You think you’re on the right track, then suddenly, BOOM!—setbacks, disappointments, and unexpected twists.

Today we’re talking about an interesting topic, so look forward to a lively discussion on when it comes to recovery: if we need a rigid structure or is something looser more successful? To be Rigid or not to be Rigid, that is the question! Or in other words, is structure and rules the only way to success? As we get into the meat of this conversation, we will talk about our different beliefs on what we think works. You might be surprised to hear we all have a little different take on where we are, which is good news because we can reach a larger audience who struggles. We are not all cookie-cutter humans (pun intended), and so by the end, we will have spoken to everyone out there listening!

In this episode, we're tackling a question that so many people in recovery ask: 'I’m doing the work, so why aren’t I losing weight? Is my recovery even working? Why am I not skinny yet? Because let’s be honest, the scale can be a deceiving friend. And maybe the bigger question is “What should we be thinking about when we start recovery?” Are we searching for skinny or peace? This is a HUGE topic because, as we always say, recovery is not a weight-loss program. It’s a healing process. But that can be hard to accept when diet culture has told us for years that if we just eat 'right' for a few weeks, the weight should magically fall off.
