Summary

(Disclaimer: This episode is a re-run. It was originally published on September 11, 2022)

"To truly pursue recovery, you do have to make changes, there's no way that you can keep interacting with life, the way that you are right now with food and your body the way you are, you do need to let go."

Kelly Uchima opens up about her need to change her relationship to food and exercise. Swept up in the fitspo community, advice, tips, and "best practices" fueled her eating disorder. As the fitness community validated her body insecurities, she became more and more obsessed with measuring her food and exercise. Now in a strong and active recovery, she has a lot of wisdom to share on her journey from fitspo to self-lovespo.
