Diets Don’t Work, Gilbert, AZ (2026)

Diets don’t work. They are designed to leave you believing that YOU are the problem and that YOU have failed. Don’t be a puppet on a string. Take your power back.

Let’s clear something up. 👀

Health isn’t just about what you eat. It’s also about how you think and feel around food.

What can that look like this time of year?

👉Going to dinner with friends, even if you ate earlier
👉Saying yes to dessert without guilt or “good vs. bad” labels
👉Eating a snack because you’re hungry, not to test your willpower

Healthy eating in January can include food freedom, flexibility, and nourishment without self-criticism, fear, or stress. 💛

Follow for gentle reminders to help you break free from diet culture this year. ✨

Diet culture isn't going away anytime soon.

But we can all be part of changing the conversations in our families, friend groups, and community.

And that is, in fact, changing the cultural norms and expectations for better.

Your weight does NOT define your health.

Humans can be fat and healthy just as they can be thin and have health issues.

When we know health is so much more complex than body weight or diet -with at least 30-55% being socio-economic* - why do health messages focus so much on an individual’s weight and nutrition???

Other key determinants of health include;
- how active we are; socially, mentally and physically
- day to day levels of stress
- social isolation
- weight stigma and the shame that comes with this

(all of these are influenced by socio-economic circumstances and all of these influence each other in a complex web)

So addressing these issues is highly complex and difficult, and it would require huge systemic and cultural change.

It is so much easier (and lazier) to make individuals and their weight/BMI responsible for health.

Note: I completely understand why people want to lose weight. It is easier to move through the world in a smaller body; physically, socially and mentally. Weight stigma and how tightly bound our appearance and worthiness makes it incredibly difficult for most people to be ok with their body if it doesn’t fit an acceptable size/shape.

But you absolutely can take care of your health while at a higher body weight and being higher weight does not automatically make you less healthy than someone in a smaller body.

Recovery from disordered eating begins with the understanding that the disordered eating behavior served you when your goal was survival. This understanding is then followed by the development of new skills that will enable you not to simply survive, but to get what you want out of life, to thrive. Survival is no longer the only goal. The goal becomes one that includes a life that is rich and fulfilling.⁠
⁠
It is a gradual, step-by-step process that calls for letting go of judgment ("there is something wrong with me"), the development of some important life skills, and learning to trust that inner voice that will tell you when you are ready.⁠

I think more people — parents and non-parents alike need this memo. Please share if you agree!

When “wellness” asks us to override our body’s needs—to push through hunger, ignore exhaustion, or sacrifice joy—it’s not wellness. It’s control wrapped in green juice and productivity culture. And there is a reason (well, many) that it’s sold to us in this way.

Because controlling bodies (especially marginalized ones) is profitable.
Because thinness is still falsely equated with morality.
Because joy, stillness, and nourishment aren’t considered “productive.”
Because we’re harder to silence if we’re fed and rested.

This feels especially important to remember this time of year.

So please remember, you don’t owe anyone mastery over your body.
You aren’t missing out when someone talks about their plan (ahem, this is just a made up marketing term.)
You don’t need to become a perfectly optimized version of yourself.

You get to rest.
You get to eat.
You get to live in this body, not battle it.

Let that be the practice. ❤️

If body image feels extra hard these days…
it’s because it is.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We’re living in the Ozempic Era, where rapid weight loss is trending content, “before & afters” are everywhere (again), and shrinking is treated like a personal virtue.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When everyone around you seems to be getting smaller, saying they are “so full” after two bites of food, or praised for disappearing, it makes sense if your body feels like too much.
If comparison creeps back in.
If body acceptance feels lonely.
If you look around and suddenly you are standing in the body positivity movement all alone.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You’re not doing this work wrong.
There’s nothing broken about you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In today’s culture, these feelings couldn’t be more normal.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The problem isn’t your body or your mindset, it’s a world that keeps asking bodies to be projects instead of homes.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You were never meant to disappear to be worthy.
Accepting your body is not a failure. It’s resistance.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Healing your relationship with your body in this climate is hard *and* you’re doing it anyway. That’s pretty damn spectacular 👏🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Save this for the days the noise gets loud, and if you want support, my bio has therapy and anti-diet resources grounded in weight-inclusive care. 🤍

Your body will adapt to caloric restriction☝🏼

This is why dieting may feel like it is “working” in the short-term… until it doesn’t.

Then you are in this position where you are exhausted 24/7, think about food every second of the day, experience hormone and digestive issues that weren’t there before, and you feel like you have a “slow” metabolism📉

If you are anything like the ladies I work with, you might be afraid of eating more food since this has likely become your “normal” for so long🫣

However, your body deserves more than the bare minimum - and to be FULLY nourished so that you can truly THRIVE🙌🏼 and live a life where you are not having to meticulously tracking every single calorie📲

If you are struggling to know how much to eat for your needs and want to gain 1:1 support to help you overcome your struggles with food, hormones and digestion - what I teach my clients in my private coaching, Nourished to Thrive would be perfect for you 🫶🏼 Visit the 🔗 in bio to apply!

Let’s make 2026 the year you start FEELING your best. 🎉

➡️ And every time that inner bully starts to scream at you, telling you that the only way you’re going to be worthy or deserving of love is if you start a diet and lose weight...

Remind yourself of WHY you’re choosing food freedom instead!

Focusing on weight loss and dieting has left you with the following:

❎ Feeling obsessed with food.
❎ Never feeling good enough, no matter how small you get.
❎ Feeling like a failure.
❎ Trapped in the diet/binge cycle.
❎ Avoiding spending time with friends/family due to certain foods present, potential judgments from others, or self-hatred from bingeing.
❎ And so much more.

You DESERVE more than this!! And to discover a life full of happiness, mental freedom, and an easy relationship with food, you need to start doing things that bring you closer to that.

Such as:
✅ Allowing yourself time to rest without feeling guilty.
✅ Spending less time mindlessly scrolling through social media.
✅ Finding a new hobby you really enjoy.
✅ Adding more variety to your food (aka you can eat more than chicken and broccoli).
✅ Speaking kinder to yourself in the mirror.
✅ Wearing clothes that make you feel comfortable.
✅ Going to therapy.

Which of these are you going to START doing in 2026?!

Eating disorders are never just about food.

They’re about the identities we’re handed, the coping strategies we adopt, and the behaviors we witnessed as normal growing up.

When control looks like discipline, question who benefits from it. When restriction is praised as worth, ask why.
When your body resists before your mind catches up, listen.

An eating disorder isn’t a failure of will.
It’s a survival strategy shaped by culture, fear, and pressure. Recovery isn’t fixing a body, it’s refusing an identity that gradually takes over.

Food is not the enemy, your body is not a project, and ending the war is not weakness, it’s reclamation.

You’re not alone and you can do this! 💛
