One fact that I like to remind myself of is that healthy people do not generally question whether they are sick enough to deserve to feel better.
Feeling like you're not 'sick enough' to deserve help? Molly Robbins tackles this common yet harmful mindset in the first episode of 'My Big Fat Recovery'. With warmth and wisdom, Molly unpacks the origins of these thoughts and how they can sabotage our recovery efforts. She dives into societal fatphobia and the lack of understanding around eating disorders, highlighting how these factors feed into our imposter syndrome. But don't worry, it's not all heavy!
Molly's approach is both compassionate and practical. She encourages listeners to adopt a scientist's mindset—observe when these feelings arise and identify what triggers them. This episode is like a pep talk from a friend who truly gets it. You'll walk away with actionable advice on practicing self-compassion and validating your own experiences. Molly reminds us that healthy people don't question if they deserve to feel better, and neither should we.
So if you're ready to break free from the 'sick enough' trap and embrace radical self-love, this episode is a must-listen.
