Summary

I know that the title of this podcast is long. And I wanted to make it 20 times longer, because we covered so much great stuff in this episode. This week, I’m talking to Kelsey Miller. She’s a senior writer at Refinery 29, creator of The Anti-Diet Project, and author of the new book, Big Girl: How I Gave Up Dieting And Got A Life.

Kelsey and I talk about what it’s truly like inside the head of someone with disordered eating, what led her to start the Anti-Diet Project, what “giving yourself permission to eat” actually means and what it doesn’t, the traumatic childhood experience that shaped the way she saw her body, how she hopes speaking out about this experience might open the door for others, and why she doesn’t exactly believe in the idea of closure.

Here’s Kelsey:

0:31.1	It's the one part podcast, and I'm bringing you lessons in next level inspiration
0:35.6	before we get to today's guest.
0:39.1	Just a little shout out.
0:40.2	Today's sponsor is Thrive Market.
0:43.7	Have you been there yet?
0:45.0	It's a really beautiful website.
0:47.4	And if you haven't been there, you can kind of think of it as Costco and Whole Foods,
0:53.8	having a little one-night stand come together, having a cute little baby
0:59.0	that this analogy is going the wrong place.
1:03.9	But it really is like Costco because you get to save 25 to 50% off food, home, personal care, beauty products.
1:14.1	And it's like Whole Foods because it's the kind of products that you find at Whole Foods.
1:19.8	I love buying. I enjoy life chocolate chips on here because they are definitely less expensive

1:29.2	So you can sign up. It's less than $5 a month. And my favorite part about this is that when you signed up for a membership on Thrive, Thrive donates one membership to a low-income American family, which is pretty awesome. If you're interested,
1:46.8	head over to jessica menon.com. In the show notes, there's going to be a link where you can sign up
