#69: The honeymoon phase & “you have to gain weight anyway”

Recovering with Danie | Eating Disorder Recovery Podcast - A podcast by Danie van Kay | Licensed eating disorder recovery coach - Mondays

So, you start doing what you've been scared of this entire time: Recovery. And as it turns out, it's not as scary as you thought it would be, maybe you even find yourself enjoying it! Many people with an eating disorder will wonder if this is 'weird', or whether they maybe never even had an eating disorder to begin with. After all, aren't you supposed to spend recovery crying/screaming/kicking? Not at all. In today's episode, Danie discusses the phenomenon of the honeymoon phase in recovery, as well as the issue with using the fact that 'you have to gain weight anyway' as a reason for eating. Because you're allowed to eat regardless of whether you have to gain weight. So tune in to find out how you can reframe those thoughts! My new program, The Booster Intensive, is starting soon! Besides this program, I've got some other programs as well. If you are interested in working with me, feel free to take a look at my website and sign-up or contact me.
