My life
I remember the day I was asked how my relationship to food was by one of my friends. “Relationship to food? What do you mean?” I asked. I never looked at my food as something I had emotions or connections to. I’m thin privileged and I never really had to “diet” but I did barely eat. Not because of my weight but just cause when I’m depressed I don’t have an appetite and when I do I splurge on carbs to not feel hungry. This question made me thing of watching eat pray love and thinking I don’t crave food that way or remember when I felt so happy from eating something yummy. Food was food. I ate to stay alive. Then I met Cara and started listening to her podcast. I watched her cooking videos on insta and realized wow. I don’t have a unhealthy relationship to food, I don’t have one at all! I started to really feel into my body and listen to what it was asking me for. I started check in with myself after having a meal. I noticed which foods made me lethargic and which gave me energy. What flavors I liked most and which I didn’t. I realized I could take myself out on dates to have yummy dinners where I just focused on what I was having and journal and allow myself to feel satisfied. I also learned that I didn’t have to eat to survive but I could live to eat without fear of it changing my body or even worry about eating the wrong foods for my health. Even when I was depressed I learned what I like to eat to love myself. Now I’m creating meals at home and working out and learning what foods really really make me feel good. I’m so glad I have had this podcast and Caras insta throughput this process because I feel like I was able to build a relationship a healthy way. Whenever I had a body image issue arise I knew to just acknowledge it. Love it. And choose powerfully without guilt or shame and blame. Which in turn I found myself making healthy loving decisions about what to eat and even enjoy the sweet stuff too. Thank you Cara!!!!

I am in tears after listening to episode one! I totally used food and body manipulation as a coping mechanism growing up. I had a very dysfunctional family and that was my one source of control. I finally learned this 2 years ago. Now as a mother with two daughters, I am always trying to fuel my...Read full review »
