For so long, I saw food as the enemy—something to control, measure, and restrict. But food isn’t just fuel; it’s nourishment for both body and mind.

Instead of obsessing over calories, I started thinking about how food made me feel. What gave me energy? What helped my digestion? What supported my mood?

If you’ve spent years trying different diets, chasing a number on the scale, and feeling like nothing ever truly works, this post is for you.

How many times have you been going on a diet, or started your diet on a Monday, only to fall off it by the time Friday comes along?

Diet culture is a huge issue in our society with so many women falling prey to the never-ending quest to conform with their size and shape. But the reason the diet industry is so big and profitable is because it’s designed to make this continuous cycle of yo-yo dieting one that you believe is the only way to find your worth and happiness.

I want to help women and girls understand what I diet really is, and share why it’s something you actually will have for your whole life, not only a few days or weeks at a time when you have the willpower to force yourself to stay on one.
