This Week on One Body to Love we're diving into one of the most misunderstood aspects of wellness culture: the gray space between healthy eating and disordered eating. If you’ve ever skipped meals to “make up” for eating later, felt guilty for breaking food rules, or wondered why eating feels so emotionally loaded, I hope this episode will speak to you. I tell the story of a client who was stuck in a cycle of shame and obsession, and walk you through the differences between disordered eating and clinical eating disorders, and why both deserve compassion, healing, and support.

In this episode, you will hear:
• 00:23 - The question so many women silently ask: Is my eating disordered, or just disciplined?
• 01:25 - A real-life client story: how shame and food rules quietly took over.
• 02:45 - The continuum of eating behaviors and where disordered eating fits.
• 04:30 - “Normal” habits that are actually harmful.
• 05:45 - When disordered eating becomes a clinical diagnosis and how diet culture blurs the line.
• 08:30 - Gentle reflection questions to help you check in with your food relationship.
• 10:38 - This week’s journaling prompt and a reminder that you are not alone.

Weekly Journaling Prompt:
What food rules have I been following, consciously or unconsciously? When did I first start believing that my body needed to be controlled? What would it feel like to nourish myself without guilt or conditions?
