Happy Satiated Saturday! Recently, I put out a ​post​ on social media discussing how do you know when you need more or less structure with food. It was a clear yes that you all wanted me to go into more detail on this. It has been a common suggestion​ when healing your relationship with food that you need to eat all foods. Food habituation refers to a psychological phenomenon where repeated exposure to a particular food, especially ones you have denied or restricted, decreases the d...

Happy Satiated Saturday! What I have seen is that even after food coping mechanisms like binge eating, emotional eating, restricting, or chronic dieting stops, body image concerns continue to hang around the longest.

The warm weather may be calling to you to get outside where you might be more seen and your body doesn...

What Are Your Body Image Challenges Somatically Trying To Tell You?

Happy Satiated Saturday! My first memories of leaning on food to not feel takes me back to middle school. There were things going on at home that were way too much for such a young little girl to navigate and process. I was bullied at sleepaway camp and Hebrew School.

When I looked this up, the optimal income name was called the Satiation Point and it suggests that beyond a certain level of income or wealth, additional money doesn't significantly contribute t...
