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.
