I don't necessarily like the word abstinence, but for me it's I have to stay away from the sugar because I just can't stop the floodgates open.
Imagine dedicating your life to fitness, only to find yourself caught in the grip of binge eating. That's the story of Christine Dobrocky, who opens up about her tumultuous journey in this episode of 'Recovery Hour'. Hosted by Lori Windfeldt, this conversation is a raw and honest look at the dark side of extreme fitness and the road to recovery. Christine doesn't hold back as she shares her struggles with disordered eating and addiction interaction disorder.
From being bullied as a young girl and vowing to prove she wasn't 'fat', to becoming a dedicated fitness competitor, Christine's story is both heartbreaking and inspiring. She talks about the pressures of maintaining a certain physique and how it led her down a path of obsessive exercise and dieting. In this episode, Christine also touches on the challenges of online dating while in recovery, especially during a global pandemic.
Her candidness about navigating these 'murky waters' adds a relatable layer to her story, making it clear that recovery isn't just about the physical aspects but also the emotional and social ones. One of the most poignant parts of Christine's story is her decision to replace the word 'fat' with 'plump', a gentler term that reflects her journey towards self-acceptance.
She discusses how she's learned to manage her triggers, like avoiding sugar, and emphasizes that while this approach works for her, everyone's path to recovery is unique. If you've ever wondered about the impact of disordered eating or the pressures faced by fitness competitors, this episode is a must-listen. Christine's journey highlights the importance of finding what works best for you in recovery and serves as a powerful reminder that it's okay to ask for help.
