Mary Beth Barone has returned to stand-up after a break, recognizing that she has nightmares when away from the stage. While she celebrates her new live show and performances, she also navigates the difficulties of eating-disorder recovery, admitting it is a challenging time. Her relationship with food has become more complicated, especially after personal losses. Although she uses a reward system for food, her nutritionist's support is crucial in her journey, as shows provide distractions that complicate her eating habits.
Mary Beth Barone states, 'Once I haven't done stand-up for a certain amount of time, I'll start having dreams - well, I guess nightmares - where I'm onstage and I can't remember any of my jokes. That's usually when I know it's time to get back out there.' This highlights her deep connection to comedy and the anxiety that accompanies a break from performance.
She openly admits, 'I don't mind being honest. It is a really hard time right now.' This candid acknowledgment reflects the challenges she faces in her personal life, particularly in her recovery journey.
Barone discusses her struggles with eating disorders, saying, 'Somewhere between my relationship ending, having a television show come out, and my dad dying, I lost control of my control issues.' This connection illustrates the complex emotional triggers behind her relationship with food.
Regarding her nutritionist, she shares, 'If I didn't like her, it would be a lot easier to be like, 'Well, I have no one to do this for.' This sentiment emphasizes the importance of support in her recovery process.
