HEY OH! I can’t wait to introduce you to this week’s guest, because she’s someone I’ve followed for years, she’s one of the people who originally got me interested in intuitive eating, health at every size and non diet approaches to health and nutrition. Kelsey Miller is senior features writer for Refinery 29 in New York where she writes the column the Anti Diet Project which is all about intuitive eating, body image, and sane fitness. She’s also the author of 'Big Girl:How I Gave up Dieting and Got a Life'. And today we talk a little about her intuitive eating journey and how it’s really hard so don’t buy into the BS on Instagram where bloggers are like, I used to eat clean but now I eat intuitively without any concept of what it actually means (or any carbs on their plate. We also talk about how to be an advocate for body positivity from a place of thin privilege, we talk about recognising other types of privilege in the body positivity space and how unless you’re talking about intersectionality, then you’re kinda part of the problem. And she also gives a lot of great advice about how to get more comfortable with your body and spoiler; it involves getting out of your comfort zone. Really love this conversation.   SHOW NOTES {Kelsey on Instagram | Twitter} https://www.instagram.com/mskelseymiller/ https://twitter.com/mskelseymiller {The Anti Diet Project} http://www.refinery29.com/the-anti-diet-project {Big Girl} http://amzn.to/2ulZKmu {Kelsey on Body Image : VBO | Going Backless | Boudoir Photos} http://www.refinery29.com/vbo-plus-size-positivity http://www.refinery29.com/plus-size-fashion-taboo-backless-dress http://www.refinery29.com/body-positive-boudoir-photography {The Origins of Body Positivity on Food Psych Podcast} https://www.christyharrison.com/foodpsych/4/the-roots-of-the-body-positive-movement-with-connie-sobczak
