"I think the most important thing for me to learn was the fact that change was possible. And that I didn't have to keep reproducing the same patterns of behaviors, thoughts, or relationships." - Clélia Froguel

Today we have an inspirational story of recovery from a warrior I have personally worked with, Clelia Froguel. She is a shining example of what happens when you ditch diets and stop letting the elusive chase of weight loss be your primary marker of success.

Clelia and I go way back to the very beginning of this podcast, when it use to be called the Recovery Warrior Show, I’ve updated the name to the Recovery Warrior Shows because our vision is to expand to bring you collection of unique shows that target different stages and interests in the recovery space.

But back to the beginning of the podcast. I just released the Rise Up app and was a few years into working on Recovery Warriors. On the podcast I announced that I was opening up some one-on-one coaching spots, and she was the first person to sign up. We worked together for well over a year and I had the privilege of watching her transform. 

She showed me that what I was teaching actually works to help other people in their recovery, change is possible. And since then I’ve gone on to create online programs like Map My Recovery that have given nearly 1,000 warriors the training, accountability, and structure they need to make real change happen.

But it all started with Clelia, and I am so honored to have her here to share her story and her experience working with me as she recovered from bulimia and binge eating. She truly has become the hero of her own story.

"An eating disorder starts out as a way to gain control, until it starts controlling you." 

When we feel a lack of control in our lives, we experience anxiety and despair. We seek to make our environments and our lives predictable. With an eating disorder our food, weight, and self-concept becomes meticulously managed and controlled. We create routines, build habits, and organize our lives around behaviors that provide a sense of safe and familiarity.

In this episode, we explore the scientific research on the role control plays in eating disorders and the different reasons it manifest. 

With a greater awareness you gain a greater ability to change.

We've bought into the idea that we're capable of controlling our emotions. We're not. At the same time, our emotions provide us powerful keys to self-awareness. They serve as a way to help us understand our needs, boundaries, and desires better.

In this episode we cover five intense emotions connected to eating disorders so you can get to a place where you embrace their intensity without turning to eating disorder behaviors, and ultimately understand their underlying messages.

“The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself”. -Maya Angelou

For this "5 Things Friday" we're covering steps you can take to improve your body image.

How we think about ourselves is such an important factor in how we treat ourselves. Our perception of our body gets filtered through our beliefs, experiences, upbringing, and other sociocultural factors. The good news is our perception of self and body can change.

Tune into advice from Summer Innanen on how to break out of the diet culture cage so you can wear, say, and do whatever you want.

"To truly pursue recovery, you do have to make changes, there's no way that you can keep interacting with life, the way that you are right now with food and your body the way you are, you do need to let go."

Kelly Uchima opens up about her need to change her relationship to food and exercise. Swept up in the fitspo community, advice, tips, and "best practices" fueled her eating disorder. As the fitness community validated her body insecurities, she became more and more obsessed with measuring her food and exercise. Now in a strong and active recovery, she has a lot of wisdom to share on her journey from fitspo to self-lovespo.
