“But don’t you want to live a full life?”

I was asked this question so many times throughout eating disorder treatment. And the truth is, I did want a full life…but I didn’t believe “ED recovery” would give it to me.

I believed recovery would leave me empty. I believed that shedding myself of the ED mask would reveal how “broken” I was. How incapable I was of living in this world.

If I gave up all the time I spent grocery shopping, looking up recipes, counting calories, thinking about food, weighing food, preparing food, cleaning up food, and doing everything else that has to do with food, what would replace this?

If I gave up all the routines I had around exercise – walking, running, planning when I would next go off to the bathroom to do secret workouts, and constantly setting new “precedents” which insidiously led to an increasing amount of movement – what would replace this?

I was so afraid that if I stopped engaging with “ED behaviors,” I would be faced with existential emptiness. And there’s nothing more terrifying than being confronted with the most fundamental questions about WHY we even exist.

If you relate, grab a ticket for my Discovery Talk! In “Compulsive” Exercise or Adaptive Exercise?, you’re going to learn how to create your UNIQUE version of movement freedom.

Not by following traditional recovery frameworks – because if those worked, you wouldn’t be here! Instead, we’re going to address the physiological & existential roots of your adaptive movement behaviors.

When we look beyond “symptoms” and view “ED behaviors” as SYMBOLS, we can embark on the journey to creating a life FULL of activities that align with your authentic self 🙏
