⭐️ To form intentions and goals for 2025, I am reflecting on those skills and attitudes which have been most instrumental in helping me achieve the things I am most proud of or brought me the most fulfilment, security or peace.

Instead of doing ‘more’ ‘new’ things, I’m reflecting largely on that which has already proven to be helpful. I believe that making the intention to notice, nurture and build those things is the highest guarantee of getting more of what I value in my life. My intention with sharing this is to offer a different perspective which might inspire you too - Rach x

P.S Merry Christmas! ❤️⭐️

Do you consider yourself an 'emotional eater'?

If so, that can be distressing and feel disempowering at times. It's understandable if someone wants to just 'stop.' 

However, that in itself can be invalidating to the steps and the journey involved in moving past emotional eating.

Considering that it's a daily occurrence that I witness someone move past urges to emotionally eat, I wanted to share 4 of the things that our clients do BEFORE being ready to address emotional eating directly. In the hopes that it might be helpful and reassuring 🤗

1) High hunger from restriction and emotional eating can feel like the same thing, so they learn how to honor hunger and feel safe doing so.

2) Understanding when they're physically hungry so they can recognize when they're hungry for something else.

3) They come to terms with the fact that addressing emotional eating does not mean 'stop yourself from emotional eating' (are we aiming to reduce the urges or use willpower for the rest of our lives?).

4)They build emotional resilience and assertiveness and the ability to validate their own needs.

Note: The above are big and somewhat complex topics in themselves, with nuances and deeper understanding often needed. I invite you to not take these at face value, as that may feel invalidating or trivializing.

We understand that shifting your relationship with food from the ground up can seem like a daunting if not slightly impossible task. It might not be the right time or we may not be the right fit for you, but if you do want to talk to us about it, you can ❤️ shethrives.co.uk/your-journey

Hearing -> knowing -> understanding -> practicing -> being.

I recently read the book 'The 5 Love Languages.' 

Until then, I thought, "I know what the 5 love languages are; I don't need to read the book."

Then I read it and realized what a big mistake I had made. The nuances of the love languages matter. Hearing real-life experiences matter. A holistic understanding matters. I thought I understood the love languages, but after reading this book, I had so many breakthroughs that I felt inspired to take action, and my relationships became more fulfilling almost overnight.

What does this have to do with hunger or food?

Well, you often hear bits of advice about your relationship with food. Things like "follow your appetite cues," "eat everything in moderation," or "if you think you're hungry, you might just be thirsty."

These simplified statements can be helpful starting points, but they can also be limiting if taken at face value.

With any of these bits of advice, the nuances matter. Hearing real-life experiences matter. A holistic understanding matters. By oversimplifying the advice, we actually make it confusing, and many people walk around thinking they understand when they don't.

I spent 4 hours reading the love languages book, 4 hours journaling about it, and practicing daily since then. That’s what improved my relationships—not just hearing about the concepts.

Our clients with disordered eating spend 1 hour of active learning, 8 hours of listening, 3 hours of journaling, and 2 weeks of daily practice 'just' to get in touch with appetite cues and distinguish between physical and emotional hunger.

Why? Because that’s what it takes for real, deep change to happen.

Without the holistic understanding and the practice and the skill building, surely we have no other option than to rely on willpower and turn "Eat when you're hungry and stop when you're full" into some strange new dieting rule?

Gaining a healthy relationship with food that comes naturally to you will take effort and there will be ups and downs, but any step you take towards understanding is valuable. If you think you might want to give it a go, then we're here ❤️

❤️ What does having 'really good body image' mean to you?

I receive so many different answers to this question. That's interesting because if one of our clients has the goal of a 'normal' and healthy relationship with food, then they also have the goal of 'really good body image' because they go hand in hand! Below are the four most common answers I get, plus how I define good body image.

Struggling with never feeling good enough?

Here is something a client of ours said to me during a progress review today:

"I have always hated my body for not looking the way I want it to look. I feel so ashamed, and the thought of other people seeing me consumes me with anxiety. But it's not just that. I worry about 'little' things, like whether I made dinner for friends well enough! I never realised until this moment that I have this intense need to be seen as perfect. If I'm anything less than perfect, I don't feel good enough."

"Good enough for what?" I asked.

"To belong," she said. "Growing up, I had to hide the messiness of our home life from the outside world. I thought we were abnormal in our struggles. Ever since then, I've believed I'm not good enough. I blamed that for not having the sense of belonging and connection I need. I thought if I tried harder, that would change. But I have made a terrible mistake. I don't have a sense of connection because I haven't allowed myself to recognise and nurture what people really value about me. I also haven't allowed myself to be vulnerable. My perfectionism arose to help me gather a sense of belonging, but my perfectionism is the very thing that has alienated me."

Do you want this video?? Someone has asked for real life stories from women who have moved from disordered eating/binge eating to a healthy relationship with food. BUT, they specifically asked for these stories to NOT be sugar coated. They want to see all the ups and down and all the rawness, realness and messiness of this process. Do you want this video? If you vote 'yes' please make sure to write anything you want included in the video in the comments so I know.
