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!!!!

Been listening for a few weeks now and I’ve gained so much information on how to begin recovery. The fact that she’s been through it and her guests have been through it and have made it to the other side of recovery gives me hope that I can too one day. She truly knows what she’s talking about....Read full review »

I’m not great with expressing things through words, however I must say that I love this podcast. Cara is so well spoken and encouraging to those with a struggle of eating disorders
