Are you ready to unconditionally serve broccoli? Because you love veggies yourself (if so only 😅) and because you’ll still feel like you did enough, even when your child rejects broccoli?

Honestly, there’s a good reason your child is refusing broccoli. And it’s not about missing a secret, flavor, hack, or sauce. Want to know more?

Of course we push and pull. We want our kids to eat healthy. Telling them no to one more cookie, pointing at the veggies and begging to take at least a bit of fruits. I also did that, very discrete, but that’s not the point. The point is my toddler could feel it, and mealtimes were morphing into a resistance training of pushing and pulling, truly exhausting and frustrating for all parties included (everyone at the table 😅).

I am about to launch an exciting new and free offer that will let you experience how you can become more at ease and in peace during mealtimes. Comment with HOPE if you want me to share you as one if the first to what’s it about!

Confessions of a former fitfluencer - I preferred to starve than eating something in the gym bar after working out that was ‘unhealthy’ (mind my quotes please). We write more than 6 years ago, I was studying functional nutrition and food simply became distress, resulting in eating less than was good for me, when I demanded more of my body than was good for me.

It’s not a diet, just a lifestyle’, I said back then, feeling truly enlightened by the gut protocols I learned about. Well, I can tell you you, the lifestyle was distressing at it’s best and overwhelming at it’s worst. Back then, I thought that was just something that comes along with self-care. Little did I know that was self-neglect in a shiny, fit disguise.

I know that some need to restrict certain foods, for example in the context of food allergies. ‘I don’t wish this to my worst enemy’; one of my clients with coeliac said to me. She’s right. Food is part of our soul, identity, social life. Take something - or a lot away - and you take a part of someone’s soul, agency, and hope.

Confession - everyone - me included - was telling me I was eating ‘right’. And the secret was being in a very orthorexic state. My disordered way of eating was what drove me into the rabbit hole of functional nutrition, as everyone was asking me how to eat right. Yet, I could not answer this question until now, years later, what that even means (and does not mean)!

A question I dare to ask. Do you recognize the difference between self care and self harm?

Confession - more than 10 years ago, I was a health journalist deeply working in and co-creating wellness culture. I was writing about protein dos and don’ts and feeding your neurotransmitters as the road to true happiness before it was on the mainstream agenda. My audience and my editors-in-chief kept asking for more. And I kept delivering. For me, diet culture also felt like a true discovery, like I was on to something no one else knew about. Looking for those wellness hooks was my job as a health journalist, and I truly believed I was helping others. After all, I was still moving, thinking, and acting on the spell of diet culture - eat this, and something good will happen.

It all started when I interviewed our national soccer team’s private chef. ‘We want to get those nutrients as fast as we can in those athlete bodies.’ It was 2014, and his phrase was all I needed to hear to upgrade my wellness game and downgrade my relationship with food, my mental health, and my well-being. Diet culture doesn’t get you with rules. It gets to you with a feeling, a promise, and for me, the promise was - eat well, and you’ll be strong, approved, worthy.

That promise is why I have been trapped in the wellness world until my first son taught me more about eating than my functional nutrition courses could ever do.

If you want to explore your relationship with food and understand how it shapes the way you feed your child, I invite you to reach out to me or join the pilot of Family Food Waves. Comment with WAVES, and you’ll get my current take on food, weight, and wellness in the liberating audio library.

It’s not about the chips. It’s not about ‘bad’ foods. It’s not about our kids. It’s about our discomfort of our kids eating what we think is bad.

How we see food, influences how we treat those foods, which influences how they feel, think, and eat (about) those foods.

Believing that more effort leads to better eating goes directly against what feeding actually asks of us. After all, we can set the table for success, but we don’t control the bites. And that can feel shaky. So we look for something we can do. For Team Pushing Harder, that often translates into doing more, not less. Unfortunately, over-functioning with food often makes us less functional. All energy goes into thinking, worrying, anticipating food and mealtimes.

The opposite of over-functioning with food isn’t under-functioning. It’s just functioning.

It’s getting something good on the table, being grateful for that, and moving on with your day. That’s it. That’s enough. That’s already a lot. Being able to buy and make food is already hard enough. In a world scarce of food it’s hard because there is no(t enough) food. But in a world abundant of food, we tell ourselves that enough is not good enough anymore. Or at least, our inner voice often tells us that.

Life here in our society has a lot to be grateful for, but can we also be grateful for just doing enough? You don’t need to always do more, plan more, think more to be a healthy eater.

I’ve been asking inconvenient questions since I was little, and I continue to ask them. First as a journalist, later as a dietitian. My questions make people pause. My questions often look like no-brainers.

Like what would you actually like to eat? But honestly, this question opens something. A micro moment to actually hear yourself, and your needs.

I’m not about telling you what to do. Already enough people tell you that. I’m here to ask the right question at the right moment. Because sometimes that’s all it takes.
What’s the question you’ve been avoiding?

🧡 Please let me know in the comments - why are you afraid of giving food (or certain foods) to your child? Which lessons, experiences, stories drive you?
I’ll go first. I was afraid of chips and chocolate. And now years later, I know why. Because I did not trust myself with these foods. Instead of nourishing distrust, I decided to be done with this cycle. I decided to work on trusting myself, my child, and food. That’s quite a revolution, but hey, I I can’t do things differently if I don’t think and feel differently. How about you?
