Hey everyone, it's Dan here with a reheat for you, and this one is an all-time favorite episode amongst Borkful listeners. It's called Katie's Year in Recovery, and it followed a woman named

Katie Hacker over the course of 2017. And this reheat actually came at the request of a listener

in Seattle. Hi, my name is Carthaca Schunker. I'd like you all to take a certain episode out

of the deep freezer. I believe this was the first episode I ever listened to of the Sporkful.

And at the time, I didn't realize this, but I was in the deep end of disordered eating.

And this particular episode was about a woman who had also gone through the same experience.

I think you've since done an update on that one,

but it's one that has been very close to home and important to me

and has started me on the journey of listening

and trusting the sparkful to represent food and the value

that we associate with it and all of that.

So thank you and have a good day.

And before we begin, I do want to make it clear

that this episode covers some difficult and potentially triggering topics.

It includes detailed discussions about eating disorders,

restrictive eating behaviors, and body image issues.

So please take care while listening.

And make sure you stay tuned to the end because you'll hear an update from Katie from 2020 in which she tells us more about how her recovery evolved a few years

in. As always, if there's a Sporkful episode, you want us to reheat. Drop me a line at hello atsporkful.com.

Thanks so much and enjoy.

Hi, Dan. This is Katie from Virginia. I have been in recovery for the past seven months from a restrictive eating disorder. So in the new year, I would like to eat a little bit of everything. I want to eat hot dogs and ice cream. I want to have a donut. I haven't had a donut in five years,
