105 An Adventure in Food, Courage, and Healing with Stacey Morris

Stacey Morris is a journalist, food writer, and a self-described Recovering American who dropped 180 pounds without dieting, surgery, or "any of the miracle-gimmicks pedaled to the masses of Americans trapped in the cycle of overindulging and dieting," she explains. If a diet and exercise plan were really what I needed, the weight would have been gone decades ago," she says. "As someone who loved food far too much, to the point of misusing it, I knew the weight would never stay off until I dug into the reasons I was drugging myself with it," Stacey reveals. "Daring to go where I never wanted to changed my life forever." She doesn't deny that she'll always be a food-lover, and admitting that is a key part of why she's kept the weight off for more than four years. "I enjoy food more than I did when I was a binge-eater, but it's a different ball game. I eat with awareness now...no longer in a trance," she says. Stacey's writing nowadays is dedicated to more than just the brass tacks of how she got rid of the weight and is keeping it off. She touches on subjects ranging from the rights to respect and dignity for people of size, how the shame from being bullied at school often results in eating for emotional comfort, and her outrage over fast food chains and food corporations "inventing foods designed to addict us."
