It’s week 2 as a nutrition student and my professors for anatomy and physiology, chemistry and my food science classes have all said repeatedly to eat *all* macronutrients (carbs, fats and proteins) as they all fill up important roles in our bodies

So here’s your reminder that all macronutrients are important and although diet culture might make you think the contrary, you don’t need to cut any of them out 💛

Being sober curious allows me to use the principles of intuitive eating to choose foods that will nourish me- body or mind (sometimes green vegetables and sometimes a smiley cookie)- instead of restricting because of ‘alcohol calories’ or consuming mindlessly (or bingeing) when I’m drunk or hungover. It gives me a sense of balance and stability that I didn’t have when I was getting drunk every weekend.

It means being present and mindful with my thoughts, behaviours and FEELINGS and the way those affect my food choices. This year I committed to feeling my feelings! Sometimes I still eat a cookie even though I know I’m only eating it because I feel sad or overwhelmed or angry. At least I can be present and aware! Sometimes food is just comfort 🍪

Finally, it has started to give me freedom around foods! I eat a cookie when I WANT a cookie (literally every single time) and then I don’t binge on cookies! ✨

Toast with toppings is definitely my favorite easy breakfast. It’s so satisfying to have both a sweet and savory option, and honestly toasted sour dough with warm, merely peanut butter may be the key to my heart.

a very happy monday

my sister was in reno/tahoe visiting her boyfriends family so chris and i met them for a beach day in the mountains and i know i’ve stated this 5 billion times but tahoe is my dreamland

on our way to tahoe, chris pulled over so i could take a phone call and i got a NEW JOB. and i am PSYCHED. and i worked my butt for for it and to get here and i feel so so lucky. i’m not sure if i’ll share many details about it, but i’ll be working under an RD in an eating disorder setting, sooo..it’s basically what i’ve been dreaming of all of undergrad.

been researching grad school and internships and getting extra overwhelmed about paying for it, applying, doubting myself, etc. any RD’s or RD2be’s please send me your encouragement and tips

i drove home last week and it was an interesting trip. honestly, it was hard on my mental health to be in the house w/ my parents. and i really like what @championsaremade said the other day about outgrowing some of your parents tendencies and feeling grief over it. i felt those and am still feeling them, but i’m also so thankful to have them.

feeling a mix of emotions but am also counting my blessings! thank you for reading
