Nourishing Thoughts

Weight restoration is one of the most physically and psychologically uncomfortable aspects of eating disorder recovery.

Over the course of a restrictive eating disorder, the body adjusts to deprivation as a means of self-preservation (it’s clever like that!). However, these physical changes are often not apparent until we attempt to re-nourish ourselves. It is when we start the re-feeding process that uncomfortable symptoms manifest in the form of early satiety, gastrointestinal symptoms (such as bloating and constipation) and fluid retention.

Although this initial period of recovery is incredibly challenging, it is also ESSENTIAL and it's worth notice that these symptoms do generally go away when you are re-nourished!

In today's episode, Cassie and Ariana dive into WHY you may experience these symptoms, why its important to gain weight and how to cope with the discomfort.
