Community is the anecdote to diet culture. Come join me in building the anecdote together 🥳🌞.

Next Wednesday 3/4 come let your inner 80s kiddo enjoy a time without diet talk, where all bodies are good bodies and we can relish 🤭 in each other’s company. Creativity is how our intuition thrives and survives (Clarissa Pinkola Estés) - Come play!

Revisions are sometimes necessary and so human 🙏🏼 Changed this flyer for a few reasons and because of many wonderful humans.

I very much stand with and believe Mikey, Lindley and ASDAH when it comes to the harm caused them.
Without the time, labor and effort of these folx (as well as many, many others who hold marginalized identities), would not be what it is - it wouldn’t even be a movement.
When any of us want to support oppressed and marginalized identities, if we hold up a figure who represents none of these, are we supporting the movement? Are you supporting fat liberation? Please know I have also been sitting with these over the past few days. I was grateful to read Mikey’s article shortly after it came out and then Lindley’s after she published hers. If you have been HAES(R) aligned and are feeling uncertain, let’s together question where our information and resources are coming from. Who is the predominant identity being represented? Are the people being given the platform representing this?
I hold so many privileged identities. Thin, white and cishet to name a few. When I talk with my clients about anti-fat bias or about the oppression fat bodies experience, I mention the wonderful folx I have learned from. I will also continue to ensure that not only am I supporting folx who are giving their time, labor and spoons to fat liberation but work harder to lift up the voices who are marginalized and oppressed.
My fellow thin, white dietitians. Who are we supporting when we talk about and ? Are we lifting each other up while keeping those with lived experience down? Who are we benefitting when we do this? Who should we be benefitting instead?

Have you been trying to shift how you feel about your body and are finding it challenging?
🤗
It is challenging - AND if you are simply ignoring your negative body thoughts - this can make it more challenging!
✨
Can you look at those negative thoughts with kindness and then send them on their way?
❤️
Here’s an example: “My back rolls are (insert negative thought/comment).” **I see how I thought that would help me and now I thank my brain for doing what it thought would support me, knowing now that I will release that thought**. Next, shift to “my back rolls are exactly like my mom’s and grandma’s. My ancestors gifted these to me”

Excited to share this!

January is typically filled with a bombardment of diet and weight loss ads. So many messages saying you aren’t good enough as you are.

Here’s the thing: You are good enough exactly as you are now.

Want a community that helps remind you of that? and I are thrilled to have just a group starting January 28th.

Not only does this mean you have virtual meetings every other week and supportive messaging (hello, anti-diet memes!!) but this 16 week group will also take you through the END OF MAY!!

Virtual meetings will be held every other Friday at 1 pm PST. You receive all of this for only $400 for all 16 weeks! This is about a co-pay or less per week.

What would having more community add to your own journey with food and body?
