Hello!
These short videos (Recovery Nibbles) share insight on common struggles of eating disorder recovery. Kristie knows only too well the distress an eating disorder can bring and hopes that by sharing her thoughts, you will know that you are not alone.
Has pursuing freedom imprisioned you?
... the more I tried to pursue what I thought was ‘freedom’, the more I felt like I was in a mental prison...
I'm fine, I don't have an eating disorder
... once I could lay out both sides of the argument, I had a lot more clarity about what was really going on.
Is it a choice or has it become a chain like a prison?
... something I like to say is ‘is it a choice? Because you don't really know if it's a choice until you actually go there...

Taking a step away from compensation
... And so what I recommend for the compensation is to really think of your recovery in that way is like a chess match...
Fighting the mentality of 'I can't recover'
... for the people that think they have the eating disorder that can't be cured, what I want to say is ‘what's really getting in the way?’..

... If you could find other ways of coping that help with the pain or the stress that came with that, would you be interested in that?...
Other people have told me that I can't recover
... there's something that feels really good about doing something that other people thought was impossible...
Do you think you are "too sick" to recover?
... if you're breathing and there's life, then there is hope...
I want to recover, but I don't want my body to change
... your ability to recover is directly in proportion to your ability to surrender...
I want to recover, but I don't want to buy new clothes
... are you willing to surrender some pieces of cloth, that might be holding your life hostage...
I want to recover, but I need to exercise
... in recovery, what are you holding onto?...
