Hi Reader,

Maybe it started with cutting back on sugar or adding more vegetables. At first, you felt responsible and like you were taking good care of yourself.

And then somewhere along the way, without a clear line you could point to, "healthy eating" started to feel like something else. The rules piled up, you couldn't stop thinking about food, and you stopped feeling like you could trust yourself around it, too.

This is often how disordered eating begins, and it's a lot more common than people realize, especially since the pursuit of healthy eating is so highly praised in our culture.

I wrote a new post about two common ways "healthy eating" can become something that isn't actually healthy anymore. There's also a set of questions you can ask yourself if any of this feels familiar.

If you read it and something resonates, keep in mind that you don't need a diagnosis, a certain body size, or to feel like things have gotten "bad enough" before you reach out for support.

It's part of the reason I'm expanding my practice to help people who are struggling with their relationship with food. If you've been thinking about working with someone one on one, now's a good time to reach out. You can learn more here or just reply to this email and we'll go from there.

Warmly,

Stephanie

P.S. If a little self-reflection feels more like where you're at right now, my free Food Peace email series is a good next step.
