In honor of Eating Disorders Awareness Week, I’m paying tribute to one of the most influential people in my recovery, Kate Bruno. Kate was the first dietitian I ever worked with, and I’ll never forget that day she opened her front door and I walked into her office. My life changed forever.

Now she’s more than just a memory to me, she’s a good friend and a role model I still look to for support. I remember calling her last winter, after Victoria was born, feeling so overwhelmed and scared. I was in California and she was back in Virginia, but she talked me through that transition just like she talked me out of anorexia years ago.

I love you, Kate. Thanks for everything.
