Could you be dieting without even knowing it??

Now, you might be saying, "Heck no, Katie, I ditched dieting a long time ago!"

If this sounds like you, I want you to know that I'm so proud of you for drawing that line in the sand and swearing off dieting for good. But I also want you to know that the journey away from dieting is rarely linear.

It's so important for us to understand that diet-like behaviors can be sneaky, especially in this weight loss-crazed world that we live in. That's why today I'm uncovering 5 signs that you might still be dieting.

'Tis the season for holiday meals with loved ones! While it's the most wonderful time of the year, there are some common struggles that I see my clients facing around the holiday dinner table.

These struggles usually come down to one thing: food rules.

As we embrace the intuitive eating approach, we tend to begin to free ourselves from rigid food rules. However, sometimes not all of our family and friends are on board. They might try to impose their own food rules upon us and even make comments about how much we're eating or whether we reach for dessert.

That's why today, I'm chatting about how to navigate food rules. Listen in as I share a few tips that will help you stick up for your food choices and set boundaries when it comes to food and your health throughout the holiday season and beyond.

In this age of social media, how can we avoid the trap of comparison and envy? It can be SO hard to avoid as you scroll through Instagram and your inner mean girl starts to say things like, "Why can't I have her body?" or "Her outfits are always on point, and Mine are garbage in comparison!"

Well sister I'm here to tell you that I'm right here with you. There's nothing wrong with those thoughts and the emotions that accompany them. Heck, it's only natural to feel icky if you're spending way too much time viewing everyone's highlight reels on social media. That's why today I'm talking about how you can dissect those negative thoughts and emotions that might come up and stop them in their tracks before they even start.

Listen in as I chat about identifying your emotions and any possible triggers, preventing that comparison and shame cycle, and pulling yourself out of that jealous space if you happen to spiral and land there.
