Healing your relationship with food isn't about willpower — it's about safety. When your nervous system feels safe, the emotional eating quiets down. That's not diet culture talking. That's trauma-informed truth. 🦋 #GlowAndFlow #HolisticWellness #AntiDietCulture

Illustration of two women. One slender woman enthusiastically says, “Whoa! Looking good! Have you lost weight? What’s your secret?” The other woman, who appears sad and is wearing a floral dress, has a series of internal thoughts listed beside her, including: “I am relapsing and my eating disorder is back,” “I am really depressed,” “I can’t afford groceries,” “I am skipping meals,” “I am not taking my insulin to lose weight,” “I started purging,” and more. The image highlights that weight loss can be a symptom of suffering, not health.

Complimenting weight loss isn’t always kindness.
Sometimes it’s applauding illness, grief, stress, poverty, relapse, or pain.
Compliment the person — not the pounds. ✨

Diet culture as religion: Faith and Fatness with Amanda Martinez Beck In this deeply personal and thought-provoking episode, Ninna is joined by author, activist, and future priest Amanda Martinez Beck to explore the powerful idea of diet culture as a religion. Together, they unpack how societal norms around body size, food, and morality mirror religious structures—and how we can begin to unlearn these harmful beliefs.From shared experiences of Catholicism and fat liberation to reflections on disability, theology, and representation, this conversation is rich with insight, vulnerability, and hope. Amanda and Ninna challenge the cultural narratives that equate thinness with virtue and fatness with failure, offering instead a vision of radical self-acceptance, spiritual abundance, and embodied joy.

#AntiDietCulture

I don’t share transformation pictures. I don’t ask clients for transformation pictures. I stopped complimenting people on their weight loss years ago. Why? Weight loss is not always synonymous with health or health promoting behaviors.

"The Substance" was such a good movie?? Not what I expected at all. Such a good commentary not just on aging and beauty standards for women, but body dysmorphia as well. #edrecovery #antidietculture #womenover40
