Say goodbye to the food police and hello to peace. Welcome to the Love Food podcast hosted by

Dietitian and food behavior expert Julie Duffy Dillon. This authentically engineered series is in

the form of a love letter welcoming you to reconnect with food. Now pour a cup of coffee or a

margarita and let's begin.

Hi and welcome to episode 200 of a love food podcast. I am Julie Duffy Dillon, registered dietitian, and partner on your

food piece journey. I am so glad you're here. Thank you for connecting today. And today is a special

day because it's this fabulous rounded number, number 200. And I am just amazed. I'm just floored that we are still

connecting in this podcast. I started it back in 2016 and I didn't really know what I was doing.

I just knew that I wanted to talk to you about your complicated relationship with food.

And I had been sitting across people for years and years exploring their relationship with food.

And so I just wanted to talk to more people about it.

And I have to say, you really have supported me and help this show grow into so much more than I ever

thought it could grow into. And it also has helped me to have different opportunities that I never

thought I would have. Like, I've been able to speak at conferences and interview people that I

never would have a reason to interview before.

And, you know, I just really appreciate your support. I don't want to spend so much time,

you know, just reminiscing in this way. But I want you to know whether you're a new listener

or you've been around since January of 2016 or somewhere in

between, I so appreciate you.

And in particular, I appreciate that you trust me enough to help you sift through your

relationship with food.

I think it's a sacred relationship.
