It can be hard to remember sometimes - both for those working through an eating disorder and the loved ones who support them - but "small" wins are a big deal for recovery. We often hear our clients saying that they "should" be able to do that they deem "simple" or that "everyone else does naturally", but we see it differently.

We see your strength and resilience in the willingness to keep trying. We see courage when you choose to face challenges. We see meaningful progress in the difficult decisions you make every day.

Here are some little big victories our clients shared with us recently. We are incredibly honored to be able to witness these wins!

There’s a lot of snow out there, so here’s a fun way to make good use of it 😉. Give it a try while your snow is still fresh and clean!

Snow Ice Cream:
8 c (clean!) snow
1/3 c sugar
1 c whole milk
1 tsp vanilla
Pinch of salt

Mix everything together. The snow will reduce down quickly! We love mixing in chocolate chips, sprinkles, or nuts. Let us know if you plan to try it!

For well meaning parents and pediatricians, it may be difficult to notice the subtle changes in a child's growth pattern that indicate they need more nutrition to support their growing bodies. Because - spoiler alert - you often can't always tell a child is undernourished just by looking at them. (Nor an adult for that matter, but that's a soapbox for another day.)

In our latest blog post, Faith breaks down some of the signs to look for in a growth chart to understand whether you child could benefit from more nutritional support.

We get it - the prospect that you might gain weight while recovering from an eating disorder can be terrifying. But rest assured, this change often happens much more slowly than you imagine it will. And, it won't go on forever.

Think of your body in restriction like a dried-out sponge. At first when water runs over it, it doesn’t absorb much. It becomes overwhelmed. Water beads up instead of soaking in. That doesn’t mean the sponge is broken. It means it needs consistent, steady rehydration.

The body works the same way. After long restriction, nourishment can feel uncomfortable before it feels stabilizing. Bloating, water shifts, and fear often come before regulation.

And yet... with consistency, the sponge softens. Absorption improves. Balance returns.

If you're interested in personalized guidance on how to heal your body and mind from the devastating affects of restriction and never-ending food noise, we're here. Virtual and in-person appointments are available across many states. Insurance is accepted.

Just in case you need the reminder:
Small steps matter.
Simple doesn't mean easy.
You are making giant strides even in the tiniest decisions.

Keep going. You've got this.

If you’re hardly eating and your weight isn’t changing, it can feel terrifying and confusing.

The fear makes sense,but the explanation isn’t what diet culture taught us.
When the body is under-fueled for long periods, it adapts to survive. Metabolism slows. Hormones shift. Energy is conserved. This isn’t your body being “stubborn.” It’s your body protecting you.

Restriction doesn’t lead to endless weight loss. It leads to conservation.
Understanding this physiology is a helpful step toward reducing fear in eating disorder recovery.

If you can relate, first go ahead and ditch your scale. Then, hop over to this blog post where we explain in depth why this happens, and how to restore your body:

This week, Faith is sharing her hummus pasta recipe. She loves this meal because it’s easy and relatively quick to make, the veggies can can be modified easily, and it’s a great vegetarian pasta option with bold flavors!

Save this post so you can easily come back to the recipe right here:

Step 1: Make the hummus

Blend the following ingredients together until it creates a thick paste, can add water to thin if needed. Short on time or ingredients? Use a store-bought container (typically 10 oz)

-1 can chickpeas drained
-3 Tbsp olive oil
-1 Tbsp tahini
-2-3 Cloves garlic based on preference
-3 Tbsp lemon juice. Can sub for apple cider vinegar for more of a tangy taste
-½ teaspoon turmeric, salt and pepper to taste

Step 2: Boil the noodles and set aside, reserving 1 cup (240 mL) of the pasta water to be used later.

-10 oz pasta noodles (spaghetti noodles are my go-to but almost any noodle will work)

Step 3: Chop the vegetables and sauté

Heat a large pan over medium with 1-2 Tbsp olive oil, add the onions and sauté for 3-5 minutes until translucent, then add the sundried tomatoes for 3-5 minutes. Lastly add the spinach, stirring until cooked down.

-1 medium red onion- sliced into strips or diced per preference
-½ cup of packaged or canned sundried tomatoes, chopped
-1 cup spinach chopped

Step 4: Combine all the ingredients

Turn the pan with the veggies down to low heat, add the hummus mixture, then slowly add in the pasta water set aside from earlier, mixing together. If the mixture comes out too thick, add small amounts of water (1 oz at a time) until desired consistency. Lastly, add in the cooked pasta and mix until combined (this part takes some effort!)

Step 5: Enjoy! Pairs well with sourdough bread.
