  • Whatever you’re working on, wherever you’re struggling, however you’re processing pain, I just want you to know: IT’S ALWAYS WORTH IT! .. .. Sometimes the toughest experiences in my life have brought the most bountiful blessings and joy! ▪️Overcoming my ED ▪️Overcoming PPD ▪️Ending my obsession with food ▪️Smashing my scale ▪️Detaching my self-worth from my appearance ▪️Healing my marriage ▪️Processing my trauma .. .. All 100% worth it!!! And also all really REALLY hard things that I absolutely could not conquer without the strength of the Holy Spirit and the powerfully encouraging words of my Lord Jesus Christ. .. .. Emotional pain is messy, sticky, and ugly. And yet, the light always comes. As I continue to grieve the loss of one of my twins last month (and continue in a complicated pregnancy- further grieving the “easy pregnancy” I had), I continue to remind myself of this too. .. .. It’s worth it. I’m worth it. God promises me that. His hands holds me up when I’m weak (which btw is about every second of every day right now). His spirit guides me. I’ll make it to the light soon. And so will you! 💗Share with someone who needs this encouragement today.

  • There’s about 1,752,993 things I’d rather see my children do than logon to an app like @kurbohealth - Kids need to be kids. - They need to play. .. .. - We need to allow our kids to experiment with food. And say no and yes to different foods based on their own preferences, not some arbitrary (not even nutritionally sound) red-yellow-green light system that some big business (clearly not a trained dietitian) created for profitable gain, NOT to serve our children. .. .. What would you rather see your kids doing than spending time on a useless, harmful app like @ww @kurbohealth ? 👇🏻 #WakeUpWeightWatchers

  • In case you need this reminder like I do 😉 .. .. Can I also say that if your kids are anything like mine, it takes a LONG time and MULTIPLE takes to get even ONE remotely decent pics with both kids looking at the camera? That’s just with TWO kids. Who knows what I’ll do with THREE? 🤪 .. .. On a serious note though, since becoming a mom, I struggle with the “compare/ despair” more in one area than any other area... and that is in the cutesy photography and secondarily, with beautifully decorated homes. .. .. I can run a business like a boss, treat patients, love on my husband, play with my kids, write encouraging notes and letters, do hair like nobody’s business and cook a mean dinner for my family BUT... figuring out my DSLR camera (or even just my iPhone camera) or making my home look Pinterest-perfect are NOT my gifts. .. .. For YEARS, I struggled with this. I spent money trying to learn how to use my camera. I bought design courses and secretly dreamed of having that flawless house that every visitor talks about. .. .. Then... I made peace with food... and that same peace spread to every other category of my life. With that peace, I accepted my limitations. I’m not perfect and I’m not amazing at everything. And I don’t NEED to be! .. .. So my friends, I don’t have a phone or camera full of beautiful pics of my home or kids. And I don’t have a home out of a Pottery Barn catalog. Those are not my gifts and I’ve let it go. >>What do you need to let go? What have you wasted time and energy on that could devote to something better? .. .. It feels GOOD to let go! And to my mom friends who ARE flawless picture takers (@milknhoneynutrition 😁) or who can decorate any space beautifully (@juliekimockinteriors 😁), I love y’all and you ROCK! 👊🏻 .. .. Finding your strengths and knowing your weaknesses are necessary to fight the mommy wars... and to learn what REAL grace and peace are about. 💗

  • What would you add?👇🏻 Who wants to take the pledge? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Sign below and tag a #momfriend .. .. Y’all, to say I’m completely sad and utterly disgusted with @ww new @kurbohealth app is an understatement. Each year, they’re targeting a younger and younger demographic. Swipe ⬅️ to see the future demographic: my 6 yo daughter. .. .. My daughter is 6. Sadly, this is an age that some begin to form disordered eating and body dysmorphia, and bc of the nature of EDs and the body shaming culture we live in, these behaviors and thought patterns can lead to a LIFELONG struggle with the slavery to thinness and immensely worsened health and psychological outcomes. .. .. FTR- this is not my Inner Mama Bear over-exaggerating. These are facts. (I invite you to learn the facts yourself if this is info that may seem unrealistic to you.) It’s estimated that half of 6 year olds already have fears of becoming fat and already hate their bodies. This insidious mentality is exacerbated by weight loss companies who now are preying on younger and younger individuals. Why? Because they’re losing their adult customers. Now they have to attack children. .. .. My 6 yo knows how to work an iPhone, download apps, play games, watch videos, and take photos. Weight watchers knows this!!! That’s why they’re using an app to target this young population. Just because she knows how to use this device does NOT mean she has capacity to form her own boundaries. (Heck, many of us adults haven’t mastered that yet!) .. .. It’s our responsibility as mothers to protect our children, guard their hearts and minds and orient them to a positive, safe space... which is far FAR AWAY from diet culture. .. .. We must stand united against “Big Diet” industries, but we also must stand united within our own homes. So please, who’s with me? Share with a mom you love 💗 ..
