Many times is get asked, “So…how long does it take to recover from an eating disorder?” Is it 1 year, 2 or 3 years…or even 7 years? What can you expect from your recovery? How to recover as quickly as possible? How to “speed up” this process? What matters the most in all of this? These are some of the things I will discuss in today’s video.

Hi Elisa,
I am back in recovery as after 3 years I made the mistake of starting weight training. I liked it at first just to build strength, unfortunately after 4 months I started getting old ED symptoms… mental and physical. I brought your book back out and started again. I never want to go back to where I was. I do have questions? Can you update your videos on length of mental recovery and common pitfalls( as in weightlifting)?
Also what about food allergies? I really have taken longer in recovery because of anxiety induced Bowel issues. Can this be a sign of fear foods. Digestive issues are an issue that kept me in quasi recovery. I’m finally seeing the light again. I quit all exercises and have been eating every even things I thought gave me issues, but just wondering if you ever talk about this as a link to food intolerances/ hormone issues/ diarrhea?
I have a video I did on recovery traps:
