Body Shame and Suicide

At the end of my last episode you left me in a dark place. How did I come out the other side, and what did I learn? Find out in today's episode.

Emerging from the Dark

I don't normally dwell on some of my less happy childhood experiences. Today I'm making an exception. It's not easy for me to share these personal stories, but it's important that I do, so that you get to know me a bit better. I'd also love it if hearing what happened to me made others a bit kinder, so that other plus-size youngsters don't experience what I did.

My Story Part 1: The Secret Diary of a Plus-size Child

Do you eat alone or with others? Many people are aware that nutrition is not a level playing field, but did you know that eating alone could have a detrimental effect on the nutritional quality of your diet? Today I'm asking why, and considering what we can do about it.

Diet culture can contribute to a disordered relationship with food, stress around food and eating and negative self-image. Worse still, the vast majority of dieters will ultimately fail. And this is the culture that Weight Watchers seeks to inflict on our children. Today I talk about why I'm so angry about this, and what to do about it.

It's my first day of adventure into the wonderful world of podcasting. Here I introduce myself, explain what I do and give you my take on what it means to be a body positive nutritional therapist.

What is Body Positive Nutrition?

My podcast is for you if you care about eating well to feel your best at any size, body positivity and the nutritional aspects of mental health. I'll be sharing lots of stories, fun and laughter as well as a bit of vulnerability to keep it real. If you'd like me to comment on any nutrition stories in the news I can do that too.
