#### Having a toxic relationship with food is a part of my story, too.
Before I worked as a binge eating dietitian and emotional eating coach, **I dabbled in every form of disordered eating you can imagine**. For too long, I was ADDICTED to logging the calories of everything I ate and making sure my workout would “count”, only to find myself losing control and feeling immense shame that my “willpower” failed. I’d promise myself that tomorrow would be better, and so the cycle continued. Now that these struggles are behind me, I’ve emerged stronger. As we explore intuitive eating, food psychology and body image together, you’ll rediscover the joy of food and experience a **life free from the heavy burden of stress around food and your body.**

🍩 Conquer binge + overeating, food guilt, & the all-or-nothing mentality
🤍 Heal your relationship with food/body

 ![👇🏻 RECIPE 👇🏻
My motto is “Live Nourished & Free®”. Translation: FUEL your body with nourishing foods (especially fibrous ones), but have the freedom to also enjoy real cake when it’s worth it to you (without guilt, shame, or judgement). It’s not one or the other 😊
So for the times when you’re needing more fiber but want to make it fun, try this recipe out! ⬇️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎂  1 can of chickpeas aka garbanzo beans, drained & rinsed
🎂 1/4 cup of any nut butter (I’ve found that cashew is the best, and almond is 2nd best)
🎂 About 13-15 large PITTED dates, microwaved for 1-2 mins with 1/4 c. water then drained OR soaked for 8 hrs in the water then drained (but who honestly thinks that far ahead!?)
🎂 2 T rolled oats
🎂 A generous helping of vanilla
🎂 1 scoop of birthday cake protein powder (comment ‘birthday cake’ and I’ll send over link to the one I use)
🎂 Roughly 1/4 C. milk of choice to aid in consistency
🎂 Rainbow sprinkles
Blend all ingredients besides sprinkles in a food processor until smooth. Top with rainbow sprinkles 🧁
Eat with graham crax, carrots, or celery (don’t hate it until you try it). 🥕
Will you be trying this??

Idea creds for this reel go to @huss.bey - I think a lot of us can relate 🙃
Truth is, we often do this if we’ve formed an unhealthy relationship with food - for many, that looks like eating to avoid uncomfortable emotions (boredom being one of them).
Interested in learning the psychological reasons why you overeat? 👇
I have a great 2-minute quiz that can help you find this out! Just comment “quiz” below and I’ll send it right to ya for free 🤍✨
