This is a question I get almost every single day: How did you learn to accept your body after gaining all this weight in your recovery? It was not easy seeing my body change so drastically. During the first 2 months of my recovery, I put on about a third of my body weight. I talk all about the physical side effects of this weight gain in this article, especially when it came to my digestion. However, when it comes to the mental side effects of that weight gain, it is a whole other sto[...]
The episode everyone keeps asking me about is finally out!I am interviewing my husband Shaun and we are having a very juicy and honest conversation about body image, diet culture for men, supporting a loved one through an eating disorder, mental health, sex and much more! Some of my favorite topics we covered - The “movie-version” story of how we met and why we didn’t start dating until 18 months later - My rock-bottom moment and eating disorder from his point of view - Men and diet[...]
I used to be team all-or-nothing. Either I would eat “clean” and train 6 days a week - sometimes twice a day - for months on end OR I would “fall off the wagon” and use this as an opportunity to eat unbelievable amounts of foods I wouldn’t normally allow myself. The binge-restrict cycle was my life for many years. To the outside world, I was the “healthy girl” that was so “dedicated”. Behind closed doors, I was isolating myself, hating my body and eating myself s[...]

Okay. Now, raise your hand if you loved this “lifestyle” or diet at the beginning until the first “cheat” happened and you either binge ate or overate on something that was "off limits". I am over here raising my hand at all of this. We think that the diet[...]
Hey you! Thank you for joining me today in this Q&A podcast session.I decided to do this episode, because I get a lot of questions in my Instagram DM folder and E-mail inbox and a lot of them are very similar in nature. It makes sense, because when we go through challenges with food and our body, we tend to think we’re alone in all this, but we actually never are. Our journeys are usually more similar than we think. The Questions I answer: What do you do on days where you “feel[...]
binge eat·ing (noun) = the consumption of large quantities of food in a short period of time, typically as part of an eating disorder.

In this article, I want to give you my Top 3 Tips on how I ended the cycle of binge eating and found freedom and peace with food, so you can understand: …why your body drives you to eat large quantities of food …th[...]
If you are anything like me, you are overwhelmed with all the nutrition- and health information that is accessible. There are countless articles, websites and social media accounts that put out information on how to eat healthy and live a healthy life. Most of them are contradicting each other. I would change my opinion on “the perfect diet” on a weekly basis. There is just too much information to navigate. Every day, I would come across suggestions like: “How to eat Keto for optim[...]
