"What If I Gain Weight But Don't Fully Recover?"
<p>In this episode I discuss the fear of restoring weight without fully rewiring your brain and recovering mentally - and how this may be your eating disorder in disguise. Topics discussed include:</p><p>- Where this fear often comes from (and how to tell if it's driven by your ED or your healthy self)</p><p>- The fear of recovery 'not working', or 'wasted weight gain'</p><p>- Why weight gain happening before full mental recovery is normal and not inherently bad</p><p>- How recovery perfectionism and needing to 'do recovery the right way' can hold you back</p><p>- Fear of losing access to care once weight restored</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Instagram: </strong><a href="instagram.com/amalielee" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>@amalielee</strong></a><strong> / </strong><a href="instagram.com/letsrecover.co.uk" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>@letsrecover.co.uk</strong></a><strong></strong></p><p><strong>Website: </strong><a href="letsrecover.co.uk" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>letsrecover.co.uk</strong></a><strong></strong></p>
