Just eat the food!

Remember the diet culture BS of the 2000’s? When we couldn’t eat a bagel because it was the equivalent of 6 slices of bread? When we marketed 100 calorie snack packs to kids? And don’t even get me started on the whole “lettuce wrap/bun” trend.

If you’ve landed here you’re probably healing from diet culture like I am. I’m all about food freedom, loving your body, taking care of mental health….while also being healthy.

Follow along as I take you on my journey to a happier, more confident, healthier me!
