I am joined by my very own dietician Gabby Barreto to talk about my journey with intentional weight loss after eating disorder recovery. For so long, I felt trapped by both diet culture and anti-diet culture. I thought I had two choices: extreme restriction and an ED or staying in a body I didn’t feel good in because I’ve had an ED in the past. Finding a dietician to help me lose weight in a non-disordered way (it’s possible) has changed my entire life. I no longer believe it’s anti-feminist, bad, or always unhealthy to pursue weight loss. Every person is unique. People with eating disorders histories are not a monolith. If you’re about nuance, this is for you.
