if you’re ever not sure, know that carbs are the answer! but in all seriousness, for so many years i avoided carbs because the internet told me to do so to achieve my goals. but i was lacking energy and cranky, and then i rediscovered carbs and all of the sudden life got so much better.

my diet is all inclusive ✌🏼 no foods left behind. i am going to be so real and honest with all of you and let you know that there is not one diet under the sun that i have not tried. but the best i felt? with no restrictions at all. from personal experience, not only do diets mess with your physical health, but they take up so much of your mental capacity that there simply is not space for anything else. so when i let the diets go, i suddenly had room in my life for everything else.

getting real and raw today ✌🏼 social media can be fun and light, but it should also be real. i’m so happy you’re here and that you let me share all of me with all of you!

healing is like this: 📈📉📈📉📈 not everyday is perfect and that’s totally ok. some days i feel strong inside and out and some days i’m not feeling the most confident in my own skin. but i think what helps me get past the lower days is remembering why i chose to heal my relationship with food and my body. i chose to heal for days like this one. i chose to put my physical and mental health first so i could wear a fun outfit and get a snack at the arena and smile and cheer even on a not so good day. i chose to remember each day for the happy and exciting and unforgettable moments and not let those be overshadowed by my food fears or lack of confidence.

healing means actually enjoying your coffee ☕️ if you’re the kind of person that loves a black iced coffee then by all means, don’t let me stop you. but if you are holding yourself back from adding sweetener into your coffee because you’re afraid of the extra sugar, let me just go ahead and tell you that that extra sugar is so worth it. a little extra sugar in your coffee won’t ruin your day and it won’t ruin the progress of whatever journey you’re on and it just tastes so good it’ll make you so much happier than the bitter coffee you’re telling yourself you like.

yes i know i’m eating onion rings and not chips, but these onion rings looked too good to pass up… i used to spend months before a vacation stressing over food. i’d try to find “clean” alternatives anywhere i went and i would literally panic if i didn’t know all the ingredients in everything i was eating. and then i’d spend even longer stressing after the trip over the extra calories i’d eaten and the workouts i missed. but before this trip there was none of that. the only thing i thought about was the concert i was attending and the time i was spending with my husband and all the new food i couldn’t wait to try! and after? i just couldn’t wait to see my dog. so if you need a sign to start your healing journey, let this be it 🤍

lovin my little list and i stand by it! #sponsored i am the biggest advocate for listening to your body and doing what you feel works best for you. so here’s what is working for me currently: 1. spending time in the sun is essential. i honestly do not love summer, but i do love feeling tan... i’ll say it lol 2. snacks are what get me through the day let’s be real. fruit, sweets, a lil something savory. if i’m hangry, i get nothing done 3. i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again: journaling is not my thing. i feel like it’s just something else on my to-do list and it does not do it for me. so i skip it! my mind reset? reading a spicy romance book 4. moving my body is my favorite activity. walks, yoga, tap class, any movement will do as long as it’s after 10 am 5. iron supplements daily to support healthy red blood cell production.* my go to of course is from @solarayvitamins and you can use the link in my bio for %15 off your supplements. #livebrightersolaray #solaraypartner *These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.

i’m always down for a good time, as long as that good time takes place at an appropriate hour ✌🏼 i always joke that i’m a “go with the flow” kind of gal, as long as the flow is well planned out and reasonable and the weather is perfect and i feel confident in my outfit and i know who’s there in advance and i can maybe bring my book… you?
