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