Comment or DM me ‘ice cream’ for a 6 min mini trai Comment or DM me ‘ice cream’ for a 6 min mini training to end picky eating and sweet obsession.That first kid looks like a good eater. They eat what they’re told. The follow the rules of eating dinner before having dessert.But every time they eat a meal just to earn dessert, they’re slowly deteriorating their own body trust.Their connection to (and trust of) their own likes and dislikes.Their ability to stop eating when full.And they are more likely to become the adult who overeats.Who can’t seem to pass on dessert even when they’re full. Who rewards themselves with sweets.And who relies on external cues (diets, other people) to tell them what and how much to eat.Or they could become the adult who rebels against eating healthy foods once they’re no longer under their parent’s control.The second kid? That picky eater you’re so frustrated by? The one you think is obsessed with sweets because they always want dessert?They trust themselves. They are honoring their body’s cues — whether it’s hunger or fullness or their taste buds.And preserving that is everything for their future relationship to food.Forcing them to eat a meal to earn dessert takes that away and teaches them sweets are more exciting.That doesn’t mean we let them eat whatever they want whenever they want. Or just eat dessert all the time.With both kids, we want to create a no-pressure environment to help them preserve self-trust and learn to like a variety of foods that nourish their bodies.Yes you can have both. I recorded a 6-minute mini training that walks you through exactly how to do this.Comment or DM me ‘ice cream’ and I’ll send it over.
If you’ve always relied on external cues to tell y If you’ve always relied on external cues to tell you when and how much to eat like:→ what you serve yourself (or what someone else serves you — like at restaurants)
→ serving sizes on packages
→ calorie counting apps
→ diets or meal plansIt’s not surprising eating when you’re hungry and stopping when you’re full feels hard, if not impossible.Before you can trust yourself to do so, you have to:→ get reconnected to early hunger cues (not just grumbling in your stomach)
→ unlearn diet rules that keep you second guessing whether you’re actually hungry or bored…or how much you need to feel full and satisfied.Yes, even if you’ve never dieted (the client I share about in this video has never formally dieted a day in her life).Once you address both, trusting yourself to decide when and how much to eat becomes easy.And so much of the food noise goes away.Not sure where to start? Follow @busy.mom.nutrition for more tips.And stay tuned for a brand new free resource to quiet your food noise coming soon!!
I know your first instinct might be to try to fix I know your first instinct might be to try to fix it.You might start to notice that they’re eating more than their siblings or friends. Or that they eat a lot of sweets and carbs.(Maybe you always thought this, but now you’re hyper aware of just how much they seem to eat)And you start to think — how can I help them eat less of that and more healthy stuff?Do they need to move more?And if you were teased for your weight as a kid (or were told by a doctor, relative, or friend that you needed to be smaller)…This probably feels even more triggering. You don’t want your kid to experience the body shame you did.❤️Here’s the important piece to know: your job as a parent is not to fix your child’s body. ❤️Deep breaths.That sends the message that the person teasing them is right and their body is a problem.And that’s not true!As a parent, the best thing you can do is listen and empathize. Let them know they’re not alone. That you understand how bad this feels (and if you have a story from your own life to share, you can).Because the worst part about being teased for weight isn’t just the teasing. It’s the aloneness they feel.If it feels right, you can help them start to question the belief that fat is a bad thing and get curious about why a kid might say this (it’s not a reflection of their body).And over time, (not in the moment they come crying to you about it), help them build body confidence in the body they are in.But trying to make them smaller? That just feeds the belief that their body is wrong and sets them up for a lifetime of body dissatisfaction.Plus it increases the likelihood of weight cycling, which we know can negatively impact both physical and mental health.———
PS if you’re worried about what your child eats, there’s lots we can do to support them in learning to eat more variety, more balanced, and honor their body cues. But this is separate from weight and should never be used as a tool to make the feel better about themselves.
Ever wonder why you eat “healthy” but then can’t c Ever wonder why you eat “healthy” but then can’t control yourself around sweets and snacks?This could be why.Instead of putting a Band-Aid on these things by cutting out foods, tracking every bite, or controlling harder through dieting, I help my clients fix them by addressing the real reasons you crave sweets and feel out of control around certain food.That’s how you take the power away from food and trust yourself no matter what foods find their way into your home or office (or life).#intuitiveeatingdietitian #emotionaleatingcoach #sugarcravings #foodfreedomforever #foodfreedomjourney
You’re just a few weeks away from your kids trying You’re just a few weeks away from your kids trying new foods.From them no longer asking for sweets all day or the minute you sit down to dinner.And you could be just weeks away from making one meal for the whole family.If you’re local to Medfield. MA, join me next Thursday, April 9 for a live workshop at @around_the_plate at 7pm.I’m going to share in detail the exact steps this family took that helped them go from short order cooks to cooking one meal for the whole family.While also taming their kids, sweet obsession.Link in bio to register or DM me for details.Not local? Follow along @busy.mom.nutrition  for more tips.
I know it feels like it’s your job to convince you I know it feels like it’s your job to convince your kid — or make them — to try new foods (or old foods they used to like).But actually, that’s not your job at all. Your job as a parent is to offer it and create an environment where they feel safe and ready to try new things.Oftentimes parents miss 3 key things that make all the difference — even if you’re trying to play it cool.I recorded a 5- minute video where I walk you through the 3 things most parents miss — but are essential to helping your kid be ready to try new foods.Comment or DM me ‘ice cream’ and I’ll send it over to you.#raisingintuitiveeaters #feedingkids #healthykidfood #pickyeaters #pickyeating
