I’m Claire Chewning–a Registered Dietitian, Yoga Teacher & Food Humor Enthusiast. I help people ditch the chronic cycles of dieting and disordered eating through a non-diet + Health at Every Size® aligned approach. Follow along to learn how you regain trust with yourself and food to create life-long habits that honor + nourish your unique body, preferences, and lifestyle–no scales, calorie trackers, food rules, or depravation involved! Oh, I’m also obsessed with PB&J. Want to learn more about me? You can do that here.

But tbh, I couldn’t be more uninterested in that [probably incorrect] fact. What I AM interested in, though, is the fact that many people will read that message and end up feeling more fearful towards food + ashamed of their bodies because of it. It’s not an inspirational message, it’s a harmful one.

Not to mention these feelings will very likely lead to a more stressful holiday season AND the continued cycle of new diet ➡️ diets doesn’t work ➡️ feel like a failure ➡️ new diet, etc. 👎

I vote to use the holiday season to talk about all of the awesome opportunities it holds to help you strengthen your relationship with food + your body! 🙌
