In this week's episode I discuss whether or not someone has to believe full recovery is possible for them in order to recover, and how the eating disorder will try and latch onto doubt to keep you stuck.
Where does the line go between Orthorexia and healthy eating? How do you know if you simply enjoy being active, or are engaging in disordered movement? What does 'healthy' even mean? In this episode I discuss the difference between someone caring about their health versus someone having an eating disorder, and how the eating disorder will try to camouflage unhealthy behaviours as healthy.
