Heeeeeey Y'all! Not a whole ton has changed in the past week, but I've done some good thinking and sorting out in my head and heart. I've had some high highs and low lows with my mental health, and that has taken up more of my energy than I'd like, but that's just life right [...]

August 1 Intuitive Eating Update
Hey Y'all! It's a new month and I am ready with some new thoughts, changes, updates, and resources! First, I'm down five pounds (at least) since my last post nine days ago! Obviously, this is not the thing that matters most, and I'll get into that more in a bit, but it tells me that [...]

What if it's just stressing me both emotionally and physically and even slowing down the progress I'm looking for? About two months ago, something shifted in my thinking, big time. I'm not going to go into tons of detail [...]
