The foundations of recovery are simple
Regular food with an abundant mindset when portioning

Once those foundations are in place, the fun starts and that looks like spontaneity, eating out and new experiences

This weekend, I asked Brad to choose dessert from which is a taste bud DELIGHT and we shared a takeaway pizza

You can see the stages of turmoil
‼️ sheer panic…where’s he gone? What’s he getting?
‼️ First bites; this is ridiculously good; I shouldn’t like this
‼️Half way through; how much more should I eat?

The ED voice is relentless.
From morning to night
From the first bite to the last
And the second you finish…

The cycle starts again.

The only way to overcome this anguish is to push through the uncomfortable. To lean into authenticity and recovery reminders. To relish into the memory and the joy.

‼️‼️‼️ IMPORTANT‼️‼️‼️

So here’s the wild thing…
I’m 28 weeks pregnant.
My eating disorder is WILD at me.
We are recovering consultant led midwifery care due to being a high risk pregnancy.

Noticing a relapse is one thing, asking for help is another… but being ADDED TO A 5 month waiting list by the Bedfordshire ED service is both negligible and barbaric.

We asked for help from the NHS perinatal mental health services BUT as an eating disorder is so niche (have you seen the recent statistics?) they feel it is beyond their scope and wanted to wait for the ED team and their assessment. The result of which is a 5 month wait with “medical monitoring” … a weigh in … in the interim months

So we consider our options with .uk
Following an assessment and follow up with a specialist, she decided that it will be better for us to be seen in the community, via the NHS due to the number of services involved in maternity care and the possible overlap….

So here we are.

12 weeks to go until I have what I pray will be a healthy and happy baby boy.
I’m fortunate enough that I can pay for the support of a gentle, kind and supportive coach .
I’m navigating the mess of recovery, and pregnancy using the invaluable tools I learn from the community.
Using podcasts and content to fuel my progress from places like .with.cleo .arts

But seriously…
5 months for a “priority case”
A huge hike in mental health and maternity services that leaves people with no support, vulnerable and scared.

Where do we even start to see changes to a system that is disgustingly broken from every angle?

What are your experiences?
Where are the answers?

Something I absolutely wasn’t ready for is MENTAL hunger. The thinking about food, obsessing about food… dreaming about food

After lunch, I know I wanted more. My body wanted more, but mentally… I just fancied something sweet.
Often; this causes a huge mountain of anxiety.
Should I eat? How much? How many? What will I need to restrict later?

Mental hunger, is a sign. It’s a sign that you NEED MKRE FOOD. And is actually often MORE important to listen to than physical hunger - it HAS to be noticed, acted on and used as a marker of an underlying need.

Trusting that hunger feels terrifying. But…

Would ignore it if you needed a wee? A glass of water? An extra jumper?
No, of course not.

And yet…

This week, my focus is moving away from “planned” to “spontaneous” and in tune with hunger cues - both mental and physical.

This journey is WILD and I’m having to learn and unlearn so much. BUT undoubtedly it will so be worth it.

Happy Monday and wishing you all a gorgeous week.

Monday feels hard, heavy and lonely especially with Brad away until Wednesday.

The food guilt from the weekend is LOUD but I can really feel this bubbling resentment to my ED

Anyway, this week is all about TOOL ACTION TOOL or a TAT week and my flash cards are my go to… taking them out with me, having them at the table… those constant reminders to pull me back to the moment and to my why.

Let me know your thoughts and ideas💡 💭

I argued three points when Brad decided we weren’t just going to get a “normal” cookie and instead wanted a double chocolate cookie sandwiched together with a crème pat…

Do I have to finish this?
It’s too big
I don’t want it.

But instead I chose to lean into the discomfort and to question myself- to ask myself the questions back

By eating the cookie (double cookie remember please) I experienced the colour and joy of life that lay in that first bite. I made a memory with my husband. And shockingly I blooming loved it.

I answered my own questions, my own fears and doubts and the result was gloriously spectacular

Pause. Ask the questions, hear the thoughts. Choose your action.

… and then live because your body weight simply doesn’t not matter.

Mrs. Potts Chocolate House thank you so much for having me. Your cookies were AMAZING 🤩

Could recovery be as simple as ABC??

Absolutely not.
Recovery is incredibly individual and difficult to fit into a one size fits all approach

But there undoubtedly a few non negotiable that I try to commit to and return to.
As simple as ABC

Abundant portions: is this enough?… means it’s NOT. Your plate should be the personification of recovery, if it looks safe, feels safe or doesn’t challenge then the bet is it isn’t fitting the brief. This is still a huge effort for me.

Bold actions: this is cub a great word stolen from who I can just hear saying it through her pods. Bold is brave. Bold is hard but bold is also really yummy and opens doors. By putting ANYTHING in a bold clear, you’re changing it from safe and stuck to brave and life changing.

Consistently committing to recovery: this is so hard when the eating disorder feels relentless. But the only way through is to continually and relentlessly SHOW UP and make decisions that are concussive to your recovery. It’s so hard on the moment, snack was only 2 hours ago?… do I have to do this again?…. Yes sweetheart. You do.

A B C

Tools are ESSENTIAL
A coach is imperative
And a support network is the glue.

Happy Friday 🩵🤰🏻🩵

No caption needed

But please watch, understand and maybe learn just what REAL recovery takes

I had it SO wrong and the effort that recovery takes is harder than any marathon I’ve been done

Support, love and compassion is everything.

Friday night was a BIG one and these pictures testify the pure joy of recovery.

Making the decision about what to eat is always the struggle. Mental calculations and bargaining.
Trying to turn up the volume on authentic Hannah is always so difficult and calories are a huge trigger

In the past, I simply wouldn’t have gone to something like the or wouldn’t have eaten. I might have gone but chosen a “safe” option convincing myself that I’d still@doke really well.

But mentally I wouldn’t have been present, I would have been consumed by guilt and the calculations would have been exhausting.

This time however, I was with my best friend… talking about how we’d like to do this again with our little pickle 🩵🤰🏻and we made a memory.

Consistent bold action.
Challenging the calculations and discomfort.
Leaning into the memory and the life we’ll create as a family

Hey beauties!!!

This is a little Sunday reminder

That whilst things may feel tough right now.
Impossible even…

You’ve so totally got this.

This weekend, I think I can say I’ve LIVED

We started with Henlow on Friday
Had Saturday brunch which was DIVINE
Dinner with the BEST FRIENDS and Beads amazing Tacos 🌮
Sunday morning lie in and breakfast of chocolate croissants 🥐 and a day full of sorting and tidying

… my life is complete because of what’s recovery brings
My life is abundant and rich because of what recovery brings
And my life is being LIVED because of what recovery brings

All of which means I can be the best mummy and wife, with all the energy and presence I dreamt of, making the memories I deserve.

And undoubtedly all this is possible, because of friendships, community, support and my bestfriend in the whole world



Let’s have a GREAT week shall we?

Happy Fri-Yay 🩵🩵🩵🤰🏻🤰🏻🤰🏻

This week has been SO split but generally things continue on the most positive trajectory,

I was challenged this week to think about my “challenge/ fear foods”, putting them into a table with 5 columns for repeated exposure/ iterations.
Example please!
Jacket potato 🥔, 🧀 and 🫘 with a serving of 🧈…
1. With Brad 2. Alone 3. At a friends/ Mums 4. At a cafe

This is such a helpful tool from as it just holds me accountable, I LOVE to rock things off and it gives my recovery some focus.

After those 5 iterations, I can step back with authenticity and honesty to be able to acknowledge if it is STILL a fear or if I actually really like it.

The “AND” foods/ drink are a big one. AND a smoothie/ AND a dessert/ AND the orange juice

So… dear Insta Chums (am also reading Miranda’s book so forgive me) CAN YOU HELP!?!

I’ve got the BEST friends who have already been a huge part and I’m so blooming grateful and fortunately the BEST places to be able to do the challenges

Drop me a message if you would like to be part of my little recovery bubble over the next few weeks and months.
