Why Eating Together is so Important #NutritionMonth This topic is so close to my heart. I grew up in a family who ALWAYS ate dinner together. So when I moved out on my own, it left a huge hole in my soul. My natural sense of hospitality kicked in, and I started...

I've been sharing some of our meals in the IG stories, and want to see how y'all are doing with your meals and eating. Are you struggling with keeping up your "normal" meal times?

Let me be honest... I needed this. . . I needed a Let me be honest... I needed this. . . I needed a break. I was wishing for a break where no one expects anything from me and I'm not missing out on anything. . . It's true. I never thought or wished for it to be under these circumstances, though, and I'm certainly not making light of the severity of this #COVID19 pandemic. . . This is not a time where we need to bring a new layer of shaming for not using this "opportunity" to "be more productive". . . I do believe we need to find ways to honor our mental health, in these tough times. Taking the extra time to rest, sleep, journal, or do your fave self care activities is valid and also considered "productive". When you are in a better place mentally, you'll be able to get to those projects that have been on the back burner. . . Please take care of yourself, stay at home if you can, and WASH YOUR HANDS. I swear this is gonna make us all germaphobes...but I guess we need this. . . . . . #staysafe #stayathome #covid_19 #coronavirus #covid19canada #foodsafety #precautions #healthcare #flattenthecurve #dietitianlife #vancouverfoodie #dietitiansofinstagram #powerthrough #nutrifoodie #foodforthought #ditchthediet #antidiet #intuitiveeating #breakingthestereotype #healthateverysize #haes #bodypositivity #positivemindset #dietitians #dietitianapproved #futuredietitian #verifyhealthcare
Stay safe people! This is a pandemic - meaning it Stay safe people! This is a pandemic - meaning it is affecting us globally at a rapid pace. Socially isolating doesn't mean social destruction.

Have you thought of a great idea and said "but I'm Have you thought of a great idea and said "but I'm not good enough... someone else should do it" . . I find that it's so easy for us to become more skeptical of ourselves as we grow older. I never used to question taking risks as a student as much as I do now, even with more capital and experience. . . Amy and I were talking over lunch one day saying how we wish we felt more connected as dietitians in our community. It's a relatively small community, so it shouldn't be this hard to connect. So we took it upon ourselves to start something that informed people looking for dietitians in BC AND that supported dietitians in BC to be connected and united. That's where @bcdietitians was born. . . If you're looking for a dietitian, check out the directory to search by location, type of service (office, online, or mobile), and areas of focus (like heart disease, diabetes, cancer, etc...) . . If you're a dietitian, you can create a profile for free at BCdietitians.ca . . Change is scary. Taking a leap into something new requires a lot of faith. Seeing progress through to fruition requires a lot of work and dedication, even if it's a slower hike. It's worth it! . . . . . . #nutrifoodie #whatadietitianeats #ft2grams #foodie #huffposttaste #food4thought #dietitian #nutrition #rd #rd2be #dietitiantalks #dietitianlife #rdeats #vancity #vancouverblogger #foodstagram #vancouverfoodie #verifyhealthcare #healthprofessional #dietitiansofinstagram #dietitiansofcanada #antidiet #bodypositivity

What do you want to be remembered by? . . I want t What do you want to be remembered by? . . I want to be remembered for my smile, kindness and generosity... for sharing my love by cooking for others and spending quality time... for finding humor and laughing... for my random dance breaks... for my rigor, drive, passion, and perseverance as a dietitian, wife, daughter, sister, friend, niece, cousin, and hopefully one day as a mom. . . I know none of that will be superseded by "what size jeans fit", or for "avoiding foods I love to shrink my body".... and definitely not for "always being on a diet" or "always trying to fit a mold". Diet culture got nothing on me and its not deserving of taking away the rest of my life. . . So... what do you want to be remembered by? Now go and make that dominant in your life! . . .

Trigger warning: This post discusses disordered eating/eating disorders . . Weight stigma is so entrenched in our society that kids are on a path to disordered eating/eating disorders out of fear to gain weight, be "unhealthy", or be discriminated against to name a few. . . These societal pressures to look a certain way, shape or size are harmful and cause serious physical and mental health consequences. . . Actions you can take in your home environment to prevent the development of disordered eating or eating disorders in your family include: . . 💜Stop giving weight-related comments (criticism or compliments) 💜Accept natural changes and fluctuations in body size and shape 💜Teach media literacy skills to understand that images can be retouched and they set unrealistic physical appearance standards 💜Refresh your social media feed from accounts that promote negative behaviours such as fad diets and excessive exercise 💜Identify and address body weight and image concerns as early as possible 💜Lead by example: promote healthy eating habits and an active lifestyle that is independent on weight . .  Do you want to get personalized feedback and resources to improve your own relationship with food and your body, in order to have a more positive impact in your own life and those around you?

Can you eat whatever you want if you follow the He Can you eat whatever you want if you follow the Health at Every Size ® principles? 🧐 . . Health At Every Size ® (HAES) is an inclusive movement that puts an emphasis on self-acceptance and healthy day-to-day behaviours, not weight loss. . . The first thing I hear from people is ... "so does that mean you can eat whatever you want” since weight doesn’t matter... "In that case, I'd be eating fried chicken all day, everyday", but this isn’t *necessarily* the case. The goal is to shift one’s behaviours from being weight-centric to being more focused on actually taking care of yourself. . . . This approach may or may not result in weight changes, however, that needs to be independent from actual healthful behaviors and habits. Your weight will fluctuate in life, and that’s absolutely normal . . . Health promoting behaviours and habits under this approach include eating a healthful, unrestricted diet, eating intuitively, physical activity, getting adequate sleep, and managing stress. . . Every body deserves respect and the opportunity to pursue health if you choose to. I’m here to support people of all sizes in establishing healthy habits and self-acceptance with a focus on celebrating body diversity. . . . 🗣🗣🗣ONE SPOT LEFT🗣🗣🗣 If you want to have a peaceful relationship with your body that allows you to embrace it and respect it in all its shapes & sizes, apply to join my Food Freedom, Body Peace Program . I will guide you through finding peace and freedom with your food and body with my experience and expertise as a weight-inclusive registered dietitian.
