Recovering with Danie | Eating Disorder Recovery Podcast Danie van Kay | Licensed eating disorder recovery coach

People around you may want you to recover, and maybe part of you wants to as well. Yet somehow, those around us can sometimes enable our eating disorders as well, even if they have the best intentions. Sometimes, making recovery more comfortable for someone who is struggling, can actually prevent certain parts of the eating disorder to be challenged. So how and why does that happen? What behavior may feel or seem good, but - in my eyes - is actually harmful, and what could you do instead? Tune in to find out, and don't be afraid to send this episode to those around you!

My guide just launched! Do you feel like you need more help recovering from your eating disorder?

This week's episode is all about gastro-intestinal issues and chronic illness in recovery. As most of you probably know, I suffer from chronic Lyme's disease (and did so during my recovery as well), so I know a fair bit about chronic illness and recovery. However, even if you don't have any underlying health issues, you most likely will experience some physical discomfort during your recovery. I know all too well how disheartening it can be when you're trying to treat your body well, and it still hurts/hurts worse. Or how it can feel like your eating disorder actually was healthier when symptoms flare up during recovery. BUT I also know first-hand how physical discomfort/chronic illness can be a motivation/reason to recover. If you're wanting to break free from your eating disorder, but are struggling to cope with the physical discomfort during recovery, this episode is for you!

We've hit the 100th episode! This one is all about exercise and eating disorders. Exercise can be healthy and is often promoted as part of a healthy lifestyle, but if you find yourself getting defensive when people question your relationship to it... That may be a sign that right now, exercise is not that healthy for you. How do you find out whether your love for exercise or your desire to move your body comes from actual enjoyment or from your eating disorder? And does it matter when you're in recovery? Tune in to find out!

Eating disorders may not be about weight, and do not necessarily lead to weight loss, but weight-gain in recovery is pretty much inevitable, because it's necessary. I can hear the wheels of your eating disorder churning at that comment, producing words like "bad" and "unhealthy", but guess what... it is neither of those things. Today's episode is all about why it isn't bad or unhealthy and in fact, pretty much the opposite. So if you find yourself thinking "help, I don't want to gain weight", tune in to today's episode!

When you've struggled with an eating disorder, your idea of how much food your body needs may get a little bit distorted. Between restriction, food guilt, and diet culture, determining how many calories you actually need, can be incredibly hard. And those who experience extreme hunger often exclaim "surely I don't need to do that much catching up?!". Spoiler alert: You do. In today's episode I'll talk about how you know how much you need, why I can't tell you how much you need (and why diet culture can't either!), and why either way you don't need to count them.
