episode 149: the road from severe disordered eating to self trust around food with alyssa hoat
Today’s episode of The Diet Diaries is an extra special one. I’m talking with a former client, Alyssa Hoat, who shares her story of recovering from severe disordered eating and self destructive negative body image. I am incredibly grateful for Alyssa’s candor and vulnerability throughout our conversation, because it will help every single person listening feel seen and know that you are never alone.
This is what you’ll hear us talk through:
Alyssa’s history with depression
How her disordered eating began
How Alyssa got stuck in the yo yo diet cycle and how she got out
The biggest transformation she had through her work in coaching
How people’s comments on her weight loss fueled her disordered eating
Why she believed she would always feel obsessed with food and losing weight
Where she’s at currently; what’s going well and what still feels like work
If you have ever struggled with stressful thoughts around eating, body image, weight gain, weight loss and felt totally trapped by food, please listen to this episode and hear that you are not alone and that change is possible.
