[PART 3] Making Peace with Weight Gain in Eating Disorder Recovery


Listen Later

How can autistic people make peace with weight gain in eating disorder recovery? After exploring the underlying reasons for the fear of weight gain in Part 1 and Part 2 of this weight gain series, Part 3 is all about how to accept a healthy body. Livia challenges the conventional “love your body” narrative and instead, offers an ecological approach that particularly resonates with the autistic mind.

You'll learn:

  • Why the illusion of control in eating disorders becomes a prison rather than protection
  • How extreme hunger challenges our perception of recovery, especially when already weight restored
  • The transformation of viewing your body as part of nature rather than a possession to control
  • Why body neutrality might be more helpful than body positivity for autistic individuals
  • How black-and-white thinking can be redirected from obstacle to advantage in recovery
  • A revolutionary approach to body acceptance that doesn't require "loving" your body
  • The unexpected way autistic traits can become allies in making peace with weight gain
  • This episode concludes the series with a powerful message: the fear of weight gain makes sense, the need for safety is valid, AND there's another way to find that safety – one that works with the autistic mind rather than against it.
