Also, even if you weren’t a recovery coach, watching your videos is so helpful in that your personality, confidence, priorities are so healthy and encouraging for me! It motivates me and shows me the kind of mom/sister/friend I want to be for others! Basically, lonely stay at home mom here -I really take a lot from each and everyone of your videos, and some days it feels like you’re the friend I’ve been searching for and wanting to be for others. 🥰
It's on Spotify as well! :) Loved the interview. Started all in recovery almost a month ago now. Already gained a significant amount of weight (don't weigh myself but can tell) and it's been mostly okay. I told myself that I refuse to be mean to myself about it and make this process more difficult for myself. It is hard but I am coping. :) Thanks for your videos!!!!!!
The timing of this video is soooo perfect for me and my all in weight gain! Some days I feel invincible and others are a huge challenge for sure! But I really do feel such progress. Thank you!!
Thank you....this is exactly what I needed right now. It's been a hard day - I realized that I am literally in the phase where I accept that I am fat, pretty unhealthy but that I will never be able to restrict and for what purposes anyway? I am the way that I am. I ran out of energy to be on that treadmill 5 years ago and whenever I have looked back or tried to go back I just can't. So it is what it is. Everything is relative and beauty is in the eye of the beholder - I see myself 10 years ago in photos with my baby kids and I can't believe I felt so bad about myself back then I was willing to do anything to be thinner/better. It's a lie. The goal is a lie. Now I look back at photos I look at my babies whereas before I looked at myself criticizing every little thing. Even if I have to live the rest of my life feeling ashamed of the way I look I will never go back. There is more to me, to all of us than that.
Fat according to whom? Unhealthy according to whom? Almost anything is healthier than being underweight (even being "over" weight). Sounds like you've come really far. Keep working on that self talk ;)
I find I've wanted to control what others think of me...which is impossible. If I don't let go of that my mind is constantly in an anxious manic conversation with itself about it and the other person
Any day Becky posts, is a good day! Please do a video on health, and the fear of being unhealthy and damaging by body by honoring my cravings. What if I don't want wholesome, nutritious things?
Loved the podcast! You mentioned in there that your mental hunger lasted around 10 months... what do you think about some recovery coaches coming out now and saying that full recovery takes only a few weeks? I feel so hopeless now because it's been a couple of months for me already
OMG kids are so awful lol The 5-year-old girl I look after saw my feet for the first time yesterday and went on and on about how ugly they are. She knows I need to gain weight and it's something we talk about as a "family." She then said that her feet are better and she is better and "they" are all better than me because I'm too skinny and gross. This while I've gained 7 pounds in the past 5 weeks and I'm eating more than ever lol God bless 'em
I find the hardest thing is posting photos on social media and other people seeing the weight change in photos. What to do? It's preventing me recovering fully.

Honour your cravings. Everything is nutritious.

That wasn’t my experience. I had pretty strong mental hunger for several months. My extreme physical hunger decreased after a few weeks however.

GET OFF SOCIAL MEDIA!!!😘
Becky have you ever dealt with someone who uses laxatives to control weight, I have just started using them, but they are highly addictive already?
Yes and they are just another form of purging
Is there any truth to what all the plant-based doctors say that being overweight is a cause of a lot of illnesses
Overweight according to who? Listen to your body and it will do what it's supposed to do.
