I just love this quote. What makes you smile?? Animals always bring me joy....here are a few of my recent encounters.
Motivational moment: Find what brings you joy and do more of it. That one simple act can begin to transform your thoughts and attitude.

Thankful for the opportunity to Educate local teens at Webb School about the dangers of the DIET culture ! Love my job.

Do you find yourself ruminating and feeling hopeless about ever changing your ingrained binge habits?
Worry kills hope. Loss of hope halts progress. This motivational moment helps you let go of worry so that you can live in your day with peace, hope and joy.

Happy New Year!! Do you struggle to commit to something ? Are you frequently struggling to begin a new habit then stick to it? Starting with small challenges, being consistent, and sticking to them is the start to a whole new transformation. I did it years ago with my eating disorder and I can help you too!
I don't have a green thumb because i've never taken the time to learn or be conscientious about watching them and watering them weekly. Greenery in the house is a beautiful symbol of life, season changes, transformation and growth. So this year, with these gifted Christmas plants, my goal is to keep the green life alive and thriving.

⚠️TW: ⚠️ (Eating disorders) My recovery journey ❤️‍🩹 In 2018/19 I relapsed into my eating disorder after losing too much weight after having my 4th baby. I was suffering from orthorexia & bulimia, was exhausted all the time & consumed by food thoughts. I looked pregnant & would experience severe bloating every time I ate and convinced myself I had 100 food intolerances. In Sept 2019 I chose recovery & hired an ED coach (@dr_kimberly_hicks 🙏🏼). I started eating intuitively & stopped all ED behaviours. In 2020 I gained weight, but most importantly gained my life back. In 2021 the overshoot weight went down naturally, and I stabilised at my set point. Everyday I get DM’s asking about my weight but honestly it’s the least important thing about this whole journey. Recovery was the best decision I ever made 💖 This little video makes it look easier than it was, but I would choose it everyday over and over again rather than go back to my ED. ❤️‍🩹

Every Day, Every Decision, You have a choice. Sometimes we feel so stuck in a negative cycle that it seems impossible to get out and that we are flawed. Having disordered eating is not an identity, it started with one choice and became a habit. Believe and have hope that you can make a different choice and recover. Recovery happens one choice at a time. If you need encouragement, sunshine and accountability, reach out.

A big big thank you to Chi Omega for inviting me to speak to your chapter.
As part of my mission and outreach to the community, I love speaking to young women about how to have balance in life, and in nutrition. Educating about dieting cycle pitfalls, keys to intuitively eating and recognizing the signs of developing an eating disorder. I hope to empower these young women to persevere in trials and ask for help when they need it.

9/15/2020. "Kimberly has been coaching me since September 2019 and because of her I am coming up to one year of true recovery. For the first time in my life I see a way out of the hell that was my 12 year eating disorder and I am so grateful to her for that. Before finding Kimberly I had experienced many attempts at recovery either on my own, or going down the more traditional route of psychologists and CBT but nothing ever worked or if it did it never stuck. This time around I actually feel the closest I’ve ever felt to full recovery and total freedom from eating disorders. I had struggled with bulimia from my teenage years into my late twenties and then again after a relapse in my early thirties. I am now coming up to 33 and I feel like I’ve got a brand new chance at life. Considering how deeply unhappy, out of control and anxious I felt about my body, food and my self confidence only one year ago compared to now, it’s as if I’m a different person. My life has changed for the better, I have so much more energy, I can think clearer, I’m able to participate in family events and occasions without any anxiety, I have a newfound respect and love for myself and my body which I never had before. I no longer think about food, calories, weight or numbers. I’m a truly happier, calmer and a better wife & mother as a result of my recovery. Thank you Kimberly, for making me believe in myself again and for leading me down the path of total freedom! :)”. Anna Saccone Joly
