In this weeks special recovery article we take a look at the importance of reintroducing trigger foods in recovery and I share some great tips and advice on how to start eating all of those challenging, triggering, “unsafe” and “bad” foods again without relapsing!

This may seem like a strange topic, especially if you’re still in the early stages of recovery where you’re putting everything you have into making sure you remain mindful, cautious and “switched on” 24/7.

If someone would have told me at the start of my own bulimia recovery that I should be on guard for becoming overly confident or too relaxed I would have presumed they didn’t have a clue about recovery.

But now, being blessed with a lot of experience and so many recovery insights I can say without a doubt that complacency is something that can become very relevant in the later stages of recovery.

Becoming aware of complacency in recovery now could help you to avoid relapsing because of it in the future

It’s natural to want to let your guard down when recovery “get’s good.”

I remember when I was a few months into recovery, thanks to the support I'd received at Bulimia Help structured eating had actually become enjoyable, I was no longer experiencing powerful urges to binge or purge and although I occasionally thought about restricting, they were just thoughts that I knew I didn’t have to act on.

My weight was stable; I was able to appreciate myself for the first time; food was just food and nothing more and because of all of these wonderful changes I really started to feel free for the first time.

In this week’s special recovery article I share some of my favourite strategies that will help you to deal with non-food triggers like diet talk, others weight obsession, fat talk and everything else in-between!
