If you told yourself you could have anything you want, would you just totally go-to-town on cake, cookies, pizza and all the bad foods? I can hear you say YES, 1000% I would lose control!

In this recipe, I use fats of nuts, oils, coconut cream and flakes that naturally clench taste buds and make for a highly satisfying and nourishing dessert.

By occasionally colouring outside the lines we can sustain long-term habits and behaviours. We’re missing the point when all we focus on is food groups, calorie counting, and proportion control.

I think nearly all of us have been on some sort of restrictive diet at some point. ⁣ ⁣ But even if we're not 'dieting' and just eating healthy we still talk the restrictive food talk "I had pasta for lunch, I shouldn't eat icecream for desert", "I was really bad today I had 🍪🍪 cookies." We're in our heads, focused on our "shoulds" that lead us further away from being able to connect with our bodies. ⁣ ⁣ What would your body say without the food rules?⁣ ⁣ Would you rebel and eat 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪cookies because the rules aren't there to keep you safe, keep you in control, keep you thin?⁣ ⁣ In my latest 🎥 blog I dive deeper into how we can let go of the safety net of diets and learn to eat more intuitively. It's titled 'What it's really like to give up dieting (for good!)'

Friday's every week I hang out with my girlfriends at @iggysbakery, eating croissants, drinking coffee and talking life and business, it brings so much joy!⁣ ⁣ But I use to think in these moments of pure satisfaction with food that I was "being bad" and I'd just have to prepare to "make up for it" with a big run over the weekend or just eat really "clean" for the rest of the day. ⁣ ⁣ I use to worry that if I didn't apply some kind of control over over my eating I'd just eat and eat and eat and eat. 🥐🥐🥐⁣ ⁣ And I've heard so many similar fears about trying to eat more intuitively. ⁣ ⁣ That you feel so much distrust in your body, especially if it's to do with your "bad" food because control keeps you safe and in line so you don't put on weight.⁣ ⁣ In my latest blog I chat with friend and Body Postive Personal Trainer @beyoubefreecoogee about the problematic side of food rules and “on & off the wagon” eating. ⁣ We're both so into talking about this topic because independently, we’ve come to do a 360 on our approach to food and body. ⁣ ⁣ Neither of us diet like we used to, we don’t even eat clean, eat paleo, or listen to any kind of ‘rules’ around food anymore. ⁣ ⁣ We both believe diets just don’t work and so often, lead to an unhealthy relationships to food and body. ⁣ ⁣ We talk about the upside of ditching the diet mentality so that you CAN feel the freedom to eat a croissant until satisfied, then pack half away for later. ⁣ ⁣ And it's not even about self control or willpower! ⁣ ⁣ It's actually about letting go of control and unlearning some of those believes and patterns that keep you stuck in a system that makes you believe you'll be good enough when you're thin. ⁣ ⁣ Head over to link in bio to listen 🎧 to conversation on why the next diet definitely won't work. ⁣ ⁣ #beyoubefree #intuitiveeating #bodykindness #lifebeyonddieting #dietcycle #relationshipwithfood #dietrebel #balancenotcleaneating #foodfreedom #ditchdiets #ditchdieting #nondietapproach #bodywisdom #bingeeating
The past few months have been non-stop excitement because it has been all about the wedding in between, Christmas/New Year, and overseas work/holiday travel (we've been very lucky to have so much flexibility and joyful things happening all at once).⁣ ⁣ Only a few days ago did I really feel like my life went back to normal, back to my usual routine. ⁣ ⁣ I definitely felt a bit of a post-wedding-holiday slump, after so much of the good stuff was all happening at once. ⁣ ⁣ Then it all just stopped. We've got nothing in the pipeline (I'm actually not upset about it, it just feels odd not to have THE NEXT BIG THING coming up). #travelbug⁣ ⁣ So now post-life-extravaganza, I've worked on a few things to get myself back on track, one of those things I share in my latest blog post about the lesson of getting “wedding ready” and dealing with the pressure to diet and change my body. ⁣ ⁣ Link is in my bio! ✨⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #weddings #wedshred #photophobia #lifebeyonddieting #dietculture ⁣ #weddingdresses #weddingphoto #bodyimage #bodypositive #weddinginspiration #bridal #weddingweekend #weddinginspo #weddingflow #weddingday #destinationwedding #selflove #bodylove #loveyourbody #bodyconfidence #weddingdetails #weddinghair #selfcare #gratitude #bodyacceptance #gettingmarried #weddingplanning #instawedding #ido
