Meg & Safia

We chat about how we challenged our fear foods and food rules in recovery. How we had to repeat food challenges, several times a week, in different settings and contexts, and without compensating around the food, until they began to neutralise. And then, crucially, keeping all these foods in as permanent parts of our diets.

  • What process we used to challenge food rules/fears
  • Not compensating
  • Not treating challenges as a one off
  • Food obsessions
  • Did we go all in?
  • Tools we used during challenges
  • Coping with feelings of anxiety, guilt, frustration etc...
  • Mantras
  • Challenging in different contexts
