Mothers Day is weird. Lot of expectations and sometimes sadness but sometimes also just a good ole barbecue. But nonetheless, it can be a difficult day for many of us. My mom, who lived with disordered eating for most of my life. She died when I was young and decided that it would end with her.

People pleaser? Pushover? Can't say no? Find out more about the relationship between people pleasing and binge eating.

She Couldn’t Say No, but She Binged While Everyone Slept *Sarah was a self-proclaimed pushover. She came to me a few years ago to deal with a pretty intense binge and restrict cycle. She would eat “properly” and “healthily” in front of people, showing them how “good” she was. But late ...

The desire to be more confident is one that people come in to therapy for a lot. They tell me that they lack confidence and tell that they need to build more of it. But confidence is overrated. Read why: https://bingeeatingtherapy.com/how-to-be-more-confident/ ‎

So many of my clients come in with this pressure to be better.
Routines. Products. Tracking everything.
And still—none of it feels like enough.

In this week’s post, I talk about the pressure to optimize and what happens when we stop trying to fix ourselves.

What's been on people's minds regarding body image, food, diets, GLP1s- disordered eating, and the changes that have been occurring since "vitamin O" became a thing. I know that a lot of my clients are feeling it and having big emotions and discomfort from it- and I'm wondering how it might be affecting others' recovery.

Good morning Girl Moms - people who are around girls 13-18 and moms who might have friends with teenage girls in Marin. I have been asked to present at the Marin Teen Girls conference that will be taking place a week from tomorrow (Sunday March 3rd) from 9am - 3pm. It is open to all girls in 8th-12th grade in Marin County. I've attached the site to register as well as the roster for this years speakers. My specific panel will be on social media as it pertains to Fit Tok and diet culture with a goal of learning how to recognize and disseminate diet culture and how to be an ally for those who are feeling persecuted due to their weight or body shape and how to tune out media hype about how to "get fit." Being healthy, exercising and self care is not problematic, but going to the other side of that (constant body checking, food restriction, trying to change your genetics through diet and exercise and commenting on other peoples bodies) are harmful to those who do it and those who are affected by it. The goal is to help recognize when social media is having you doubt your own sense of your bodies needs, having you behave in ways that are not compatible with your body and how to head an eating disorder off at a pass. It's also to help those who might be flirting with Eating Disorders and what to do if you have a friend who might be developing one. It's also how to intervene when someone is speaking poorly about another persons body (ie: she shouldn't be wearing that, she's too fat...) etc. and how to neutralize the word fat. Being fat doesn't make someone bad, wrong or lazy and fat is not a mean word - it's an adjective the same as tall. And if we're being honest I'll probably find a way to blame the patriarchy for most of it. But subtly. I promise that your daughters won't leave my session with shaved heads and bras on fire (but if they decide to stop shaving their legs and armpits and start wearing cowrie shell necklaces -just blame the 90's.

Please forward to anyone you think might be interested. Or anyone you know who has a daughter.
