Yesterday we made homemade donuts 🍩 for breakfast, this morning I woke up craving all the fresh produce and eggs 🤷🏽‍♀️. The fact that it’s a Monday // what I ate yesterday, doesn’t need to dictate what I eat this morning. If that were the case, if diet mentality, food guilt and body shame still determined what I ate, then let’s be reaaaalll honest these leftover donuts wouldn’t still be here today, I would have freaked out yesterday after eating one and probably ate the rest of them in anticipation of the clean eating I was going to “start” the next day. Intuitive eating is about listening to your cravings AND meeting your needs (the two go hand in hand) it’s about making donuts with your family, enjoying them, AND loving fresh fruits and vegetables and other foods that feel good in your body ✨
Banana Bread Oatmeal making this rainy Saturday 👌🏻 . Recipe: Cook 1 c oats on stovetop in 2 c whole milk . Stir in 1 sliced banana + tsp vanilla while cooking . Once cooked, stir in maple syrup + coconut oil + cinnamon . Serve & top with chopped pecans + more maple & cinnamon for good measure . Read something this week about learning to surrender to what Gods doing in your everyday life, the author talked about starting with the simple concept of surrendering to the weather and how even that can be hard for many of us. So today, I’m practicing. Instead of resenting the fact that the weekend is here and our sunny days have slipped alway, I’m looking for the blessings in a rainy day - staying in with family, working on stuff around the house and resting ✨ . How are you spending your Saturday? What are you surrendering to today?
THIS 🙌🏼. Contrary to what many of us have been taught, healthy body image is NOT necessarily a function of our body shape, body weight, or appearance. It’s not even about having positive body image all of the time (not a real thing). It IS about this ability to respect and connect to our body and it’s needs—a process that takes time and work, but one that is doable ❤️ . Definition from: Tylka, T. L (2011). Positive psychology perspective on body image. In Body Image: a handbook of science, practice, and prevention (2nd ed., pp. 56).
Workview today✨. Part of cultivating contentment in this season of life is #unbelieving . ✨UNBELIEVING the things that hold me back from enjoying and embracing my here and now life ✨ UNBELIEVING the lie that I have to do life like the women before me or the women around me in order to do it “right” ✨UNBELIEVING the lie that I have to do it all now, that these are the best and only years of my life. The “young years,” the “professional years” . I’m unbelieving in order to believe in the truth—in order to press into THIS life I’ve been given and find contentment. What are you UNBELIEVING today??
Love shame, every time ❤️
🌸 Spring always comes after winter The sun always rises after the night Peace comes after a storm Insight is gained after confusion And sometimes faith is born out of questioning . To be honest, some of my favorite people are the ones who’ve had an unraveling, the ones who’ve gone through rejection and pain and questioned everything they’ve believed in, but come out the other side with a deeper knowing, a stronger faith and a resiliency that inspires 🌊
I strongly believe that our stories are the most powerful tools we have--more powerful than facts, than degrees or accolades, more powerful than money or status. Our stories have the ability to simultaneously make others feel less alone and to inspire them towards the hope of what could be! Today on the blog, I have the honor of sharing this sweet soul's story of recovery from food, exercise and body image bondage in Christ. Read Sarah's (@livinglikegolden) beautiful words at the link in my bio ☀️
Date night when you have kids = eating foods we’re usually too cheap or too lazy to make @ home, talking about the dumb choices we made in high school , and counting our selves lucky that we didn’t succeed at being all that cool back then 😂
