Tabitha! If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have been recovered by now. Watching you launched me into recovery. Thanks you so much for everything you do!
This answer was great. I had no idea about your horse breeding work and all the scientific imaging and analysis that goes into it. It's inspiring you were able to switch into your ideal field of work after starting out in personal training, would love to keep hearing about that transitional period away from PT and into the breeding operations in future videos too
I just completed my ceritified eating disorder recovery coach course and I absolutely love the work I have been doing working with clients. It really makes a difference when you absolutely love what you do - and it takes so much stress out of life. I loved hearing more about your life Tabs, it's so interesting all you do with horses! 🤗 Sending lots of love to you always! xo 🥰❤💕
Regarding university study. I used to be late for lectures due to being at the gym at 5am and wanting to stay for as long as I could. I'd then not understand a word, borrow lecture notes from friends, read them whilst on the cross trainer. Also read my books whilst on the cross trainer machine. 😅 Managed to scrape past 1st year exams doing this. Of course though there were assignments I didn't ever do, and more so in the 2nd year... Eventually my 'system' cracked. EDs make you think you can do it all. Well you can't.
Hi Tabitha Thank you so much for your amazing work! I have a question that I will love to hear your perspective on:) I’m a 19 year old girl who have suffered from anorexia since I was 13 and I’ve been in real recovery for about 6 months, and I’m doing very well - I can now eat anything, which is amazing after so many years of extreme orthorexia. But it’s like my Ed keeps trying to find small things to obsess about now that it doesn’t have power over the food anymore. Therefore I find myself overthinking ‘ethical consumption’ and I know this is my Ed, but I have a hard time finding myself in it, cause I love animals, and feel guilty for buying food that isn’t good animal welfare. It’s really a niche thing that my brain obsess about, cause I’ve never really bought much organic, cause surprise my mind also find it very difficult spending money….. The climate focus in society is also a difficult thing for me to be faced with. I will love to hear your perspective on this issues with ‘ethical orthorexia’ Again thank you for your amazing no bullshit videos!
I knew a thoroughbred breeder in Santa Ynez, CA- she had 300 mares, a couple of stallions, and the 'teaser'- who was found swooning over the stallions. She turned her operation into an olive orchard and oil pressing business when she decided it was time to not be up all night during foaling season.
How do you stop caring about the fact that you don’t have a body that fits the beauty standard. I don’t really care about being super skinny I just wish my body looked more like the beauty standard
Hi Tabitha, I have been listening to my mental and physical hunger and eating everything unlimited. The weight gain is happening which I knew would but my thoughts are very negative and everyday I fight not relapsing. Will my brain rewire and recover just by continuing to eat more? Im fearful my body will recover and not my mind. Other than pushing through and eating how else do I rewire my brain to accept my new body? Thank you, sending love from Australia 😊
I struggle with this as well! It’s a constant battle of doing and thinking the opposite of whatever my ED would want me to do. That’s what Tabitha and Becky Freestone have suggested and it really does start to work 👍🏼I’m getting better and better every day. Hang in there and keep watching all these videos, best of luck!
When I was in recovery I had to srsly stop all bad thoughts. Bad thoughts come from the ED and all we want is to recover from the ED so we gotta do opposite of what the negative voice is saying. The more you eat whatever you want and how much you want Without judging the better. I made the mistake of relapsing because I always thought I was a pig for eating a lot but it only made my recovery tougher and longer. Remember no workout, no bodychecking, no buying clothes or buy very stretchy comfy big ones, and eat. Enjoy the eating because trust me recovery is so worth it. I literally got my life back. If you feel negative thoughts coming back just watch Tabitha Farrar while you're eating it helped me haha 😆
