Navigating Weight Gain

In today’s episode, we’re exploring the emotional terrain of weight gain in eating disorder recovery. While not everyone experiences weight restoration as part of their healing process, it’s often an unavoidable and important aspect of recovery — and can equally bring up a lot of challenging feelings for many people.

We both had very different reactions to regaining weight and letting go of weight suppression — even though, having committed to the process, we found ourselves at the same point in the end: freedom around food and our bodies.

It’s raw, real, and hopefully a reminder that you’re not alone in this part of the journey.

Topics covered:

- The ambivalent feelings we had in letting go of old clothes

- The strength (or blind faith!) it takes to keep going week after week

- The strategies that helped us stay grounded

- Reframing how you look at photos

- Releasing rigid targets
