Checking in for your Thursday pick-me-up-pun. #eatwithfreedom⁠⠀ ⁠⠀

My answer for when folks ask me what my beef is with dieting.⁠ I’ve never heard a patient say they’ve successfully lost weight with dieting. In fact, most say dieting led them to GAIN weight and harm their health. That’s why I’m committed to offering my clients a better, safer, and healthier option through intuitive eating. ⁠⠀ #eatwithfreedom⁠⠀

Some randomness we ate for breakfast! I never used to think that scrambled eggs went very well with fresh vegetables, but I LOVED the egg + caprese combo. We also had roasted eggplant + squash on the side and spicy sausage. Super yum! #eatwithfreedom⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠

Today's blog post [link in bio] takes a closer look at gluttony and how diet foods are really just a trendy, socially-acceptable cover up for using food outside of the context that God designed. Taking the nourishment out of food and making it a calorie-free, sugar-free source of pleasure is gluttony. Read more on the blog. #eatwithfreedom⁠⠀ ⁠⠀

If I don’t save room, I end up too full, cranky, uncomfortable and distracted. But if I remember that dessert is a good gift & meant to be enjoyed, and that my body is worth the respect of balanced nutrition, I’m set free to start and stop eating as my hunger and fullness inform me. I don’t need a meal plan, weight watchers points, or all-encompassing restrictions. God made my body and He knows best. By tasting my food, I can see that He is good! #eatwithfreedom

Today's blog post [link in bio] is about the problem I see with "Christianizing" diet programs, exercise regimes, and fitness endeavors. The big picture is that God isn't nearly as concerned about those things as we are, and using scripture out of context to justify them is actually a really big deal. Check out the blog for more of the details. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀

@immaeatthat hits the nail on the head every time, with a side dish of sass too. She also makes really awesome watercolor posts, and uses them as a launchpad for discussing intuitive eating topics with both expertise and palatability. #eatwithfreedom

Does honoring your cravings come easily to you?

"Something light." - My husband's response when I asked him what he wanted for dinner.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ This was the easiest dinner ever - I tossed some olive oil and spices on slices of eggplant, yellow squash and onion, laid them out on a baking sheet, and then roasted at 425 degrees until crispy. Paired with sliced tomato and fresh mozzarella = a perfect fall meal!⁠⠀
