This episode is brought to you by my online course, Your Step-by-Step Guide to PCOS and Food Peace. Sign up now to get on the waitlist for the next enrollment period in January 2018, and receive my FREE road map: Your First 3 Steps Toward Food Peace with PCOS. You CAN make peace with food even with PCOS and I want to show you how.

Episode's Key Points:

  • Making peace with food is RADICAL! It's truly a political act, and this can cause issues within our family relationships.
  • Health is about FLEXIBILITY!!
  • Dr. Carolyn Ross joins us to talk about the family, and how to manage family members who try to be our food police.
  • Food rules contribute to the development of eating disorders, especially if there's a perceived "weight problem."
  • Make sure not to go too long without eating throughout the day, and add some movement into your life to enhance how your body feels!
  • Intercept questions about your food choices and your body size by making some healthy boundaries. Let them know you're working on things with a doctor or dietitian, and leave it at that.
  • You're allowed to be angry! Feel your feelings, and don't feel like you have to push them down to appease family members.
  • Remember, many of us struggle with internalized fatphobia. Be sure to address this with a treatment provider so that you can work through it!
  • Our weight research is super biased!! You can be healthy at any size... it depends on our BEHAVIORS, not our weight.
  • Research shows that the healthiest weight you can be is "slightly overweight!!"
  • The medical profession changes slowly and shifts in the medical community take time. The status quo will change eventually!
  • Permission promotes health, and shame only brings us down.

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

Hi and welcome to episode 98 of the Love Food Podcast. I am Julie Duffy Dillon,

1:25.2

registered dietitian, and partner on your food peace journey. I'm so glad you're here. Thank you for connecting today. And as you make your steps on your

food peace journey today, I'm wondering what kind of support you're getting? What kind of

1:34.7

support are you getting at home, at work, with your friends, with your family? Are they with you

1:41.3

on it? I would be surprised if every single person in your life is really looking in the same direction as you and I are on the food peace journey. I say that because honestly, making peace with food is radical and it goes against so many cultural norms that it ends up really getting rooted in things like

2:03.8

feminism, social justice. And not that it was intentionally political, but it becomes that.

2:10.8

And it becomes quite a shift in the dynamics for many people and their family. I have a letter today from someone who has made

2:19.6

many, many steps on her food peace journey and is finally connecting to the wisdom that her body

has been trying to tell her all along. Yet, you know, there's this big old butt. She's not

getting the support she needs and finds herself

2:36.1

having to explain and really stand up for her way of recovering. Can you relate to that?
