I have permission to eat in abundance and until I am satisfied.

Consider this affirmation a counter action to the messages you’ve received that say “you cannot and should not trust your body”.

Think about it, so many of those messages are baked into our culture: clean your plate, don’t eat after 8pm, eat this before that, don’t spoil your dinner…. and on and on and on!

We’re so happy you’re here and working to rebuild that trust between you & your body.

Erin is on the blog today sharing 4 tips when it comes to meal planning.

For many of us, meal planning is linked to dieting in our brains after years of following strict rules. We're here to say diet culture does not own meal planning or meal preparation.

In fact, these may be super useful tools that can actually support you to meet your nourishment needs. Especially during this month where many of us may be entering back into routines that weren't there throughout the summer.

We invite you to shift away from the "diety" version of meal planning and consider the concept of planning meals instead.

📣 New Group Alert!

Piper will be hosting a 4-week virtual support group for folks with ADHD (diagnosed or undiagnosed).

If you feel frustrated with your relationship with food and all of the intricases that come with nourishing yourself, this group is for you! We often share on here and with clients that feeding ourselves is not always easy.

In this group you’ll gain a deeper understanding of why that is and walk away with some practical tips to make food & nourishment less overwhelming. This is a great way to get access to a weight-inclusive dietitian weekly for an entire month, AND connect with others that share similar challenges.

This group will be taking place on Tuesdays starting October 8th at 7pm-8pm MST, via Zoom. Limited spots are available, if you’re interested send us a DM or go to the link on our bio.

Self Compassion: A Nourishing Practice to Live at Peace with Food

In this 90-minute webinar, we will explore self-compassion, its role in food relationships, and 5 steps to cultivating self-compassion in your relationship with food.

This webinar may be a good fit for you if:
✨ you are looking to reconnect to your inner caretaker
✨ you or others around you feel that you are “hard on yourself”
✨if your inner critic is particularly loud surrounding your relationship with food and body

Self-compassion encourages you to look inward and explore your own experience rather than looking outward. From a young age our perception of health, beauty and self-worth is influenced by the culture around us. Along the way we pick up narratives about food and our body, which ultimately sets up the landscape for your own food relationship.

If this is a topic you are interested in, we hope you will join us on Monday, November 21st at 6:00pm-7:30pm MST. Unfortunately, there will be no replay available. We look forward to seeing you there!

After the webinar you will receive additional resources to help you deepen your curiosity on your own relationship with food, plus a unique discount code for our upcoming offerings.

We listened to a podcast recently where the guest mentioned this concept of little by slowly. This connects perfectly with the work we do with our clients. Food peace, body image and self-compassion are not processes that provide instant gratification. Think about diets, or the social media you consume - we live in a world of instant gratification. Therefore taking the leap of food peace, body image or practicing self-compassion can often feel like swimming upstream. If we have lived with certain narratives around food for decades, it will take time to unravel ourselves from those narratives.

We invite you to hold space for yourself for as long as it takes to make these mindset shifts, little by slowly.

We have a webinar coming up about all things food peace and self-compassion - stay tuned!
