July 10, 2024 05:39 - 46 minutes - 44.8 MBYou know what's hard in a life after diets? When people comment on your body or your food choices. How are we supposed to respond? It is a tough balance between setting boundaries, managing conflict, and not feeling triggered. The conversation starts out with a reflection of Stef's conversation the previous day with her Mom, but moves through different scenarios that we might run up against in our non-diet culture driven life. Some scenarios include: what if someone asks me if I'm pregnant...
155. But I Don't Trust Myself with Food (Live Episode)
July 03, 2024 06:46 - 40 minutes - 38.9 MBIf we're not dieting, won't we just be completely out of control with food? That's the risk when we feel like we can't trust ourselves. In this episode, we talk about what self-trust is -- including how we thought about it before recovery and how we think about it now. And maybe most importantly, how we developed more of it! This episode was livestreamed to our private community so we also answer some listener questions about personal experiences with self-trust. We discuss: trusting...
154. But I Don't Know What to Eat...
June 26, 2024 05:05 - 45 minutes - 43.7 MBHow do other people make decisions about what to eat? Have you ever been interested in understanding what makes a person choose the breakfast or lunch or snack that they choose?

153. Let's Talk About PCOS with Sam Abbott RD

Is eating low-carb important for symptom management? Can intermi...
152. But How Do I Deal With a Relapse?
June 12, 2024 04:21 - 42 minutes - 41.2 MBThis episode is all about relapse in the context of eating disorder recovery. We cover topics such as shame, self-awareness, boundaries, dopamine regulation, catastrophization, and the impact of life circumstances on relapse. Relapses can be very distressing; it's tempting to think we've failed or that we'll "never really get better." In the second half of this episode, we talk about the idea of "remembering and forgetting" as a muscle that actually builds resilience over time in eating di...
151. But What Do Attachment Styles Have to Do With Food Boundaries?
June 05, 2024 06:04 - 43 minutes - 41.9 MBThis week we are talking about attachment styles. The psychological concepts of anxious attachment, avoidant attachment, and disorganized attachment have been used to understand our relationship dynamics with other people, but can it also be used to understand our relationship dynamics with food? For example, anxious attachment in relationships looks like constantly seeking validation and having porous boundaries with ourselves and others for fear of losing connection. Might this also tr...
150. But Is It Self-Care or Self-Indulgence?
May 29, 2024 05:26 - 46 minutes - 44.7 MBThe world talks a lot about self-care, but many people in this community feel selfish taking care of themselves. It can be seen as indulgent to take the time to tend to our own needs, especially as mothers -- check out the second half of the podcast where Stef addresses this from her perspective as a parent (her take might surprise you). So what's the difference between self care and self indulgence? Speaking of indulgence, we also look at the way we talk about food under this lens. Are th...

147. But Is It Possible to Pursue Weight Loss After Giving Up Dieting?
May 08, 2024 04:39 - 44 minutes - 41.8 MBThis episode was a toughie, not gonna lie. It's really, really hard to have this discussion without potentially triggering some folks -- and we only know that because at one time, it triggered us, too. But this podcast is valuable because it does explore nuances, including the things less talked about in the anti-diet world. At the end of the day, the desire for weight loss remains after we stop dieting. And for some people the question of: can I pursue this intentionally without regress...
146. But I Have A Scarcity Mindset
May 01, 2024 04:54 - 45 minutes - 42.7 MBIn this episode, the hosts really get into how scarcity affects us, especially when it comes to food. They start by breaking down what scarcity truly means—it's not just about running out of something, but feeling like you never have enough of what you need. This feeling can lead to behaviors like hoarding or binge-eating, not just with food, but in many parts of our lives. They share personal stories and observations from society to show how the fear of not having enough drives us to over...

April 24, 2024 04:37 - 46 minutes - 43.7 MBThis body image centered episode delves into the distinctions between body positivity and body neutrality, offering a nuanced exploration of how individuals can relate to their bodies beyond conventional narratives of self-love.

April 17, 2024 04:06 - 34 minutes - 33.1 MBIn this podcast episode, we explore the concept of Gentle Nutrition, explained as combining basic nutritional knowledge with body attunement. This 10th principle of Intuitive Eating is about recognizing how different foods affect one’s body while maintaining a non-restrictive approach to eating. We also touch on personal experiences with nutritional adjustments post-recovery from eating disorders -- how and when do you think about nutrition when you're learning to allow all foods?? Does a...
143. But My Body is Aging
April 10, 2024 04:42 - 41 minutes - 39.3 MBThis conversation discusses the challenges of confronting the aging process, with Sarah sharing a recent moment of seeing photographs of herself and thinking she looked...well, older. This introspection is mirrored by a conversation about Stef's Wednesday Weekly email, which talked about the "emergency" feeling of noticing differences in sagging skin and redistribution of body proportions approaching middle age. As the conversation unfolds, it touches upon a broader philosophical reflectio...
142. But What If Food Gets Me Through the Day?
April 03, 2024 05:50 - 42 minutes - 38.5 MBIn this podcast episode, the hosts explore the complex relationship between food and emotional needs. The conversation begins with a reflection on Stef's Instagram post suggesting that food serves as a portal to solitude, comfort, pleasure, and escape, making the idea of changing one’s relationship with food seem like a sacrifice of essential coping mechanisms. The discussion delves into personal anecdotes and reflections on how food has occupied significant mental and emotional real estate,...

March 27, 2024 05:54 - 42 minutes - 40.5 MBIn this episode, we have a pretty cool chat with Stephanie Dodier, reformed dieter and coach for women post diet-culture. We dive deep into how society kinda messes with our heads, telling us we need to look a certain way to feel good about ourselves. Dodier brings up something called "the safety of conformity," which is basically about how we mix up feeling safe with actually being confident. Stephanie shares some personal stories -- for example, about being taken to a Weight Watchers m...

137. But Why Can't I Stop Eating in the Evenings?
February 28, 2024 06:30 - 48 minutes - 45.7 MBThe most common time of day for people to overeat and/or binge is in the evening. After work, after dinner, after the kids are in bed, after the quiet sets in. Those hours between dinner and bedtime can be the hardest to navigate and there are many reasons why this happens so much -- we're here to take a comprehensive look at many of these reasons. We'll discuss: The #1 reason people eat more at night Reward and Dopamine (see episode 120) Can it just be boredom? Joylessness Ghrelin,...

February 07, 2024 06:52 - 32 minutes - 31.3 MBWhat if you're recovering from an eating disorder and it's not all it's cracked up to be? What if the "better life" everyone talks about doesn't feel true for you, and you wonder if it was actually better before? In this episode, we look at this very nuanced, delicate, and lesser-talked-about aspect of some people's experience. Does it matter if you have other "things" in your life to fall back on? Needing something else to fill the gap of a sense of "purpose" What does it mean to "crea...
129. But How Do I Know If I'm Making Progress?
January 31, 2024 06:08 - 42 minutes - 40 MBThis episode, livestreamed to our Facebook community, is a response to a listener question that asks: How do we know when we're making progress in recovery? If we aren't celebrating pounds or dress sizes lost, how do we mark the "successes" of recovery? And how do we deal with the fact that no one else can "see" it? Stef's moment in the kitchen, yesterday Sarah's mincemeat pies (and a tangent discussion on mincemeat) Stef offers examples of the small wins from her first year in recovery...

November 29, 2023 07:03 - 39 minutes - 37.2 MBGeneen Roth coined the terms "permitters" and "restrictors" to differentiate between two types of (disordered) eaters -- the latter, who tend to restrict food and adhere to food rules and regulations; and the former, who reject food rules and regulations.

123. But Should I Keep Fear Foods in My House?
November 22, 2023 07:59 - 46 minutes - 43.5 MBIf we're no longer dieting, should we keep all of our trigger foods and/or "fear foods" in the house? Will we just end up eating them all and feeling MORE out of control? On the other hand, would it be restricting to not have them around? It's complicated! We're here to talk about the nuances of this question, including: Does not keeping foods in your house mean the same thing as abstaining from those foods altogether?

August 30, 2023 04:58 - 39 minutes - 37.3 MBIf you're not in diet culture, you're probably in anti-diet culture. Diet culture is the water we swim in.
