Remember that time in your favorite restaurant where you sat on your hands and started at the bread basket, desperately trying not to eat one slice but silently begging for just one bite?
Or that time you ate so much Nutella that you felt nauseous but because the day was ruined already, you ended up eating a whole bag of chocolate chip cookies and jelly beans on top of it?
Or that time you binged on so many different foods that you can’t even remember what it was and all you know is afterwards you were lying on your bed in the fetal position, bawling inconsolably?
I do. I’ve done that plenty of times. And so has Isabel Foxen Duke who helps women stop being crazy around food and joins me for this episode of Your Life Your Success.
We talk about the more than unglamorous life of being obsessed with food and dieting, the process of wanting to control your weight without feeling like a crazy person, loving yourself to lose weight and then finally coming to a place where you stop giving a s**t about what you look like.
Isabel shares how body image work helped her break free and finally begin living her life.
She shares her view on the “hunger and fulness diet” and why she sees this way of eating as just another diet.
We talk about the fat acceptance movement, fat studies, body diversity and the fortune that diversity exists.
Isabel shares that freedom means not having to “be” anything and being totally OK with it and how she constantly works on relinquishing shame.

Thank you, Sue. Isabel is amazing. 🙂
You are awesome. Great information. I have a friend who I REALLY want to help. I have my own issues, but she had a lap band and it didn’t work. Now she is heavier than before the band. She’s 40 years old, lives at home, has been to inpatient therapy…but I feel she is so sad. How can I help????
Be there for her and encourage her in every way without making it about the weight. She is struggling and the weight is besides the point. There is so much more underneath the “weight” that needs healing. And direct her toward this blog. 😉
