Before you jump into making New Year's resolutions, try this simple end-of-year reflection practice.

Instead of focusing on what went wrong or what you didn't accomplish, take time to celebrate the moments that brought you joy, pride, and inspiration this year.

Go through your photos, calendar, or journal and write down anything that left you with a good feeling—big accomplishments, beautiful mundane moments, and times you stepped outside your comfort zone.

By reflecting on what truly mattered to you this year, you'll set resolutions that align with your values and what brings you genuine happiness.

It's time well spent, and you'll likely end up feeling inspired and hopeful for the new year ahead.

Ready to reflect? Read the full guide and download our free reflection worksheet:

Use your photo library to jog your memory and go through your memories from this past year, making a list of moments that made you feel happy, proud & inspired.

Think emotional eating and restriction are opposites? They're actually two sides of the same coin.
When we restrict—whether physically or mentally—our brain activates survival mode. We become food-focused, our emotions feel harder to manage, and when we finally eat, it can feel urgent and out of control.

Then shame kicks in, leading to more restriction... and the cycle continues.

The truth? Both behaviors are trying to help us cope with difficult emotions and stress. They're protective mechanisms, not character flaws.

Healing starts with regular eating, building new coping tools, and replacing judgment with curiosity.

You're not broken. Your body has been trying to protect you.

Read more about breaking this cycle:

When most people hear the term emotional eating, they think of turning to food for comfort. And when they think of restriction, they picture the opposite: rigid control, avoidance, and willpower. But in reality, emotional eating and restriction are deeply connected. They’re not opposites at all; t...

Social gatherings can be challenging for those experiencing food anxiety or eating disorders. At Evolve Wellness Group, we understand that social meals combine two significant stressors: food and people.

Our latest article explores practical strategies for navigating these situations with compassion:

✓ Validating your feelings instead of judging them
✓ Planning ahead without over-preparing
✓ Focusing on connection rather than consumption
✓ Using grounding techniques when anxiety rises
✓ Reflecting with self-compassion afterward

Recovery isn't about eating everything—it's about gently expanding your comfort zone and rebuilding trust with your body. Progress happens one small step at a time.

For individuals struggling with ARFID, disordered eating, or working to rebuild a healthy relationship with food, know that you deserve to be part of the table, just as you are.





For many people, social gatherings mean laughter, connection, and food. But for those struggling with food anxiety or eating disorders, those same moments can feel overwhelming and full of pressure. Whether you’re navigating ARFID, disordered eating, or simply trying to rebuild a healthy relations...

A teen's eating disorder journey looks different from an adult's.

Teens are navigating identity formation while managing peer pressure and rapidly changing bodies. Adults bring more established identities, but may be facing decades of deeply ingrained patterns.

The differences matter: family involvement, life responsibilities, medical considerations, and motivation all vary by age. But the heart of recovery remains the same—compassion, evidence-based care, and the unwavering belief that healing is possible at any stage.

Recovery looks different for everyone, but one thing is universal: It's never too early, or too late, to seek help.

When someone walks through our doors seeking help for an eating disorder, we know they've already taken an incredibly courageous step. But the journey ahead can look quite different depending on their age. Understanding these differences helps us provide more effective, compassionate care tailored t...

Recovery from an eating disorder isn’t just about changing behaviors — it’s about changing the narrative. The more we become aware of the language we use, the more we can rewrite it in ways that support healing, not harm.

What words have been used to shame or define you in the past?

“You’re too much.” “You have no self-control.” “Good foods” vs. “bad foods.” “I feel fat.” Language is powerful. The words we hear, as well as the ones we say to ourselves, can shape how we see our bodies, our worth, and our recovery. In eating disorder recovery, part of healin...

Sleep and eating are deeply intertwined biological rhythms. When sleep is disrupted, the body’s hunger and fullness cues can become dysregulated, intensifying urges to binge or restrict. Similarly, after a binge, individuals may experience shame, discomfort, or restlessness.

Using sleeping pills can feel like a quick fix. But they can interfere with eating disorder recovery by reinforcing avoidance of underlying emotions and needs.

In therapy, we work to uncover what the sleeping meds do for you. Numb emotional pain? Quiet racing thoughts? Regain control after a binge? Once we understand the purpose, we develop more adaptive coping strategies, like trauma-informed mindfulness & structured nighttime rituals.

For many people struggling with eating disorders, the behaviors that develop around food are only one piece of a much larger picture. It’s not uncommon for individuals to also find themselves turning to other substances or coping mechanisms to manage emotional distress, regulate appetite, or escap...

Are GLP-1s safe for someone with an eating disorder? The honest answer is: We don’t know, because adequate long-term GLP-1 data does not yet exist on this population. But this post is an honest attempt to lay out the information currently available, so you can make an informed decision about what’s best for you.

One thing that we know: True eating disorder recovery involves psychological healing, not just behavior change—it’s about fundamentally transforming your relationship with food, your body, and yourself. That work cannot be outsourced to a medication.
