The Body Love Binge - Eating Disorder Recovery Podcast

Eating Disorder Recovery In Your 60's & Beyond


Listen Later

Guests: Susie (69, USA) & Christina (64, Australia)

In this beautifully honest and heart-opening episode, Victoria is joined by two extraordinary women, Susie and Christina, who share their transformative journeys of recovering from eating disorders—well into their 60s. Having met through Victoria’s group coaching community, these two have not only found food freedom and body peace, but also a deep, life-affirming friendship.

They discuss the unique challenges of recovery later in life, the impact of decades of restriction, body image struggles post-menopause, and the joy of rediscovering themselves after a lifetime of being defined by size. This conversation is full of wisdom, hope, and tangible encouragement for anyone who thinks it’s “too late” to change.


🧭 What You'll Learn:

  • What recovery can look like in your 60s (yes, full recovery is absolutely possible!)

  • How diet culture affects older generations and the myths about "aging gracefully"

  • Why menopause-related weight gain is not only natural—but protective

  • How inner child work, authenticity, and self-love play a crucial role in healing

    • The importance of community and connection in the recovery journey


    ✨ 5 Brilliant Quotes from the Episode:

    1. "It’s never too late to recover. I’m 69 and I’ve never felt more free." – Susie

    2. "My body gaining weight in menopause wasn’t a failure—it was wisdom. It was my body protecting me." – Christina

    3. "I used to think I was just one of the lucky ones who could control my weight. I now realise that was disordered eating all along." – Susie

    4. "I’ve finally become my real self. No more pretending, no more people-pleasing. Just me." – Christina

    5. "Recovery has given me my life back. I’m no longer counting calories in the back of my mind—I’m present, I’m joyful, I’m here." – Susie
