Tis the season for all things sweet.Last year at this time, I was savoring dark chocolate pear cake and whipping up loaf after loaf of braided challah. That's what I'd like to be doing right now, too, but I've found that baking isn't a treat when it's squeezed into my busy weekends these days. What cooking time I do have goes to meal prep, which isn't exactly festive, but it is a part of keeping me well fed through the DI, which has been a source of strength, ...
It hasn't been a smooth season for me as far as body image goes. I started grappling with dysmorphia back in the fall. The discomfort has quieted down since then, but it hasn't gone away. The last few months are the most consistently uncomfortable I've felt in my body in a good many years.I've been feeling the sensations without acting on them when it comes to my food intake—in fact, with the demands of the DI (commuting, lots of hours on my feet rounding and ...

“Be love” is one of those expressions that you might have come across in any number of places, from yoga studios to self-help and wellness titles. It’s one of most important of my five ED recovery affirmations, but I feel a little funny writing about it, because I don’t have much to say that relates…
Not too long ago I chatted with a client who told me, “I’m realizing more and more that I need to break my rules, because I made them all up.” She delivered the words straightforwardly, and I didn’t have the feeling that she expected a big reaction from me. Still, I nearly fell out of…
