Summary

Diet culture is everywhere. NPR reported that in 2021, 50% of all New Year's resolutions in the U.S. were based on fitness, 48% were resolutions to lose weight and 39% of resolutions were to improve one’s diet. We spend over $30 billion on diet products annually and an estimated 45 million Americans diet every year. 85% of women have, at one point in their life, been on some kind of a diet, struggled with body image, or both. And many women who struggle with alcohol also have a complicated relationship with food and their bodies. Our universal immersion in diet culture can also unconsciously sabotage our efforts to stop drinking. When removing alcohol many women worry that they’ll ‘transfer their addiction to food or sugar’ or try to diet at the same time they are working to stop drinking. I invited Isabel Foxen to come on the podcast to talk about diet culture, the socialization of women to believe that being thin equals being healthy, attractive, disciplined and worthy, and the impact of it all. Isabel is a thought leader in intuitive eating and body positive movement and the creator of Stop Fighting Food, a video training series and masterclass for women who want to stop feeling crazy around food. After years of trying to overcome binge eating disorder through weight normative approaches, Isabel discovered the critical role of acceptance, surrender, and social inquiry into binge eating and the recovery process, and has been sharing her insights with clients and professionals ever since.

0:10.2	I'm Casey McGuire Davidson, ex-red wine girl turned life coach, helping women create lives they love without alcohol.
0:18.4	But it wasn't that long ago that I was anxious, overwhelmed, and drinking a bottle
0:23.1	of wine a night to unwind. I thought that wine was the glue, holding my life together,
0:28.6	helping me cope with my kids, my stressful job, and my busy life. I didn't realize that my love
0:35.0	affair with drinking was making me more anxious and less able to manage
0:39.5	my responsibilities. In this podcast, my goal is to teach you the tried and true secrets of creating

1:22.6	If you've been thinking about taking a break from drinking but keep pushing it off, this is your
1:29.1	sign to do something different. I know what it's like to wake up again thinking, why did I
1:35.1	drink last night? I wasn't even planning to. Or to tell yourself, I'll take a break next week,
1:41.3	or after that next big event, or maybe next month. But here's the thing,
1:46.8	waiting doesn't make it easier. What does? A game plan that actually works. That's why I want
