\\u201cWhen my relationship with food improved and I started to heal I didn\\u2019t let go of the running. I noticed that it was crucial to me feeling more relaxed, centered, more in touch with how I actually felt inside my body. I used intuitive eating as part of my recovery from chronic dieting, which is all about listening and honoring and respecting the senses that you get from your body and I was able to use running as a way \\u2026 it really calmed me, reassured me.\\u201d

Amelia Sherry, dietitian, mother, runner, recovered chronic dieter.

Like so many women, Amelia Sherry started her first diet in middle school. Unlike many women, she says, she turned her obsession with being as thin and fit as could be into a full-time occupation pursuing a career working as a fitness writer and editor at several leading women\\u2019s magazines.\\xa0

Eventually, she returned to school to earn a graduate degree in public health nutrition and to become a registered dietitian nutritionist \\u2014 in retrospect, she says, this was another thinly veiled pursuit to figure out optimal ways to control her weight.

\\u201cBecoming a mom in 2011 was the wake-up call that triggered me to get a grip on my chaotic and dysfunctional relationship with food for good.\\u201d

As a dietitian, Amelia eventually focused in on pediatrics and now holds a clinical position in pediatric endocrinology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in NYC.\\xa0She\\u2019s also the author of the new book, \\u201cDiet-proof Your Daughter: A Mother\\u2019s Guide to Raising Girls Who Have Happy, Healthy Relationships with Food and Body.\\u201d This book will be available this October, but Amelia is offering a free digital copy when you visit her Nourish Her site.
