Happy Friday, friends. What are you grateful for today? #Repost @rupikaur_ ・・・ page 111 #thesunandherflowers
Today was the last day of the #ditchthedietchallange from @yourhappyhealthyrd2b. Today, the challenge is to continue the process of freeing yourself from diet culture and rejecting the idea you need external rules for how to eat, live, and move your body. Shaking off the diet culture dust ain't easy. It takes practice. Journal, listen to podcasts, follow non-diet practitioners, dive into research, read IE/HAES books or blogs. Reach out for support. . Remember: in intuitive eating, satisfaction is the heart, self-compassion is the spine. Judgement has no place. Carefully listen to the messages of your body. Keep in mind nutrition is a form of self-care and there's room for all the foods you love. The more you practice, the closer you can get to tapping into the inner wisdom your body already has. 💫 . As you continue on this journey, please know it's not a linear path. There are ups and downs, as there are with all things in life. Intuitive Eating is not pass/fail. The goal is that by continuing this process, you can settle into a place where you have a much more peaceful relationship with food + your body, and a whole lot more brain space for important things in life that you value.
#ad **GIVEAWAY** Do you ever have those weeks where meal planning or meal prep just doesn’t go so smoothly? For me, that happens. 🙋 It’s life! With Mr.Feed Your Spark gone over the road during the week, I’m not always in the mood to cook for just myself when I get home after a long day. It’s why I try to have a backup plan of convenient options that are quick, balanced, and leave me feeling satisfied. One of my new favorites to have on hand for those kind of days are frozen meals from Luvo. Ya’ll, to be honest, I’ve never been big on frozen meals because they always seem to lack something such as flavor (!!), fiber, and adequate calories; or they are a sodium bomb, which my body doesn’t appreciate. This isn't the case with Luvo; they've been a serious game changer for me! 💁They make their meals with whole ingredients like veggies, grains, beans, and they actually taste homemade with a lovely balance of herbs and spices. Are you intrigued yet? Want to give them a try? I’m excited to partner with Luvo to giveaway 2 freezer fulls of their yummy products to 1 lucky winner + 1 of their friends! To enter, all ya gotta do is: 1. Follow me (@feedyourspark) and @luvoinc on Instagram. 2. Like this picture. 3. Tag a friend who you think would also love to have a freezer full of yummy, nutrient dense meals that are ready in 5 minutes. On Friday, May 25th, at 12:00 pm CST, I’ll pick a random winner from the comments on this post! Good luck!! . #giveaway #sponsored #mealprep #contest #plantbased #plantpower #luvo #powerbowl #nourishbowl #nourishnotdeprive #balancednotclean #balancedeats #onthego #quickandeasymeals #keepitsimple
"You are perfect. To think anything less is as pointless as a river thinking that it’s got too many curves or that it moves too slowly or that its rapids are too rapid. Says who? You’re on a journey with no defined beginning, middle or end. There are no wrong twists and turns. There is just being. And your job is to be as you as you can be. This is why you’re here. To shy away from who you truly are would leave the world you-less. You are the only you there is and ever will be. I repeat, you are the only you there is and ever will be. Do not deny the world its one and only chance to bask in your brilliance." - Jen Sincero . #mondaymotivation #mondayvibes #beyou #youarenough
Some things this dietitian loves: fancy beers, warmer temps, kitty cuddles, wildflowers, quiet time alone, inside jokes, singing to 90s jams in my car, and food (duh😏). What are some things you love? If you took part in some of the #ditchthedietchallange this week, any wins to share?👇 . . . 📷 #flashback to me enjoying one of my favorite fancy beers: @mothersbrewing Winter Grind coffee beer. Happy Friday, friends. Hope you are making space in life for the things that bring you joy. ❤
Restoring trust with your body's hunger/fullness cues takes practice. When we're born, we are attuned to knowing when to eat and when to stop. Over time, through dieting and rules about eating, we can lose touch with these innate biological signals. . When I ordered this sandwich, I wasn't thinking about the calories. I was instead thinking about: what sounds satisfying? what's my hunger level? will this have a balance of nutrients (carbs, protein, fat, fiber) to help me stay feeling full? . Hunger cues vary from person to person. Some signs can include: empty feeling in stomach, thoughts turning to food, irritability, headache, low energy level, to name a few. Sometimes we may not feel hungry, but we may eat for practical purposes. For example, we have a meeting coming up and decide to have a snack before so that we don't end up feeling ravenous mid-way through. Or maybe we are working on restoring our hunger cues so we eat regularly to help with that. . Are you familiar with your hunger cues? Do you honor your hunger? . #ditchthedietchallange
