Hello, hi and welcome to another episode of the Emma Gunn Show and a midweek instalment of bullet points.

If you are indeed watching on YouTube, you will notice that we are in a slightly different location from usual, because we

are in the living room. It felt appropriate to be a little bit more comfortable for this

episode, although if you are watching on YouTube, you'll also see why I may have used a damp

cloth to try and get a quick stain out anyway Anyway, beside the point, you can probably tell

I'm buying time because the title of this video might seem a bit clickbaity and that's actually

what I wanted to avoid. But the truth is, this is just as not important a part of recovery but it is a feature of recovery that

I don't think I've ever really spoken about much and I felt very strongly today this is this is

the podcast that you have probably needed to record before but never. And so I am talking about recovery from

binge eating disorder or something resembling binge eating disorder in my case, and the challenges

that that causes. And for the most part, I think I do really well, and I'm so proud of my progress.

And I'm so proud of my recovery and I'm so proud of my recovery.

I accept that it's nonlinear and that's fine. But recently it has been, it has presented more of a challenge than it has ever presented and I did if you like relapse but in brackets but not completely so I have just to

give you context if you've not been here before I have throughout my entire life struggled with my

weight which is now a phrase that I find really irritating. But what it means in my reality

is that I was always overweight and I always ate more food than I needed, but I didn't necessarily

join the dots that I was eating too much because I was never really that satisfied. I was always

thinking about food. No food was ever enough. And so food was this constant thing that

was just chattering away saying, hey, want some? And funnily enough, I saw a clip on social media this

week of Oprah Winfrey talking about when she started GLP1 agonist drugs and how she had always

thought that skinny people or thin people

were just able to make good decisions around food and didn't go the other way.
