"In recovery from a restrictive eating disorder, small changes can create cascades of wider transformation. Positive feedback can make major processes of change self-sustaining."
"Attending to the beauty of recovery reveals structural beauty in transformation, where one small alteration creates lovely knock-on effects across various aspects of health."
"Eating a bigger and less vegetable-heavy dinner can lead to drinking less water, taking bigger mouthfuls, and gradually increasing sufficient food intake essential for recovery."
"Sleeping more soundly as a result of decreased fluid intake at night reduces the need for caffeine, further promoting a positive feedback loop in recovery."
Recovery from restrictive eating disorders can begin with small changes that trigger broader transformative effects across various aspects of health. Positive feedback plays a crucial role in making these changes self-sustaining. For example, choosing to eat a larger, less vegetable-heavy dinner can lead to reduced fluid intake during meals, enabling a smoother eating experience. This can result in improved satiety, better sleep due to less nighttime disturbance, and a decreased reliance on caffeine, illustrating the structural beauty of recovery through interconnected benefits.
