A client recently said this to me in one of our sessions, and it’s stuck with me, especially as we head into Thanksgiving week. Perfectionism is often intertwined with eating disorders - wanting to look perfect, eat the perfect amount of food, burn the perfect amount of calories. When perfection isn’t achieved, there is often a crushing sense of failure. Since perfection isn’t actually achievable, that sense of failure often spirals into self-doubt and a deep sense of shame, of never being quite good enough.

This Thanksgiving, we urge you to challenge your perfectionist ideals and forgive yourself for not being perfect. Thanksgiving during a pandemic will already be difficult enough - you don’t need to add to that by being judgmental of yourself. Listen to your body. Show yourself compassion. Focus on gratitude. Lean into any emotional discomfort. Turn to loved ones for extra support. YOU GOT THIS! ✨ #motivationmonday

On this #selfcaresunday, keep these ideas in mind as we head into a week that is traditionally stressful for those struggling with eating disorders. Remember that boundaries, pride, flexibility and gratitude, while uncomfortable, count as self-care. ✨🍂

Happy new week! Positive thinking and affirmations don’t fix everything. They don’t solve all of our problems. BUT, sometimes shifting your mindset and paying careful attention to the things you’re thinking about can really help. Even if it’s just a little bit, it’s worth it. Sometimes it’s a combination of the little things that get us through the week. What do you tell yourself at the beginning of a new week? How do you stay positive? ... See MoreSee Less

On this #WesleyWednesday, I’ve been thinking a lot about intuitive eating.

Wes eats when he’s hungry, stops when he’s full. He runs around because he LOVES to be chased by other dogs and to get all his energy out. When he’s done playing, he drinks his water from his special bowl until he is no longer thirsty. No food rules. No food rituals. Just body attunement.

What’s the difference between Wes and all the people that struggle with intuitive eating?

Two words: DIET. CULTURE. Diet culture tells us that we have to look a certain way, and if we don’t, there are certain things we can do to look “better.” Diet culture also stigmatizes people in larger bodies, creating shame and disconnection. Diet culture tells us that we aren’t good enough as we are. This sows mistrust within us, to the point where we no longer trust ourselves and our bodies.

I wish we could live in a world like Wesley’s - there’s so shame if he’s playing with a bigger dog. There’s no envy if he’s running around with a smaller dog. In Wesley’s world, it’s all about the puppy love, and body size doesn’t matter. But since we do live in a diet culture world, show yourself some compassion and forgiveness, talk to your supports, and do your best to listen to your body.
