Preach! I love this. I try to help my patients think this way about food but it's a steep hill to climb. There is a lot of disordered thinking around food that people have a hard time letting go of. This was very on point. Thank you.

It’s so hard to change thinking around food but it’s rewarding when you get to the other side.

Thank you for this piece! I have my own struggles with food and my mindset. However tasting something delicious or that brings joy makes things a little easier.

A little treat made from real food is always good medicine ❤️

Yeah!! Love this. Definitely agree: a little fluff isn't such a big deal if it means I'm a little happier in the taste buds.

That felt like the perfect sprinkle of flaky salt that brings a great cookie into focus. Thank you for this beautiful, spot on piece. Here’s to a tasty season to you and yours!

Review is written! I feel like I was writing a love letter to my bestie.. Fresh Strawberry Coconut Balls 4eva 🍓🍓.. as for the “meat” of the post. God I needed to hear it. I’m so hard on myself for the 12-15 pounds of extra weight I carry.. how silly it sounds when you say it out loud.

I’m working on it. It doesn’t come naturally to me online but I want all of us to feel a little better and enjoy our food. Glad it’s working ❤️

Thank you for this. I’ve bought two of your books- will buy the third, despite the fact I’m not vegan, but am trying to get better at it. The topic of certain foods being ‘bad’ struck a cord as that was drummed into my head growing up, which led to years of eating disorders, I’m so happy to be free of. Holidays and other gatherings are meant to be enjoyed.

It’s so hard to shake those messages we got when we were young!
