👋🏼Hi guys- Emily Sauer here hopping on to address a question that has been coming up in some of my recent client sessions:

“I used to be able to eat much less food without getting hungry- why can’t I do that anymore?”

If this is a question you have been asking yourself please know you are not alone and you are not broken❤️

✨This is actually a strong sign that your body and brain are doing exactly what they need to heal, even when it can feel uncomfortable and confusing.

💪🏼Your body is fighting to survive, it does now know the difference between intentional restriction and starvation.

🥖At Murray Nutrition we help people to find more peace in their relationship with food. If you are wanting more support in your relationship with food- I am currently accepting new clients. You do not have to go through this alone.

xoxo,
Emily Sauer 🤍

IDK who needs to hear this but 🥹👇🏼

I won’t forget one of the first times I felt my Healthy “Self” emerge when repairing my relationship with food + body.

I was eating dinner by myself, and had just finished a taco with chips and all the things.

One part of me was saying “this is PLENTY of food/calories/etc. You are done eating.”

Another part said, “But is what you typically do and you’re usually hungry soon after. If you want to get better you need to challenge yourself.”

My “Healthy Self” said…. “Okay…. Why don’t I make the taco and just see how it goes, what’s the worst that could happen?”

At first, it was a “disaster” 😂

🤢 Physically I felt so uncomfortable. So much more full than normal. Yuck. I hate this feeling. Nope. Make it go away.

😭 Emotionally, I was in turmoil:

💭 “What were you THINKING eating the whole thing? You could have stopped halfway and that would have been perfect… or even better not made the 2nd taco.”

💭 “No one even made you do this, you chose it for yourself. If you keep this up you know where it’s going.”

💭 “It was just a taco…. Truly. How do you think you will ever get better when this was so hard for you…?”

🌊 Flooded with guilt, shame, anxiety, and sadness.

This is a daily reality for someone struggling with an eating disorder.

But in the midst of this particular experience, I felt a steadiness and confidence wash over me, a perspective that I was familiar with but had not yet made my own -

“You cannot heal from the same methods that got you into the eating disorder in the first place.”

If I was going to get better, I had to stop being so critical. I had to stop talking to myself in this way. I had to let it be messy. I had to congratulate myself for trying. I had to have my own back.

Imperfect and trying > stuck in paralysis

Self-compassion > stuck in dysregulation

Steps towards recovery > staying stuck

Maybe you don’t need to try harder.
Maybe you need to try different.

Courage dear hearts,

I started seeing a client this summer who asked me, “If you could go back and give yourself some advice for this process, what would you say?”

That question inspired this post ✨

spontaneous song from the comfort of her crumby car seat while she throws off her shoes & peels off her socks — oh to be 2 again 🥹

fully embodied
fully alive
in the moment
embracing it *all*
proud, with tender love & affection
sweat & all

This is the work, friends — peeling back every layer we can that took us away from *this*

There is a LOT of suffering that happens with eating disorders that isn’t objective, isn’t quantifiable, and yet, it’s very much real and devastating. There’s a reason why my recent “high functioning eating disorder” post did so well 💔

It’s really hard when you are suffering from an eating disorder and don’t have that objective data!!! It absolutely can feed the denial.

At the same time, denial is a universal symptom of an eating disorder, and should be acknowledged as such. If you find yourself saying “it isn’t that bad” or “I don’t think I have a problem” and others are concerned about you - something to be curious about 🤔

Early intervention (treatment) for eating disorders leads to better outcomes - research tells us this. Suffering longer isn’t a destiny to suffer forever, however, it does make it harder the more deeply engrained the disorder gets. Not waiting until the last possible minute to seek help *can* (not always) help avoid higher levels of care. 🙏🏼

I would have saved $$$ on treatment if I would have sought help when I first started struggling, instead of delaying, denying, and distracting myself from the reality of what was happening.

If you or a loved one can relate to any/all of this, my team is accepting new clients heading into the summer and would be honored to support you - reach out via DM or at www.murraynutritionco.com 💛

Speaking as someone who has been there 🙏🏼 this has come up several times this week in client sessions.

On the one hand, you know it’s literally just fruit. On the other hand, it seems like a life-or-death situation to make sure you get the lowest calorie fruit (food item?) possible.

These are some of the things folks with eating disorders struggle with - an extremely narrow selection criteria for “acceptable foods” that can further contribute to anxiety, guilt and shame with eating.

In our practice, we help clients reduce exposure to calorie counts and “extra” nutrition information to help the body and mind come back into safety and regulation. We do this in a way that continues to promote nutritional health, balance, and variety.

There are some aspects of nutrition that are helpful to focus on. Calories in fruit ain’t one of them 🫶🏼

If you are thinking about food for more than 25% of your day, there might be a reason to do some self reflection around why that is. Food and body obsession don’t have to be YOUR norm, even though it is unfortunately normalized in our culture.

Me + my team recently opened up some 1:1 client spots available late March into early April - DM me if you think we might be a good fit - you don’t have to suffer any longer 🫶🏼
