Want a better relationship with food and your body?
Are you constantly feeling exhausted by how much your brain is thinking about what to eat OR what you ‘shouldn’t’ be eating and trying SOO hard to stop thinking about how you ‘can’t’ have it?? Do you find yourself checking your weight daily (or multiple times a day) and your mood or exercise is determined by the number going up or down. Are you constantly checking your body in the mirror and picking at the parts you hate. Do you find these thoughts taking up most of your brain space?
This is hard and you are not alone.
Courtney, is an eating disorder dietitian (and part-time baker) who is on a mission to make carbs great again. Courtney can support you to unlearn unhelpful-diet rules and regain brain space in your life again.
