Blank Page
Sometimes there’s this blank page staring at me and I have no idea what to write about. It doesn’t happen often, but it happens every now and then. Ideas come and go and I cannot hold on to them. I am not satisfied with them. I want more of them. I get frustrated and...
Just. Stop. Pretending.
It’s time to stop pretending that you’re fine that you’re great that you’re happy or even content. It’s time to stop pretending that you care that you dream that you have one ounce of energy left to think about what’s next. It’s time to stop pretending that you’re...
Dear Body…

Shame. Guilt. Ease.
You don’t have to be the way you’ve been
You don't have to be the way you've been You don’t have to stay stuck in diet prison. You don’t have to stay sad. Mad. Desperate. You don’t have to be the way you’ve been for years decades for your entire life. You don’t have to stay small defeated joyless internally...

You know your truth
You know whether you're lying or not. You know whether you're happy or faking every darn smile. You know whether your soul is soaring or your heart is crying. You know your truth. Even if you feel numb. Even if you feel lost. You know what's right. You know what's...
Being a High Achiever and Not Being Obsessed with Food
I'm a high achiever through and through. I loooove working hard. I loooove getting results. I loooove learning and getting up at 5am to get shit done. I've done this truth for years as I was scared of falling back into the trap of my eating disorder. I used to be a...
What do you really need?
Why are you restricting? Why are you binging? Why are you exercising like a crazy person? Chasing the body of a photoshopped version of a model? Why are you beating yourself up? Being so freaking hard on your body? Why are you abusing yourself? Do you know? The...
Release the Struggle
It doesn't have to be so hard. It doesn't have to be an uphill battle. It doesn't have to be all or nothing, binging or restricting, loving or hating, high up in the sky or lower than low. Release the struggle. It doesn't have be heaven or hell. Bootcamp style...
It’s Not Normal
It is not normal to talk about diets every time you eat. It is not normal to base your food choices on calorie amount. It is not normal to claim that the Biggest Loser is the most brilliant and "educational" show out there. It is not normal to still be dieting after...
