My Marathon My Mountain is a podcast about FULL recovery for adults who have been stuck with an eating disorder or disordered eating for years, even decades.
The name of the podcast reflects this journey to freedom; it is a marathon because full recovery continues well after reaching a certain 'target weight'. And it is a mountain because it takes a super-hero like you to do so in a diet and fitness obsessed world.
Twice a month, your host Homaira Kabir shares common issues and challenges in eating disorder recovery and provides information and practical tools from science and research, hope and inspiration from her own eating disorder recovery, and a healthy dose of fun and laughs to help get you to that magical place that makes it all worth it.
Hi, I’m Homaira, and I support adults to achieve mental and emotional freedom from the rules, rigidity, and control of an eating disorder through practical tools based in science and evidence.
I suffered from a ravaging eating disorder right through those supposedly carefree days of adolescence. But what I considered recovery in my early adulthood happened to be more of the same imprisonment, now in a bigger body. The misery was worse because I no longer had my eating disorder’s permission to eat without suffering its wrath. Talk about out of the frying pan into the fire…
I’m now on a mission to help women in all sizes, stages and subtypes of an eating disorder find their way to full recovery. Because there’s so much more to life that we never know when we live under the rules and torments of a toxic inner partner addicted to restriction.
Remember, not dying isn’t the same as living. And what you deserve is to live. To love, to laugh, and to embrace everything that makes life worth living.
