Food Paralysis

Food Paralysis Choosing what to eat can feel impossible when every option comes with dozens of competing rules, questions and "what ifs." In this episode of Rewired, we explore the experience of food paralysis, and why something as simple as picking a yoghurt, ordering from a menu or deciding on a snack can become completely overwhelming with an ED. We share our own experiences of getting stuck in supermarket aisles (endlessly weighing up every possible option) and explain why recovery can sometimes make this paralysis feel even stronger before it gets easier. We also talk through the tools that helped us break free from perfectionism — and make decisions based on recovery rather than fear. Topics covered: Why food paralysis happens Why recovery can make food choices feel harder The endless competing rules and variables Common food paralysis triggers Why trying to find the "perfect" choice keeps you stuck Planning ahead and reducing options Using commitment, mantras and soundbites to stay on track Letting go of perfection; embracing "good enough" Does it get better?

Comparison

Comparison It's not overstating to say that comparison affects almost every part of life with an eating disorder. It can creep in when you're with other people, eating, scrolling social media, looking back at old photos… even just walking into a room. And on the flip-side, comparison can make recovery feel harder, maybe pulling focus away from your own progress. Today’s episode is all about unpacking the comparison trap: how it keeps people stuck, and why trying to beat it only pulls you further into the ED cycle. We also share the tools that made the biggest difference in our own recoveries, alongside ideas we regularly discuss inside the Rewired Community, where comparison is one of the topics people ask us about most. Topics covered: Why comparison feels so convincing in an ED Comparing your body, food, movement, productivity, and your past self Fixating on one particular person The eating disorder's "filter" Looking to other people for permission Different bodies, different paths Staying in your own lane What really matters to you? Practical tools for responding to comparison in the moment How we've built the Rewired Community to reduce comparison rather than reinforce it For more information or to join the Rewired Community: www.rewiredinaction.com Connect with us: Meg Instagram: @megsy_recovery YouTube: Megsy Recovery TikTok: megsy recovery Safia Instagram: @safia_edrecoverycoach Email: hello@safiaed.com Website: https://www.safiaed.com Em (copywriter & editor) Instagram: @em_schone Tallulah Self (podcast editor) Instagram: @tallulahself Disclaimer We're not medical professionals, and the podcast content reflects our own experiences and opinions.

Heatwaves and ED Recovery

Heatwaves and ED Recovery Hot weather can throw up challenges that people don't always expect in recovery. Appetite might feel different, for one. Plus being more tired and irritable, or blaming your body for feeling uncomfortable (when actually, you're just too hot) against a backdrop of triggering media messages… All of these factors can make summer especially tough when you’re in eating disorder recovery. This week, we discuss the realities of recovery during the hotter months. Be that eating despite unreliable hunger cues, dealing with body image, navigating travel, or simply fielding unhelpful narratives online: we reflect on what we personally gained from letting go of those pressures, and how recovery can open the door to a very different experience of summer altogether. Topics covered: • Why heat can make recovery feel harder • Appetite changes, fatigue and food • Summer body culture and relapse thoughts • Body image when wearing less clothing • Feeling uncomfortable in your body vs feeling uncomfortable because you're hot • Heat, movement and compulsive exercise • Eating regularly when hunger cues feel different • Ice cream, BBQs, holidays, and seasonal food fears • Travel and disrupted routines • The nervous system impact of heat • Reclaiming summer from the eating disorder Upcoming workshop: Rewired Workshop: Taking Action A £2, 60-minute workshop exploring practical tools to help you move from intention to action in your eating disorder recovery.

10 Recovery Game-changers: Safia

10 Recovery Game-changers: Safia In this personal episode, Safia shares ten of the biggest game-changers from her own recovery. Some were practical, like getting rid of scales or buying clothes that fit her changing body. Others were mindset shifts: being more honest with the people around her, outing hidden rules, and staying focused on her own recovery to limit comparison. We also discuss why consistency mattered far more than motivation, along with some of the tools that helped recovery feel doable along the way. With that said, we’re proud to share our upcoming Rewired Workshop: Taking Action, to help you bridge the gap between wanting recovery and putting it into practice day to day.

Rigidity & Routine

Rigidity & Routine One of the things we see time and time again – both in ourselves and in the people we work with – is just how overwhelmingly rigid routines take over life when you’re struggling with an ED. With this in mind, this week, we’re exploring the many ways rigidity can show up in an eating disorder: safe foods, strict timings, movement routines, rituals, certainty-seeking, and the feeling that everything has to be done in a particular way. We look at why this happens, including the impact of starvation on the brain, and how even the most concrete rigidities can soften with adequate nourishment. Most importantly, we talk about the freedom that comes when life no longer has to revolve around rules, routines, and getting everything “right”. Topics covered: • What rigidity can look like in eating disorders • How starvation and energy deficit affect cognitive flexibility • Safe foods, food rules, brands, timings, and meal routines • Rigidity around movement and exercise • Certainty-seeking and needing things done a particular way • The role of personality, temperament, and neurodivergence • Why rigidity can feel safe even when it’s causing harm • Challenging rigidity in recovery • The concept of recovery momentum and neural pathways • The freedom that comes from expanding life beyond the eating disorder For more info or to sign up to the Rewired Community: https://rewiredinaction2.carrd.co/ Connect with us: Meg Instagram: @megsy_recovery YouTube: Megsy Recovery TikTok: megsy recovery Safia Instagram: @safia_edrecoverycoach Email: hello@safiaed.com Website: https://www.safiaed.com Em (copywriter & editor) Instagram: @em_schone Tallulah Self (podcast editor) Instagram: @tallulahself [DISCLAIMER] We’re not medical professionals, and the podcast content reflects our own experiences and opinions.

Orthorexia with Florence Gillet

Orthorexia with Florence Gillet For many people, orthorexia begins with a genuine wish to feel better, improve health, manage symptoms, or solve a problem. But when food rules become rigid and anxiety around eating grows, it can become difficult to see where self-care ends and obsession begins. This week, we’re joined by Florence Gillet, Certified Eating Psychology Coach and founder of Beyond Body Image. Florence shares her personal experience of developing orthorexia after changing her diet to improve her skin, and reflects on how behaviours that appeared healthy from the outside gradually became restrictive and all-consuming. We also explore the overlap between wellness culture and EDs — including the impact of elimination diets — and why rebuilding trust in your body can be the most health-affirming choice of all. Topics covered:  * Florence’s background and the work she does today • When self-care becomes rigidity and obsession • Spotting orthorexia red flags • The impact of restriction on hunger, fullness, and social eating • Letting go of food rules during recovery • Restriction in the name of gut health or clear skin • Challenging fears around inflammation, toxins, and "bad" foods • The role of black-and-white thinking in orthorexia • Considerations for healthcare professionals For more info or to sign up to the Rewired Community: https://rewiredinaction2.carrd.co/ Connect with us: Florence Gillet Instagram: @beyond.bodyimage Website: https://www.beyondbodyimage.com/about/ Meg Instagram: @megsy_recovery YouTube: Megsy Recovery TikTok: megsy recovery Safia Instagram: @safia_edrecoverycoach Email: hello@safiaed.com Website: https://www.safiaed.com Em (copywriter & editor) Instagram: @em_schone Tallulah Self (podcast editor) Instagram: @tallulahself [DISCLAIMER] We’re not medical professionals, and the podcast content reflects our own experiences and opinions, as well as that of our guests, so it shouldn’t be taken as medical advice.

Pregnancy & ED Recovery

Pregnancy & ED Recovery Eating disorders aside, pregnancy can bring up all sorts of feelings and challenges for people. However, in this episode, we talk about why this stage of life can feel particularly complex when your relationship with food, weight, and body has been difficult in the past. Drawing on our own experiences, we unpack some of the things that did, or can, feel hard: body changes, weight gain, medical appointments, food and movement advice, or just the uncertainty that comes with your body doing something you can’t fully control. We also look at how ED thoughts can resurface during pregnancy, alongside some practical tools and tips to combat them. And finally, we’ll be reflecting on how pregnancy can strengthen recovery — offering an opportunity to practise trust and self-advocacy — as well as modelling the relationship with food and body image you want for your child. Topics covered:  * Why pregnancy can feel triggering in ED recovery • Body changes, weight gain, and navigating medical weigh-ins • The fear of losing control over your body • Food rules, nutrition messaging and advice • Movement during pregnancy • Recognising signs that pregnancy may be triggering old patterns • Advocating for yourself with healthcare professionals • Recovery tools and tips • How becoming a parent can strengthen recovery motivation • Why struggling with triggers doesn’t mean recovery is “going wrong” For more info or to sign up to the Rewired Community: https://rewiredinaction2.carrd.co/ Connect with us: Meg Instagram: @megsy_recovery YouTube: Megsy Recovery TikTok: megsy recovery Safia Instagram: @safia_edrecoverycoach Email: hello@safiaed.com Website: https://www.safiaed.com Em (copywriter & editor) Instagram: @em_schone Tallulah Self (podcast editor) Instagram: @tallulahself [DISCLAIMER] We’re not medical professionals, and the podcast content reflects our own experiences and opinions.
