Struggling to reach your goal weight? Hear me out,

Struggling to reach your goal weight? Hear me out, but...what if having a goal weight is part of the problem?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Goal weights are usually pretty arbitrary and sometimes unrealistic (like a weight you haven't weighed since, or even during, high school).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ideal weights aren't actually a specific number, but a weight range where you:
+feel your best physically
+can do the physical activities you want
+have the lifestyle you crave
+have the freedom to eat your favorite foods
+don't feel deprived
+feel no restriction - physically or mentally
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So how do you get there?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Instead of focusing on a random number, my clients and I focus on habits and behaviors that promote physical and mental health now AND can promote your ideal weight - like moving your body in a way that feels good to you, adding more nutrient-dense foods to meals, learning to identify hunger and fullness cues, and SO. MUCH. MORE!!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I help my clients stay the course (cheers for accountability and support!) and gently make modifications as needed - no extremes!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Want help finding your ideal weight without extremes? Send me a DM or apply for nutrition coaching at the link in my bio! I can't wait to help support you as you achieve your goals!

Hands up for knowing pant sizes are MEANINGLESS!!

Hands up for knowing pant sizes are MEANINGLESS!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ooooh man, nothing is as fickle and inconsistent as women's clothing sizes, right? One store's size 4 is another store's size 10 - I mean, what?!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So let's let it go! Clothing size is just a number that has ZERO connection to your value as a human, your beauty, your talents, nothing! Which is why reaching a certain clothing size is never a goal my clients or I set.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We focus on different goals, yes, but also spend a lot of time focusing on the present moment and how you want to feel and act, not waiting until an arbitrary day or milestone is met before you start enjoying life today. This includes clothing! You deserve to wear clothes that fit and that you feel good in today!!!

Hands up for actually ENJOYING the food you eat!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sounds simple right? But if you're like many clients I've worked with, you've found yourself restricting your favorite foods because they're not "healthy" or low calorie enough, and eating foods you don't really love because they're "healthy" (a common one I've seen is fat free, plain greek yogurt when they'd prefer a flavor, a little sweetener, some fruit added - anything!).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You're allowed to want to feel good in your body, you're allowed make changes to pursue your ideal weight, AND you're allowed to enjoy food every step of the way!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What's not needed? Super low calorie diet prescriptions where you end up with boring, bland food - half of which you don't love but you eat because it's low calorie, "healthy" and you think you should.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The solution: eat foods you like! Balancing your favorite indulgent foods with nutritious foods (that you still enjoy!) is the BEST way to enjoy the journey to finding your ideal weight AND have sustainable results!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is something I love helping my clients work through - dropping the "shoulds", the extremes, and restriction and focusing on adding more enjoyable foods, activities, and habit - today. Not waiting to enjoy life and enjoy your food until you've reached an arbitrary goal weight.

How do you know if you're above your ideal weight?

How do you know if you're above your ideal weight?🤔
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A few days ago I was DMing with a few of y'all about the difference between goal weights vs. ideal weights, and this question of, "well how do you know your ideal weight?" kept popping up.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While I can't give you a specific number (that's not how your ideal weight works, I'm afraid!), I can share this list of 9 questions that you can ask yourself to get an idea if you're above your ideal weight (slightly adapted from Lindo Bacon's book "Health at Every Size"). Find yourself answering, "yes," to any (or many) of the questions? Then there's a good chance you're likely above your ideal weight.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I work with my clients to help them reach their ideal weight - WITHOUT diets, deprivation, or restriction (yup - it's totally possible!). Food and your body stop being a source of anxiety and stress, and you become proactive with your habits and health goals to find a flexible lifestyle that allows you the mental freedom and physical activities you crave!

With all of our @sitkasalmonshares deliveries (like a CSA for Alaskan seafood) I wanted to share some of my favorite easy fish recipes for quick, weeknight dinners.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've been reallllly craving recipe #3 lately, so I'm planning to start there! Pro tip: cooking times may vary, but no matter the size of your fish fillets, you'll know they're done when the fish reaches 145 degrees.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Has anyone ever made you feel that you can't opt out of diet culture AND pursue your ideal weight?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pursuing your ideal weight doesn't have to mean buying into diet culture BS (i.e. "I need a flat stomach to be happy"). Knowing you're above your ideal weight and wanting to adjust some habits and routines to change that isn't inherently disordered.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I help my clients find their ideal weight by focusing on intentional, sustainable habit changes. You can pursue the version of you where you feel your best - physically and mentally. All without ANYTHING that feels restrictive to you!

Hands up for a simple strategy for deprivation-fre

Hands up for a simple strategy for deprivation-free weight loss!🙌
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you ever had a container of brownies (or banana cake, like here!) on the counter, and just "snuck" tiny slivers here and there? Feeling like you "shouldn't" have a whole piece because it's not on your diet/ too much sugar/ carbs/ fat/ joy?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Guess what?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You're likely eating MORE by having a tiny sliver here and there throughout the day, and feeling less satisfied, too, from the mental restriction.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Instead? Try serving yourself a satisfying portion (yup, on a plate and with a fork/ spoon), sit down without distractions, and fully enjoy it. Put the dessert away - and don't leave the knife in there, that makes it way too easy to keep going back for sliver after sliver. Then move on with your day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is such a simple tip, but it's one of my favorite strategies that Dr. Traci Mann (research of diets and self control) shares in her book "Secrets from the Eating Lab" (a MUST read, btw!).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
