I was searching for an online version of my favorite panzanella recipe from an old Cooking Light issue and came across yours, and it’s the EXACT same thing except for the spinach or arugula and the onion quantity. Even the instructions share wording. And yet you have the recipe posted as Author: Andie Mitchell. Why did you do that and not give credit? Tweaking 2 ingredients doesn’t make this your recipe.

I am in CT and can hop a train and be in NYC in less than two hours! I might be too late for this, but I’d love to ask you how it feels to eat normally – after years of overeating, does balance still feel like work or have you found peace with food? Does it feel “normal” to eat in the middle or do you still zero in on every bite? I think the thing that scares me most about losing weight is not being able to relax around food; I’m worried I’ll always feel like I’m at war with it.

Thanks!

Andie, I am finishing up your book It Was Me All Along this afternoon. I related to the ups and downs, the extremes and the pursuit of balance detailed in your book on such a deep level. Thank you for this.
What I would love to understand, is how you were able to introduce “unhealthy” foods into your diet in moderation. Meaning, how do you make the decision to add feta to your salad, or peanut butter to your smoothie, when you feel it is not “needed” for your nutrition and weight loss/maintenance without hindering progress and spurring anxiety and guilt? This is my biggest struggle in my own recovery and discovery of balance, I am fearful of foods that will hinder progress.
Also, this salad looks delish, feta and all!

You are such an inspiration. I just finished reading your memoir and purchased your cookbook. I believe as stated in “The Big Night” that “To eat good food is to be close to God.” I am currently on a weight loss journey after IVF and two pregnancies 16 months apart. I want to maintain my passion for cooking and continue to lose weight. Most importantly, I want my two baby daughters to see a healthy, happy mother who loves her body. I want my babies to have a healthy relationship with food and pride in the miracles of our bodies. I have lost 37 pounds and have 50 to go. In your book, you mentioned that you needed to trust and let go. For instance, you mentioned that you had to trust that walking would allow you to lose weight or maintain as running did, and dessert and food in moderation would do the same. How did you learn to trust and let go? Did you just try walking and hope for the best? Did you introduce dessert and hope it worked out? What would you have done if it didn’t ? How did you overcome the fear? I am struggling with that. Thank you. I live in New Jersey.

Hi Andie,

I am just finishing up your first book and have identified with so much of what you’ve been through. Like you, I’ve been obsessive about food, exercise, and my body for as long as I can remember. I would love to ask you if you still feel obsessed with food? As I get older, I’ve found that it’s ebbed and flowed for me. Especially now, having had 2 sons, I feel less stressed about how I look and more in awe of what my body has been able to accomplish. It’s nice to finally have an appreciation for my body, perhaps for the first time in my life. I would absolutely love to meet you!!
