Dieting Does Not Work – Talking To A Dietitian About Food

November 2, 2020 //  by plusmommy//  Leave a Comment

It’s common knowledge these days that dieting does not work.

Yet, if you’re someone who has dieted their entire life, it can feel unclear how to approach nutrition.

Registered Dietician Jenn Bryant joins the show to discuss why dieting does not work, how to practice mindful eating, setting up healthy habits, and fun tips for feeding our kids.

Jenn and I connected because our kids go to school together.

Finding out she was a dietician made me nervous as a plus size mom.

Turns out, like most nutritionists, Jenn is pretty cool and doesn’t judge.

We recorded this conversation while sitting on her couch in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Biokleen cleaning products

I’ve been on a mission to swap out my standard stinky cleaners with eco-friendly and non-toxic products. So, I’m excited to share Biokleen with you today!

Biokleen believes that a house free of toxins is a home full of love. Their plant and mineral-based products are highly effective without the use of any toxic chemicals. That’s right – no phosphates, chlorine, ammonia, alcohol, and a bunch of other chemicals I can’t pronounce that give off those awful fumes while you’re cleaning.

Their products are free from artificial colors or fragrances and are never tested on animals.

My favorite product is their Bac-Out Stain and Odor Remover that works magic on pet messes and the mysterious gunk my 10-year-old got stuck on the carpet recently.

If you’re pregnant or have a little one, you’ll love their fragrance and enzyme-free baby laundry detergent packaged in recycled materials. My family loves the regular laundry detergent. Check it out!

Without thinking it through, I announced in storie Without thinking it through, I announced in stories that in 2021 I'm walking from Albuquerque, New Mexico, to Fullerton, California!⁣
⁣
Yup. I did that.⁣
⁣
And while I'm laughing at myself, I'm sticking to it!⁣
⁣
Hear me out.⁣
⁣
I miss my parents and sister who live in California so much, and we don't know when we'll see one another again.⁣
⁣
It's about 800 miles from my home in Albuquerque to my family in Fullerton.⁣
⁣
So, I plan to walk 800 miles in one year!⁣
⁣
Sure, I'll just be doing laps around my neighborhood, but in my heart, I'll be one step closer to my family.⁣
⁣
What's better?⁣
⁣
My mom and sister have joined in, and they're walking my way!⁣
⁣
So, while I'm still laughing at myself and trying not to overthink this big goal - I'm excited for this journey to begin.⁣
⁣
And since this all started in stories, I'll keep sharing, and you can follow along.⁣
⁣
Are you setting any big goals in 2021? Let me know so I can cheer you on!⁣

Let's chat about mom guilt. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Ever loo Let's chat about mom guilt. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Ever look through your childhood photos and wonder what exactly your parents were thinking?⁠⠀
⁠⠀
And I'm not talking about my perm and fashionable bubble necklace. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Swipe to see a photo my mother took of my sister and me trying to pet a wild animal. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
A wild animal with massive horns! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Parenting in the 90s = "I'll allow it!"⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Why have I held onto so much mom guilt for the questionable parenting choices I've made that never involved horns? ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
That ends today! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I’m shaking off my guilt, pouring myself a cup of coffee in my #1 Mom mug, and moving on with my beautiful life. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Children of the 80s and 90s, who's with me? ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
#momguilt #plusmommy #plussizemom ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Today I want to celebrate something that’s hard Today I want to celebrate something that’s hard to admit. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
When my son was little, I taught him that mommy drinks, "mommy juice."⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I didn't ever want him to take a sip of my drink and accidentally consume alcohol.  ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
So, he knows to ask before sipping.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I didn't drink "mommy juice" nightly, but enough that I wasn't honest when care providers asked how many drinks per week. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
It went on like that for many years. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Then 2020 hit, and in March, I bought a case of wine. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
And then, when that was gone, I bought more wine.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
All the "mommy needs wine" memes made me feel like what I was doing was fine.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
A long day of distance learning? ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Mommy needs her juice! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
On the evening of November 14th, I drank a bottle of wine, and I remember thinking, 'I want to feel this way all the time.' ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
On November 15th, I woke up that morning and knew I needed to stop. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
And so I did. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I promised myself I would stop drinking for two weeks.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
It was hard for the first few days, which helped me realize how my drinking had gotten out of control. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Two weeks came and went with my husband's support. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
And I kept going. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I didn't drink on Thanksgiving or my birthday. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
As of today, I haven't had alcohol in a month.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I'm sharing this because I know many of us have turned to vices to get through this year. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
If something tells you that whatever you're doing needs to be cut back, I'm cheering you on!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Today I'm celebrating day 30, and if you want, today can be your day one.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
XO,⁠⠀
Jen⁠⠀
