get to know me

FUN FACTS!

  1. I am a military brat, so I grew up all over the country. I was actually born in Okinawa, Japan.
  2. In my free time, I love to bake. My favorite things to make are cupcakes and 6-inch cakes because you get to experiment with fun flavors and get creative with decorating techniques.
  3. I have two dogs who I love more than anything in the world. Sheldon (named after Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory- my favorite TV show!) is a French Bulldog. Jane is a black lab and a retired seeing-eye dog!
  4. I was a level 10 gymnast at WOGA for 5 years before earning a full-ride athletic scholarship to The University of Georgia.
  5. I enjoy antique shopping on the weekends. My house is filled with antique furniture and other collectibles.

Dieting is a life suck, oftentimes without us know Dieting is a life suck, oftentimes without us knowing it's even happening. Have you ever thought about ways that dieting or disordered eating has affected your life beyond just food? 
.
If you feel open to exploring this further, here are some questions that may be helpful:
👉 How does your relationship with food impact your decision about going out with friends for a fun night out?
👉 Do you ever find yourself choosing not to spend time with people you care about because you're not comfortable with the food options (or you don't know what they are in advance)?
👉 How much time do you spend each day calculating calories or macros in order to plan out what you are "allowed" to eat that day? How might this affect your life? Or the lives of those around you (partner, kids, friends, etc.)?
👉 If you were able to get that time back, what would you do with it? Would you spend it the same way?
👉 Does how you feel about your body ever change from day-to-day or even multiple times a day? If so, why might this be?
👉 Is it possible that you may still not be content or fulfilled in a smaller body? Have you ever met a person in a smaller body who wasn't satisfied with their body?
👉 When you are 100 years old on your death bed, what experiences, relationships, or adventures would bring you a sense of peace, fulfillment, joy, & meaning? What are the things that would make you able to say in that moment, "I couldn't have asked for more...it was everything I hoped it would be"?
.
Dieting & disordered eating robs you of so much more than just "missing out on foods" you enjoy. ⛔
.
Instead, disordered eating steals your sense of agency; robs you of precious time with those you love that you can never get back; leaves you feeling like a "failure"; tells you the lie that your health is largely determined by your body size and what you eat; convinces you that you cannot be enough unless you take up less space. Dieting may not end up making your body smaller, but it will make your life MUCH smaller😢.
