Most people in eating disorder recovery spend years trying to get it right.

The right amount of food. The right level of hunger. The right level of fullness.

In this episode, we're talking about what happens when recovery feels messy. When you eat past fullness, feel out of control around food, or stop trusting your own decisions.

What if you're not failing recovery?

What if you're learning something your eating disorder never taught you: how to trust yourself?

In This Episode:

• Why feeling out of control around food doesn't always mean something is wrong

• The perfectionism hiding behind "doing recovery right"

• What eating past fullness actually means

• Physical hunger vs mental hunger

• Why self-trust is built through experience, not certainty

• How to respond after a meal that feels "wrong"

• The mindset shift that helped me stop treating recovery like a test

If you've ever worried that you're overeating, losing control, or getting recovery wrong, this episode is for you.
