A young listener asks ‘how not to revert to old eating-disorder habits’ while moving forward with their love of exercise and goal of returning to athletics. In response, Michelle explores practical skills for staying on track with recovery. She discusses creating a clear vision of the life you want, establishing regular and sufficient eating before relying on hunger cues, practising mindfulness, making daily decisions towards health and recovery, and learning to identify and problem-solve the situations that can pull you back towards old eating-disorder behaviours.
Along the way, Michelle introduces the four keys of her 4×4 Freedom Express — Vision, Decision, Inventory and Action — as a set of tools that can be used repeatedly for as long as needed to move towards freedom.
