Find Food Freedom Through God's Grace
Eva Amurri Martino is the real deal! I know this because I have been friends with her since before she could drive. Super fun, totally adorable, witty as all sin, she is just a real girl’s girl. Stylistically, she reigns supreme. Even before she began her lifestyle blog, Happily Eva After, Eva made an impact […]
Eating is emotional. I don’t care what anyone says. How can something that raises our dopamine levels, provides us energy and the feeling of comfort and safety not be an emotional thing? Putting a stigma on emotional eating as a bad thing just causes more negativity around it. Binges, rebellious eating and restriction are spawned […]
I think we all have a love hate relationship with social media. It does a great job at showcasing the better side of our selves and our lives. It is disturbingly painful when it comes to making us actually feel better about ourselves. Social media can make you feel like the world’s biggest loser in […]

We all have moments of stuffing ourselves past capacity, but what happens when it seems like it’s on the regular? Getting in tune with your hunger and fullness signals is […]
The biggest thing that I have learned from having such a complicated relationship to food and my body is that habits hold far more power over us than we give them credit for. It is hard to separate the guilt and shame from the act of negative behaviors. It is frustrating to want so […]
Binges. Over eating. Pigging out. Whatever you call it, they happen. Sometimes when we are in full view of everyone, like a holiday party. Sometimes when we are hidden in a dark closet alone, crying as we shove spoonfuls of tubbed frosting into our mouth. (Yup, I’ve actually done that.) If I am totally honest, […]
I have been skinny and I have been fat and at both ends of the spectrum I have found one thing to remain the same: My obsession with food. Weight loss does nothing to heal wounds. It is the relationship that you have with yourself that does that. When you put losing pounds ahead of […]
