Listen "Disordered “Justification""
Episode Synopsis
Living with an eating disorder means that, more often than not, food and movement are tied to a hidden checklist of rules and conditions. In this episode of Rewired, we take a closer look at these “food formulas" — the countless justifications and restrictions that dictate daily life. From the outside, it can go unnoticed, but on the inside, the mental stress can be unrelenting: Am I meeting the condition? Did I tick the right box? Is this safe enough?We unpack what it's really like to live with these invisible rules, how exhausting it feels to keep up with them, and the illusion of control they seem to offer. Then, we explore why breaking free is so important. Through systematic challenging, repeating without compensating, and dismantling the rules, food and movement no longer require all those metal gymnastics — and full, unconditional recovery becomes possible.Connect with us:MegInstagram: @megsy_recoveryYouTube: Megsy RecoveryTikTok: megsy recoverySafiaInstagram: @safia_edrecoverycoachEmail: [email protected]: https://www.safiaed.comEm (copywriter & editor)Instagram: @em_schone[DISCLAIMER]Please keep in mind we’re not medical professionals, and the podcast content reflects our own experiences and opinions, as well as that of our guests, so it shouldn’t be taken as medical advice.
