“You are beautiful the way you are, you don’t really need to change your body to be beautiful. You are so much more than your body! You are you and I hope you know that!” - Amanda Hello and welcome to The Binge Eating Dietitian Podcast!   Today I have a very special guest, a past client of mine, Amanda. She has been in recovery for over a year. For Amanda, it was important to keep remembering what led to her food restriction and binges. To get through the worst parts of her recovery, Amanda focused on just that. Amanda shares her story to prevent other people from experiencing the same.   Listen in as we talk about; Her first memories of struggling with food, body image, and exercise Her addiction to people noticing her weight loss: “Oh, Amanda, you look so skinny. Did you lose weight recently?” Her first binge How being a vegetarian played into her binge eating How she stopped binge eating and what her recovery process looked like Digestive issues during restricting, bingeing, and recovery AND so much more! Amanda’s story reminds us that each person’s recovery experience is different.  If you are struggling to stop binge eating, get your period back without the pill and want to reach health and fitness goals without obsession… I want you to know you don’t have to do this alone.  Freedom with food is possible!  If you are ready to find peace and freedom with food & fitness so you can move on with your life, click here to apply for my Group Coaching Program.Send me a DM and we can talk more about what’s a good fit for you!
