WHAT IS A WEIGHT-INCLUSIVE APPROACH? ✨
.
Weight-inclusive means we don’t focus on weight as an indicator of health; we acknowledge that health is a complex combination of variables that differs for each individual; we use the research and the data that shows us that focusing on weight carries a much, MUCH higher chance of triggering disordered eating and body dysmorphia than it does of supporting long-term weight loss. What does weight-inclusive care mean to you?

Been on sitting on this one for NO reason and I’ve been hearing people asking this very question so... here’s a new doodle. Head to the link in the bio to get your copy for presentations and client handouts.

.
Movement- before you feel like eating everything in sight, begin to move the body! Go for a walk, do some push ups, do some house chores. You will realize you are not that hungry, maybe just bored, and getting the blood flowing helps clear our thoughts!
.
Hydration- before you ever feel like eating, or believe you are hungry, drink some water! Bring a water bottle with you wherever you are, and chug it back before you decide to pound back whatever you have set your eyes on. Most of the times we are actually dehydrated, or just thirsty, and not actually hungry!
.
Trigger foods- foods packed with sugars, salts, and fats that are calorie dense, that do not fill you are setting you up to eat more and more. Never really being satisfied, foods like peanut butter, nuts, butters, crackers etc are packed with calories and will leave you wanting more! So watch out for those foods! Processed food, fast food is all trigger food.
.
Healthy snacks- stock up on fruits and vegetables that work well with your body and goals. Lower in calories and provide a variety of essential micronutrients!
.
Delay gratification- before you begin to eat, sit down and actually think about what you are going to do. Build an awareness around your eating habits, and ask yourself “Is this bringing me closer or farther away from my goals!”
.
Hire a Coach- have someone with the answers to all your questions at the tip of your fingers who will hold you accountable and support you through all struggles. Providing you the training program and nutrition plan guiding you to transformation success!

It's Eating Disorders Awareness Week, which is a good opportunity to challenge a common misconception about eating disorders.
°
°
Eating disorders are not about food. Food, and by extension, the body are the *mediums* through which underlying psychological or emotional distress is expressed and MANAGED. It is not about the food.
°
°
Of course, it looks like it's about food. Compulsions around eating and obsessions with body shape are the most obvious characteristics of eating disorders. However, if it were just about food then changing eating habits and rebalancing body weight would resolve these illnesses. But, anyone who has been there will tell you it's never that straight forward. Recovery requires getting to grips with the daunting, deeply rooted emotional causes.
°
°
In my clinical experience (which, of course, may not be representative of all cases) those root causes are linked to: Distress or trauma that feels (or felt) overwhelming • Dissatisfaction with the self/life that becomes projected/targeted on the body • Tendency to internalise distress rather than ask for help • A sense that one is or one's emotions are a burden for others • Environments that model or reward emotional suppression ('don't cry, there's no point in moping, don't show weakness, you should be able to handle this by yourself') • Perfectionism especially in the context of interpersonal competition • Strongly internalised expectation for conformity, obedience, or being 'nice' or 'good' (often associated with a fear of being seen/thought of as 'selfish' • Linked to that - the idealising of 'thinness' as a way of achieving 'goodness' • Unacknowledged 'negative' emotions such as anger or resentment • Inhibited grief •
°
°
These are the things that need to be resolved. To identify, acknowledge, and validate difficult feelings and psychological distress. To manage that distress through words and help-seeking rather than with eating/exercise behaviours. To develop self-compassion and healthier ways of coping. The eating symptoms must be addressed but it can't stop there. Because eating disorders are not about food.
You may be surprised to hear that when I travel, I'm always on the lookout for the best donut in town. Not the best “healthy” donut, but THE. BEST. DONUT. around. When I was in New York last weekend, I tried several different places, including this one from @levainbakery
•
I mention this because I don’t want my Instagram account to come off as if I only eat healthy food 100% of the time. I enjoy creating healthy recipes that are EASY and TASTE GOOD, so that’s what I share here most of the time, but I also want you to know that I’m human, and I do still reach for things like donuts, french fries, and potato chips. (And pizza!)
•
I allow myself to eat EVERYTHING because, for years, I struggled with binge eating. (For at least a good third of my life!) In my case, it was triggered by dieting and a struggle with perfectionism. If I "slipped up" during a diet, I was off the wagon for the rest of the day— and often times for the rest of the week, eating to the point that I was uncomfortable because I knew those foods would be off-limits to me again in the future. It’s not a fun way to live, always being “on” or “off” a diet.
•
The only way I was able to finally stop this miserable cycle of yo-yo dieting was to also STOP feeling guilty about eating certain foods. Your pants size won’t change from eating one donut or going out for pizza with your friends. It’s what you do MOST OF THE TIME that counts, and it’s easier to make good choices when your brain isn’t clouded by arbitrary diet rules.
•
If you have struggled with something like this, I hope you’ll find a similar sense of food freedom! You can read more about how I stopped binge eating by clicking on my profile link ( @detoxinista ) and then clicking on this photo.

And tell me— is there a certain food that YOU seek out when traveling Let me know!

You have to work hard to get anywhere in life, and to stay there. This applies to creating a healthier, happier relationship to food, as well as jobs, relationships, or anything else. ⠀
✈⠀
️You know what? It's TOUGH to think painful and difficult thoughts, or experience upsetting emotions. It completely sucks. ⠀
It's a lot easier to focus on a weight loss diet or count calories and carbs. Yet in the long run, the only way to create permanent, sustainable change is to to through the pain and come out the other side. ⠀
Yes, it's tough to work through the past or to tolerate the difficult conflicts, emotions and ideas that you might want to avoid, but learning that you are tougher than you know, that you are more capable than you realize, will give you the self-confidence to go through anything without turning to food! ⠀

I mentioned so many times before and I will repeat it once again - I still eat everything I like! And I did during my whole weight loss journey. I’m just trying to balance it as much as possible. Sometimes I feel strict, motivated, disciplined and then I will eat clean for 2-3 months and have the best results. Sometimes I will be most of the time disciplined, but 1-2 times in 10 days I will have whatever I want (most of the time is like this). And also, I had periods where I ate pretty bad for some time. Most of the time, those periods are when I’m not emotionally and mentally satisfied with my life and binge eating comes back and fights with me on a daily basis. I often get asked about binge eating. Unfortunately, I still can’t say that I found a way to not do it. I still find myself in that situation and I hate it, but I’m proud of myself every time when I confess it to myself and confront it. How to stop binge eating? I truly still don’t have the answer. But how to control it and try to avoid it as much as possible?
Well, first of all, be true to yourself and find the reason why you’re doing it. It’s almost always something that is emotionally connected with you. What is triggering you to do that? Whatever is the answer - work on that! Second - avoid skipping meals! Don’t ever be hungry, because it can contribute to cravings and increase your risk of overeating. (Also, eat more fiber, because fiber moves slowly through your digestive tract, keeping you feeling full longer). Third - talk to yourself on daily basis. Be kind and nice to yourself. Practice self-love and try to connect with your own self as deeper as possible. And the last one - talk to someone about it. Someone who understands you and someone with whom you can be open about it and don’t feel judged! You’ve got this! It’s a hard fight, but you’re stronger!

I saw the most drastic changes in my body when I decided to stop dieting.
.
I gave myself unconditional permission to eat, to be satisfied, to eat foods I enjoyed, to reject diet culture, and change my approach to how I thought about food.
.
I saw the most changes when I stopped focusing on my body and started focusing on what was going on inside with regard to my thinking patterns, emotions, and mental state.
.
The purpose of giving yourself to unconditional permission to eat isn’t just to eat everything you can or want (even though that may be part of the recovery process!), it’s to give you back your power ad put you in charge of your food choices, your body, and to allow *you* to decide when and what you eat.
.
You are going to have to push through fear in order to reach a place of freedom around food and it may even seem like it’s getting worse at first. You’ll be anxious, you’ll probably cry a lot, there will be questions about whether it’s normal. You’ll wonder if you can handle it. It will feel like you are being swallowed by your demons at times.
.
Keep fighting. Keep getting back up. Don’t give into that voice telling you to stop because there is a whole beautiful life just waiting for you outside of what you can see right now.
.
It will and does get easier. You won’t always dread when it’ll happen next.
.
It does get easier. I promise.

They say the first two weeks are the hardest. And we are officially past that. What happened in two weeks? I’ve lost just over 15 lbs (some of which is the initial water weight) and can fit into jeans I bought months ago but could never fit into. The past two weeks have been filled with so many emotions, and I have fought my eating disorder so hard everyday, but its getting easier and easier everyday. I am eating food I love. I feel SO good after each and every workout. Everything is starting to feel normal and more like a routine. And I find myself thinking about fast food, and binge snacks less and less. It feels so good to have control over my life again. So cheers to the next two weeks, because if they are anything like the past two they are gonna be pretty great.
