  • Didn’t know I needed this

    Wow. As someone who has been on a long journey I can say that I thought I had a clear head about food and body image until my weight started to go up and my anxiety skyrocketed. Fate led me to this podcast when I searched accepting weight gain on YouTube after one last failed attempt to restrict. This show has brought so many hidden beliefs to light and has been the most inspiring and validating thing to hear. I’m hooked and plan to listen to the whole archive. I can honestly say 4 episodes in I... more

  • This entire podcast is amazing

    I can't say enough good things about the lovely and highly intelligent women who do this podcast. I've been plagued by diet speak my entire lifetime and it is a breath of fresh air to hear genuine people discuss food consumption and psychology with kindness and compassion instead of shaming and judgement.

    Thrilled y’all are back!! This show has helped me immensely in the past couple years, and Sarah and Stef both offer such amazing perspectives and thoughts on every topic within the disordered eating “world” along with nuance and empathy for the individual’s experience.

    Sarah and Stef, your conversations have caused me to reflect on my own life and relationship with food and my body and truly provided a catalyst for me to begin changing my beliefs and actions after years of struggling with an ea... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

211. But I'm Not Restricting! Why Am I Still Bingeing?
Q: But for somebody else who's eating enough and all this other stuff is happening, like what does a person do there in short of eating more?
Sarah recommends exploring whether mechanical eating and deliberately adding a little more food could help, while also examining judgments and practicing self-compassion. Stefanie adds that urges may relate to agency, emotional discomfort, or experiences beyond food, which can be explored over time.
211. But I'm Not Restricting! Why Am I Still Bingeing?
Q: What might you say to somebody then who hears that and can see that that's probably what's going on for them, but that's so terrifying and scary?
Stefanie says that recognizing the pattern is progress, but understanding it does not mean someone must immediately make a drastic change. A recovery process centered on safety may involve sitting with awareness rather than rushing into an overwhelming all-in approach.
A Somatic Practice for Feeling Full But Not Finished; Q&A: Body Image Overstimulation while traveling
Q: Is hating my size and being reminded how big I am and feeling like I take up too much space still about body image?
It's important to consider sensory components and how overstimulation can trigger body image distress.
Was All-In Recovery As Easy As It Looked? with Stefanie Michele
Q: What's the most sensible thing you advise clients to do, but they frequently don't do it?
Clients often struggle to establish anchor meals and may resist necessary changes due to lack of readiness or safety.
209. Navigating Loss of Identity (not like a Mean Girl); Q&A: How to cope with diet culture talk in the break room
Q: How do we navigate talk of weight loss, weight gain, being good, diets, diets in disguise, calories, lauding of self-punishing behaviors like over-exercise and skipping meals, etc.?
It's challenging because our logical mind learns about diet culture while societal values reinforce those harmful beliefs. Avoiding toxic conversations while managing expectations can be tough in environments filled with diet talk.
