Roughly 3,000 out of 100,000 children and adolescents meet the criteria for an eating disorder. And that’s only the children and adolescents that are actually seeking treatment. In my experience working with this population, I believe it is much higher.

Roughly 12 out of 100,000 children and adolescents will develop Type 2 Diabetes. Let that sink in. In our society, we are so scared of our children being fat that we literally give people information on how to start an eating disorder rather than focusing on overall health and nutrition.

I have personally seen multiple instances of providers teaching nutrition by labeling foods “good” or “bad” or talking about anything besides whole food as “junk” or a “sometimes” food. The emphasis is immediately placed on restriction here when we know that diets DONT work. Let’s teach kids that all foods fit and it doesn’t make you morally a better or worse person for what you eat.

I am looking to start a group for loved ones / parents / partners of those in ED treatment. Feel free to DM me if that’s something you are interested in or want to learn more!

If you’ve been starting over every monday since you were a teenager, this one is for you.

The cycle always looks the same. It goes restrict —> feel insanely hungry / deprived —> actually EAT & feel like you have totslllt blown it —> f*** it, diet starts Monday. AGAIN.

Despite what people may think, this isn’t a you problem. It’s what happens when a $90 billion industry convinces you that you’re the variable and that if you just had more discipline, more willpower, or a better plan, it would finally work. But it won’t, because it was never designed to. If it was meant to solve that problem, the diet industry wouldn’t be so lucrative. The literal goal is for you to fail so that you will start over on something else next week.

You were never the problem and you don’t need another monday to prove that.

When did denying yourself something that you biologically need to stay alive become discipline? One of the most common misconceptions I hear is that people with disordered eating have so much “discipline” or “willpower.”

It’s tricky because self-discipline and self-punishment can look identical from the outside. It’s the same behaviors, routines, the same level of commitment. But self-punishment comes from a wound and your nervous system knows the difference even when your brain doesn’t.

If the voice driving your “discipline” sounds a lot like shame, that’s worth getting curious about. The goal was never to be more controlled or more rigid, it was always to feel safe enough in your own skin.

this one is for the moms doing the quiet, unglamorous, deeply important work of breaking the cycle.

The ones healing alongside their kids and the ones who didn’t have it modeled for them but are figuring it out anyway. Those shutting down diet culture and choosing their words carefully and trying, every day, to do it a little differently than it was done for them.

happy mother’s day. 💛

“just eat” is not helpful advice when diet culture spent years teaching you that normal doesn’t exist and eating is something to be ashamed of.

these 5 things aren’t character flaws or lack of willpower. they’re learned responses, and they make complete sense when you understand what your nervous system was trying to do.
diet culture didn’t just give you rules. it rewired the way your brain relates to food, your body, and safety. so much of what gets labeled as “bad” is actually your nervous system doing exactly what it learned to do to survive.

healing goes a lot deeper than changing what’s on your plate. It looks like understanding why food got so loaded in the first place. and that’s work worth doing.

you know you’ve done it. scrolled back to an old photo and thought “why didn’t I appreciate that body?” “I looked so good back then, how did I not see it?”

but here’s what I want you to actually think about - were you happy then? like, genuinely happy?

or were you still picking yourself apart. still waiting to feel thin enough, small enough, good enough before you let yourself enjoy your life. even if you actually did think you liked your body then, were you truly happy?

because most of the time, when I talk to clients about this, they weren’t happy then either. they thought they looked fat. they thought they looked gross. they were still waiting, just like they are now.

and that’s the thing nobody talks about. it’s not about the body. it never was.

what you’re chasing is a feeling. acceptance. love. the sense that you are finally enough. and somewhere along the way, your brain decided that feeling lived in a smaller body and that was the only way to accomplish that feeling.

but it doesn’t work that way. because if it did, you would have felt it then, in that moment, not just when you are looking back with rose colored glasses.

the body you’re in right now? future you is going to look back at it the same way. so what if you stopped waiting for your body to get smaller and started feeling enough right now.

if this resonated with you, share it with someone who needs it today.
