b'I am so excited to share with you my guest interview with Isabel Foxen Duke. I have to admit to being a little bit of a fangirl of Isabel and her work. I have struggled through a lot of the stuff that Isabel is so brilliant with working with women on like weight-cycling, food issues, and emotional eating. She helps women stop feeling crazy around food. So, are you always on the diet wagon or waaaay the f**k off it? I myself have zero neural pathways around healthy thinking or belief systems as far as food goes. Sure, I\\u2019ve learned a few things through therapy and from doing the work, but I still am really early in my own weight recovery journey.\\xa0I can guess that many of my listeners are in a similar boat. And that\\u2019s why I invited Isabel to the show. She shares her expertise on letting go of the struggle with food and also offers great insight on weight recovery and its effect on relationship dynamics.\\nShow Highlights\\n\\nIsabel shares openly about her experience with diet culture starting at the age of 3 years old (yes, you read that correctly - she was put on a diet at the age of 3) (5:42 seconds)\\n\\nLetting go of the struggle and how Isabel came to the work she is doing now (21:22)\\n\\nSurrendering to \\u2018bottoming out\\u2019 and understanding that eating a cookie when you are sad is a-okay (28:55)\\n\\nThe delusion of control and how recovery is the process of surrendering over and over again (29:27)\\n\\nWhat surrendering actually looks and feels like (32:00)\\n\\nWeight restoration, understanding that gaining weight when you stop dieting is completely healthy and recovering from post-diet trauma (33:31)\\n\\nShame over clothing sizes, body image issues and cutting through your own B.S. rationalizations (45:19)\\n\\nHealthy weight gain post-recovery, its effect on relationships, and being with someone who does not support your recovery (47:20)\\n\\nDealing with family and friends who you can\\u2019t divorce and do not understand your weight recovery journey (1:03:20)\\n\\nLearn More About Isabel:\\nIsabel Foxen Duke is the Creator of Stop Fighting Food \\u2014 a free video training program for women who want to "stop feeling crazy around food."
