Happy Thursday, everyone! Amazingly, this is the very last morning of my current clinical rotation. Putting aside the overall challenges of the DI itself—new schedule, lots of oversight, lack of privacy—my seven weeks at this site have been a wonderful learning experience, with supportive and caring dietitians as teachers. I'm still struggling to wrap my mind around a whole year of this kind of work, but I'm feeling grateful that my first rotation was such a ...

This post is sponsored by So Delicious Dairy Free Frozen Mousse. All opinions are my own, and I love this light and creamy new treat. Thanks for your support!One of the first cooking routines to fall by the wayside when I'm busy is baking, which is a shame, because I love it so very much. It's hard to justify the time spent baking bread or mixing the batter for a cake when I have a lot of necessary weekly batch cooking to take care of, but I inevitably perk up ...

Weekend Pause

[heart_this] October 14, 2018 Nutrition and Wellness

Hi friends. I'm taking a pause instead of getting weekend reading up tonight. No urgent reason, but I've had a lot of work to do today, and I'm feeling the need to wind down early. I've got something on my mind to write about, but doing so tonight would mean rushing, and it would give me less time to finish up my batch cooking, watch a little TV, maybe even pay a visit to my mom. These are things that my body and soul are asking for this evening.So, I'll be ...

NEDA Week 2018: Be Love

“Be love” is one of those expressions that you might have come across in any number of places, from yoga studios to self-help and wellness titles. It’s one of most important of my five ED recovery affirmations, but I feel a little funny writing about it, because I don’t have much to say that relates…

NEDA Week 2018: Break Your Rules

Not too long ago I chatted with a client who told me, “I’m realizing more and more that I need to break my rules, because I made them all up.” She delivered the words straightforwardly, and I didn’t have the feeling that she expected a big reaction from me. Still, I nearly fell out of…
