Hi, I’m Amber!
I have been where you are, looking for that one diet, one workout, one anything to make my body smaller. I thought losing weight would improve every aspect of my life. I believed it so much that I became a licensed nutritionist to learn all the weight-loss secrets. Spoiler alert: There are no secrets.
I always got too hungry, lost motivation, or didn’t have the willpower. The weight always came back (and then some). It turns out that my weight wasn’t the problem.
The problem was my relationship with food. I saw food only as a tool to manipulate my body to match society’s (very thin) standard of health and beauty. What to eat was dictated by whatever diet was popular at the time.
I decided to try something radical: Intuitive Eating. I learned to trust my own body to tell me when, what, and how much to eat. I started moving in ways that felt good to me.
I dropped the weight-loss fantasy.
I gained pleasure and satisfaction from eating.
I found peace and comfort in my right-now body.
