You think you want weight loss, but that`s not actually what you`re chasing…
What you really want is to feel comfortable in your body. To stop obsessing over food. To go through your day without constantly thinking about what you ate or what you`re going to eat next.
You want to feel confident getting dressed in the morning. To enjoy meals without guilt. To stop avoiding photos, plans, and moments because of how you feel about your body.
You want peace. Freedom. Space in your brain for things that actually matter.
What you`re looking for isn`t on the other side of a diet. It`s on the other side of ditching diet culture altogether.
💬 Comment “READY” if you’re done with the food noise and want support finding peace again.

If you feel like you "overate" this weekend, I need you to hear this first: You didn`t do anything wrong.
But I know the guilt is probably loud right now. And your brain is already planning how to "fix" it.
So here`s what NOT to do 👇
Don`t skip meals today to "make up for it."
Don`t punish yourself with extra exercise.
Don`t spiral into shame and promise to "be better" tomorrow.
Don`t step on the scale.
Don`t let one weekend dictate how you feel about your entire body.
Your body doesn`t need punishment. It needs consistency.
You ate food. That`s it. That`s what bodies do. It doesn`t require damage control, compensation, or a fresh start on Monday.
What it requires is you showing up today: eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner like you would any other day.
Treat yourself the way you`d treat someone you love who`s going through a hard time. With kindness. With patience.
Not punishment.
You deserve that.
💬 Save this if you need the reminder. And if you`re tired of living in this cycle, I`m here when you`re ready to break it.

I said it and I`ll say it again!
The diet industry makes $72 billion a year convincing you that you`re broken.
That your body can`t be trusted. That you need their products, programs, and plans to be worthy of existing.
So yeah, I`m going to keep saying them. Even if it makes people uncomfortable. Even if I lose followers. Even if I get hate.
Because your healing and sanity matters more than the diet industry’s profit margins. And your freedom matters more than the influencers who profit from protecting it.

If you`re waiting for recovery to feel easy, I need to be honest with you, it won`t.
Recovery is messy. It`s uncomfortable. It`s two steps forward, one step back. Sometimes it`s one step forward, three steps back.
Some days you`ll feel like you`re finally getting it. Other days you`ll wonder if you`ve made any progress at all.
You`ll have moments where eating feels normal, and then suddenly it doesn`t.
You`ll trust your body one day, and doubt it the next.
You`ll feel proud of yourself, then immediately guilty for feeling proud.
And all of that is part of it.
Recovery isn`t linear. It`s not perfect. It`s not fast. And it`s definitely not comfortable.
But it IS worth it.
Because on the other side of all that mess? There`s freedom. There`s peace. There`s a life where food doesn`t run the show anymore.
You don`t have to do it perfectly. You just have to keep going.
If you want a teammate for this next chapter, I’m here.

The anxiety. The overthinking. The voice in your head analyzing every bite.

"You look great! Did you lose weight?"
Seems harmless, right? It`s not.
That one comment can do more damage than you realize, even when it`s well-intentioned.
Here`s why I never compliment weight loss 👇
1. Because you don`t always know why someone lost weight.
Maybe it was intentional. Or maybe they`ve been sick, stressed, grieving, or dealing with something they don`t want to talk about.
2. Because weight loss doesn`t automatically mean health gain.
Someone can lose weight through restriction, over-exercising, stress, illness, or disordered eating. Just because the number went down doesn`t mean they`re healthier. In fact, it might mean the opposite.
3. Because it reinforces the harmful belief that thinner is always better.
When we compliment weight loss, we`re sending the message that smaller bodies are more valuable. That reinforces weight stigma and tells people their worth is tied to their size. It`s not.
4. Because you don`t know what it took to get there.
Maybe they skipped meals. Maybe they exercised compulsively. Maybe they sacrificed their mental health, their social life, or their relationship with food. Weight loss often comes at a cost that`s not visible, and celebrating it can encourage harmful behaviors.
5. Because when that weight comes back (which it often does), the shame hits harder.
Most weight loss isn`t sustainable. And when someone regains weight after being praised for losing it, they often feel like they`ve failed. That shame can fuel more disordered eating, more restriction, and more suffering.
6. Because your body deserves to be loved and respected at every size.
You don`t need to lose weight to deserve kindness, compliments, or respect. Your body is valuable exactly as it is, no transformation required.
So instead of commenting on someone`s body, try this: "You seem really happy lately." "I love your energy." "It`s so good to see you."
Compliment who they are, not what they look like.

I hear this all the time from patients who can`t figure out why food feels so complicated now.
Here`s what I want you to know: It doesn`t take a dramatic moment to change your relationship with food.
Sometimes it`s just...
👉A parent commenting on your portions at dinner.
👉Being put on a diet before you even understood what that meant.
👉Watching your siblings eat freely while you got the "healthier" option.
Those moments? They weren`t nothing.
They taught you that your body couldn`t be trusted. That hunger was something to ignore. That food was something to earn, control, or feel guilty about.
And now, years later, you`re still carrying those messages, even if you don`t remember where they came from.
But here`s the good news 👉You can unlearn them.
You`re not “broken.” You`re not "bad" with food. You just absorbed some beliefs that aren`t serving you anymore. And with the right support, you can rebuild a relationship with food that actually feels peaceful.

Diet culture really said "let me create the problem AND sell you the solution" and made billions doing it.
The playbook is simple:
Step 1: Convince you that your body is wrong.
Step 2: Sell you a diet to "fix" it.
Step 3: Wait for the diet to fail (because they all do).
Step 4: Tell you it`s YOUR fault for not trying hard enough.
Step 5: Sell you another diet.
Step 6: Repeat forever.
The whole system is designed to keep you coming back. Because if diets actually worked long-term, the $72 billion diet industry would collapse.
So they need you to believe you`re the problem. That you just haven`t found the "right" plan yet. That THIS time will be different.
But here`s the truth 👉 You were never the problem. The system is.
Diets don`t fail because you lack willpower. They fail because they`re designed to fail. And you don`t need another one.
What you need is to stop playing a game that was rigged from the start.
