What have you previously missed out on because of diet culture that you are now enjoying? Comment below.
For me, I think of the friends I could have made in high school if I hadn’t been avoiding the cafeteria, closing myself off. I see wedding photos with ginormous bridal parties and think, could that have been me?
I think of all the culture and connection I missed when I used to travel, my eyes closed to everything around me in case I was tempted by “bad” food.
I think of a first date I turned down because the restaurant he picked scared me.
I think of all these missed opportunities with kindness now, not regret, because when I look around my little life now filled with dog walks, unshakable friendships, writers block, endless love and homemade meals made for me and my boyfriend in our tiny cramped kitchen, I see that I needed all those dark, lonely experiences to get to this little but grand joyous life.

I cannot stress this enough!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Like many, I struggle with believing everything that my anxiety is telling me. Often thinking about the worst case scenario and triggering my panic attacks.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Recently, I had attended my first day at a new summer job. The night before I had to go in, i was doubting myself and my stress levels were extremely high due to the fact that I thought that I may have “oversold” myself during the interview process.
I had thought that I was a fraud, and that I truly didn’t qualify for this position - even though this position is PERFECT for me and I am FULLY qualified to do the job.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It is so important to realize that anxiety is labelled a mental illness for a reason. It makes us doubt ourselves, it makes us constantly stress, and it makes us worried that the absolute worst is about to happen.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Becoming self-aware and practicing mindfulness is key to try and avoid believing everything that we THINK - stay tuned for my next post on MINDFULNESS!

Raise your hand if you’ve ever thought to yourself, “if I was just ‘naturally skinny’ life would be so much easier”♀️⠀
⠀
You’re thinking this because you are so tired of being on a diet. You’re so tired of doing workouts you hate. You’re so tired of feeling restricted, deprived, obsessive, guilty and ashamed. ⠀
⠀
Tired of feeling defeated when the new diet you started, the new workout program you paid for, it doesn’t make you lose that 20lbs you think you need to lose. Or you do lose that 20 lbs and then you quit the diet and quit the workout program because it doesn’t work for you in your life realistically & really you were only doing it to lose some weight. So you got right back to how you were eating and working out before. ⠀
⠀
Then you gain that 20 lbs back (probably more). Wondering wtf & considering going on another diet & another workout program but you really don’t want to, you actually really dread even the thought of it & now you’re continuously thinking “if I was just ‘naturally’ skinny life would be so much easier.” ⠀
⠀
I remember this cycle all to well. The constant weight loss to weight gain. From one diet to the next. Knowing I should workout but dreading the workout I had to do again that made me sore for a week. Continuously hating myself into a smaller body. Why? Because we’ve been conditioned to think we have to live in a smaller body to be accepted, to be attractive, to be sexy. ⠀
⠀
Well I’m calling bullshit. It’s time to take the pressure off you and your body babe. ⠀
⠀
STOP. ⠀
BREATHE. ⠀
⠀
I want you to ask yourself these 3 questions:⠀
1. Is this (whatever you are currently doing to change your body) actually true for ME & what does that mean?⠀
2. Is this really about MY body &/or my food choices?⠀⠀
3. What is it that I actually want?⠀ ⠀⠀⠀
Quit hating yourself into a different body. Do the work to figure out how to find a body that YOU feel good in. And DO NOT feel guilty for going after whatever it is that you find out you desire (no matter how different it is from Karen’s journey just because you want to feel how you think she feels after losing 30 lbs going keto, shut up karen). ⠀
⠀
DM me answers you come up w.& we’ll discuss it♥️
Loving yourself will only bring you closer to the love you deserve... and imagine being loved the way you love.
Put in the hard work. It’s so worth it.

Raising confident eaters requires an environment where kids can learn. That's best done by giving them trust and freedom WITH boundaries.
It's a delicate balance but totally doable, and it actually creates more peaceful mealtimes for everyone - including you!
You can head to my story highlights for more about feeding kids and how to create a supportive structure with food.
AND, reminder that today is the last day for the $30 early bird discount for your ticket to the Raising Confident Eaters Workshop happening this summer. Head to the link in my profile, swipe up in stories or visit eatconfident.co/workshop to grab your seat. Hope to see you there!
Therapy thoughts: get your own back.
.
The relationship we have with ourselves needs to be nurtured, fostered, respected, and worked on like any other relationship. It’s our responsibility to be cool to ourselves.
.
Notice resistance that arises as you consider that. I know I’ve been addicted to external validation most of my life. I still work on it! But somewhere along the journey I realized no amount of external validation made up for the deep shame and self-doubt that lived inside. I *realized* it had to be ME, that I had to be the one to believe in myself and validate myself. I had to get my own back, and I’ve been up for it ever since. That’s recovery for me... showing up for myself again and again.
.
When other people don’t get our back we gotta come to terms with this: ➡️ IT HAS GOT TO BE YOU WHO GETS YOUR OWN BACK. You cannot please all the people all the time. Hell, we can barely please some of the people some of the time! PERMISSION SLIP TO SELF: You don’t have to be 100% 100% of the time.
.
Remember, if people don’t like you, validate you, or show up for you... yes it is painful and hard and may bring up all your stuff. But you aren’t responsible for others thoughts feelings or behaviors. Even if you inspire people and they love you and validate you and get your back...it’s about them! ➡️ Practice *radical acceptance* of what is. Practice letting go and try to get your own back so you can show up the best you can. Be cool to yourselves, my mindful fam. May you be well
