When you look back upon your life, your full and prosperous life, when you're hopefully very old and grey, you're not going to look back and feel genuine fondness towards all the calories that you saved and experiences you restricted yourself from in order to live in service of your eating disorder.
The festive season can be a minefield for anyone recovering from an eating disorder. With its endless feasts and family gatherings, it often feels like a gauntlet rather than a celebration. In this special episode of IMPOWERED, host Imogen Barnes opens up about her own struggles and offers a lifeline to those in similar situations. She shares practical tips on how to not just survive, but actually enjoy the holidays.
From the importance of regular meals to setting firm boundaries with loved ones, Barnes covers it all. She also touches on the value of celebrating small victories and prioritizing mental health. Planning ahead can be a game-changer, but Barnes reassures listeners that sticking to familiar foods and routines is perfectly okay too. This episode is packed with heartfelt advice and actionable strategies to help you create positive memories during what can be a challenging time.
If you or someone you care about is navigating recovery during the holidays, this episode is a must-listen.
