This was life-changing for me! When I stopped focusing on the calories, carbs and fat grams and looked into the ingredients I was eating instead, my body transformed and health completely turned around.

There are plenty of “low carb” and “diet” foods that are loaded with chemicals linked to weight gain, diabetes, and other health issues:

❌POLYSORBATE 80: An emulsifier linked to weight gain, inflammation and digestive problems.

❌ CELLULOSE: This thickener & emulsifier is usually made from wood, because it’s cheap. It may alter gut bacteria, increase the risk of inflammatory bowel disease, metabolic syndrome, significant weight gain, and cancer.

❌ ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS (SUCRALOSE, ASPARTAME): Although artificial sweeteners have no calories, they have been shown to contribute to weight gain by encouraging sugar cravings. Research finds they stimulate your appetite, increase sugar cravings, and promote fat storage and weight gain.

❌CALCIUM PROPIONATE: This preservative disrupts the metabolism and can promote weight gain. Animal studies show that it also leads to high blood sugar and insulin resistance, which increases the risk of type 2 diabetes.

❌SOYBEAN OIL: Very high in omega-6 fatty acids, which increases the risk of obesity, inflammation, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and autoimmune diseases.

Seek out nutrition first…and the rest will follow! It’s remarkable what real food can do.

Sometimes when my child speaks, I catch myself saying “just a second” - nodding while still looking at a screen, finishing what I was doing first.

But one day, they’ll stop asking for my attention. Not out of anger. Not out of spite. Just… because they’ve learned not to.

And I know that when that day comes, it won’t be the tasks I remember. It’ll be the moments I missed. The eyes I didn’t meet. The chances I had - to show them they mattered.

So I’m trying to look up.
Not because I always can. But because one day, I know I’ll wish I had.

And no, it won’t matter whether I was ALWAYS available.
What will matter is whether they felt like they were worth making time for.

Because when our kids feel seen, they don’t stop showing up. They don’t stop asking…

They keep letting us in. ❤️
