FOLLOW-UP ON DISORDERED

[@emilytedrowe4441]

Just want to add my voice to say I'm full of admiration for your honesty and willingness to share your story to help others. As someone who once ran on a competitive women's college team, I'm not a stranger to what disordered eating looks like, and how shame and secrecy often surrounds it. It's an important conversation for all runners and athletes, men and women, to have. Thanks for being open about this. I'm rooting for you, in running and in life.

You are easily one of the most awesome and relatable pro runners out there.

I’m so happy for you that you’re feeling better! It’s fantastic seeing your smile again!

C-Money! Agree with shame associated with bad habits. I love my sessions with my therapist. Never thought ever see one, but after being diagnosed with severe depression agreed to start. Hang in there Bro. Rooting for you always. Your family.

I have this disorder as well. Quiet a thing to battle with. So far I have done some things like : learning to love food and appreciate every meal instead of seeing food as enemy and wishing I didn't have to eat (not seeing it as a drug addiction anymore). I actually started to weigh myself everyday - but not basing how much I love or hate myself based on the numbers , using the data to scientifically monitor and adjust my food consumption (as I do have bodyfat goals and changing running mileage). Being more mindful and aware and facing what I am doing bravely - loving myself regardless of the situation, also being more aware during a binge helps me stop before it starts to hurt. Lastly I stopped counting calories and am trying to eat when I feel hungry - in return also stopping when I no longer feel hungry. That is because I am learning that my body is fairly smart and years of mindfulness are showing me that intuitive eating can be fairly superior and take into account all sorts of internal factors, learning to trust myself more - though in past there was a time when I had no idea how much to eat intuitively and relying on counting calories was useful to learn about my body better.

Thanks for being REAL and for the kick in the shorts to get on with it. I will be taking the garbage down and shopping in the morning.

You already know the Swiss has your back! 😉 You RoCk on that rock! Thanks for sharing the sunrise with us and so much more. It's all going to work out! ✨👍🏻✨

Just wanted to say, your comment in the last video about putting food away when you feel full hit me pretty hard. I've gotten into some bad habits after longer runs, and what you've talked about so far has really been making me think in a good and beneficial way about my own eating habits and my post run "binges" I guess that I justify with mileage. Can't thank you enough for sharing your struggles and bringing this discussion into a much bigger audience. Keep being a kickass human being, and your sense of humor is 🔥 Also, I think the "you shall not pass" is from Harry Potter ;)

[@TheMockoShow]

Definitely Harry Potter--thanks for the correction! ;)

[@SOULxSOCIETY]

[@antoniotorres-pena2253]

coming a from a virginia therapist/runner...you are awesome, thank you for sharing your running and recovery journey!

[@TheMockoShow]

I will always be reppin' the Old Dominion!

Thanks for sharing this. I do the same thing as you. I get home from work and the eating begins. First its a banana, followed by peanut M&Ms then cookies followed by more peanuts and sunflower seeds. My wife says I go through a 60 count cookie package in 3 days. Then I go upstairs to see my wife who is not well and needs some care and say what should I make for dinner. I suffer from low self esteem which is why I am doing this and its been a struggle to find something that makes me feel good about myself and have some friends.

[@katie3114]

“In the words of Rebecca Black...” 😂😂 But seriously thank you for sharing. I think more people struggle with the balance of running and eating than we realize. I know I do! I wonder though when it goes from a habit or an indulgence to a problem.

[@annawiddowson2110]

you go mocko! very brave.

[@tarekhosen3313]

Love that Terminator theme song. Yeah yeah

[@TheMoonSeesMe]

Putting the light source BEHIND you is not quite the best approach. Just FYI. And I know this comment has NOTHING to do with the actual content. :-)
