385. “I Wanted to Recover Without Gaining That Much Weight” | Recovery Story w/Ali

49m | Oct 14, 2026

If you’ve ever thought, “I’ll do what it takes to get my period back…I just really don’t want to gain THAT much weight,” you’re going to relate to Ali.

Ali spent years in and out of recovery, sometimes bleeding, sometimes not, but never really letting go of the food control or trusting her body. And when she finally decided she wanted to become a mom, she had to face the thing she’d been afraid of since childhood...allowing her body to change without knowing exactly where it would land.

We talk about her years of “quasi-recovery,” trying to find a way to recover while staying thin, the very real fear of weight gain, and what changed when she finally said, essentially, screw it, I’m doing this.

Once Ali went all-in, she got her first period in about 50 days, ovulated, and eventually got pregnant on her third ovulation.

If you’re currently trying to figure out how to recover without having to fully surrender to recovery…this episode is for you.
