Terrified of Weight Gain in Recovery? Here’s the Secret to Moving Forward

Fear of weight gain is incredibly common in eating disorder recovery, and avoiding it often makes the anxiety stronger. In this episode, we talk about why waiting to feel “ready” can keep you stuck, and how gentle exposure work helps reduce fear over time. We break down what exposure looks like in real life—from facing avoided foods to tolerating uncertainty in your body—and why progress isn’t about a number on the scale. This is a conversation about building confidence, trust, and freedom with food, with support available through recovery coaching, guided programs, and group support at JamieTheDietitian.com.
