Double tap if you’ve ever thought changing the way you look would finally make you confident 🙋🏻‍♀️⠀ ⠀ Appearance driven confidence is fleeting and only surface deep. True confidence is about accepting your internal self fully. Switch from external to internal.⠀ ⠀ Healing your relationship with food includes healing your relationship with your body.

Your body is not broken.⠀ 🍬⠀ If you don’t provide your body with enough food, your body slows down trying to complete the same amount of tasks with less energy. On top of that, anytime you under-eat you are more likely to overeat as a result.⠀ 🍬⠀ Nourishing your body completely is the first step to #foodfreedom . Not sure where to start? Check out my new ebook, #thefoodfreedomguide for a step-by-step guide to freeing yourself from guilt with food.

Shout out to the person who commented on one of my last post saying a hot dog was a simple pleasure because I totally agree with you. I took one bite of this and thought of that comment. This was yesterday’s lunch while out on the golf course. ⠀ 🌭⠀ This hot dog has an intuitive eating lesson in it so bare with me. Ive had two people in session recently say, “I wasn’t hungry because I was outside and it was really hot,” which if you think about it has NOTHING to do with actual hunger. Being hot doesn’t actual mean your less hungry, but it may cause you to feel less hungry. We have to be able to know when we truly are not hungry versus just not feeling our hunger.⠀ 🌭⠀ We were coming up on the 9th hole, which is usually next to the club house. We ran in to grab drinks. My husband mentioned how he hadn’t had lunch so he was going to get a hotdog. I wasn’t really hungry, but thought, “it’s been 4 hours since I’ve eaten and it’s going to be at least 2 until I can eat again.” I decided to go ahead and get a hot dog. I ate the whole thing and all the fries. I obviously was very hungry. Both my husband and I said how much better we felt after eating. We thought we were tired and felt bad because we were playing golf in 95 degrees, which we were, but part of it was hunger. I actually was contemplating only playing 9 holes, but after eating I went on to play the whole 18. ⠀ 🌭⠀ There are a million factors that influence our hunger. Relying only on signals we feel in our stomach will leave you under nourished. We need to understand why we may not feel our hunger and that doesn’t always mean we don’t need food.⠀ 🌭⠀ Are you ready to start listening and honoring your hunger and fullness? I walk you through this process in my new ebook #thefiodfreedomguide Click the link in my bio to learn more or purchase a copy.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ [image: a basket of French fries and a woman’s hand holding a hotdog with ketchup and mustard]⠀ #dallasnutritionalcounseling #dallasrd #nondiet #riotsnotdiets #unlearndietculture #intuitiveeating #nondietapproach #nondietdietitian #nondietwarrior #effdietculture #caseybonanord #foodfreedom #losehatenotweight #allfoodfits #intuitiveeatingofficial
Double tap if you feel like there is never enough time in the day 🙋🏻‍♀️ I totally feel you. When it comes to eating, this one really irks me and here is why....⠀⠀ ⏱⠀⠀ 1. You are the creator of time. When you stop viewing time in scarcity mode, running from one task to the next, you actually end up being more productive with your time.⠀⠀ ⏱⠀⠀ 2. The reason you are alive right now, doing all the things in your schedule, is because of food. Without it, your busy schedule wouldn’t exist.⠀⠀ ⏱⠀⠀ 3. This is a priority issue. You will find a million things to fill your time instead of eating if you don’t prioritize eating. ⠀⠀ ⏱⠀⠀ 4. This is a boundaries issue. Do you allow people to interrupt your lunch break? Do you even schedule yourself a lunch break? Do you over commit yourself, leaving little time to nourish yourself? ⠀⠀ ⏱⠀⠀ There is no doubt that time and our schedules can be obstacles to eating, but neither are valid reasons to skip eating. Plan ahead, block off meal or snack times, pack your food for easier access, and set boundaries around your eating times. Nourishing your body is much more important than completing that task that could wait 10 minutes. Interested in taking back your life from your obsession with food?

A while back, when out to eat with some friends, one friend brought up the idea of simple pleasures specifically related to food. ⠀ ⠀ Toast with butter, pasta, bacon...all foods that are quite basic, not really fancy, but delicious and pleasurable. ⠀ ⠀ The truth is trying new foods is a hobbie of mine and trying weird food is a favorite past time. Pig ears, jellyfish, beef tongue...not to say we always like what we try, but being adventurous with food is so fun to me. Don’t worry I know not everyone feels this way about trying new food. My dad liked trying weird food and I’m proud to say I’m my father’s daughter and my mother is probably cringing at the thought of eating beef tongue as she reads this. *hi mom*⠀ ⠀ Regardless I always come back to the simple pleasures. There’s nothing like a good piece of sourdough with salted butter or fresh pasta in a simple tomato sauce. Comment below with your simple pleasure? What is an easy, basic food that brings you pleasure?⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ [image: a white plate with scrambled eggs, toasts with butter, turkey bacon, and green grapes]⠀ #dallasrd #thefoodfreedomguide #dallasnutritionalcounseling #caseybonanord #nutrition #effdietculture #allfoodsfit #intuitiveeating #HAES #healthylifestyle #healthyfood #balance #balancednotclean #balancedeating #edwarrior #edrecovery #instafood #nourish #nourishedlife #dallasdietitian #dfwblogger #foodblog #foodblogger #breakfastlover #breakfastideas #breakfast #morningtime #simplepleasures
Head over to eatingdisorderjobs.com (link in bio) to read all about my career journey. My journey starts with thinking I totally knew what I wanted to do with my life and that wasn’t nutrition...to hating almost every single rotation in my internship....and ending with getting to do something I love everyday. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows, but it has a good ending. I also give some advice for those wanting to get into the field and how to gain experience without actually finding a job in the field.⠀ ⠀ Repost - @eatingdisorderjobs ⠀ ⠀ This week on #WednesdayWisdom, EatingDisorderJobs.com is featuring Casey Bonano!

Double tap if you feeling 🤯 after this truth bomb by @lindatuckercoaching ⠀ Repost - @lindatuckercoaching⠀ ⠀ Hope this helps clarify what this “whole intuitive eating thing” is all about. At its core it all about challenging diet culture, food fear, and body shame... while getting clear on YOUR needs, desires, and reality around food and eating. Its about NOT dieting and relearning to trust yourself. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨⠀ #intuitiveeating #nondiet #dietculture #dietculturedropout #dietsdontwork #edrecovery #weightneutral #womeneatingfood #eating #eat #allfoodsfit #noshame #norules #effyourbodystandards #riotsnotdiets #stopfightingfood #intuitiveeatingofficial #intuitiveeatingcoach #thefoodfreedomguide #dallasnutritionalcounseling #caseybonanord⠀
Life: trying to take a cute picture by a wall of snow and then realizing it says d*ck next to your head. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Oh, and probably f*ck.⠀ ⠀ Me trying to be positive: maybe it says duck. 🤦🏻‍♀️⠀ ⠀ If life’s got you down, remember you have survived 100% of what has happened. This phase is temporary. Tag a friend who needs the reminder. 🙋🏻‍♀️⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ [image: casey standing in front of a wall of snow on the side of a mountain.]⠀ #eatingdisorderrecovery #eatingdisorderawareness #edwarrior #edrecovery #recovery #recoveryispossible #recoverywin #bulimiarecovery #anorexiarecovery #bingeeatingrecovery #losehatenotweight #haes #healthateverysize #eatingdisordertreatment #caseybonanord #dallasnutritionalcounseling #eatingdisorderdietitian #thefoodfreedomguide #dallasrd #nondietapproach #nondietdietitian #intuitiveeating #motivation #motivationalquote
Thank you to @eatingdisorderjobs for featuring my advice to those new in the field. There’s A LOT to learn in this field. Never underestimate it. Repost - @eatingdisorderjobs⠀ ⠀ #MondayMotivation — “If you are new to the field, learn as much as you can and never assume you know enough about the treatment of eating disorders.” Great words from this week’s professional: Casey Bonano, RD, LD, CEDRD! ⠀ #eatingdisorder #eatingdisorders #eatingdisorderrecovery #intuitiveeating #registereddietitian #dietitian #psychologist #psychology #psychiatrist #therapy #professional #job #jobsearch #jobsearching #eatingdisorderjobs #edwarrior #eatingdisorderdietitian
You can eat white bread. You can eat simple carbs. 🍞 The argument between simple and complex carbohydrates is based on absorption rate. Complex carbs absorb into the blood stream slightly slower than simple carbs. AND this argument is only valid if that food is eating by itself with nothing else in your system. ⠀ 🥯 Normal eating practices make this argument no longer valid. Think about it...when are you ever eating a bowl of pasta with nothing on it? Rarely. Usually you have sauce that has some kind of fat and a meat or cheese that has protein. The dietary fat and protein make that simple carbohydrate absorb slower causing it act more like a complex carbohydrate. ⠀ 🥐 There are of course slight differences in the nutrient profile of simple and complex carbohydrates, but they can both provide the body with things that it needs. We need to include both categories of carbohydrates. Use your preferences to guide you. For example: I will NOT eat whole wheat pasta. I think whole wheat pasta is awful, I am going to eat the regular pasta. I do enjoy quinoa, but I also eat white rice. Sourdough is my favorite bread, but I also like some brands of whole wheat bread. Eat both! ⠀ 🥖 In my new ebook, #thefoodfreedomguide , I break down all the common nutrition recommendations and nutrition myths. I teach you where these messages came from and whether to listen to them.

Double tap if you’ve said it 🙋🏻‍♀️ Don’t be shy, we’re all diet culture drop outs.⠀ 🌼⠀ When we place foods in good and bad categories, no matter the reason why, no matter how good our intentions, we eventually eat something on the bad list. We feel guilt and shame about what we did, which then makes us feel guilt and shame about who we are, which then drives us to eat again. ⠀ 🌼⠀ We may make promises to stick to the good list; we may throw out certain foods and vow to never buy them again; but inevitably we come into contact with them – at a friend’s house, a birthday party, or a girl’s night at your favorite restaurant. And let’s be honest, most food is on somebody’s bad list. Therefore, we get stuck in the viscous diet cycle struggling to find an exit route.⠀ 🌼⠀ Like what you’re reading? This is a direct passage from my new book #thefiodfreedomguide check it out by clicking the link in my bio⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ [image: a colorful background with a woman’s hand holding a popsicle with an orange circle with white font stating stop calling food junk]⠀ #antidiet #antidietproject #antidietculture #antidietdietclub #nomoredieting #dallasnutritionalcounseling #caseybonanord #healthateverysize #haes #intuitiveeating #foodfreedom #nourishnotpunish #allbodiesaregoodbodies #bodyacceptance #dietculture #dietculturesucks #losehatenotweight #effdietculture #effyourbeautystandards #effyourbodystandards #mindfuleating #intuitiveeatingjourney
Build your own lox on sourdough - fixings include red onion, cherry tomatoes, capers, mixed greens with olive oil, red wine vinegar, cracked pepper and sea salt.⠀ 🍅⠀ We actually ate this the other night for dinner. The husband was skeptical, claiming this was a breakfast food. **Insert long rant about our perception of what foods belong at what meals is completely cultural and doesn’t actually matter...it’s fun being married to me.** He obviously does not share @kristenhenk and my unrelenting breakfast for dinner passion. ⠀ 🍞⠀ In the end, he saw the light. This is the perfect summer dinner. It’s cold, fresh, and requires no heat besides the toaster. I don’t know about you, but standing next to the oven in the middle of summer is not my idea of a good time. Also no pots or pans to clean.⠀ 🥗⠀ Comment below with your favorite summer dish.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ [image: toast with cream cheese and lox on a white plate, with white bowls with assorted toppings]⠀ #dallasrd #dietitian #dallasnutritionalcounseling #caseybonanord #nutrition #effdietculture #allfoodsfit #intuitiveeating #HAES #healthylifestyle #healthyfood #balance #balancednotclean #balancedeating #edwarrior #edrecovery #instafood #nourish #nourishedlife #dallasdietitian #dfwblogger #foodblog #foodblogger #breakfastlover #breakfastideas #breakfast #morningtime #thefoodfreedomguide #summerrecipe #summertime
