68: Demi's Real Story “I feel guilty if my child isn’t eating perfectly”


Listen Later

In this week’s Real Story, we meet Demi.  And we are SO glad to have met her. 

Demi is currently raising her 15 month old son, all while recovering from an eating disorder that has controlled her life for over 15 years. Big stuff.

 After years of battling bulimia, anorexia, and orthorexia, she decided to seek help to ensure a healthier narrative for little boy. But as many women can relate too, body image issues often intensify during pregnancy and unwanted comments can bring a constant reminder back to appearance and weight.

Challenging diet rules and trusting our bodies is another crucial part of the journey. And now it is time for Demi to make meals and food choices for her son. Lyndi helps  with ways to break down food rules without overwhelming the system too much.

Spoiler: One rule at a time.

Social media may paint a different picture, but feeding our kids is not a competition, but a journey of learning and teaching.

Raising children is hard enough. As parents let’s celebrate the small victories along the way.

📘💫BOOK TIP: If you want to stop handing down disordered eating like a family heirloom and raise kids who have a healthy relationship with food and their bodies - read Lyndi's book Your Weight is Not the Problem. It's been ranked the #1 Women’s Health book on Amazon for 10 weeks straight and is probably the best investment you’ll make in your health for under $30.
