"Sometimes in life you are lucky enough to meet people who blow your mind with their intelligence, kindness, inner beauty and general amazingness - and Annina is one of these people. You won't be disappointed!"

Having food around is the first step to regular nourishment, for where there is no food, no food can be eaten! And if food shopping is hard, consider meal delivery services or online grocery shopping according to recipes. 🌿
This made me laugh! Zoom in for a little recovery and self-compassion humor. ☺️ #Repost @newyorkermag ・・・ A cartoon by @daveostowdraws. Follow @newyorkercartoons for more #TNYcartoons.

Every day - and there’s nothing I’d rather do!
Ask yourself the following six questions to find out whether or not your use of cannabis would be considered problematic by professionals: Have you ever smoked before noon? Have you ever smoked when you were alone? Have you ever had memory issues when you smoked? Have friends or family ever said you should reduce your use? Have you tried to cut down or stop smoking unsuccessfully before? Has your cannabis use ever caused problems, for example bad results at school or work, accidents, fights, being unable to do important things you were hoping to do, etc.)? If you’ve answered yes to two or more of these questions, you could benefit from counselling. #cannabis #quiz #cannabiscommunity #420girls #420 #420life #cannabisdaily #cannabisgirls #cannabismodel
I keep telling my clients that we can’t fix the issue by pretending that food, substances or alcohol aren’t in our lives. Rather, we need to look at what causes us so much stress that we engage in behaviors. Usually, it’s complicated and we can’t just stop doing something that has been helping us regulate stress and pressure for so long.🌿 If you’re interested in how that works, buy your ticket for this Saturday’s Relapse Prevention workshop now.

#Repost @bodyposipanda ・・・ "Isn't it irresponsible to tell people they can eat whatever they want? What about self control?" • I used to be terrified of what would happen if I let go of my self control around food. And THAT in itself is the problem. • Nobody should have to fear their own appetite. Nobody should be made to believe that their most natural instincts are the enemy. Nobody should have a relationship with food that's so rooted in guilt and shame that it takes over their life. But that's exactly the relationship with food that so many of us have, and exactly why messages telling people that they're allowed to eat whatever they want are so needed. • ‘Eat whatever you want’ doesn't mean ‘exist solely on the foods you've been taught to label as “bad” and never consume another vegetable again for as long as you live’. ‘Eat whatever you want’ means you're allowed to listen to your body. It means you're allowed to build a new relationship with food that doesn't sacrifice your mental wellbeing. And it means that your food intake can be decided each day in a way that works for YOU, and YOUR needs. • We cannot prescribe a single way of eating to every person because we do not know their needs, mental or physical. But do you know what we can do? We can teach people how to reconnect with and trust their own bodies. We can help people to unlearn that shame. We can give people back the mental energy they spend obsessing over food each day so they can actually use that energy to live their lives. And once so many of us aren't scared of the numbers in our lunch, then we'll be able to have real conversations about nutrition, while remembering that no number of nutrients consumed makes one human being better than another. • So yes, people can eat whatever they want. Self control is not what's needed here, healing is. 💜💙💚🌈🌞 #intuitiveeating #ed
