Where the heck did Chatty Kathy come from? (part one)
This is both a simple and difficult question to answer. It is pretty well accepted that a part of who we are and how we see the world comes from our childhood environment. I am cautious with this though. It can sound a lot like blaming others rather than just looking at history as a…
My allies in Intuitive Eating
So who are my allies in this process? Yesterday, I described the ways I can use my diet rebel and nutrition informant; but what about the food anthropologist, nurturer, and intuitive eater (aka me)?
