Fear of Weight Gain, Eating Disorder Recovery, and More - Q & A w/ Victoria Kleinsman (Part 1)

What if the body you're in right now, or maybe even a slightly bigger version of it, was capable of eliciting the same feelings of happiness, freedom, and acceptance that you believe can only be achieved through weight loss? Join me and my fellow Food Freedom and Body Love coach (and returning guest!), Victoria Kleinsman, as we dive into listener questions in this deep dive Q & A. This episode is for you if: You're working on recovering from disordered eating or an eating disorder The fear of gaining weight is stopping you from healing your relationship with food You want to improve your body image 4:54 - What's the difference between semi recovered and full recovered? 8:09 - What makes the difference between someone who does fully recover vs someone who still falls back into old restrictive patterns? 11:04 - How to be okay gaining weight in a society where being thin is more accepted and feels safer? 15:39 - What helped us when we were working on our body image? 17:11 - How do you overcome the fear of weight gain? During this powerful conversations, Victoria and I share our respective journeys from semi-recovery to full recovery from disordered eating. We go beyond just breaking down the differences between being semi-recovered - like falling back into old behaviors or restricting thoughts - and being fully recovered. Together, we traverse the treacherous path of healing your relationship with food and your body, without the stress, overwhelm, or guilt. Gaining weight can seem like a scary prospect, especially in a society that equates thinness with worthiness. Victoria and I tackle this fear head-on, discussing how to stand tall in your self-love and conviction amidst societal judgment. We explore our internalized biases and learn to extend compassion towards others, and most importantly, towards ourselves. We challenge the narratives that weight gain equals less love and acceptance, and we share how our relationships with ourselves and others flourished as we moved towards full recovery. Let's engage in a profound conversation about body image, acceptance, and self-love in the face of societal pressures. Tune in, and let's take a step towards food and body freedom together.
