Are you recovering from an eating disorder or trying to improve you relationship with food? There's an app for that. Have you heard of Recovery Record? Check it out on the internet or on your smart device. We learned of this application through clients who have been using it (and they are raving about it).
What is the app?
- Basically support by technology to help you continue making the choices you want to in the day. You could also call it coping via technology. The story behind the application is very neat as well.
- The app offers a place for you to log and track your food intake (no calories of course which is great) based on an eating frequency that you set.
- You can then set alarms with encouraging messages to help you keep achieving your goals.
- Messages are sent to you throughout the day to remind and encourage you.
Some aspects of Recovery Record our clients like:
- Custom settings to fit my needs
- Encouragement
- Help keeping the choices I really want to make, in the forefront of my mind
- Something I can have with me all the time
- Reminders, reminders, reminders
Some aspects of Recovery Record we like in particular:
- We see ways this application can be used not only for eating disorders, but for many people striving to create peace with food (talk to us in session if you are interested and we can help configure your settings)
- The ability to connect with providers through the application! We are not quite sure how this feature works, but hope we can try it in the future.
- Encouragement, coping, and helping people to continue striving to eat at regular intervals throughout the day.
