Following yesterday’s post, here is the male version! Young boys also gain a substantial amount of weight during the years surrounding puberty and after and that’s completely normal! Share with anyone you know with a kid that age💙!!

Something I think EVeRyONe needs a reminder on! It is NORMAL for kids to gain a fair amount of weight during and around puberty years! I hear from concerned parents far too often about something that is totally normal and appropriate! This is your reminder that females gain on average 40 lb. During these years and continue to gain even more weight as we approach 20 years old! Yes, we can body fat for sure because it’s crucial, but we’re also building muscle mass, bone density, organs are growing etc!
Keep this in mind if you’re a parent or even if you’re a teenager, it’s normal to gain weight and OKAY💕!

It dawned on me the other day that I have a lot of different dessert or sweet foods in my house right now! Years ago this wouldn’t have been possible for me without behaviors or constantly thinking about what was in the house.
Now? There’s dessert in the house and it’s just there. Sometimes I want it, sometimes I don’t, sometimes I forget it’s even there. But the point is, I get to choose. Not the fear, not the guilty, me!
One of the hardest parts of healing from an eating disorder is rebuilding trust…with your body, with food, and with desserts. Keeping these foods might feel terrifying at first. You may worry you’ll lose control or do something wrong, but this truly is the way to get to food peace and freedom!
Recovery and eating isn’t about rigid rules or perfect eating. It’s about flexibility, permission and self compassion. So if there is even 1 dessert in your house right now (because you have to start somewhere) and you’re learning to coexist with it….thats huge and that’s healing! You’ll get there 💕

Intuitive exercise can look a lot of different ways! Different seasons of life will also look different. Unraveling eating disorder and compulsive/obligatory exercise thoughts is HARD work and you CAN do it! It takes time, patience and practice, but you CAN have a healthy relationship with exercise.

Let's not forget that the serving size on a package is an arbitrary number that does not tell you how much food you actually need in any given moment or day! What we need depends on us individually! What would it be like today if you listened to your body rather than a serving size suggestion?
