What can you say when someone comments on your body during eating disorder recovery? You can keep your response simple. Depending on the situation, you might say:

▪️Direct responses:

“I’m not discussing my body.”
“Please don’t comment on my weight or appearance."

▪️Brief subject changes

“I’d rather talk about something else. How have you been?”
“Let’s move on from appearance-related topics.”

▪️Softer Responses

“I know you’re trying to be kind, but comments about my body can be difficult for me.”
“I appreciate your concern. What helps most is not focusing on my appearance or food choices.”

If body comments, food talk, or body image concerns are making eating disorder recovery more difficult, an eating disorder therapist can help you develop boundaries and coping strategies that fit your individual recovery.

As research advances in the connection between neurology and biology, which means the brain and the body, it is producing new and effective approaches to counseling. Brainspotting, discovered in 2003 by Dr. David Grand, is one type of treatment that focuses on this connection between mind and body.

Brainspotting specifically uses a spot where someone is looking to identify a physical response, which then leads to uncovering the mental association with it.

We provide secure virtual therapy to individuals and families located in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Connecticut, Vermont, South Carolina, and Florida, making compassionate, evidence-based care accessible no matter where you live. Support is available, healing is possible, and you don’t have to walk this journey alone.

If exercise feels less like a choice and more like something you have to do, even when you are exhausted, injured, or falling behind in the rest of your life, you are not alone, and you are not “dramatic.”

Compulsive exercise can be deeply connected to eating disorders in women, and it often shows up alongside anxiety, perfectionism, rigid rules, and a loud inner critic.

At Recovered and Restored, we help women work through compulsive exercise as part of eating disorder recovery and body image healing. We take a compassionate, practical approach that helps you feel understood while you learn new tools.

Our work is fully virtual, which means you can access care from a private space without commuting. We support clients across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Connecticut, Vermont, South Carolina, and Florida!

Birthdays are a time of joy, celebration, and connection. However, for those in eating disorder recovery, these occasions can also bring about feelings of anxiety and stress.

Here are some practical tips to help you navigate the day!

🔹 Plan ahead: Discuss with your support network—whether it’s family, friends, or a therapist—how you envision your birthday. Outline what feels safe, regarding food, social interactions, and activities.

🔹 Focus on People, Not Food: Shift the focus from food to the people you’re celebrating with. As I always say find your tribe hold them tight.

🔹 Create a Safe Food Environment: If you’re comfortable, consider preparing a list of safe foods and maybe even some fun foods that you enjoy and feel comfortable eating or feel brave enough to try.

🔹 Mindful Eating Practices: Take time to savor each bite, listen to your body’s hunger and fullness cues, and eat at a pace that feels right for you.

🔹 Set Boundaries: Whether it’s opting out of certain activities or requesting a smaller gathering, prioritizing your mental and physical well-being is essential.

🔹 Celebrate Non-Food Activities: Incorporate activities that have nothing to do with food. Consider hobbies or interests that bring you joy!

🔹 Positive Affirmations and Self-Compassion: Celebrate your strengths, achievements, and the resilience that has brought you this far.

🔹 Seek Support When Needed: Talk to a therapist, join a support group, or reach out to trusted friends or family members.

Looking for support? We provide secure virtual therapy to individuals located in Mercer County, Monmouth County, Morris County, as well as all of NJ. Reach out today!
