Switching into your spring wardrobe? Read this ⤵️

Some things aren’t going to fit anymore AND that’s not your fault!

Some clothes aren’t going to fit because you simply outgrew them. That doesn’t make you lazy, out of control, unable to stick to a diet or less worthy.

Instead of trying to FIX your body for the summer - FIX the original problem aka shop around for some proper fitting clothes that make you feel comfy ✔️

You made this post❗️

Last week on my stories I asked you why you were so afraid to let go of dieting and this is what you answered

A lot of these were recurrent and repeated answers which means: YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN FEELING THIS WAY

So many of you are recognizing that dieting doesn’t serve you, but are afraid to take that step forward. Fear is stopping you - and I get that 🫂

This journey is scary and hard but MAN is it worth it. I’ve seen how people’s lives are transformed once they take that leap of faith 🌈

If you’re thinking about hopping off the diet train, I’m here to guide you every step of the way so you don’t let fear hold you back 🤜🏻

A conversation I was having this morning with a client:

“I’ve been down this road before, I know how it ends. I know that I’m going to get on a diet and then stop eventually. I want to stop dieting but I’m scared I’ll just eat and eat and eat and gain weight”

It’s okay to be scared to go against what most people in society are doing! Your fears are valid ❤️

Make sure you can work with a professional who can help you process through your concerns and help you do the hard work of unlearning and ditching diet culture for good!!

Happy National RD Day 🎊💃🏻

Make sure to give some extra love to your favorite registered dietitian today ❤️

When I first became an RD I decided right away that my focus was going to be on weigh-inclusive, ethical, non-diet care. I am lucky enough to say that I have helped people improve their relationship with food and their bodies. I am even luckier to say that I have helped folks heal from an eating disorder. I feel so fortunate that my work makes a difference and improves lives. It’s a cliche but - some RDs really do make this world a better place 🌎

I am very thankful that I get to do this work with all of you. Thank you to everyone for following along ❤️ and to my patients and clients, thank you for trusting me with the most intimate and fragile parts of yourselves 🤗

6 years old🚦

Imagine being 6 years old and instead of thinking about playing, friends, happiness - you think about your weight, shape and size 😩

Diet culture knows no age. Hug your littles tight and tell them how amazing, smart, kind and talented they are ❤️

Food for thought 🍭

Teaching your kids how to have a healthy relationship with ALL foods can absolutely go hand in hand with teaching them about health, satisfaction and balance

Instead of making them fear certain foods because “they’re bad for you”, teach them the different roles that various foods have

Some foods give you energy quickly, some foods help you fee full longer, some foods help your muscles grow, etc.

Teach kids how to approach foods with curiosity rather than judgment and fear 🍫

Gentle reminder that you if you’re an adult, you need more than 1200 kcal to function ❤️

If you’re struggling with your relationship with food, I see you! And I’m here for you 🤗

Head to the link in my bio to learn more about how you can heal and nourish your body outside of diet culture 🙌🏼

Why are you still dieting?

I know there’s a lot of reasons why and I understand it’s complicated

All I’m gonna say is that dieting IS harmful for health

Not everyone who diets develops an eating disorder but MOST people with an eating disorder have a history of dieting

Please, work with a non-diet and HAES-aligned professional who is credentialed to help support you in your health and wellness goals

We just want to see you happy and healthy. Diet culture wants your money and that’s pretty much it…

Who’s got fun weekend plans?

Like maybe…not weighing yourself?🙌🏼

If you’re feeling drawn to weighing yourself this week, ask yourself the following:

1) Is the information I receive going to change my mood for the day?

2) Is the information I receive going to change what or how I eat for the rest of the day

3) Is seeing that number worth it?

(it’s not worth it)

If you’re currently struggling with your relationship with food and your body and need more support from a professional 🌈 DM me or check out our website www.beyondfoodrules.com (link in bio)

One approach is more sustainable 🌈

If you’re done beating yourself up over your food choices and are ready to hop off the restrict-binge-guilt cycle 👉🏼 schedule a consult today at the link in my bio so I can help guide you to food freedom ❤️

Is this true or is this true?😂

🙌🏼 Hands up if you’ve ever been let down by a certain diet or lifestyle change

🙌🏼 Hands up if you were guaranteed results that never happened

🙌🏼 Hands up if you’re exhausted from being on this emotional rollercoaster 🎢

Diets almost always promise you glamorous shiny things that never happen 90% of them time

And that SUCKS!!!

I’m trying to decide what I want for lunch 😵‍💫

So I literally went through this checklist and it helped me figure out what I want.

The fridge is thankful because I finally shut it after staring for way too long 😂

Let me know if this helps!❤️

Magical things happen when you give yourself permission 🥇

🍕 If you don’t allow yourself to fully have access to a food AND enjoy it without guilt 👉🏼 you’re not going to feel satisfied and you will go on a scavenging hunt of food that might “hit the spot”

A way to avoid all of that is to just HAVE the food you want, without any limits or mental tormenting

🍕But how??? 🍕

You will likely need to work on:
1) fighting your food police and silencing them

2) breaking your food rules down and challenging them

3) thought reframing via fact-checking

4) planned food exposures in a safe manner

🍕I can help you work on all of the above 🍕

Do you avoid 📷 on bad body image days?

It’s understandable…

You’re not happy with how you look so why would you want to capture that moment?

HEAR ME OUT ❤️

You can be feeling crappy about yourself AND choose to be in photos

One day when you look back at these photos you won’t remember how you felt about your body, you’ll remember the happy memories you shared with your family. You’ll be happy the moment didn’t pass you by

So this year🎄 be in those pictures, but don’t look at them!! Don’t pick at every single thing about yourself. Take the pics and moooove on

Save this for next week 🎅🏻

No one really likes unsolicited comments. But hey, I hope this post gives you some ideas around how you can respond to those rude statements 🤞🏻

Carbs carbs carbs 🥖

Diet culture wants to convince you that carbs are bad, but here’s the truth…

They’re not.

Carbs are your body’s MAIN and PREFERRED source of energy. So…you need them 🍞

Are carbs your fear foods? Or do you restrict carbs because that’s how “you want to lose weight”?

I can help you overcome that hurdle and help bring carbs back into your life ❤️ Book a free session (link in bio)

Drop a 🦃 in the comments if you’re not engaging in diet talk tomorrow

Thanksgiving is a day when you get to enjoy delish food with your closest friends and family.

Don’t let diet culture steal that away from you (or family members who wanna talk about keto all the time).

🙌🏼 up if you’ve ever been caught in this cycle

This is probably the most common issue that I work on with my own clients.

In order to break this cycle, you have to start at the top - Restriction 🍽

Unless you stop restricting, cravings will continue to build up and potentially escalate into a binge.

OKAY BUT HOW DO I STOP RESTRICTING?

Good question 🤗

You can book a free consult session with me (link in bio) and I can guide you towards the resources you need whether that be nutrition counseling or something else!

Denying a craving will only intensify that craving 🙄

Let’s say it’s 6 PM on a Wednesday night and you’re craving a warm and delicious grilled cheese sandwich.

You’re afraid of making that because that’s “too much” so you eat a salad. That doesn’t satisfy you. You eat crackers. Still not satisfied. You keep snacking. Still…all you can think about is that sandwich 🧀 Sooo you finally make it.

The point of this story is to tell you that honoring your cravings, no matter how scary they are, will only serve you in the long-run ❤️

Your thoughts are not your own 💬

This might sound strange, but when you grow up in a society that constantly tells you what’s “right”, “wrong”, “good” and “bad” 👉🏼 You’re gonna hold onto these thoughts

These thoughts that come from society will then slowly start to feel like they’re your thoughts and reality 🤯

How do you challenge diet thoughts? Refer back to the image post 😉
