The problem with cooking dinner while hungry?
Your brain is like:
✨ “Respectfully… where is the chocolate cake?” ✨

When you’re starving, your body wants fast, fun, immediate energy — not a meal that still has 20 minutes left.

That doesn’t mean dinner is wrong.
It means your hunger is loud.

Eating a snack, tasting as you cook, or wanting dessert before dinner isn’t “ruining your appetite.”
It’s being human.

If cooking while hungry always turns into chaos, overeating, or guilt — you’re not broken. There’s a pattern underneath it.

(And yes — cake can still be part of dinner 😉)

Hot take:
It’s not your lack of kale holding you back.
It’s the fact that you’re barely eating enough to keep a phone battery charged.

As a dietitian, the #1 thing I see holding people back isn’t sugar, carbs, or snacks…
It's chronic under-eating.

Step one: eat enough.
Step two: build balance from there.

Your energy, mood, and cravings will thank you.

You ever plan your “nighttime treat” all day…

Healing your relationship with food means you get to check in in the moment — not follow rules you made hours ago.

Ice cream gets to be eaten because it sounds good.
Not because you were good.

That’s the work I do with my 1:1 clients — helping them stop negotiating with food and finally feel calm around it again.

If you’re trying to bring pizza back into your life after cutting it out, this might feel painfully familiar.

You told yourself:
I’m allowed to eat this now.
I’m going to do it differently this time.
I won’t overeat.

And then… you did.

That doesn’t mean pizza is the problem.
And it doesn’t mean you failed.

When a food has been restricted for a long time, giving yourself intellectual permission doesn’t instantly undo years of fear, rules, and scarcity.

Sometimes overeating still happens — even when you’re trying your best to be gentle.

That’s not a sign you should give up and avoid the food again.
It’s part of the process of rebuilding trust.

Healing your relationship with food isn’t linear.
There are awkward meals.
Regretful bites.
Moments where you think, “Why am I still struggling with this?”

Those moments don’t mean you’re going backwards.
They’re information — and they deserve compassion, not punishment.

You’re allowed to keep practicing.
You’re allowed to eat pizza again.
And you’re allowed to give yourself grace while your body learns it’s truly safe.

• You’re allowed to eat the foods you actually want.
You don’t have to survive the night on the veggie tray to prove anything.

• No one is monitoring your plate.
Everyone is far more focused on what they’re eating than what’s on yours.

• You have no idea what anyone else ate earlier today.
So there’s no prize for eating “less” and no failure for eating “more.”

• It’s okay if you overeat.
Some of these foods show up once a year — enjoying them doesn’t mean you did anything wrong.

A few extra reminders:
✨ Eat earlier in the day so you don’t arrive starving
✨ You don’t need a strategy to “be good”
✨ You can pause, check in, and keep eating if you want
✨ January doesn’t need to fix December

The goal isn’t control.
It’s being present, enjoying yourself, and not leaving the party at war with your body.

Save this for later (before walking into the party)

Those comments aren’t jokes.
They’re diet culture dressed up as “motivation.”

Running on January 1 to make up for food.
Hiding your body in baggy sweatshirts.
Punishing yourself for choosing joy over the gym.

None of that leads to health.
None of that leads to peace.
And none of that is required to enjoy the holidays.

You don’t need to earn food.
You don’t need to undo December.
You don’t need to punish your body for living your life.

If these thoughts pop up for you this time of year, you’re allowed to opt out of that story—starting now, not January.

When you turn brownies into a “forbidden food,” your brain does exactly what brains do:
it obsesses.
All. Day. Long.

The more power you give brownies, the louder they get.
That’s not a craving problem — that’s a restriction problem.

Neutral food = quiet brain.
Fear food = nonstop mental chatter.

Let brownies be brownies and watch the obsession fade.

You’re allowing sweets… but still thinking about them ALL the time— and it’s confusing as hell.

Here’s what’s usually happening 👇
You’re technically “allowed” to eat the brownie…
But it still feels controlled, earned, limited, or conditional.

Maybe:
• You only allow it at night
• You limit the portion
• You compensate earlier or later
• You’re already thinking about how to “balance it out”

So your body still feels scarcity.

And when food feels scarce — even mentally — bingeing makes sense.

What actually helps isn’t just permission.
It’s neutrality + consistency

Eating sweets:
✨ without earning them
✨ without waiting all day
✨ without planning how to undo them

That’s how the binge urge quiets.

This is the work I do with my 1:1 clients — helping them stop bingeing even when sweets are included and finally feel calm around food again.

Stopping bingeing or overeating is hard — way harder than a single post or carousel can show.

Because it’s not just “let yourself eat the food” and magically everything clicks.
There are layers: the guilt, the food rules, the fear of losing control, the years of dieting…
and trying to untangle all of that on your own can feel overwhelming.

If you’re stuck in the start-over-tomorrow cycle…
If you feel out of control around certain foods…
If you know why it’s happening but can’t seem to stop…

You don’t have to figure it out alone.

This is exactly what I help my clients with in 1:1 nutrition coaching — breaking the binge/restrict cycle, rebuilding trust with food, and finally feeling peaceful and confident around eating again.

If you’re ready for real support instead of more rules and shame, send me a message.
You deserve a relationship with food that feels calm, not chaotic.

Skipping the cookies has never healed the guilt.
Avoiding the “fun foods” has never stopped the cravings.
And white-knuckling your way through December has never fixed someone’s relationship with food.

If anything… it usually makes it worse.

Because the more you restrict, the louder the cravings get.
The more you avoid, the more you obsess.
The more rules you add, the more “out of control” food starts to feel.

Here’s the truth I teach my clients:
You don’t become healthier by fearing your food — you become healthier by trusting yourself with it.

So yes… eat the Christmas cookie.
Eat it on purpose.
Enjoy it without mentally tallying how you’ll “make up for it” later.

Your relationship with food gets healed through permission, not punishment.

If you’re ready to finally break the binge–restrict cycle and feel normal around food again, my DMs are open. I can help you get there — without skipping the cookies. 🍪✨

12/12/2025

Let's start here:
You’re allowed to enjoy holiday food without announcing a cleanse, a reset, a calorie goal, or a “new me in Jan” launch plan. And you absolutely don’t need to shrink yourself to fit in with everyone’s diet talk.

If you’re trying to enjoy the season and protect your relationship with food, here’s your permission slip to:
✨ Change the subject
✨ Excuse yourself
✨ Nod politely and keep eating
✨ Remind yourself that their rules aren’t your rules

You can opt out of the food guilt tradition this year.
You can choose peace over diet chatter.
And you can enjoy your damn cookie in December — without planning how to “make up for it” in January.

If you want more support navigating holiday diet culture (and actually enjoying food again), follow along — or send me a message. I can help you make this the season you finally break the cycle. 🎄🍪✨

Everyone’s terrified of overeating…
but almost no one talks about how undereating wrecks your energy, metabolism, hunger cues, mood, digestion, and relationship with food.

Undereating can look like:
☕ relying on coffee instead of breakfast
🍽️ tiny meals + willpower
🥗 “clean eating” that’s actually under-fueling
😫 feeling out of control around food later

If you’re tired, anxious around food, thinking about food 24/7, or binge-prone…
it might not be a “willpower problem.”
It might be that you’re simply not eating enough.

Your body isn’t trying to sabotage you — it’s trying to survive.
Fuel it consistently and watch how everything shifts.
