for you.
For anyone currently navigating weight restoration, body image struggles, eating disorder recovery, or fear of gaining weight, I hope this gives you somewhere to turn when those thoughts get loud.
