02.01.2022 We commonly think that "restriction" is about not eating enough and yes, this is true, but it's not the whole story. Restriction is that part of us that says "you can't have more" or "that's too much" or "you're not allowed to...." which extends into every corner of our lives. We may not count calories, measure portion sizes or read food labels but restriction can also be experienced in not allowing ourselves pleasure and joy with food and eating. It can mean we elevate think...ing over feeling and being. It means that we constrict and squeeze ourselves in ways which drain the joy from simple experiences. Today, this week and every day, we all have full permission to eat. With joy, with gusto, with pleasure. Take what you need. Then more if you need. Even if you're not able to enact behaviours which truly meet your needs, reminding yourself that this is available to you might offer some space for compassion and care for a time in the future when it feels more accessible. #mindfuldietitian #compassion #HAES #notalwaysaboutthefood #mindfulness #permission

01.01.2022 Content marketer and Non Diet Dietitian Kirsten Maier @nourish.digital.content is my latest guest on The Mindful Dietitian podcast for a really great conversation about content creation, marketing and communication in alignment with Anti Diet messaging. This is arguably one of the tougher parts of our work, because we have to be strategic about two distinct but inter-related issues - the harms of diet culture AND what to do instead. Here Kirsten and I discuss: how can find... our target audience and engage and connect with them, understanding the beauty of imperfect content marketing, how testing and tracking our content engagement can help us do better, why we don’t have to be on all the platforms to be efficient and effective content marketers, how we can thoughtfully integrate social justice ideas into our content, the concept of values priming and how we can connect with others through intrinsic values. You will notice that a strong message threaded through our conversation is the idea of being consistent and intentional whilst also being thoughtful about where people are at along the stages of change.
