In honor of national eating disorder awareness wee

In honor of national eating disorder awareness week, wanted to share a bit more about my own body journey.
I actually wrote this caption over the summer after getting my dress fitted for a friend’s wedding. Stumbled upon it again over the weekend and felt ~fitting~ for this week. Here goes.
When I was getting my dress fitted for the wedding a few weeks ago, I just needed the bottom taken up a bit which is what I told the tailor. The rest of the dress (in my opinion) fit well. When I was there, she touched my hips and said “tight. Eat less.”
I started laughing and asked her to repeat, as I was sure I misheard. In fact I did not.
At many (many) moments in my life, this statement would have really stung (read: shook me to my core and sent me spiraling.). Growing up as a competitive dancer, thoughts about my body were constant and it took years of dismantling this narrative. And when I say years I in fact mean over a decade. After many years and therapy (we’re talking 10+), I was able to simply laugh her statement off and not adopt it into my identity and circuitous cycle of self-talk. Mostly because I was able to apply a decade of (un)learning to the experience.
Here's why/how:
- Thin privilege. I have never been classified as overweight. There is/was clinically no need for me to eat less.
- Refocusing my values. Am I healthy? yes. Am I happy? yes. If those two boxes are checked, I’d say I’m doing pretty fantastic
- My self-worth is attributed to FAR more than just my body size and physical appearance. I actively work every day to focus on what I am doing and how I’m feeling (how I’m pursuing my passions, the things I’m contributing to my local and online community, the messages I’m spreading) vs the size of my body. I WANT TO TAKE UP SPACE. Abundance, baby! And if that means not forcing my body into a state of size that is smaller than its baseline, then I am DEFINITELY okay with that.
HAPPY Sunday!! I hope everyone can find a way to focus on rest. #twistoflemons

Let’s do a weekend build a vegetabowl workshop activity together! This is what was packed for my worm lunch today. For the base, I used a rice mixture (I love right rice) with kale and romaine. Then topped with mushrooms, leftover roasted butternut squash, avocado, pesto and drizzled with tahini.
Happy weekend, friends! #twistoflemons

You know that head-to-(pota)toe loathing feeling t

You know that head-to-(pota)toe loathing feeling that comes with meal prep around Thursday. The meals are stale and soggy and you’re stick of just about everything? Same.
So on Thursdays I’ll do my best to bring you something that can be made with mostly pantry ingredients paired with a pun. Because I used to have an entire notepad in my phone dedicated to food puns, which I lovingly called “the puntry.”
I usually have a sweet potato lying around. And it’s easy to pair with other pantry staples and produce that will last in the fridge til the end of the week (looking at you, bell pepper).
I just baked a sweet potato and topped with sautéed peppers, feta, tahini, sun-dried tomatoes. Easiest meal made in a snap! #twistoflemons

#ad Starting my career in medicine during a pandem

#ad Starting my career in medicine during a pandemic is certainly not something I could have ever predicted. It has without a doubt been the most challenging, sobering, exhausting, and yet fulfilling, humbling, and moving chapters of my life. So when asked how I hoped to 'level up' in the new year in partnership with @mindbodygreen and @rxbar, my initial reaction was to shift the narrative away from the constant churning, turning, and creating, and instead to just keep going. To focus on and appreciate what I already have, rather than always looking for that next best thing. I wrote a bit more about how I'm committed to this simplification on @mindbodygreen (think: going back to basics in both lifestyle and snack options like my favorite @rxbar) - link to the post is in my bio! #twistoflemons #RXercise #RXBAR

ponytail tightened? check. scenes from an afternoon of catching up on notes and doing a little blog writing - day in the life of my typical weekend. Made all the more soothing by my @purecare_home weighted blanket. Bonus indulgence points for bringing your BED pillow over to the COUCH! The life of small luxuries!! For me, said pillow is also @purecare_home, which is the softest, most plush, cooling pillow on the planet. Both of these items come in their wellness collective - sheets, pillows, protectors, and weighted blanket that weave benefits like cooling, recovery, and aromatherapy into your sleep routine. Head to the link in my bio to read about my favorite and most creative ways to improve relaxation and sleep in this new year! #twistoflemons

Anyone else find themselves tREMbling through last

Anyone else find themselves tREMbling through last year with a disrupted and disjointed sleep cycle? Because same. So I’m here to reclaim the REM with the help of @purecare_home - a company dedicated to educating about improving sleep all while creating the most soothing products to help in that endeavor. They’re also the official bedding products of the National Sleep Foundation, so they really know sleep. New blog post featuring my favorite and most creative ways to improve sleep in this new year.

ready to naCHOmp down on those leftover nachos fro

ready to naCHOmp down on those leftover nachos from the weekend? Here’s a perfect little pantry meal to use up all those leftover ingredients (looking at you almost stale tortilla chips and 1/2 empty jar of salsa).
on Thursdays I’ll do my best to bring you something that can be made with mostly pantry ingredients paired with a pun. Because I used to have an entire notepad in my phone dedicated to food puns, which I lovingly called “the puntry.”
This is essentially a deconstructed nacho casserole? Idk not sure but whatever I’m (casse)rolling with it.
What you’ll need:
- spaghetti squash
- Black beans
- 1 red pepper
- 1 jar salsa (or whatever you have)
- Crushed up tortilla chips
- Cheese
Bake spaghetti squash (or microwave). Then just assemble: spaghetti squash, rinsed black means, diced red bell pepper, salsa, tortilla / taco shells, cheese. In the oven at 350F just until cheese melts, ~10 minutes. Top with avocado and cilantro.
