Hello and welcome to The Binge Eating Dietitian Podcast!  

In this episode, my past client Mindy and I dive deeper into the questions from last week's episode (listen here) about what a "healthy weight" means.

If you haven’t heard Mindy’s story of recovery from disordered eating and period loss yet - listen to these past episodes!: Episode 53: Mindy’s story , Episode 61: Finding Your "Healthy Weight" - Live Q&A

Here are the questions we answer:

1. What defines a “healthy weight” to you?
2. What if we aren’t at a “healthy weight”?
3. Should we all strive to be as lean as possible, without losing your period?
4. What if your goal weight is not your “healthy weight”?
5. How do you know you’re at your “healthy weight” or set point weight?

Elena and Mindy’s top tips to finding your healthiest and happiest weight.

1. Be honest with yourself.
2. Redefine what health and “healthy weight” means to you.
3. Start giving your body what it's asking for.
4. Ask yourself where the fear of weight gain is showing up in all aspects of your life.
5. Ask yourself what it would look like if you ate with zero food rules and full permission.
