As a mentally ill hot girl who has struggled with unrealistic beauty standards since the womb and could use a (theoretical but maybe literal) lobotomy, therapist and author Alegra Kastens intertwines her clinical wisdom and lived experience to gab about books of all genres. Not a bookworm? Have no fear (or do because #anxiety): she has done the reading for you. All you have to do is tune in, Lobotomommies!

Intentional Weight Loss After ED Recovery - My Journey

I am joined by my very own dietician Gabby Barreto to talk about my journey with intentional weight loss after eating disorder recovery. For so long, I felt trapped by both diet culture and anti-diet culture. I thought I had two choices: extreme restriction and an ED or staying in a body I didn’t feel good in because I’ve had an ED in the past. Finding a dietician to help me lose weight in a non-disordered way (it’s possible) has changed my entire life. I no longer believe it’s anti-feminist, bad, or always unhealthy to pursue weight loss. Every person is unique. People with eating disorders histories are not a monolith. If you’re about nuance, this is for you.
