I’ve been thinking a lot about change lately, the kind we choose for ourselves.

Whether it’s moving house, changing careers, or deciding to lose weight, there’s always a messy middle.

It feels hard, uncomfortable, and at times you wonder if it’s worth it.

But here’s the truth: change is hard, and staying the same is also hard.

The difference? One keeps you stuck, the other moves you closer to the life you want.

Hard is part of the process no matter where or what you are sitting with right now. I guess the real key is to get comfortable with it. It is an ebb & flow, feels hard, then easy & comfortable then hard again.

If you’re in the messy middle right now - keep going. The version of you on the other side is worth it!

We’ve been taught to believe that self-love only comes after we arrive at the goal weight, the dream body, or perfect health.

But the truth is, you don’t have to wait. You can appreciate, like, and even love yourself right now, while still wanting to grow, heal, and become healthier.

It doesn’t have to be either/or. You are already a masterpiece and a beautiful work in progress. (So am I.)

I know that “loving” certain parts of ourselves can feel tough, so start with appreciation or respect.
For me, I naturally carry weight around my middle. Do I love it? Hell No. But I can respect my belly for carrying two babies. Instead of punishing it, I support it with habits that align with the way I want to feel.

Start from a place of care, not criticism. From nourishment and self-respect, not restriction. When your daily habits come from this place, they naturally become your way of life and that’s where real, lasting change begins!

Here’s the thing - your relationship with food often began long before you realised it. Family habits, celebrations, and childhood experiences, all shaped how you eat today.

That’s part of the reason why diet changes can feel so hard. And, it’s often over looked. If food is your main source of joy, taking it away without finding other ways to bring in joy and comfort will feel unsustainable.

For me, planning ahead makes all the difference!
I know how I’ll be nourishing my body. And I also create space for breaks (like fasting depending on my cycle) so I’m not always thinking about food.

It’s also super important to find some joy in healthy food as well and also finding joy in other ways that aren’t food related.

Food change isn’t just about willpower. It’s about understanding your relationship with food and creating new ways to feel joy, care and connection.

Take a moment: what were your earliest experiences with food? Can you see how they play out in your life today?

Food is my love language (and sometimes my “ugh, not again” language too)

I have a love/over-it relationship with food. It’s like a love language for me……. and then in the next moment, I don’t want to think about it at all. True reality, right?

I’m always thinking ahead about meals, planning how I’ll nourish my body. I love cooking wholefoods for clients, creating meals for my family, tweaking recipes to add more nutrition (some are winners, some not so much!). And honestly? I absolutely love being cooked for too, there’s nothing better than going to a friend’s place and having it all sorted, or when someone who knows me well orders for me at a restaurant.

Food has always been a big deal in my life. I grew up with celebrations, entertaining, and connection happening around the table. And even though it’s my career, it’s also deeply personal.

Food is more than fuel, it’s joy, love and connection.

Not all bodies are built the same and that’s the whole point.

Ectomorph, mesomorph, endomorph - your body has its own unique strengths. Comparing yourself to a different body type is like comparing a cactus to a palm tree. Both thrive. Both are beautiful. Just… differently.

Your worth is not defined by your shape.
You are not failing because you don’t look like her.

The more you understand your body, the more you can work with it, not against it.

My body type is an Endomorph. I can gain weight by looking at food 😉. It means I have to be conscious of what I’m putting in but I honestly think it makes me a better Nutritionist. Although I’m still smaller in size I absolutely have to work hard to stay here! But it doesn’t feel like hard work because I have learnt to do the things I love & to focus on how I feel over punishment.

Which body type do you see yourself in most?

Save this post whenever you need the reminder: your body is already worthy.

So many women chase weight loss from a place of “should”, comparison, pressure, guilt, or wanting to meet someone else’s expectations.

But lasting health doesn’t come from shame. It comes from alignment.

When your habits feel good, they stick. When they’re built from self-compassion, they transform your health in ways that go far beyond the number on the scale.

Start focusing on how your daily actions make you FEEL! Strong, energized, confident……..and the rest will follow!

I know I’ve shared a version of this lunch many times, but I can’t help it — it’s one of my go-to favourites! Simple, nourishing, and always YUM!

Today’s plate: eggs, rye bread, avocado topped with a little truffle parmesan, a side of sautéed greens (kale and cos lettuce), olives, and a hit of gut-loving kimchi.

Wholefoods don’t need to be complicated or take ages to cook! In fact, simple meals like this are often the best! Packed with protein, veggies, fibre, and flavour. Quick, nutritious, and delicious.

Part 2 musings from my week of working with clients and conversations I’ve I had with friends.

Life and health are not black and white. You can love and accept yourself and still want to change.

You can believe in body positivity and also choose to lose weight for your own reasons.

I was reminded of this recently when a plus-size model online was criticised simply because she lost weight. The truth is, it’s her journey. It doesn’t take away from anyone else’s. It doesn’t mean she no longer values body diversity.

There is absolutely no doubt that seeing body size diversity is important, because all bodies are naturally different.

We live in a culture that loves to divide things into “right or wrong.” But real life doesn’t work that way. Health is nuanced. Bodies are complex. Everyone’s journey is unique.

If we could hold more space for the grey, for compassion, and for people to walk their own path, the world would be a kinder place.

We are all both a masterpiece and a work in progress and that is pretty bloody brilliant!

How do you hold space for your own grey areas when it comes to health?

You’re not the problem.

That critical voice in your head—the one that says you’re lazy or not trying hard enough—isn’t telling the full story.

You’re tired. You’re overwhelmed. You’ve been doing your best with limited energy and support.

It’s time to call out your inner critic and replace it with compassion.

You don’t need to push harder—you need to feel seen, heard, and gently supported back to balance.

✨ Healing starts with kindness, not judgment.

Get in touch with me if you would like support to reach your health goals without judgement or punishment!
