When the fear of weight gain keeps you stuck in recovery

You want freedom — but the thought of your body changing feels overwhelming

This fear has meaning — and it makes sense

Fear of weight gain often sits at the centre of recovery. It can be deeply connected to safety, control, identity, self-worth, and survival.

When fear lives in the nervous system, information alone rarely brings relief. Understanding needs to reach the body as well as the mind. That’s why recovery can feel confusing — you may know what helps on a logical level, yet still feel overwhelmed when change approaches.

Many people find themselves in a space where motivation is present, insight is growing, and fear still feels powerful. That moment is not a setback — it’s a signal that support, clarity, and the right tools matter.

This course meets you there.
It offers a way to work with fear, build trust in the recovery process, and grow the confidence to move forward — even when discomfort shows up.

This Course Is For You If:…

You’re committed to recovery, and fear still has a strong voice when weight gain enters the picture.

You may be eating more than before, resting more than before, or loosening some rules — while still feeling stuck at an invisible edge you can’t quite cross.

You find yourself overthinking food, body changes, or “how far” recovery needs to go, even when part of you longs for ease and freedom.

You want to understand why this fear feels so powerful, rather than forcing yourself through it or waiting for it to disappear.

You’re open to building confidence from the inside out — through insight, understanding, and practical tools that help you stay grounded when discomfort arises.

You’re ready to work with your mind and nervous system, not against them, as you continue forward in recovery.

What becomes possible when fear is understood and supported

This course is designed to help you develop a steadier relationship with fear — so it no longer dictates every decision or derails your recovery momentum.

As you move through the course, you begin to build a deeper understanding of how fear of weight gain develops, why it feels so convincing, and what actually helps when it shows up. That understanding creates space — space to pause, respond differently, and stay aligned with the recovery you want.

Rather than relying on reassurance or willpower, you learn how to support yourself through moments of discomfort with clarity and self-trust.

Over time, many people experience:

A calmer relationship with food choices, even when fear is present
Greater trust in the recovery process and in their body’s signals
Less mental negotiation around weight, eating, and “doing recovery right”
Increased confidence in continuing forward without needing certainty first

This isn’t about removing fear completely.
It’s about growing your capacity to stay grounded, nourished, and committed — even when fear arises.

That’s why this course focuses on understanding, resilience, and confidence-building, rather than quick fixes or surface-level strategies.

“This course helped me understand why the fear felt so strong instead of just trying to push past it. For the first time, I stopped feeling like I was failing at recovery. I felt steadier, more trusting, and more able to keep going — even when things felt uncomfortable.”

A supportive structure you can move through at your own pace

This course is structured to support you through fear gradually and thoughtfully, rather than overwhelming you with information or pressure to “get it right”.

Each module builds on the last, helping you develop understanding, resilience, and confidence in a way that feels contained and manageable. You’re invited to move through the course at your own pace — returning to sections as often as you need, and taking time to integrate what you’re learning into real life.

You’ll find a blend of explanation, reflection, and practical guidance designed to help insight land not just intellectually, but emotionally and physically too.

Many people find this structure helps them feel steadier as they go — especially during moments when fear feels louder or motivation wobbles.

You don’t need to feel ready before you begin.
You build readiness as you move through.

A clear path through fear — without rushing or forcing

Fear of weight gain often creates a sense of being stuck — knowing recovery matters, yet feeling unable to move forward with confidence.

This course is designed as a progression, not a push.

Each stage supports a different part of the recovery journey, helping you build understanding first, then confidence, resilience, and trust over time. Rather than trying to eliminate fear, the course helps you develop the capacity to keep going even when fear is present.

You don’t need to arrive ready or fearless.
You build steadiness as you move through.

A clear sense of where you are and what comes next
Support that meets both mind and nervous system

A structure you can return to whenever fear resurfaces

Below, you’ll see how each part of the course supports this progression in more detail.

Each part of the course supports a specific stage of the recovery process shown above.

Each module focuses on a specific layer of fear of weight gain — building understanding first, then confidence, resilience, and long-term stability. Together, they create a foundation you can return to whenever fear resurfaces.

Each lesson includes a video, written content, and a reflective worksheet — designed to help you make sense of your own thoughts and experiences, not just absorb information.

Module 1: Challenging Negative Beliefs About Weight

This part of the course supports the Understanding the Fear stage shown above.

You explore why fear of weight gain feels so powerful and convincing, and how it connects to safety, control, identity, and survival.
As understanding deepens, fear begins to feel more meaningful and workable rather than overwhelming.

What this supports:
Greater clarity, relief, and self-compassion as you begin the course.

Module 2:
Shifting the Perspective

This module supports the Shifting Meaning stage of the process.

Here, you begin to look at how weight gain has been interpreted and what it has come to represent in recovery. With guidance and reflection, meaning starts to change — allowing weight gain to be seen as part of healing rather than something to resist or fear.

What this supports:
A growing sense of context, purpose, and perspective around body change.

Module 3:
Dealing With Discomfort During Weight Gain

This module supports the Staying Grounded Through Discomfort stage.

Fear doesn’t need to disappear for recovery to continue.
In this part of the course, you develop ways to stay present, supported, and connected to your values when discomfort shows up — physically or emotionally.

What this supports:
Steadiness and trust during moments that previously felt destabilising.

Module 4:
Building Confidence and Resilience

This module supports the Building Confidence in Recovery stage.

Confidence grows through experience. This part of the course helps you strengthen your ability to keep making nourishing choices, trust yourself, and continue forward even when certainty isn’t present.

What this supports:
A deeper sense of self-trust and confidence in your recovery decisions.

Module 5:
Long-Term Maintenance and Relapse Prevention

This final module supports the Longer-Term Support stage of the process.

Fear of weight gain can resurface at different points in recovery. This part of the course helps you feel prepared and supported when that happens, so fear no longer pulls you off course or undermines the progress you’ve made.

What this supports:
Stability, resilience, and confidence beyond the course itself.

Meet Your Coach

"Julia has been the most amazing coach and helped me transform my life from what it was.
I am so much more relaxed around food and not obsessed about my movement, I never want to count my steps again!
Her past experience of having had an ED, and her immense knowledge on eating disorders and eating disorder recovery, meant it felt like she truly understood my struggles that I had to deal with when trying to get better."

I’m Julia — a fully recovered anorexia survivor, eating disorder recovery coach, and host of the Fly to Freedom podcast.

This course exists because the fear of weight gain almost stopped me from ever recovering.

For years, that fear consumed me. It dictated what I could eat, how I moved, how I saw myself, and whether I believed I deserved love, freedom, or even rest.
It wasn’t just fear — it felt like survival. But staying stuck in that fear nearly cost me everything.

Now I’m fully recovered — and I’ve spent years helping others break free too.
And this course is a distillation of everything I know about the fear of weight gain — from my own lived experience, and from guiding hundreds of others through it in coaching.

Inside, I share the exact mindset shifts, practical strategies, and emotional tools that truly work — not just to survive recovery, but to move through this fear and come out stronger on the other side.

You don’t have to keep fighting this alone.
You don’t have to stay afraid.
Full recovery is possible — and it’s what you deserve.

🌟 You don’t have to wait until you feel “ready.”
You just have to want more than fear.🌟
