Before you start reading... There has never been a time when our community and content was needed more. Unlike other sites, we don't publish sponsored content or share affiliate links. We also don’t run ads on our site and don’t have any paywalls in front of our content–-anyone can access all of it for free.
This means we rely on donations from our community (people like YOU!) to keep our site running. We want to be here to support you all through this pandemic and beyond, which is why we are asking you to consider donating whatever you are able.
A single (or monthly) donation of just $5 will make a HUGE difference and will help keep our nonprofit running so we can continue offering peer support for mental health through our content.
In this video, I discuss developing a healthy relationship with food and exercise in eating disorder recovery. Key takeaways:
- Intuitive Eating is how I rebuilt my relationship with food
- Focus on the “WHY” behind what you eat and when you exercise
- Aim for commitment rather than obsession
All links and other resources mentioned in the video are listed at the bottom of this article.
