Antonia Hartley joins to help tackle this letter writer's struggles... Eating disorders make us feel so alone and isolated, but there are many people dealing with the same issues. Insight and awareness are vital to finding recovery and healing, but it can only take you so far. It's important to work with a dietitian or other eating disorder professional to find lasting recovery and make changes! Finding a Health at Every Size dietitian to work with is SUPER important to make sure you're in a safe environment to find help. If you're thinking about food all day long, definitely inquire if you're eating enough! Sometimes restriction is physical or mental, and adequacy with food is very important!! If you're bingeing, it's likely that you're NOT getting enough, no matter what size you are. It's NOT as simple as calories in, calories out. Our metabolism is MUCH more complicated than that! Sometimes there is fear in letting go of our eating disorder because there is a small part of us that feels these diet rules are serving us in some way... but they're not! "Honesty is the antithesis of eating disorder behavior." - Antonia Relationships are SO important in eating disorder recovery! Be honest with those you love, and set the boundaries around triggers. Eating behaviors can be a messenger for our emotions or our needs... listen to them! If you're in a situation where someone in your life is consistently triggering you, don't be afraid to bring them into a therapy session with you to parse out exactly what you need from them as a loved one. Remember, we live in diet-culture world, so give your loved ones some time to adjust to this new way of life! Be aware of your own internalized fat stigma when exploring recovery. You weren't born with food rules!! These are LEARNED behaviors and "truths." Checking back in with your treatment team post-recovery is SO important! Remember, we live in a world that hasn't recovered from its own eating disorder, so having a supportive community around you is essential for maintaining recovery.

Clean eating. Low carb. Low fat. Do this not that. Now what? Eating is getting too stuffy and complicated. Throw open your windows to allow a new stream of health, wellness, and peace. Time to examine your dusty food belief knick-knacks. What if you could write a letter to food? Pen to paper, you hash out the love/hate relationship and food’s undeserving power. Details go back years, to your first childhood diet trying to fit in. How you relate to food chronicles many of your life’s ups and downs. In this letter, you examine your dusty food beliefs and wonder which go in the trash, are for others, and which remain in your heart. What if you wrote this all down and food wrote you back? This is Love, Food. Food behavior expert and host, Julie Duffy Dillon is rolling up her sleeves to get to the bottom of what is really healthy. This award-winning dietitian seen on TLC’s My Big Fat Fabulous Life has a secret: food is not your enemy and your body is tired of the constant attacks. Show topics include: *emotional eating *weight concerns *binge eating *orthorexia *body image *eating disorders *dieting *parenting and food *healthy eating *stress eating *food addiction *mindful eating *non diet approaches Pull up a chair to your dusty kitchen table and set it for a meal. Ask food to sit alongside you and chat over coffee. Or a margarita. You have some reconnecting to do. In that connection is Love, Food. In that conversation is health and peace.
