The unexpected Christmas suprise I didn't want....
Hello lovely ones, So I bet you have all received a gift you didn't want. That moment, when you open a present and just are not sure why it's been given to you... Let me share some of mine. My mum is terrible at giving me clothes I don't like. One time I got a leather jacket that didn't fit and in a style I didn't like (she hadn't bought it new thank goodness it was a hand me down) and one time a full size, I kid you not, weighted, flamenco dress. She even brought it over on the plane from Spain in a huge box. Did I want a flamenco dress? Nope. Can I flamenco dance? No? It did fit and was hilarious but frankly useless! This week I've had an early gift, the gift of Covid. UGH. Not what I wanted either. But in my mind there is always some kind of spin to put on things, a silver lining if you wish. For me, Covid is making me rest more and catch up on a pile of webinars I hadn't watched yet. Laptop on, lie in bed, listen. The same can be true with so many parts of recovery. Whilst it totally sucks, try to find the spin. Some examples (but I'd love to hear yours!) Having to eat all the time is hard work, I fill so full and it takes over life BUT... you are getting back your future and getting to rediscover you. All those meal times with family where we argue so much are upsetting, BUT you will be so much stronger through the end of this and it shows HOW MUCH they love you and how much you are worth. I hate seeing my body change and it's not what I want BUT you will gain a functional body for life and life is not all about how our bodies look. Promise. I'd really encourage you to write some of these out that are personal to you. Hit reply and let me know what they are, or just tell my your more useless gift, that will make me laugh! Sending love and a COVID free time, Priya xxx Ps: You can still download my Christmas tips and mini course here.

Welcome to your top Nutrition News, Recipes and Tips. Example link Welcome 2024 seems to have started off with lots of misinformation and diet fads. I've started a new series on Instagram busting these fad diet myths. These fad diets are so harmful! It can be even harder when people who are medical doctors, have a PhD or have a biochemistry degree are pushing these. Remember though that a dietitian is the only legally protected nutrition professional. Anyone who is selling a cure-all pill or...
The Recovery Tribe Food Freedom Fighters and Eating Disorder Recovery. Community, it's a bit of a buzz word I know but it is also so very key. As humans beings we were not designed to be on our own in the good times and in the hard times. I have spoken to so many people in the last 2 weeks who have told me how isolated they feel. How no-one really seems to understand them and they just want connection. So I want to suggest that if that is you, you start looking to create community. I know it...
