Let’s talk about exercise burnout… About 6-7 years ago I was really, terribly over trained — completely burnt out. I didn’t know it back then because it had never occurred to me that regular exercise can be a bad thing. Watch today’s video to see how what kind of training can lead you to exercise […]
“Are You Pregnant or Have You Just Put On Weight?”
Last summer, we were on a vacation and spent a few weeks with my friends and family who hadn’t seen me for some time. And then the question came, from one of my family members: “Are you pregnant or did you just gain weight??” Yeah, not the nicest question to ask. But sometimes people have […]
Did You Relapse and Lose Your Period Again?
“I relapsed and started eating 1600 calories a day and my cycle went away, what do I do??” I get this question (just the number of cals may vary a bit) quite often. Two things we need to understand about hypothalamic amenorrhea recovery are these: 1️⃣ Recovering from hypothalamic amenorrhea doesn’t mean that it can […]
The World Doesn’t End If You Don’t Know How Many Carbs You Ate at Lunch.
Are you trying to control and micro manage every single bite of your food? Most women who have struggled with eating disorder or disordered eating habits (including me 🙋🏼♀️in the past) have a strong need to control everything. Ok, let’s not make it pretty: many of us are control freaks… We need to know exactly […]
Before and After – Gaining Weight Made Me Feel Better!
The other day, Facebook reminded me of the picture on the left that’s from 2011. It was a day when I ran another marathon. This is me stretching pre-race. I was pretty shocked for a second when I saw this… hard to believe I’ve ever even looked that way. But I did, many years! Here’s […]
You Lost Weight Because You Wanted to Be Healthy… Here’s What Went Wrong.
Sometimes we believe that weight loss makes us healthier. And granted, there are people for whom this is really the case. However, if we take weight loss too far so that we lose too much and ruin our health while doing so, we need to step back and realize that we’re causing ourselves way more […]
So You Gained Weight. What Do You Make It Mean?
You gained weight. What do you make it mean? A lot of times we make weight gain mean something that it doesn’t need to mean at all. For example: 💥I’m weak. 💥I have no willpower to keep my calories low. 💥I lose my health if I gain weight. 💥I won’t be loved as much as […]
“I can’t allow myself to eat when I’m not hungry”
Do you feel like you need a special permission to eat, and find it particularly hard to eat more than you’d intuitively feel like, even though you KNOW that this is what you need to do for under eating or hypothalamic amenorrhea recovery? But here’s the deal… If you have hypothalamic amenorrhea or an eating […]
“But my doctor says I will get FAT when I start HA recovery!!”
I’ve heard from many women that when they tell their doctors, after they’ve done some research and learned what it takes to recover from HA, the response is: You want to think about it. Do you really want to end up fat?? I’m talking about it in this video, but if you can also keep […]
I’ve Gained Some Weight – Here’s What I’m Going to Do
I’ve gained some weight recently and in this post, I’m sharing what I’m going to do about it. It’s interesting because I actually found a post from several years ago when I was super lean (but didn’t realize it myself) and said that I had gained weight (which I cannot see, looking back – I […]
