Eating Disorder Recovery Tools for Women Who Are DONE with Diet Culture | Best of Mary’s Cup of Tea

Eating disorder recovery is possible, even if it feels difficult at times. So many women struggle in silence with disordered eating and the constant pressure of diet culture, even if they’re not formally diagnosed with an eating disorder.

In this special “Best Of” episode, I’m sharing some of the most powerful moments from our self-love podcast. And today’s topic is eating disorder recovery, breaking free from diet culture and leaning into intuitive eating. You’ll hear bits and pieces of my personal eating disorder story, what helped me recover from bulimia, as well as advice from therapists and dietitians.

You will hear about...

• how diet culture works in insidious ways
• my experience with an eating disorder (bulimia + binge eating)
• the root cause of binge eating and how to break the cycle
• what finally helped me overcome binge eating
• why intuitive eating works is so much more liberating than any diet or weight loss program

 

Whether you are just beginning your eating disorder recovery journey or you’ve been working at it for years, these conversations will remind you that recovery is not only possible—it’s worth it.
