How to Handle Holidays, Social Eating & Special Occasions

We reflect on holidays we had when suffering from an eating disorder. Particularly the stand out, cringe moments we are so grateful for being behind us. We also talk about holidays we went on whilst recovering - the fun times as well as the challenges that came up for us and the tools we used in overcoming them. We hope this episode makes you not feel alone and gives you lots of ideas for how to overcome eating disorder thoughts that may come up for you. Topics covered:Event restricting / compensatingBody image when wearing summer clothesSocial eating Reflecting on what you truly want your holiday to be Fear of weight gain on holiday and letting go of the fearBuffet eating on holiday / eating at restaurants / eating local food  All or nothing mindset Change of routine Photos Comparing to social mediaChoosing hotels based on eating disorder rulesYou can find us on social media:Tallulah Self (editor and Producer)Instagram: @tallulahselfMeg:Instagram: @megsy_recoveryYouTube: Megsy RecoveryTikTok: megsy recoverySafia: Email: [email protected] Instagram: @safia_edrecoverycoachMember of the Beyond Body Coaching team: https://www.beyondbodycoach.comPlease keep in mind we’re not medical professionals, and the podcast content reflects our own experiences and opinions, as well as that of our guests, so it shouldn’t be taken as medical advice.
