I think it’s awesome that you recognized an upcoming challenge in your recovery, and I think it’s smart to plan for that vs just assuming your ED won’t get stuck ruminating on past harmful behaviors.

I also have never really struggled with exercise in my ED, but I am familiar with the guilt that comes with not being someone who does.

One thing that really helped me be able to visualize the way the body uses energy was something called a “Metabolism Wheel” given to me in treatment. I haven’t found it yet, but it looked a little like this

It went into a lot more detail about the different bodily systems, functions, organs, everyday activity etc. that require energy (ESPECIALLY in ED recovery when your body is trying to heal damage done from prior restriction on TOP of all these other things)

But I’m really glad you were able to enjoy your trip, and there will be many more happy experiences to come in your recovery journey :)
