Just found you via Boyce Watkins channel. I've been trying to lose weight and change my lifestyle- especially the eating part and I can relate to emotional eating – will be checking out your recipes
This was really awesome, thank you so much for doing this. I really learned a lot!
Great video! I struggled with anorexia and bulimia in high school, and I can attest to the difficulties, shame, pain, loneliness and self hatred that comes with binge eating and other compulsive behaviors. I can honestly say that changing over to a healthy vegan lifestyle absolutely saved me from this. At first, I was interested in veganism as a way to be restrictive, as I was starting to heal from the eating disorder and eat, but I was still dealing with the mental struggle of fearing weight gain. As I got into researching veganism, I became more interested in the political (animal and environmental rights) aspects of it and the nutrition. 5 years later, I think about food positively, and I am never concerned with my weight (which stays the same without trying, yay set weight!) I have also become involved with animal rights communities and I love cooking vegan food and eating it! I believe that it is one of the main reasons that I have not relapsed into these compulsive behaviors and thoughts. I have come to see food in a completely different way, and I feel more connected to it, and how it affects my health and well-being, communities and environments. Not saying this is for everyone or anything, but I just wanted to share my experience in case it was helpful for anyone! Food is fuel!
I devour anything I see from Isabel Foxen Duke – she really knows what she's talking about, I think. Great interview subject selection

Really found this video so interesting. I have a bad relationship with food and I either restrict myself a lot and then binge and then feel so guilty about it. When it comes to going to social events I don't know how to restrict myself from unhealthy foods. I also feel like I am never satisfied and am never full. Am I suppose to be full ever? Although I'm not overweight I would love to lose weight. Recently became a vegetarian so hoping that will better my relationship with food.
I have struggled with emotional eating, secret eating, and binge eating disorder for as long as I can remember. I've only recently started to get a handle on it and continued to seek healing. Thank you for introducing us to Isabel. I will definitely be checking her resources out!
Thank you for this!!! So wonderful to see women supporting each other in this way.
Wow, she's amazing. Talks like a well trained and experienced licensed counselor, which is a great thing.
we said "painful" at the same time. Thank you for sharing this. The more I hear from Isabel foxen Duke, the less I binge. Thank you for freeing me from the dieting/binging cycle.
It's true why do we care what the hell other people eat and look like. We are not them!
Also true that there is health at 'every' size not just 'large' size. if you eat and move healthily and you binged but you stayed small. everyone is different!
omg this is so HELPFUP THANK YOU!
You are so beautiful on the inside and out!! Keep doing you chica
This was so amazing!
i love her. you should've talked about the YouTube channel "stylelikeu"
Fantastic. Thank you for your consistently awesome content. Love your channel!! And I've been having lots of fun with your great recipes
I thought this woman gave a really good interview.I agree with her about some of the plus size fashion models.I think they are really sexy and find their bodies more interesting to look at then many conventional models.I love their voluptuousness and their ease with their bodies.Slim woman are definitely not always the most sexy for sure.
fighting back tears watching this. you just dont know how much this hit home.
So interesting, oh my gosh!
I still struggle with emotional eating. I'm trying to keep the mindset that it's a lifestyle. And when I make a mistake (like eating certain cakes with dairy and egg) realizing it's ok. I don't eat it as much as I usually do and I feel great. That's all that matters.
This was SO good!
Thanks so much for this interview it was so enlightening! Ive read some of Isabel's blog posts and watched her free video series, but was so great to hear her talk about these issues in depth, in a conversation. Xx
Not only food, but booze as well, are very effective tools for literally and figuratively drowning and stuffing down your feelings. Your ideas are spot on for certain!
I LOVE this conversation. I'm so glad I found SPS channel and this video. Thank you!
That is sad three years old . that doctor didn't know what he was talking about .
I need to lose weight for health issues. I have gastritis and reflux, my circulation is crap and my feet and hands hurt ):
However, just thinking “i need to lose weight” makes me want to eat. I don’t want to go back to how i used to be before i gained weight, not caring and not being obsessed with food is so much easier. I’m bipolar and i had a horrible crisis from the end of 2016 to the end of 2018, with two hospitalizations, in this period i went from 68kg to 85kg.
I’m 23, and i’ve never been overweight in my life before now, but i started dieting when i was nine. Eating healthy and exercise are things i associate with hating my body, restricting and binging and also using exercise to “make up” for what i ate.
I’m studying to be a nurse and quality of life is extremely important to me, i’m trying to learn how to separate “losing weight” from “being healthier to feel better”, but it’s hard. This really helped!
I appreciate this on so many levels, but I would love to see more interviews with body positive influencers who ARE plus size. I hear such great words from the people in this community, but all I predominantly see thin women behind the words.
Size 12? Really? Come on. Can we hear from someone size 22+ who exercise, eats a wide variety of foods and is struggling with body image in this society? I have no doubt that a size 12 person might get mean comments (because people su*k) but in the realm anti-dieting, body positivity, acting like a size 12 is the PLUS SIZE community is ridiculous.
The interviewer seems like such a good, genuine listener. Very empathetic. I appreciate that!
