Escape the Diet Trap: Embrace Your Body and Enjoy Food Again
I eat dessert every night. I love eating naked, specifically on the couch after having sex. I haven’t tracked my food in over four years and I haven’t binged in over seven.
I don’t weigh myself because I don’t care and the number on the scale no longer controls my mood. I take great care of my body and I don’t obsess or stress or berate myself when I do the bare minimum. I enjoy working out and show up consistently but my life isn’t centered around ensuring I fit x amount of workouts in.
Objectively, dressing room mirrors deserve a special place in hell, but it doesn’t ruin my shopping experience anymore. Trying on clothes doesn’t spiral into a menty-b (mental breakdown) and sizing up in clothes is perfectly acceptable to me.
It’s wild to me that I didn’t always feel this free, and it’s equally wild to me that I do. I thought I’d always have a “food problem,” and my body would always be a “work in progress.”
I didn’t realize how much space obsessing over my body took up, how much it bled into every aspect of my life, or maybe I did. It was my reality for so long, I didn’t know anything different.
But what I do know is it feels really good to be in this space with my body. To have a healthy relationship with her. To be home.
You, I, we live in different bodies that hold unique stories, shaped by our own lived experiences. Healing our relationship with our body will look different, but my biggest hope is that we can all come home, however that may look. It is our inherit right, after all
If you’re craving support and would love direction and guidance to build a healthy relationship with food and movement, find peace with your body, and feel secure being you—I’d love to invite you inside EmpowerHer.
My intention when you come to work with me is to explore a path that honors you. To hold, listen, and respect your lived experience. And to create the possibility that feeling confidence isn’t as far away as you might think.
