-
- Alternative Health
In this podcast episode, Victoria discusses two questions she received related to the fear of weight gain in eating disorder recovery and the inability to stop craving sweet foods. She addresses several key aspects, including genetic predispositions to weight struggles, the difference between extreme hunger and bingeing behaviours, allowing yourself to truly honour cravings, and the importance of healing your relationship with your body and self during recovery.

Main Discussion Points:
- Factors early in life, like trauma and a mother's prenatal nutrition, that can influence weight and eating behaviors later on (timestamps: 00:05:26, 00:06:53)
- The difference between extreme hunger and bingeing in eating disorder recovery (timestamp: 00:11:51)
- Why we crave sweet foods when our bodies are malnourished or underfed (timestamp: 00:34:49)
- The concept of an "imaginary line" of calories that eating disorder thoughts latch onto, and why this restrictiveness prevents healing (timestamp: 00:29:45)
- Making peace with the unknown of where your body's set point weight will settle after recovery (timestamp: 00:16:46)
Key Quotes:
"You said that you felt addicted to food as a child. Now it's not possible to be addicted to food, but it is possible to feel addicted to food." (00:15:17)
"You say that you're allowing yourself to have these sweet foods, but you're only partially allowing. You're not fully allowing yourself. Right? You're partially allowing. And that's restriction just like moderation is." (00:33:41)
"Are you willing to do what it takes to live in freedom and natural nourishment? Which means allowing potential weight gain, of course, and then exploring all of what that means to you and healing from a holistic place." (00:37:19)
