Ep 35: Overcoming Comparison and Period Recovery with an Active Job


Listen Later

Haley Pope is originally from Virginia but is currently deployed in the U.S. Navy. She loves Jesus, the beach, baking, yoga, and spending time with loved ones. She has also been a fitness and nutrition junkie her whole life. So much so that her friends, family, and co-workers all referred to her as a “health freak.” Unbeknownst to them, this was masking an eating disorder that turned into HA. Haley didn’t have a cycle for 5 years. When she asked doctors about her missing period, she was told her weight, workouts, and eating habits were normal- and to just go on the pill. But after being diagnosed with amenorrhea, she decided to take matters into her own hands. She found Lindsey’s program reports, “It has changed my whole life.” While the road ahead is still a long one, Haley now enjoys ice cream guilt-free and doesn't obsess over missed workouts.

In this Episode:

  • How an eating disorder can be misunderstood as “discipline”
  • Recovery challenges when you have a very active job
  • Overcoming comparison in your recovery journey
  • The power of community in feeling connected
  • Pushing through discomfort by clinging to your faith
  • How tracking your weight holds you back in recovery
