In prior episodes, I’ve covered the topic of eating disorders — from orthorexia to my personal struggles with diet and nutrition. But today’s show is all about red flags for you, the listener. You’ll learn the signs to look out for that may suggest you’re developing an eating disorder (for the first time) or slipping back into the grips of one.
You’ll find out:
- Why we, as a culture, are often unable to recognize symptoms of disordered eating
- How much your thinking should be about food / weight
- Why / when lying about your diet becomes a problem
- When the joy / empowerment you feel around food is a bad thing
- Why behaviors associated with eating disorders (often) don’t have much to do with your weight
- How I used to convince myself that my unhealthy fitness / diet behaviors were okay
- How social media can play a negative role in one’s body image
- Why it’s imperative to consider whether or not you use food as a coping mechanism
- When it’s time to reach out to someone you trust
- Why / how it’s possible to be free from the struggle of eating disorders
