Ah, so this has been an OPEN UP topic that I’ve been putting off for a while! I’m well aware that people have so many different opinions on moving in together, and I’ve been a bit hesitant to post because I’m pretty frightened that I’ll HEAR all of those different opinions (yikes). Before I begin, let’s lay the foundation for respect (please) within this post. I’m not claiming that my way is RIGHT, and I’m not claiming that anyone else’s way is WRONG. Instead, we’re having open, normal conversation about what ACTUALY happened when I moved in with Marco, and how we actually felt – simply the reality of it all. I want you girls to have …

‘WHY Intuitive Eating?’ SERIES (4/4)
WHY Intuitive Eating (reason 4 of 4) We’ve now reached the last day of the “WHY Intuitive Eating?” series. I’m excited to dive into the last topic in this series with you. Intuitive eating allows you to reach your natural weight. Today, I AM at my natural weight (I’ve been eating intuitively since 2011). It’s easy to maintain. I don’t have to worry about eating a burger and my pant size increasing overnight. I feel calm around food. You see, for me, intuitive eating meant gaining weight. It meant going from an all-too-low weight for my height to a mid-range weight that left me feeling “normal & healthy.” Not stick skinny. For a while, this was hard to accept. But only because I…

OPEN UP: To Talk About Your Food Habits? Or Not?
“How do you share your eating ideas/plans with friends without sounding pretentious? Maybe it’s just me because I’m self-conscious, but with the friends that I’m not super close with, I feel very awkward talking about my new eating habits/ideas. It feels preachy and pretentious to talk about intuitive eating, or eating less meat, even though I know it’s what’s right for me and feels good! But at the same time I want to share these amazing things with people.” A reader sent this in as soon as I started this OPEN UP series. I’m so excited to dive into this conversation with all of you today, and hope you find it encouraging and relatable. It can …

Is Your Motivation Lacking? Have You Considered This?
A week or so ago, I hopped on the phone with Ashley, who you’ll be hearing from today. As we were talking, we got into our stories and many of the common struggles we women share: dieting, guilt around food, and body image. We got on the topic of motivation and willpower, and as we talked through this, I asked Ashley if she’d share her story on the blog, along with what she’s learned about “motivation” and “will power.” The purpose of her post today is to show you that you’re not alone: we all struggle on some level with feeling like our own motivations are not enough, or that we’re lacking in will power or control, and that …
