Better Being Steph

First time poster here - I am posting from a place of concern as someone that has done the full recovery of an eating disorder when I look at Stephs posts I just feel so sad for her as she is still 1000 percent in the rabbit hole of her ED and behaviours. A huge part of an ED is this need to control the situation and structure and routine no matter what - lack of flexibility etc and unfortunately Steph can’t see she is still holding on to these behaviours. No matter what anyone else around her tells her these behaviours will be in play until she chooses to get and commit to full uncontrolled recovery

up at 3:45 am to go to the gym before work. That is the craziest thing I have ever heard. The only time I get up for the day at 3:45am is for an early morning flight honestly!
Also 7 hours sleep for someone who does that much exercise/work/uni just isn’t enough.

I also find it quite sad she is going to bed at 7:45pm, her life seems miserable. Full time work/full time uni.

That is not a fun lifestyle for a 30 year old (I think she’s 30?) no wonder she is miserable. I’ve had to unfollow her as she is quite triggering. She’s very clearly stuck in a disordered eating cycle.

I had to unfollow Steph quite awhile ago, her content was super unhealthy and it’s promoting such an unrealistic lifestyle, there is absolutely no balance and overall body image wasn’t positive to see on a daily basis, her workout schedule with weights and cardio was just obsessive.

I’m so conflicted by this thread 😖
I still follow but muted stories because her constant fitness/eating habits were making me feel negative. But I still love her Better Being products and support that small business.
I completely understand. I get this way about her too, until I eventually deleted Instagram, because it was really doing a number on my mental health.

I noticed my ED flare up when I followed her, there are so many red flags with her.

As someone who is also studying dietetics, I find it baffling that she is doing it full time alongside full time work, her own business, AND on top of that having a full blown workout routine.

I understand mental health is a fickle thing, and I applaud her for recognising what helps ease her hard days, but ED’s are sooooo manipulative, that they will “justify” anything in order to stay in control.

I also bought her bars, and didn’t think they were anything mind blowing, but I didn’t mind supporting a small business. I won’t be buying anymore, because they weren’t so amazing that I needed them.

this is dinner? A tin of spring water tuna and some steamed vegetables? No rice or carbs? Why would she even be posting this disordered meal?

I thought she was a receptionist? Why would she be alone in the office with no clients or other staff? She seems the type to do unpaid overtime.

I wonder if she is secretly binge eating? With all that exercise and the super restrictive diet, I'm always baffled as to how she actually looks to be a healthy weight and not overly emaciated.

i've been wondering this myself.... she does look very puffy quite a lot of the time so could be!
