As I mentioned in Sunday's post, baked oatmeal was my breakfast mainstay for the first four weeks of my current rotation. I have a few weekdays with long commutes, which means that a pre-cooked, ready-to-eat breakfast was a lifesaver. Plus, it was often freezing in NYC, and something warm and sweet hit the spot.I foresee plenty of baked oatmeals (or baked oatmeal cups) in my future before the winter is over, but I'm officially getting tired of the repetition. ...

Weekend Reading, 2.10.19

[heart_this] February 10, 2019 Nutrition and Wellness

My current internship rotation is a pretty big departure from the last one. It's outpatient nutrition counseling at a community health center with multiple locations around the city; I'm splitting my time between Harlem, Chelsea, and the Bronx. The work is nearly all diabetes management, with some weight management and general nutrition guidance thrown in.The work often feels repetitive, and in some ways I miss the intensity and variety of intellectual ...

Happy Tuesday, all! I'm well behind Superbowl Sunday in posting this chili recipe, but no matter: giant pots of vegan chili are one of my favorite staples to batch cook and keep around, especially during the winter months.

As far as leftovers go, it doesn't get much more versatile than that. I can't believe I'm saying ...

I wanted so much to sit down and write something very thoughtful and reflective today, as I have in past years on my birthday. The last twelve months have certainly given me plenty to say; they’ve been full of interesting insights and realizations, lots of renewed human connection, and important steps toward coming home to…

NEDA Week 2018: Keep Faith

I just want to start this post by thanking every person who’s been part of the NEDA week dialog over the last five days, both here on the blog and over social media. I feel so blessed to be celebrating recovery in your company. “Keep faith” is the final of my five eating disorder recovery…

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…
