#124: Accidental Disordered Eating & Healing from the Binge-Restrict Cycle

The Full Plate Podcast with Abbie Attwood, MS

Many of us stumble into a disordered relationship with food unknowingy -- perhaps thinking we were being "healthy", following a doctor's dieting advice, or having just always had a restrictive mentality from our upbringing.

In this revisited episode, Abbie sits down with one of her incredible clients, Dory, to talk about accidental disordered eating, the binge-restrict cycle, and how to keep going when everyone around you seems to be stuck in diet culture.

This episode was the first time Abbie had a client on the pod. It's so important that we hear diverse stories and the real talk from people who are "in it".

Dory speaks about her experience with a lifetime of dieting, why she used to see it as "healthy", how she always thought that she was just a binge eater and had to use "will power", the diet that ended her dieting, her experience with healing through community and group coaching, and so much more.

If you enjoy hearing from folks who are in the messy middle, please let us know. You can always email the show at [e-mail] with compassionate feedback, questions, or thoughts.
