    Appetite Loss After 'All In' Recovery

    In this episode I discuss dealing with a decrease in mental- and physical hunger during or after going 'all in'. I explain why appetite may drop significantly after experiencing extreme hunger, how to navigate this without relapsing, and how appetite tends to manifest long- and short term in /after 'all in' recovery. I also discuss weight loss after 'all in', and the difference between overshot tapering off versus a relapse. For coaching & other enquiries, head to letsrecover.co.uk.

    In this week’s episode, I talk about the importance of rewiring your eating disorder brain, why recovery is about more than 'just' eating more or restoring weight, and why doing the things you’re afraid of is essential if you want them to feel less scary and fully recover. Topics discussed: How ED behaviours and beliefs become automatic - and how to change themThe importance of repeated exposure therapy, opposite actions, and 'avoiding avoidance'The science of brain neuroplasticity, and why you absolutely are capable of changeWhy doing matters more than thinking about doingCoaching & other enquiries/resources: letsrecover.co.uk Instagram: @amalielee | @letsrecover.co.uk
