1. No one died
2. I did not commit a crime
3. This physical feeling will go away
4. I will not gain 5 # from this meal
5. It’s normal to sometimes eat past fullness (and yes, “sometimes” is a super vague word to use- on purpose)
6. I can be curious about why I overate without labeling it as “bad”
7. Maybe I needed the extra energy, maybe the food just tasted “that good”, maybe I was filling another need
8. The meal is over, let’s move on.

Some of us were taught that eating has to be justified
By hunger.
By exercise.
By being “good enough” that day.

So when food is just… appealing?
Fun?
Comforting?
Celebratory?
That can feel wrong — even when nothing is wrong at all.

Eating for pleasure doesn’t cancel out eating for nourishment.
Eating when you’re emotional doesn’t mean you’ve failed.
Eating on a random Tuesday doesn’t need permission from yesterday.

The goal isn’t to only eat for one reason.
It’s to trust yourself with all the reasons food shows up in your life.

Follow me if this feels hard- you’re not broken — you were trained out of it.
And that can be unlearned. 🤍

Save this for the days you feel like you need a rule to eat.

Somewhere along the way, we were taught that eating after a certain hour is a character flaw.

Like your body checks the clock and says,
“Sorry, kitchen’s closed. Everything after 8pm is adding to the muffin-top"

Late-night hunger usually isn’t a problem to fix.
It’s information.

Maybe dinner wasn’t enough.
Maybe your day was long.
Maybe your body is… being a body.

Feeding yourself when you’re hungry — even at night — isn’t “giving up.”
It’s basic care.

If eating after 8pm makes you anxious, obsessed, or guilty… that’s not a timing issue.
That’s diet culture talking.

And yes — you’re allowed to eat anyway. 🤍

Follow for more eye-rolling around diet culture and save this for the next time hunger shows up “too late.”

If your brain is planning dessert while you’re still chewing lunch, it’s not a self-control issue.

It’s usually a sign of:
• not eating enough earlier
• meals that feel “meh” instead of satisfying
• or dessert still being treated like a once-in-a-while event instead of just… food

When food feels scarce or off-limits, your brain stays on high alert — even mid-meal.

The goal isn’t to stop thinking about food.
It’s to eat in a way that lets your brain finally relax around it.

And yes — that includes permission, satisfaction, and enough food.

Follow me for the next time lunch feels like a preview instead of the main event 🤍

This is what health looks like for me — and it didn’t come from rules, tracking, or perfection.

It came from paying attention.
From resting when I need rest.
From eating when I’m hungry.
From choosing foods I actually enjoy.

None of this makes me “less healthy.”
It makes it sustainable.

If your version of healthy doesn’t look like someone else’s on the internet, that’s not a problem — that’s the point.

Your body isn’t confused.
It just needs permission to stop performing and start responding.

Healthy isn’t one look.
It’s what works for you

So many of us didn’t just learn what to eat — we learned how to feel about food.

And for a lot of us, that meant shame, secrecy, and rules that followed us well into adulthood.

That moment with my daughter stopped me in my tracks.
Not because it was rehearsed or perfect — but because it showed me what’s possible when food isn’t treated like a reward, a test, or something to fear.

We don’t have to parent perfectly to break the cycle.
We just have to be willing to tell a different story than the one we were handed.

If this hit close to home, you’re not behind — you’re doing the work.

And I’d love to hear… what’s one food rule you’re intentionally leaving behind with your kids? 💛

01/21/2026

I’ll admit it — there was a time I told my husband, “Get your own cookies.”
I thought I was being “balanced” because I allowed dessert… just not often. Like once a month or so.

What I didn’t realize then?
That was still restriction.

Me with desserts I don’t eat often:
✨ guarding them like a dragon with gold ✨

Me when desserts are allowed regularly:
“Oh yeah, you can have one.”

If your brain is tracking every bite, counting what’s left, or panicking about sharing — that’s usually not a willpower problem.
It’s a sign dessert isn’t happening often enough.

Follow me if you've ever felt like a greedy 5 year old with your desserts!

01/20/2026

Ever notice how “this is so good, I can’t stop eating” usually isn’t about the dessert…

It’s about scarcity.

When a food feels rare (like holiday foods), off-limits, or “last chance,” your brain flips into:
👉 eat it now
👉 eat more than you want
👉 who knows when you’ll have this again

That’s not lack of control.
That’s a nervous system responding to restriction.

The irony?
When foods are allowed regularly—without guilt—the urgency fades.
You enjoy it and you naturally stop when it’s enough.

If this thought shows up a lot for you, it’s not a willpower issue.
It’s a sign your relationship with food needs more permission, not more rules.

Follow me for the next time a dessert feels way louder than it should 🍰✨

That tiny sliver turns into five real fast when brownies feel restricted.
Not because you lack control — but because your brain is negotiating.

✨ “If I just take a little… it doesn’t really count.”
✨ “Okay one more to make it even.”
✨ “Well now I’ve basically had one, so…”

This is what food rules do.
They turn brownies into math problems instead of food.

A full brownie eaten on purpose usually ends the loop way faster than five sneaky slivers ever will.

Follow me for the next time you're considering a sliver instead of a real brownie serving.

01/16/2026

You weren’t out of control.
You were negotiating with a craving.

An apple.
A rice cake.
Some yogurt.
A granola bar.

Still thinking about the Oreo… because that’s what you actually wanted.

This is what happens when we try to “out-smart” cravings instead of listening to them.
The food isn’t the problem — the rules around it are.

When you give yourself permission to eat the Oreo without guilt, it usually ends with… a couple Oreos.
Not the whole sleeve eaten in frustration.

Cravings aren’t a failure of willpower.
They’re information.

And honoring them earlier is often the most peaceful option 🍪✨

Follow me for the next time you’re trying to eat around the food you really want.

✨ You have stretches of the day where you’re not thinking about food
That usually means your body is getting enough fuel. When nutrition is adequate, food doesn’t have to live rent-free in your brain all day.

✨ You p**p most days (yes, it matters)
Daily bowel movements are a good sign you’re eating regularly, getting some fiber, and drinking enough fluids. Not glamorous — but very telling.

✨ Choosing what to eat isn’t a big deal
When food decisions feel pretty neutral, it’s often because you’re not tangled up in a bunch of “shoulds,” labels, or food guilt.

✨ You get hungry around similar times each day
Regular meals = predictable hunger cues. Sporadic eating often leads to either no hunger signals… or ravenous ones that come out of nowhere.

✨ You can eat off-schedule without panicking
An unplanned snack or meal doesn’t send you into a spiral because you trust your body to adjust day to day.

If your version of “healthy” doesn’t look perfect but feels calm, flexible, and sustainable — you’re probably doing better than you think 💛

Follow me for the days you’re convinced you’re “doing it wrong.”

Ever notice how the moment you label a food as “bad,” it suddenly becomes the only thing your brain can think about?

That’s not a lack of willpower.
That’s restriction doing exactly what it does best: making food louder.

Cravings don’t disappear when you try harder.
They soften when permission is real.

And yes—sometimes that means brownies.
Other times it’s fruit.
Often it’s both, because humans are not robots or Pinterest meal plans.

If your brain has been stuck in food-rule survival mode, this is your reminder:
You’re not broken. The rules are.

👉 Follow for non-diet sarcasm, science, and peace around food.
