Hello and welcome to The Binge Eating Dietitian Podcast!   On this episode of the podcast, my past client Alex shares her journey to food freedom and disordered eating recovery! Alex talks about her struggles with body image and eating issues since she first started trying to lose weight as a senior in High School. She shares her journey to recovery and what it was like working with me in my Group Program! We discuss: When Alex began dieting and focusing on weight loss Calorie counting, food restriction, and excessive exercise caused her to lose her period What doctor’s had to say about her missing period and weight loss How compliments from others reinforced her disordered behaviors Recognizing her situation and seeking help Handling the approach of going “all-in” giving herself unconditional permission to eat AND SO MUCH MORE! Alex shares what she would have told the version of herself before choosing to diet; “You’re never going to be happy with yourself.  With the mindset that I was in, I was never gonna be happy with how I look.  I would tell her to wake up.” And if you’re ready to fully recover from your relationship with food and put your physical and mental health first, my group/1:1 hybrid program is for you! Enrollment is now open.
