I have always been athletic, but I struggled with my body image, binge eating, and yo-yo dieting for years. I tried the South Beach Diet, counting calories aiming for 1200 per day, and even did burpees each time I ate to “burn it off”. Even after I became a dietitian, I struggled with putting myself first, managing stress, and used food to cope. I would eat chips & salsa or chocolate until I felt miserable.
​
It wasn't until I started putting myself first, investing in myself, focusing more on health than diets, and including all the foods I loved that I have had a body I love for the longest I can ever remember, and still eat foods like chips and chocolate on the regular. Now my passion is helping people who struggle like I did change their lives and find the same food freedom I have found.
