#115: Body Positivity & Chronic Conditions - with Imogen Fox

I’m interviewing Imogen Fox, the person behind @the_feeding_of_the_fox. We talk about what it was like to recover from an eating disorder and navigating body acceptance as a Disabled Person with chronic conditions. In this episode, we chat about:

- Imogen’s relationship with her body as a queer Disabled Person and how this evolved over time,

- Why she didn’t think she was on a diet when she really was,

- What was so hard about recovering from an eating disorder and what those first few months of navigating intuitive eating were like, 

- Imogen discusses the differences of what it was like to live as a person with thin privilege and as someone in a fat body, 

- Why she rejects the idea of body love and says it only creates more standards for marginalized people to fail,

- What body acceptance means for her,

- How to find acceptance and appreciation for your body when you have impairments or chronic conditions,

- Why it’s problematic that the paleo community makes it feel like you should be able to “cure” your illnesses with food,

- The importance of the social model of disability,

Plus, so much more!
