Why I Wrote How to Eat Like a Normal Person

A Dietitian on a Mission

How to Eat Like a Normal Person was the resource I needed when I was in the midst of my battle with disordered eating. For over a decade, I was so desperate to be thin that I’d consume nothing but diet books encouraging me to cut carbs, skip breakfast, and suppress my roaring appetite with a glass of warm lemon water. 

From middle school to young adulthood, I couldn’t enjoy a slice of pizza or a bag of movie theater popcorn without obsessing about the calories. While I exercised daily, my routine was anything but healthy. On an empty stomach, I’d sprint, lift, and pedal on the elliptical until I was ready to pass out. Once I was home, I’d chug a protein shake and choke down dry chicken… just to later binge on an entire sleeve of low fat cookies and microwavable Lean Pockets (yuck!)

Afterwards, I’d feel immense guilt. To make up for my binge, I’d try to “eat clean,” reduce my calories to 1200, or go keto. I’d follow whatever plan for a couple of weeks and even lose a few pounds but inevitably, I’d give up and order Chinese take-out.

What’s wrong with me? I’d think but never say aloud. How come everyone else can stick to a diet, but I can’t? 

Little did I know, hardly anyone was actually sticking to their diet. And nothing was wrong with any of us! We were simply led to believe eating less and moving more was the secret to losing weight and keeping it off. It was not until I ditched this mentality and began fueling my body that I was able to heal my relationship to food while reaching my goals.

As a registered dietitian with 7 years of experience, I’ve heard hundreds of stories from women who’ve also battled binge eating, emotional eating, yo-yo dieting, and body dysmorphia. They’re all-or-nothing with food- either they’re following a strict plan or completely off the rails with their eating habits. The more diets they follow, the more confused they become about how and what to eat. Unfortunately, their shame keeps many of them quiet and stuck in restrictive eating patterns until they seek out help.

Countless times an exhausted dieter has sat in my office and said, I’m done dieting- I just want to eat like a normal freakin’ person!

In an effort to help more women feel less alone in their struggles and find peace with food, I wrote How to Eat Like A Normal Person. This book is not another dry manual instructing women to “eat this, avoid that.” Rather, it’s a collection of stories and strategies that teach readers how to adopt a balanced diet they can stick to for life.

The concepts in How to Eat Like a Normal Person transformed my clients’ relationship to food as well as my own, so I wanted to bring them to women who may not have access to a registered dietitian. My mission is to help readers feel confident, boost their energy, and experience control around food for perhaps the first time in their entire lives. After applying the strategies in this interactive workbook, readers will never need to diet again!

Release Day: His Last Name

We are excited for the release of His Last Name by D. Lambert!

The wizard works alone. She was his one exception.

Before Master Kitable appeared in Galanth at the age of thirteen, he’d been a complete unknown. Even twenty years later, he is still only “Master Kitable,” a man without a last name, a wizard without history. He operated in the shadows for the Prince of Galanth when the borders were drawn, then helped the legendary King Tohmas take over Espar. Now, he enforces their tentative unity by policing wizard magic across the kingdom.

His offer to take Shimmer Weaver on as an apprentice after the war was unprecedented. She doesn’t fit in the new structure of government; she’s a dancer, an apothecary, and a free spirit at odds with their regimented world. But she’s also brilliant, and after two years, Kitable has to accept that her apprenticeship is ending. There’s only one more mission: a run-of-the-mill investigation of some minor magical issues in an unremarkable corner of Espar. Only this time, the enemy is Kitable’s past hunting him down, seeking to destroy everything he has built, including that which he values most: Shimmer’s loyalty.

Be Accountable to Yourself

We often say that writing is a lonely business, and media likes to show the image of the author hidden away in a secluded cabin or locked inside an apartment manically typing away without any interruption from the outside world–and sometimes that is true. But other times, writers feel the need to connect with others who understand their struggle. That’s why having a writing community is so important. 

Just like setting goals, having a community of writers can support accountability, much like having a gym buddy makes it harder to skip leg day. If you’re looking to share space with likeminded people, to have a ready sounding board for writing-related questions, or even just to vent about those times when writing is hard, the Author’s Accountability server might be the place you seek. Designed by writers for writers, this Discord server has resources like guided writing sessions, but more importantly, it’s a space to connect with others and simply talk about writing, whatever that means to you. 

Check out the Accountability Author’s Discord Server now for a free Guest account. Guests can see all posts and listen to all voice channels, but they cannot participate. If you like what you see and hear, you can upgrade to a paid membership (only $14.99/month) and join the conversation. See below for a full list of benefits for Members!

Tired of writing in isolation? Need others to keep you on track or give feedback on that scene you just wrote? Join a community of writers just like you and stay accountable to yourself.
