Eating Disorder Rules and Conditions
In this episode of Rewired, we dive into the idea of “perfect conditions” in recovery (and why they’re anything but perfect).
We unpack the hidden rules and rituals that often creep in around food, time, and environment, sharing how these conditions kept us stuck. From clock-watching and cutlery to temperature and texture, we reflect on the emotional cost of needing things to be just right – and what helped us finally let go.
Most importantly, we talk about what life looks like now: imperfect, spontaneous, and connected.
Topics covered:
• Why eating disorders are not about hating food
• The problem with “perfect”
• Rituals, rules, and relationships
• What happens when things go wrong?
• Rigidity and its consequences
• What helped us: weight restoration and rule-breaking
• Letting go of control and choosing flexibility over fear
• What eating looks like now
• Challenging your own conditions
