Body checking

[@sarahmockingbird6433]

I bet Stinky and Dave never body check!

Sarah Mockingbird Wouldn’t life be easier if we were all beloved cats. My cat doesn’t give a shit about anything and is present in every moment. Pretty sure she’s not worrying about anything. If only!😸😸😸

Perfect timing. Loved this video & loved this advice. I HATE that I body check!!!!!!

[@trashcan8887]

Damn. Thanks so so much for this Tabitha. I’m eating unrestrictedly (still have extreme hunger) but I’m quite far above my pre-ed weight so recently I’ve been body checking a lot. I realised it’s only strengthening the ed voice in my head. It really frustrates me and it’s bloody exhausting so I’m going to stop.

Side note: I don’t like scary films either

Thank you so much for for doing this video! I’m so grateful you replied to the email! I feel like I’m going to be watching this multiple times at the moment🙈 you and your videos/blogs are helping so much, you are literally the reason I chose recovery no doubt about it so thank you💕

[@socialstacie6445]

Thank you for this...I just started watching your videos and reading/listening to EVERYTHING you've published, podcasted or responded to when interviewed by others. The eat whatever you want, when you want it philosophy filled me with great fear and guilt afterwards, at first. HOWEVER, I keep moving forward with steps that feel as comfortable as possible for progression...realizing it may have ebbs and flows, because I love great food, understand 'It's the journey' and realize there may be a few bumps in the road (maybe should go off-road and get a 4x4 ;). I've had this disorder, off and on, for over 32 years. It's time to choose healing... recovery...and freedom. Joyful eating is where I will be. Food is just one part of life...I look forward to discovering more, again. The anorexic mind has fought hard...we are stronger. I appreciate you so much...Have you ever listened to Abraham Hicks?...It may be interesting to you. more soon...Thank you for opening up so much about your journey to help us with ours. Going to the grocery tomorrow. This experience, previously, had my anxiety at a high. Feel like it will be better this time. S

Tabitha, this couldn't have come at a better time. Good I have you to call me on my bullshit, body checking has definitely become this crutch for me. I have to treat it as seriously as you described it.

[@ellenanning3672]

Ugh body checking is the bane of my recovery 😣 I keep telling myself when I go to bed that I won't body check the next day... Then the next day comes and before I even realise I catch myself doing it and I'm left frustrated and feeling like I'm not only reaffirming the "you're fat and disgusting" body dysmorphic thoughts but also the "you're a worthless failure, you can't even stick to your own rules, you're useless"... Any tips on dealing with and moving on from these sorts of situations? X

This video and the previous one about commitment have been extremely useful to me and helped me get unstuck in various areas. Thank you so much.

[@georgiagidney4412]

You just bloody help me so much ! 😍😍💜

[@witchylau]

The number of similar things people with anorexia do is insane ! I'm in recovery and still body check (and "face check") before every meal to make sure I deserve to eat, need to stop doing that...

[@dedoubecool]

This is the one thing I really need to work on... this, and getting rid of clothes that don't fit me !

[@alisonjohn]

I still body check I'm afraid. When I'm naked, to see if I really look my age - it's 50, and I'm rather afraid of the aging body. I am pleased with my quite muscular physique even though I'm a bit underweight. However, I know the clock is ticking and I can't maintain my current figure forever. I am in a very long period of recovery from Anorexia and although I'm keeping afloat, I still have issues with body checking and working out by following exercise DVDs. I embrace the dark and love the supernatural. It's escapism for me, from real life. In the dark people can't identify me properly in the street or going up dark roads. I can hide my identity and just kind of hide away from society. Thank you again for your educational videos. Axx

[@survivorswapped7637]

ahhh I just realized that you released this video the day I told my family about my eating disorder and the day before i was diagnosed with anorexia

[@tabi5790]

omg this came just in time

[@kellyottaway9907]

How much weight is to much?

[@screamingweevil3410]

There's no such thing in recovery.

[@HelloHello-hk4sx]

You mean "body talking". 😒 Classic woman video. All talk no show.
