Have you ever felt like you need to be perfect? Have you ever not done something because you're worried you won't be perfect? It's the classic all or nothing approach and that's what this episode is all about. Getting past this feeling is KEY to eating disorder recovery.

On this week's episode, Rebecca Clyde MS RDN joins host Julia Werth RD to discuss how living alone - and especially cooking for yourself - can be the start of so many problems. It's often easier to care and cook for others than it is for yourself. People often lose motivation when it's only them they have to worry about. On this episode Rebecca talks about how she works with clients to get them back on the caring for yourself train without making it all or nothing. It's OKAY to order out and it's OKAY to cook for one.
