Saw a great post from with these prompts, I’m not big on yearly recaps or sitting down for a lengthy period of time to cover everything in a reflection post but this one felt achievable. I’ll put her original post on my stories if you’d like to use it 😊

The relationship between sleep and eating is one of the most overlooked connections in understanding why we struggle with food.

When you’re tired, your body doesn’t just feel sluggish—an entire cascade of biological changes occurs that fundamentally alters how you experience hunger and cravings.

Swipe through to understand what’s really happening when you can’t stop eating in the evenings 💭

If you’re ready to look at your relationship with food and understand the patterns keeping you stuck, know that change is possible.

Thoughts on identity and external influences that shape who we are (from your friendly neighbourhood trainee therapist who is making person-centred theory their entire personality).

If your body image and food thoughts feel more intense in December, you’re not imagining it.

This month often brings up struggles due to:

✨ more social events → more comparison
✨ disrupted routines → food rules resurface
✨ family dynamics → old behaviours flare up
✨ winter clothing choices → distorted body perception and increased scrutiny
✨ end-of-year fatigue → zero emotional bandwidth

So thoughts like:

“Why can’t I be more disciplined?”
“I shouldn’t have eaten that.”
“I feel huge.”
“I’ll start again in January.”

But these thoughts aren’t evidence.
You might not need more willpower this month, instead, you might be lacking self-compassion, emotional regulation and an understanding of the skills to help you through all of this.

If you’d like to know more, get in touch.
I help people just like you 😊

winding down the year by getting cosy and Christmassy, daydreaming plans for 2026 and removing my monthly contribution to the music overlords at Spotify. feels good.

it’s SO MUCH MORE than whether or not you like how you look.

negative body image can permeate all areas of your life.

it can hold you back.
it can get in the way of relationships.
it can leave you obsessing about food.
it can stop you taking care of yourself.
it can lead you to not pursuing a job.
it can damage your mental health.

my clients astound me every day with how they change their lives by changing how they view and treat their body.

here’s one of the strongest influences on how you see your body:

how your mum saw hers.

let’s discuss the relationship between a mother’s body image and the development of her daughter’s.

not to shame, but to build understanding.

you’re not failing. you dealing with learned behaviour and thinking.

and that’s why body image support can be so life changing- because it gives you the tools to unlearn.

when it comes to influencing another’s body image, one of the strongest links is between mothers and daughters. many of my clients know this, and reflect on their childhood influences.

one of my biggest acts of service as a mum is to foster my child’s positive body image in the best way I can. so she’ll never hear me talk about weighing myself, going on a diet, not liking my body or avoiding doing things out of shame about how I look.

what are some things you’ll never say in front of your child?

nerding out on neuroscience + eating behaviour,

why yes, it is my favourite topic, thanks for asking 😊

(cue my secondary school teachers going into shock witnessing the career direction I’ve taken)

anyway- I’m sick to death of people simplifying nutrition and eating as being a matter of willpower and discipline.

eating behaviour is beautifully (and annoyingly) complex.

when we talk about control, you NEED to understand and learn to work with your brain doing its thing.

your brain is geared for survival, and it will prioritise that over your feelings.

and that’s ok. it’s quite useful, really.

learning about dopamine and eating behaviour helps to release some of the shame you’re holding about your ability to control how you eat. and yes, it is changeable but likely not in the ways you’ve tried in the past.
