EXERCISE in Anorexia Recovery | Exercise Addiction

hey there :) this topic is definitely one that people struggle with a lot. Exercise addiction is so common in eating disorders and so hard to let go of in recovery. In this video I talk about recovery and exercise. Should you be exercising, how to develop a healthy relationship with exercise, and more!

Thank you for sharing your experiences! You are definitely helping me know what to expect while on my own ED recovery journey.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS DARLING! I relate so so much

[@cannessacarey]

You’re welcome! Thank you for watching!

[@kellydaugherty5149]

Thank you so much for sharing! Your honesty and vulnerability are so encouraging! I just committed to recovery and am making my way through my first week without exercise after years of using it as the main means of compensation in my eating disorder. How long did you and your team decide to take exercise out of the equation and how did you reintroduce it once you were ready? Thank you again and wishing every blessing and success on your continued recovery!

Thank you so much for sharing. I was wondering. How long did you stopped working out and how did you started again? How is your relationship now?

Really helpful video! I have a walking obsession ... Does this applies to me too because walking is not exercising ... I do 2 heures a day but I force myself everytime

[@cannessacarey]

Yeah! obsessive exercise in any form is what this video applies to. Walking is still movement and is often used as exercise. LIke anything, too much of a good thing is not healthy for you whether that is physically or mentally. I challenge you to challenge that movement and ask yourself why you do it and what you believe about it or yourself if you don't do it.

Good points, thanks for the advice

I do 10k steps everyday and cardio as much as I can or I beat myself up even if my body is aching I don’t know how to stop.

[@kristynpscolka1316]

Thank you for sharing! How long did you cut exercise out for?

[@cannessacarey]

I cut out exercise for a few months. I think it was about six months but it is different for everyone!

What do I do if I don’t really want to recover but hate anorexia

[@hannekepeeters]

Thank you for this video! I want to go all in and also stop exercise, but I find it hard to give myself permission and stopping the exercising also scares me a lot! I would love to find someone who I can talk to who either did the journey allready or goes on this journey with me. I know it is so random through the internet, but does someone maybe want to be my buddy in all this? I also struggle with allowing time off from school, but I feel like I hit a wall and I just need months of vacation right now.. But also here, allowing myself is hard... Someone wants to be my buddy? (I am 23y old and live in Belgium, but I don't care where you are from)
