Food is one of life’s greatest pleasures. It brings us joy, comfort, and connects us to our cultural heritage. Yet, it’s unfortunate that our relationship with food has become so complicated. We’ve been bombarded with countless messages about what we should or shouldn’t eat, how we should look, and how food defines our worth. Even as a dietitian, I have struggled with food guilt in the past. The guilt that creeps in after indulging in a slice of pizza, savoring a decadent dessert, or simply enjoying a meal without worrying about calories. It’s time we break free from this vicious cycle and embrace a healthier and happier relationship with food. Let’s remember that food is not the enemy. It nourishes our bodies and souls, fuels our adventures, and fosters beautiful memories with loved ones. Eating is a natural, essential part of life, and we shouldn’t punish ourselves for it. Of course, it’s essential to strive for balance and make healthy choices most of the time. But remember, it’s okay to indulge occasionally, guilt-free. Enjoy that slice of cake at the celebration, savor that favorite comfort food, and do it without regret. Drop below your favorite vacation meaI. If you need help, send me a DM.

Been a little quiet here lately. Life has been nothing short of busy and full of surprises. Some good, some that require more focus. Sharing a few good memories from my recent beach trip. ☺️ Got to spend the week on Hilton Head with my favorite, @prokevin30 🥰 Here’s a little reel highlighting the best moments: - Lunch with a view - Some of the best ramen 🍜 - Beach walks - Newest & coolest spot, The Bank 🏦 - Go to the beach to eat Thai food 🍲 😆 - Spending time with Edward Jones family, Region 124 - Celebrating Kevin’s accomplishments 🎉 - Lots of bike riding, looking for gators 🐊 Something about that salty air. I miss it already. Until next time… Music: Sunny Musician: @iksonmusic

It’s true though. Sorry, Elle (but I’m sure you also know too). ⁣ ⁣ What did I lie about? Oh a few things because I lied a few times. ⁣ ⁣ - “Sleep is great”⁣ - “I’m not stressed, I feel great”⁣ - “I hit my macros this week!”⁣ - “I only had 2 beers”⁣ ⁣ You get the picture and yes, those were all true lies. ⁣ ⁣ Why did I lie?⁣ ⁣ I didn’t want to come across as a 𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘶𝘳𝘦. I wanted to pretend like I had it all under 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘭. In a world of chaos, at least I could control my check-in answers, right??⁣ ⁣ The problem with this is that she could have helped. Instead I was trying to figure it all out and that made it worse. ⁣ ⁣ If you hire a coach and you’re not honest with what’s going on, your coach won’t know how to help you. ⁣ ⁣ As hard as it is, be honest. Be honest with yourself. Be honest with your coach. It’s tough. I get it because there are times I don’t want to say what’s going on. ⁣ ⁣ As I go over my clients check-ins, I want to know what’s going on so I know how to help. What are you struggling with? What’s not feeling right? ⁣ ⁣ Tired of trying to figure it out? Reach out, let’s chat….

*Sharing a little personal side of life* ⁣ ⁣ I got to spend the Fourth celebrating it with family and friends…peep the cutest, sweetest nephew everrrr! Then ended the week on Hilton Head with friends and my bestie, @prokevin30 ❤️⁣ ⁣ I feel better than ever mentally and ready for some amazing things to come 😉
