Eid and Celebrations in Recovery

MEEDA
About this episode

Certified ED Dietitian Hala Abu Taha meets Florence Gillet, Certified Eating Psychology Coach and founder of Beyond Body Image.

Together, they go through these questions about navigating Eid or other religious celebrations, in ED recovery:
1- How do I handle seeing people I haven't seen for a while, and dressing up for holiday occasions?

2- How should I manage triggering comments and conversations around food and dieting during celebrations involving food?

3- I am concerned about seeing tons of food and 'feast eating' during celebrations, what can I do to mitigate this fear in recovery?

4- What behaviours should I be aware of around food and exercise in the run up to and after the event if I am in recovery? 

5- I struggle to stay present when food is out. What do you suggest I can do?

6- Can I enjoy Eid even though I haven't fasted and I am on a strict recovery mealplan?
