[Bonus Episode]","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":2576,"description":"Tina has done so much healing, and her question becomes: when is recovery “enough”?\n\nIn this conversation, listener Tina shares a recovery story that will feel deeply familiar to many listeners: years of restriction, calorie counting, binge eating, fear foods, food obsession—and then a long, thoughtful climb toward something much steadier.\nShe’s no longer trapped in the binge-restrict cycle. Food doesn’t dominate her life the way it once did. She can eat fear foods. Enjoy social meals. Loosen the rules. And yet…\nShe still has some food noise. She still loosely knows the numbers. She’d still happily snap her fingers and lose a few pounds. So does that mean she’s not really recovered? Or is this what recovery actually looks like for many people, not perfection, but a sustainable middle ground?\nIn this episode, we talk about the so-called “messy middle” of recovery, the pressure to achieve perfect food freedom, and why all-or-nothing thinking can sneak into healing just as easily as it sneaks into dieting.\nIn this episode, you’ll hear:\n Whether “fully recovered” is even a meaningful or realistic standard \n Why the internet’s version of recovery can sometimes create unnecessary pressure \n The difference between disordered eating and normal human imperfection \n When calorie awareness is useful, and when it becomes a problem \n Why some structure can support recovery instead of sabotaging it \n The difference between occasional overeating and binge eating \n How perfectionism can distort your expectations of healing \n Why recovery may be less about arriving somewhere and more about ongoing flexibility \n How to decide whether your current relationship with food is actually costing you anything \nThis is such an important conversation for anyone who has ever wondered:\nIf I still stress about food sometimes… am I doing recovery wrong?\nBecause maybe healing isn’t about becoming a perfectly intuitive, salad-in-a-meadow person.\nMaybe it’s about building a relationship with food...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/f-yWZsRIEio7H8gavK0U18erOHa81mwRgbUS1jC3CcU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iYjIw/MTc1NWIzMmY1ZjFh/MDJjZDNlNTc2MDc0/NDk4Ny5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
