My Relationship With Food Impacted My Personal Style. Here’s How I Got Through It.

I was a fashion major in college.

I started out in design but my relationship with food threw in some curveballs..

Binge eating broccoli & chugging wine while trying to sew a dress...well I’ll let you imagine the rest 

I switched to Textile Science (the 2nd option design majors for when they can’t cut it- literally).

After college, I landed a dream job with the Urban Outfitters HQ in Philly.

It was easier to hide my desk binges, behind racks of clothes.

Most days I felt stuck- stressed, guilty, anxious, and ashamed, even though everyone else thought I "had it all together".

I remember prancing around our fashion floor looking at all of these cool girls & their perfect lives & bodies. I felt like such a fraud.

When I left the fashion industry I put my personal style on the back burner.

It felt like breaking up with a lover. Fashion had been a way to express me since I could walk.

But I needed a break.

My career, food issues, self-confidence- everything seemed so tangled up.

Flash forward to today: I love getting dressed in the morning and for one of the first times in my life, I walk into a room feeling comfortable in my own skin and fully present.

One of the BEST parts of healing my relationship with food has been expressing myself from the inside out.
