#190: What If I Never Stop Eating… or Gaining Weight?

One of the biggest fears in eating disorder recovery is not actually the food.It’s this:“What if I start eating properly… and I never stop?”“What if my extreme hunger never goes away?”“What if I just keep gaining and gaining weight?”In this episode, I answer exactly that.We talk about why a body can stabilise without necessarily stabilising at the weight your eating disorder would choose, why humans naturally exist in very different body sizes, what happens to extreme and mental hunger when food is

What if “balance” is actually keeping you stuck?In this episode, I’m talking about The Pendulum Swing™ — one of the biggest concepts I use in eating disorder recovery.If your eating disorder has spent years pulling you toward restriction, control, fear foods, compensation, “healthier” choices and endless rules, recovery is not about immediately trying to find some perfect middle ground.It’s about repeatedly going in the opposite direction.Again.And again.And again.In this episode, I talk about why

What if some of the eating disorder recovery advice you’re following has actually just become… another set of eating disorder rules?In this episode, I’m sharing my anti-advice: the common recovery approaches I either don’t stand behind or think need WAY more nuance.We’re talking weighing, covering mirrors and body checking, rigid meal plans, stopping exercise completely, “intuitive eating,” balance and moderation, the plate-by-plate approach, calorie counting, and the obsession with overshoot.I also

#187: Is a Little Restriction Really That Bad?

Recovering with Danie | Eating Disorder Recovery Podcast ·

2026/09/08

In this episode, I’m responding to a post from a recovery content creator with over 100,000 followers who argued that maybe we’ve become a little too afraid of restriction — that perhaps we say “yes” to food too often, and that sometimes wanting more food but deciding you’ve had enough can be completely fine.And I have… thoughts.Because there is a HUGE difference between what might be neutral food decision-making for someone without an eating disorder and the kind of message you give to someone who

If you struggle with an eating disorder, chances are you've thought about calories as 'something scary', something to be limited and something negative. However, I argue that you aren't actually scared of calories at all. You're scared of what they mean to you. And by not tackling the fear of calories, but rather the fear of that what calories signify to you, you can take steps in your recovery. So what do calories actually mean to you, and how do you tackle that fear? Tune in!I
