Hi Emily, Hi Emily, I started all-in recovery from anorexia for 4 weeks because eating lists are no longer possible. my problem is that I have already eaten a whole cake or pie every day this week, plus 10 croissants, cookies and chocolate. Loafs of bread every day I feel like I'm not doing it right and that I'm developing other eating disorders. I'm also afraid that I'm eating for food's sake and not listening to my body. I already feel my body changing and I gained a lot like a lot. When I eat I can’t just eat 1 cookie I want every cookie or the whole cake. I’m afraid I’m developing a divergent disorder. I think I’m mentally so hunger and I don’t know if I’m binging really need your advice.🥲

The last point is great. I notice that if I get used to former Fear Foods, they become new Save Foods, and I would routinely now have this new save food reasoning that I have to repeat eating my fear foods after all. Stacking something I am actually afraid of on top is a great idea to get out of that loop ( and I have got a huge amount of noise in my head now already 😁 ) Thank you! :)

I cant stop eating.Been binging for 3 months straight on whole pizzas,bags of cookies and 2 bags of chips all in one day.Every day.Will this stop or have i developed binge eating now?Im worried as the weight gain is fast and its mentally been just hard

this is so helpful im now a healthy weight but ive been recovering for 3 months now and i still get extreme hunger and i worry that im not actually hungry and should i actually be eating this much? I dont know if im just eating lots of biscuits and cereal for no reason? or is this just my ed speaking?

How beautiful you both look, relaxed faces with all the AN stress and anxiety left behind. You give strength to my hopes for my daughter and she, today, found strength from you both. Thanks Emily and Fi.

You have no idea how much I needed this exact message today. Thank you for all that you do!

So great you are doing talks in hospitals

This made my day. Thank you so so much for this video. It truly gives a lot of hope and a feeling of being heard 🫶

Will you be uploading this series as a podcast at all? I love listening to your stuff whilst driving x

Most treatment programs are not well suited for people on the spectrum. I remember asking for an hour of 'downtime' in treatment to make being around so many people all day everyday tolerable, and they had a problem with it.

❤❤️‍🩹 Thanks, this gives me some hope that I too can get out of the hell / cage!

Very true. And the longer you were in deficit, the longer it can take for nutritional rehabilitation.

i have had this question today when i was listening to a podcast about the origins of " calories " as meassurement and the original purpose - to get people into work and make them " tamed" . i recognizied me being utterly focused on qualities i can put into relation. like meters , hours of movement, food intake , salery. and this started in schoo with marks . i question mysrelf how do i changnge my brains perception on the qualities i want to have in live when i find ( unfullfilling shorttime ) security in " measurable " things?

So so glad I’ve found you. You are a true inspiration and helping me to clear my pathway even more to my recovery. Thank you for keeping it real Much love ❤

Thank you❤

Thank you Emily for such a inspiring and well informed video which helps so much in putting into such eloquent words the real doubts and worries of being in recovery and thank you Emily for showing I can challenge the temptation to give into fear and flee from the going all in to recovery. Thanks again Emily X.

Thanks as always Emily. A question for you...did you have feelings of doing something wrong when you allowed yourself to eat in the beginning of recovery? If so, can you remember how you overcame those (powerful) thoughts?

Thank you as always thank you thank you

Roka🥰 Thanks Emily another great video x

Thanks Emily :)

Merci mille fois Émilie.. c’est très dur.. Mes phases de faim extrême s’espacent.. il y a 3 semaines j’en avais tous les 3 jours maintenant c’est une fois par semaine.. Je viens littéralement de manger une moitié de miche de pain… 400g de yaourt… deux parts de tarte fine. Et cela après mon dîner déjà complet… J’ai déjà pris 3 kilos avec la faim extrême mais je ne suis pas encore à mon poids de forme… Cependant c’est très dur de continuer de ressentir cette faim +++++. Mon corps est rassasié (mon ventre est lourd) mais j’ai encore envie de manger….😟 Courage à ceux qui vivent cela aussi.. c’est nos corps qui reprennent vie..❤️‍🩹

Isn’t it responsible to have conditions around your eating so that you don’t end up getting things like diabetes and heart disease though?

These are all thongs I do, I have to put the dishes away first, then I find more ao I have to do those, now my food is cold so I have to heat it up, now I need to use the bathroom again! Now I cant find my favorite spoon, someone else used it! I think i'm going crazy!

This is me so much! I have to put these clean dishes away first, then I find another mess somewhere I have to clean up, now my food is cold so I have to heat it up, niw I have to use the bathroom again so I won't feel too full, irs al just a circle!😮😮

It's so helpful to hear you talk about these things! I do have an awareness of some of the strange conditions I have around eating but hearing someone else share the exact same rituals/criteria really brings to light how abnormal it is and reminds me that these are things I tolerate from my ED that don't actually have to be entwined in my day if I challenge them

Story of my life...

Thank you so much for sharingg🫶🏻All of these “weird” ocd/ED need-to-do things are so real💀 Thank you for your humility and constant encouragement🖤🧡🎃 also the thumbnail

You are so wise and your videos are so so helpful! ❤Thank you for saying all this, it is quite rare to hear these specific aspects of an eating disorder but I relate to many of them. That feeling of restlessness and the need for being "productive’’ still is intense for me. I try to plan everything ahead even when to listen to friends voice memos so that I can do something ,,productive" while listening to them. I feel like whenever I start doing one thing I already feel like I should be doing the next thing…it’s like I can never fully commit and enjoy doing one thing cause I feel like I need to get enough stuff done. Maybe you could talk about that more in a future video? If you relate. I am looking forward to more of these videos, they are eye-opening. Thank you a lot

The 5 Ghost of the ED Hopefully one day they will be the Ghosts of EDs past

Im so confused because I thought it was a me tick that my food has to be piping hot and I always need to go to the toilet before consuming a meal.

Hi Emily, do you have any thoughts about navigating the world of ‘ultra-processed foods’ in recovery? The topic seems to be everywhere at the moment about how the UK food system is harming us with unnecessary additives in food, even bread! Sparked by the book ultra processed people; but it seems to be all over social media and goes against the idea ‘all food is good food’

What a lovely picture of the ghost-dogs 😂

Fantastic message (as always)! You've helped me SO much with recovery and I thank you. Question - do you have any videos about the middle to late stages of recovery? In terms of returning to exercise or walking? I've cut it out completely for the past 6 months and I'm able to eat anything and rest completely now. I don't want to reintroduce movement too soon but I'm looking for advice as to when it would be a solid choice.

Emily, I’d love your wisdom on this: Earlier this summer I knew I needed to make a big push to get out of quasi. But doing that, paired with postpartum blues, sent me into a major depression. I simply had to let myself get out for a walk with my baby or dance for fun. I genuinely don’t know how I’ll ever be able to really REST as recovery requires and not be depressed. And if that’s the case, why should I put the effort into all the eating?? ED black & white BS, but it’s put me into a corner. I find myself slipping back into ED behaviors without hope of being to say YES to recovery. Do I simply wait until the baby blues pass?? How do I press on? Thank you for all you do!

How do I know if my beliefs are true or not I have followed all the plant-based doctors and they have ingrained me that eating animal protein is harmful to my health. I am having trouble unknowing that belief because what if it’s true and years down the road, I end up with cancer because I ate animal protein.

At lunch today with my baguette I decided to take the BIG BAG of crisps and ate them all 😮I’m assuming in parts of your recovery, you had guilt after eating large amounts… I guess the answer is repeat repeat repeat until it doesn’t take over your head space after… 😢

I love the way Roka was watching you eat the biscuits!!🤣

I’m trying but the problem is that I purge and it has become so easy that I can’t seem to stop myself. I eat, then the hunger hits and I eat more and I can feel strong and even calm and then there’s a switch and I go either straight to purging or I eat even more, knowing I can because I will purge. It’s exhausting, I wish I had never started purging.

After years of restriction I now find myself literally bingeing on everything to the point I can’t breathe 😢😭please help

The other day I put a fork in my backpack and left home. I went to shop and got Colin the caterpillar cake. I went to park, sat on a bench, took the fork out and ate the cake like there was no tomorrow 😁 as if it was a slice, but it was the whole cake 👍😊 that was pretty cool :) did that again with a carrot cake, instead of getting a slice from a bakery 4 bloody 50 pounds for a slice 😩 I got the whole cake in a supermarket and just digged in with my fork (BTW since that Colin situation I always carry a fork with me 😂 you never know when you'll need a "slice" of cake... 😉). Also, speaking of ice creams and chcolate bars in that matter as well, I NEVER buy sticks, or cones or whatever (I mean single serving ice creams) and same with chocolate - 90/100g bar is minimum. Why? I just actually find it annoying that someone decided that this amount of ice cream /chcolate you are gonna have! No! I get tub and I eat as much as I feel like, I open a chocolate bar and eat as much as I want. Quite frankly, when it does happen that I got a magnum I had to have 2, because A. One is not enough and B. I found it irritating that one is meant to be it. Crisps? I mean come on.. The small bag of crisps is a joke, you can barely see any at the bottom of the bag. So, anyway, bigger is not always better!! Unless it comes to certain food choices ;)

What would your advice be for someones who doesn't desire tubs of cookies or stacks of pancakes or whole birthday cakes anymore (mental hunger has finally toned down) but still has a lot of ED rules?

Thank you. For everything. You’re making my recovery progress sooooo much easier and faster. I love watching your video whenever I feel discouraged.

I can't heal or want to heal disabilitys of other people ...to much poison in people that I can't filter out

How do you know when you can stop doing all of these recovery actions? How do you know when you are nutritionally rehabilitated?

Hi there, is anyone willing to get in contact to support each other in recovery?🙏

Feeling called out at 8:10, literally just woke up hungry and ate a banana 😂, thanks for these tips feels good to know im not the only one

Hi Emily, thanks so much for illuminating such wonderful truths for supporters and sufferers, my family and I found this video so helpful in helping me to continuing my recovery journey. Thanks so again Emily:)

Hi Emily. TY for video… how long did it take you in your recovery to truly feel like you could fully recover? ♥️
