Summary

Anti-diet coach Anne-Sophie Reinhardt shares why she turned to food for comfort in childhood, how she quickly spiraled from dieting to an eating disorder in adolescence, why "willpower" isn't actually a good thing, how she discovered the body-positive movement and healed her relationship with food, why trauma is such a trigger for disordered eating behaviors, and lots more.

Anne-Sophie Reinhardt is an anti-diet coach and body confidence expert who wants you to know one thing: your weight does NOT determine your worth. A firm believer that you don’t (and shouldn’t) have to wait to start living because of your weight, Anne-Sophie works with women around the globe to help them escape diet prison and make eating fun again (because life is a lot more delicious when food doesn’t rule your life).

Now a Certified Eating Psychology Coach and Martha Beck Life Coach, Anne-Sophie struggled with disordered eating, yo-yo dieting and bingeing and purging for over 14 years. After a serious health scare, Anne-Sophie entered recovery and launched her own recovery-focused blog, later named one of the Best 25 Personal Growth Blogs 2015 by the Institute for the Psychology of Eating. Since then, she’s helped countless clients write new rules around food, self love, body image and life in general and has shared her revolutionary anti-diet message in top publications like She Takes on the World, Tiny Buddha and Huffington Post.

And when Anne-Sophie’s not helping clients fall madly in love with their own bodies (and lives) you’ll likely find her enjoying her own by devouring a delicious book, swimming with adorable her son, savoring a massive ice cream cone (sans guilt) or (most likely) catching up on old episodes of Grey’s Anatomy.

0:40.3	This is the first episode of 2017, so I hope your year is off to a good start, but I know
0:45.9	that this is a pretty difficult time of year for anyone who's struggling in your relationship
0:50.5	with food and who is trying to avoid getting back on the diet roller coaster, because there's
0:57.5	so much temptation around you, right, at all times right now, and temptation in terms of
1:02.5	try this.
1:03.5	This is the diet that's going to work, or this isn't a diet, it's a lifestyle change,
1:07.2	or this is a healthy wholesome plant-based plan that has nothing to do with dieting, but
1:12.8	in the past, you might lose weight.
1:14.8	There's all these insidious messages now about different things that are going to change
1:19.8	your life and make you healthy, quote-unquote, and they sell themselves as not being a diet.
1:25.4	That's really the culture we live in right now, is that diets don't want to be marketed
1:29.7	as diets, and so they're going to say all kinds of great marketing gimmicks to get you
1:35.0	to think they're not a diet, but they're actually a diet.
