Another fiery episode today where we talk about the tell-tale signs of overexercise as well as some tips for getting back into movement, after a long period of absence.
Untangling weight loss and movement is one of the hardest parts of rebuilding our relationship with our bodies. For many of us, coming from a disordered eating background, it can be all too easy to replace restriction with overexercising. We're still maintaining that felt sense of 'control' over our bodies. We can cope with listening to our bodies' hunger cues, as long as we can also do the calorie-burning classes and manipulate our bodies through movement.

Have a listen to this episode and let us know what you think.
The movement piece of rebuilding trust with our bodies is arguably the toughest, especially if you've always used it as a way to earn your food. You are not alone in this fight and our wish for you, is that someday you will find true strength and empowerment in movement.
