7 strategies to deal with the 'upper limit' problem surrounding calories, weight, exercise & more. If you find it impossible to restore weight past a certain number, increase your intake above a certain number of calories, or overcome obsessive step counting, this episode is for you!

Limiting yourself to 'safe' numbers can hold you back in recovery from anorexia. Sticking to minimums will keep you trapped! Clinging to disordered (and arbitrary) numbers surrounding weight, food, and exercise will keep you suffering. In today's episode I share how I managed to overcome this type of perfectionism and rigidity.

Overview...

For the first 20 mins (roughly) i talk about:

• why this happens
• why it's a problem
• my own experience

The rest of the episode i present the 7 methods for overcoming this mental barrier surrounding numbers...

1. Remove counting methods
2. Journal about the underlying fears
3. Understand that you get to set the bar
4. Journal exercise #2 -Worst case scenario planning
5. Make it deliberate
6. Visualisation + nervous system control
7. Reassure yourself/ reminders
