FOR UPCOMING COOKING CLASSES, read this post. Alright folks!!!! ...Continue reading

If there’s ONE thing you could allow yourself to eat or drink without guilt or shame what would it be? Let me know in the comments. This could be any food you may consider as "bad", "unhealthy", or that you don’t allow yourself to have to stay on track. ... The big one for me was dairy (I know I know, it’s not super specific haha ). For the longest time I thought I was intolerant, when really it was just the stress I created for myself when eating those foods that gave me an upset stomach... I was restricting like crazy and always ended up binging on all the cheese, pizza and ice cream late at night or on weekends. I’m so grateful to have discovered food freedom now I can enjoy my Starbucks drink with caramel (dairy), if I WANT to, without shame of "failing" on my health! It’s all about listening to our bodies peeps! #IntuitiveEating #FoodFreedom #HellToTheYesForCaramel See more

.... This one was a hard one to swallow. Do you ever feel like you be doing something (ex. go to the gym) but can’t find it in yourself to get up and go? ... It might not be the lack of motivation or willpower. ’ ’ . For me, that was the gym. Let me know if you can relate, but I’ve been paying for a gym membership for *months*, that I might of used 3-4 times, if that. Even though I started moving my body in a way that feels good ( ), part of me still didn’t want to let go of the gym membership for E. When I was in high school and the years that followed, I was heavily involved in the weight lifting world. People would look up to me and say how they felt inspired by my dedication. . . . Letting go of my gym membership, in a way, was scaring me that I would lose . My identity I had built for myself around that. And for anyone coming from the fitness community, you may relate when I say that I was afraid of letting go of my membership, because in order to be , it meant that I had to go to the . Even up until a few weeks ago, thinking about all this, I was like "well, spin classes is cardio... I can’t do cardio. I need the gym to stay fit." Diet culture is SNEAKY that way. It makes you believe that you aren’t enough. That you need to push harder. Find the willpower. Restrict to be healthier. Believe me, this is far from the truth. The moral of this story: find a way of moving your body that works for YOU. Let’s remind ourselves that our worth and value isn’t based on how much or what type of exercise we do. Now I want to know- what is the thing about yourself that you value THE MOST (that isn’t weight or health related)? Let me know in the comments- let’s change the narrative!

For anyone that has time to join in live now or to watch the replay later, I HIGHLY recommend checking this out! All about fat phobia and weight stigmatization. This is sure to open us up to more conversations around weight, larger bodies and health.

& : ’ -.... Have you ever heard that eating before bed will make you gain weight? Or that you should stop eating before 6pm? 8pm? ’ . ... ’ -. Your body works around YOUR schedule and YOUR hunger cues. If you tend to only go to bed at 10:30-11pm, but you still find yourself being physically hungry past 8pm, EAT. Your body doesn’t shut off digestion after a certain hour. Your body is here to support YOU. Think of people working night shifts they don’t stop eating just because it’s nighttime. Your body regulates with your schedule, and processes the food as it comes. On another note, your body may tend to hold on to fat more if you avoid eating when hungry (the body thinks it goes into starvation mode, and holds on to fat for energy- not knowing when the next food will come). So my suggestion to you love, if you eat dinner at 5-6pm, and you’re still hungry before bed, don’t deprive yourself eat. Not only will this build a relationship of with your body and hunger cues, but it will also reduce your chances of binging, and it will keep you satisfied and thriving (the most important). ( ps: this is the perfect emoji to describe you and your body doing a happy dance together after fueling yourself with nourishing foods) #IntuitiveEating #IntuitiveLiving See more

’ : ’ , . You may think that you need to start your Monday on a clean slate, but I’m here to tell you this. How about we try to move our body this week in a way that feels GOOD and that is FUN, instead of pushing through a workout we can’t wait for it to finish before it even starts? ... For some, this may be a 30 minute walk, gardening, playing with your kids outside. Exercise doesn’t *just* have to fit in the container of going to the gym, joining a spin class, etc. Keep this in mind! Also, how about we enjoy foods this week that are both TASTY and NOURISHING (alone, or together)? Starting a new week with the mindset that there’s certain foods we can’t eat (bad) will only lead to food obsession, and perhaps, the weekend food binge. If you crave something, take 30 seconds to stop, take a deep breathe in, do a quick body scan and look into if you’re genuinely craving this food (and if it’s emotional or related to stress that’s also ok food can be both nourishing and comfort at times), and then allow yourself to enjoy it fully. Not in a rush. Fully in the moment. Life is meant to be enjoyed and lived, and we shouldn’t spend every waking minute hating our bodies or worrying about how much sugar / carbs there is in food. Go out there and kick ass this week! I’m rooting for you. #ThirstyForSoulGrowth #IntuitiveEating #IntuitiveLiving See more
