Retreat/Updates
Hey there beautiful followers, I hope all has been well with you guys. I was MIA lately, I went to a retreat at a local high school for the weekend with no technology allowed there. It was a great time for me to get in touch with my spiritual side which has been dead for my whole 18 years of living.

And whoever disagree’s, I will argue with them until I’m blue in the face....

Intuitive eating/Happiness
Lately, I’ve been getting really good at listening to my hunger cues and satisfying my cravings. It feels great to just trust that my body knows what it wants instead of critiquing it and forcing all these calorie-reduced foods in my mouth that I don’t even enjoy. Sometimes I’m still confused by my hunger cues. Sometimes I honestly can’t tell the difference if I’m...
