When you take that bowling ball, the gutter ball obviously is an indentation- indentation groove, and so the ball naturally gravitates towards empty space. It was just the food and the eating disorder, because it was a sense of control and it was my thing.
Ever wondered what it takes to break free from the grip of an eating disorder? In this episode of 'Throwing Up Rainbows', Z Zoccolante opens up about her personal battle with an eating disorder that spanned over 11 years. She dives deep into the emotional and psychological hurdles she faced and shares the strategies that helped her find hope and healing.
This isn't just another recovery story; it's a heartfelt conversation about the importance of self-compassion, understanding the role of shame and guilt, and the brain's involvement in addictive behaviors. Z's insights are particularly valuable for those who have been labeled as 'good girls'—the perfectionists who silently struggle without obvious signs. She sheds light on why these hidden battles are so tough to recognize and how they can be overcome with the right support and mindset.
If you're looking for a story that combines raw honesty with practical advice, this episode is a must-listen. Whether you're dealing with an eating disorder, supporting someone who is, or just curious about the complexities of addiction, Z's journey offers valuable lessons and a beacon of hope.
