Following Safia’s story, today, Meg shares her recovery experience — where her ED started, how things developed over the years, and what happened as she moved through different stages of treatment.
It wasn’t a straightforward timeline (recovery timelines rarely are!). There were periods of getting better, moving countries, starting again and relapsing. We also explore the moment when Meg realised that looking healthier and eating in a certain way didn’t necessarily mean she was recovered, and how working with someone who understood eating disorders helped her recognise the rules that were still running her life.
Topics covered:
How Meg’s eating disorder began
Early treatment and hospitalisation
Moving abroad and changes in recovery
Relapse and returning to old patterns
The difference between looking better and being recovered
Hidden rules
Finding specialised eating disorder support
The point when recovery started to feel different

Eating Disorder Mind Games
JOIN THE REWIRED IN ACTION COMMUNITY: www.rewiredinaction.com/ (http://www.rewiredinaction.com/)
Eating disorders can be incredibly convincing; it’s why so many of us stay unwell for so long. In this episode, we look at some of the common “mind games” that can keep you stuck – everything from being told you “look well” or that your blood results are fine, to comparing yourself with someone who seems to be struggling more.
We talk about why these thoughts can be so difficult to challenge, and come back to a bigger question: what kind of life are you able to live when the eating disorder is making the decisions?
Topics covered:
Common ED “mind games”
Questioning whether you’re struggling “enough”
Medical reassurance and recovery
Comparing yourself with others
Appearance and eating disorder recovery
Hunger cues and recovery
Looking beyond being “well enough” to function

The Hunger Paradox
JOIN THE REWIRED IN ACTION COMMUNITY: www.rewiredinaction.com/ (http://www.rewiredinaction.com/)
Have you ever been scared of hunger, but also wished you had the cues? In this episode, we get into the strange contradiction of wanting to feel hungry enough before eating, while also spending so much time worrying about hunger itself…
We also take a closer look at what happens when we turn sensations into judgements, and why eating doesn’t have to depend on getting those signals “right”. Especially in recovery, hunger can be unpredictable! Sometimes structure is more helpful than waiting to feel ready. You can eat when you’re hungry, when you’re not sure, or even when you still feel a bit full – without needing to work out exactly what your hunger is telling you first.
Topics covered:
The contradiction of wanting and fearing hunger
Trying to achieve the “perfect” amount of hunger
Body-scanning and constantly monitoring hunger
Why hunger can become another thing to control
The difference between a sensation and the judgement attached to it
Fear of fullness and what it can mean in recovery
Eating for reasons beyond hunger
Why hunger and fullness can be unpredictable in recovery
Mental hunger and the role of structure
Practising eating without perfect conditions
