It’s a monthly subscription box that gets mailed to your home and it includes things like body-positive stickers and pins as well as deeper resources on body acceptance, health at every size and intuitive eating. Each box includes items from fat and marginalized creators, and pays them a living wage for their work.

Listeners’ Letter
Dear food,
I’m 32 and I’ve only just started listening to my thoughts/emotions and how my eating patterns are effected.
If I’m not feeling good enough, when I’m dumped by a boyfriend, ignored or shut out by a person then I binge eat. I’m so sad that I go straight for the whole tub of ice cream and a whole bag of chips etc…
If I’m worried or stressed then I have no appetite and forget, or just cannot physically eat.
I would love to take charge of my emotional eating as it causes me to feel sluggish, heavy, I don’t know why I do it because it doesn’t make me feel better. I would really like to take control of my emotional eating. As I understand it I have to tackle my emotional connection to food which is triggered by not being good enough.
I’m early in this and looking forward to learning more about other people’s journeys which will support me on my own.
Many thanks,
Trapped Emotional Eater
