Do you feel like you can’t have extreme hunger because you’re not underweight? I GET IT. I’ve been exactly where you are. In fact, my extreme hunger didn’t start until after I was deemed weight restored! Because I was at a healthy weight, I thought my body was broken. I thought I had done recovery "wrong," that I had gained weight "incorrectly," and I was going to gain weight forever if I gave into my extreme hunger at this point in my eating disorder recovery journey. Rest assured, extreme hunger did end and in fact, honoring it and going into overshoot was a key part of me achieving full recovery after a long battle with anorexia, orthorexia, and exercise bulimia. It was scary as hell, and that’s why I’m sharing this podcast with you today. You'll learn:
