The road to recovery isn’t linear, she goes up and down like a rollercoaster. Also remember that whatever you’re trying to heal from, do it at your own pace. Recovery in any shape or form can be fuelled from self-hatred and wanting to “look better” and not exactly about “getting better” but at some point, this mindset will shift and you’ll start to appreciate the freedom and peace above all I truly believe if you’ve ever suffered from an ED, it doesn’t EVER leave you fully but your coping mechanism improve, and the way you think shifts every time food is brought up, sharing some of my bits here to hopefully help and provide some insight if you’re struggling or ever felt the same Some of my recent wins: 1. Not obsessing over food menus when I go out to eat - just thinking what do I fancy? Instead of scanning it 17 times a day trying to think “what’s the safest option.” 2. Taking my time with food when out - it’s so simple but I would eat a meal like it was my last day on earth. Old binge habits here! Taking your time knowing if you wanted to have it again tomorrow, you could, WITHOUT CONSEQUENCES (imagine that?!) feels so freeing Every month I learn to appreciate my body, appreciate the peace & fuel correctly without punishment or guilt, these wins pile up. For now, two is enough 🫶🏼 by @wiktoriaryczko

Years of bingeing, restricting, starting over, telling myself it’s going to be better, punishing myself, developing an ED, turning back to food in times of stress, restricting again, therapy, feeling great, feeling sad again, back on track for a few weeks, and we’re back to the same cycle. That’s been my life since I was 19 years old, and only in the last year and a half I’ve felt truly back to myself. My food (& purge) noise was so constant my therapist told me to name her. It was so incredibly present in my daily life, I would track my calories in MyFitnessPal a few days ahead just so I knew what I “could have” for dinner, or where I could potentially fit in a binge if I knew it was coming. After a binge, I felt shame. I couldn’t leave my house for days, and had zero energy for practically anything. I had trigger foods (anything high-fat like cream, cheese etc.) at that point, I thought I tried everything until I’ve had enough. I’ve stopped tracking, I stopped viewing food as “bad” and “good”, I started to focus on nutrients every single day which gave me back energy and I actually felt full. I no longer tried to fit junk into my calories just to satisfy that craving that never really went away. I used to think having fruit was a waste of calories. I allowed myself my trigger foods overtime, in moderation (still will always be something I have to think twice about) but that mindset shift of LOVING my body from the inside out; really helped me feel my purest. Yes I still get excited about having yummy food out, yes I still enjoy a takeaway and get excited, yes I have gained some weight without obsessive tracking but I’m feeling my strongest, most capable, and actually mentally free 🤍I know it’s never as simple as “follow an 80/20 diet” or “just stop thinking about food!” - it’s a hell of a journey, but this is proof that it damn works! by @wiktoriaryczko

The main graft is over, now we’re peeling things back which is great because I’d like to feel my legs again! 🏃🏻‍♀️The last few weeks of the half marathon training plan have TESTED my mental, my body, my patience & everything in between. I’ve never had a “goal” to work towards that wasn’t rooted in my appearance, and boy did I think I was going to breeze through this. AND BOY WAS I WRONG 🤣 Last long run done before the half; I genuinely came into this plan thinking sub-2 could have been possible and I was quickly humbled and also, realised that the most important thing is progress & enjoying the journey and not putting unnecessary amount of pressure on yourself!!! Social media can make you compare yourself to Olympic athletes and think you can achieve the same, lols at me. I am somebody that tries something new, realises she’s not the best in the world at it and moves onto the next thing. Almost chasing a “talent”, so the fact I didn’t quit, I kept going through the PAIN, CHAFING, SHIN SPLINTS, SWEAT BURNING IN MY EYES makes me feel really accomplished to be completely honest with you.All of this to become an average runner hehe, but we’re keeping this going 🤍Wearing @womensbest in all of my pics (the define bras have been great for running, yes even for the big chest girlies) dc: WIKTORIA #runningjourney #halfmarathontraining🏃🏻‍♀️ #girlswhorun by @wiktoriaryczko

A few tips that help me genuinely thrive, and not have to worry about food, binging & relapsing all over again 🌸I want to preface this by saying that BED, in a lot of cases can be caused by past traumas/emotional responses so please seek professional help first and foremost. Now here onto some of my tips: Not training fasted anymore - I’d always train fasted (mostly because I wanted to look thinner to be honest) but that left me zero energy to workout. I’d come home ravenous and had a way bigger meal that my body needed, often filled with quick over-processed crap. If I overate, I’d skip lunch and then binge in the evenings if the hunger crept up again. Now, just a banana, a slice of toast with jam or some dates really help sustain my energy and getting into balanced meals when I’m done is so much easier. Having regular meals - can’t stress this one enough! I know what time I’m eating everyday and this means I know when I’m getting all of my nutrients. It stops me overthinking about food all day too, and again, provides that sustained energy throughout the day and I’m eating enough so that I’m always looking forward to my next meal but I’m never starving for it. Meal prepping ties into this, but having my food organised and prepped ensures I’m getting balanced meals but I am also in control. A binge is typically caused by a lack of control so this removes that aspect for me. Not tracking religiously - My binges happened a lot if I was up on my calories on MyFitnessPal. It would stress me out so much, and my only comfort was food so that’s where I turned. Now I rarely track my food, maybe once every few weeks if my menu changes but I’m checking if I’m getting enough food, and not if I’m eating too much. Focusing on performance > aesthetics is something I’ve been doing the last year and a bit and honestly, running has so much to do with it. It helped me understand that food is fuel and you can’t be in an irregular, disordered routine if you want to make progress and watch what your body can truly do. It’s taught me that calories and eating balanced (and eating carbs!!!) is super beneficial and has incredible effects on how I’m doing. 🫶🏼🥹 by @wiktoriaryczko

swipe for a recent full day of eating as a girl who pretty much eats the same thing every single day, I got my weekly menu down to *perfection* adding as many veggies as possible, as i’m not a huge fruit lover so the plates have to be colourful af ps. wearing @womensbest candied apple emphasise + their new whey is launching so soon, obsessed with the clear whey when it’s hot outside (so refreshing with some ice and 25g of protein) by @wiktoriaryczko
