Episode 50: Exercise while healing your relationship with food and body
Exercise while healing your relationship with food and body
Can you exercise while healing your relationship with food and your body?
It depends.
In this episode, I talk about how exercise plays a role when we're trying to heal from a disordered relationship with food and exercise.
Healing from obsessive exercise will have its ups and downs. It's important to explore your intention behind exercise.
Are you working out because you feel guilty about what you ate?
Are you only doing it for the sake of weight loss and shrinking your body?
Are you chasing after unrealistic expectations and goals?
I discuss all the possible scenarios and how you can determine if exercise is helping or hurting your recovery process. I also open up about my own personal experience healing from food restriction and obsessive exercise and how my mindset around working out has changed dramatically.
