𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧?

After tying my worth to the number on the scale for about 20 years, I realized I was focusing on the 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐓 𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐓 thing.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐲𝐨𝐮…

⚠️ How STRONG you are (physically & emotionally)

⚠️ How intelligent, funny and caring you are

⚠️ How much your friends and family love you

⚠️ How often you’ve been crushing your workouts

⚠️ How hard you work at your job

⚠️ Your own self-worth

𝐌𝐲 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐨 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 𝐨𝐧…

💟 Lifting heavier weight

💟 Eating more whole foods

💟 Drinking lots of water

💟 Sleeping 7-8 hours/night

💟 Reading or listening to inspirational books and podcasts

💟 Being grateful

💟 Practicing body neutrality

Who needs this mindset shift in their life?🙋🏻‍♀️

You’re not a failure if you can’t stick with your restrictive diet…

The DIET is the problem.

Not you, boo😘

Instead of focusing on removing nutrients from your diet

Focus on what you can add.

Have protein, carbs and fats with every meal to avoid getting hangry and ultimately binge eating.

Don’t let the New Year’s marketing fool you - restrictive diets are NOT healthy.

I have such a happy heart after seeing these wonderful women!! 🥰

I feel like we all forget that perfect is not attainable.

Do your best and have some self-compassion💜

“Dream body” in quotations because I think everyone trying to shrink their bodies would actually be healthier if they focused on how they FEEL instead of how they LOOK…

Not easy to lead with love when you’ve been taught your whole life that you’re not worthy.

Not impossible though.

If you could starve yourself and workout until your eyes bled in the name of “health”

You can certainly feed yourself properly, rest enough and thank your body for everything it does to keep you alive DAILY💜💜💜

Same goes for leftovers y’all😘

Photo dump for the past 2 weeks. I’ve been kinda MIA on social because my bff Sophia came to visit and then I jetted off to New Hampshire for my grandfather’s 90th birthday party!!

Wanted to be present with the people who matter most to me.💜💜💜 Zero regrets!

I’m just a personal trainer worried about all y’all running yourself ragged on the hamster wheel of hustle culture and diet culture, only to end up less healthy than when you started.

If it came down to choosing having enough sleep or getting my workout done, I would choose sleep…

Thoughts? Do you hit the gym even if you had a bad night’s sleep?

𝐈𝐭 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞…

I couldn’t believe how confident I felt when I finally had clothes that fit my body.

It solved several of my body image hangups all at once.

I no longer…

👉Complained to my husband about how “fat” I felt

👉Cried when getting dressed because nothing fit

👉Stayed home because nothing looked good on my body

It also made me realize that many of my issues were self-inflicted.

I was extremely fatphobic and scared to change my clothing size.

Now my only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner.

I know being able to afford new clothes is a privilege that many people don’t have.

Some of my favorite outfits have come from thrifting, which is very budget friendly and leads to more unique styles that just can’t be replicated at department stores!

How about you?

Are you scared to buy a bigger size of of clothing?

𝟒 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐈 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐄𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬

Yesterday, my husband told me that I eat two bites and say I’m full now when we go out to eat.😂

That’s a wild exaggeration.

But I have made a 180 in my eating behaviors over the past year.

In the past, going out to eat meant ordering almost everything on the menu that sounded good and stuffing my face until I literally felt sick and looked pregnant because I was so bloated.🤢

Clean Plate Club and gluttony were the name of the game.

When I started learning about and practicing Intuitive Eating, I realized that:

1️⃣ I’m not a human trash can. It’s okay to take food home or throw it away. Even though I hate throwing food away, it’s better than making myself feel sick. Now I order less initially because I can always order more if I’m still hungry.

2️⃣ This isn’t my ONLY CHANCE to eat this food. I don’t believe in cheat days anymore, which means I can eat this whenever I want.

3️⃣ These foods aren’t “bad” and I’m not “being bad” for eating them. Letting go of this restrictive mindset changed everything for me. Foods lose their magical power once they stop being off-limits in your mind. This goes for your favorite binge foods too.

4️⃣ Dessert is way more enjoyable if I’m not already stuffed!😛🍰

I’ve seen this play out for my clients too.

Kassie was raised to clean her plate no matter what. Now she can go out to eat, listen to her hunger cues and pack food to go once she’s full.

Kara will literally order one drink and not even finish it sometimes!

How about you?

Do you stuff yourself silly when dining out?

P.S. I realize that it’s an immense privilege to be able to practice Intuitive Eating. Especially now with inflation. IE has been life changing for me and I’m very grateful.
