Healing your relationship with food while having aesthetic goals: impossible? 🤔
Hi hi — welcome back to Kweencast, with @avokween! Today's solo episode is a little different: I'm answering a recent question I received in my DMs that I thought was incredibly relevant, and thought it'd be helpful to answer it here!
The question is: "Hey Ali, I just listened to your podcast on carbs — super relatable, and a thought came up. How did you get to the point where you accepted that you'd have to give up on your "body goals" and focus on health goals? I know that health is driving me forward with my recovery, but I do feel concerned at times. What if I'm not comfortable in my body when I do focus on health? What if I end up healthy, but not quite happy with the way that I look? I still struggle with the idea of wanting to be fit & lean, but recovering from binge eating disorder doesn't include that."
Listen to this episode to hear my answer on this 😉

Why I'm not anti-weight loss 😮
Hi friends! Welcome back to Kweencast, by @avokween.
Today is a short-but-sweet solo episode talking about why I'm not anti-weight loss. In today's polarizing social media landscape, I found myself boxed in.

Trailer: Welcome to Kweencast 👑
I'm Ali Bonar, and welcome to Kweencast: the show where we give you the tools to live *like a kween*. I struggled with food and my body for over 10 years, and I've learned a lot along the way. I'll be interviewing inspirational people in the world of food and wellness, on juicy topics spanning body image, mental health, relationships, business, and beyond.
I'm so grateful you're here, and I can't wait to share Kweencast with you!
