Our Stories - Life on the other side of an Eating Disorder

Hi! We are Meg and Safia. We are both from the UK, but met in Dubai after having the same therapist who supported us to recover from our eating disorders. We immediately became friends and found out we had a shared passion for helping other people who are recovering, which is why we decided to start a podcast. In this first episode we introduce ourselves and fill you in on our experiences of having eating disorders from when they started, through the most challenging moments to the point we reached out for help. We then come to the treatment we received and the support from friends and families, all of which were essential in us being recovered today. We hope this episode raises awareness and makes people suffering from eating disorders realise they are not alone as well as giving them hope that full recovery is possible. Topics covered:Our recovery storiesThe incentives that kept us focused during our recovery Meal PlansThe CBT-E treatment we receivedHelpful tools and practices we used to overcome tough body image days and eating disorder thoughtsTallulah 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.com
