I told my cat that she was the prettiest kitten but then I remembered how much I hate body-based compliments so instead I told her she was curious & strong and now I bet she feels empowered.

How many times can Meghan McCain be trending before they get her off The View she is ruining the good Meghan name

Doing wild weekend things*

*watching videos of people breaking character on SNL with my cat until he slid down, hit the keyboard, opened Siri who responded when I said "what are you doing" and told me how she's celebrating Juneteenth

Every time I'm on a zoom call with fellow therapists and dietitians, the gallery view of several people nodding with compassion and understanding in response to the speak makes me laugh and also fills my heart with a special kind of joy.

Just saw a sponsored ad for @noom where someone shared their exact weight and how many pounds they've lost. It's wild to me that Noom's party line continues to be that they're not a diet and they're not a weight loss company when every single thing they do contradicts this.

You guys dresses are just a sneaky way to never wear pants

If your kid decides to go on a "health kick" this summer, ask questions, pay attention, and get support.

Trying to "eat healthier" or "get in shape" can quickly lead to disordered eating and full threshold eating disorders.

Last night when we were getting into bed my partner told me he has a dentist appointment on Wednesday and I said "what time is it, tooth-hurty?" and honestly I'm still laughing about it

10am: "okay I really need to start answering these emails"
1001am: "I wonder how old Mary Kate and Ashley are"

Still thinking about an interaction I had with my grandmother's sister at her memorial service yesterday where she told me "have a good life if I don't see you again!" May we all have the honesty of a 94-year-old woman 😂

There's a lot of competition for worst takes on the internet but this is absolutely a top contender

My partner is downstairs riding our stationary bike and I heard him yell out so I went down there assuming he was hurt - turns out he's just playing MarioKart on his switch and someone hit him with a turtle.

Reading an article from 1999 that begins a) diets don't work, b) weight fluctuation is associated with increased mortality, c) chronic dieting is an ED risk factor

22 years later we're doing the same research to prove the same points. Exasperated beyond actual belief.

Me at 1pm: Okay I have 2 hours to catch up on my notes from last week
Me from 1-258pm: waters the plants, calls my mom, shops for new car insurance, answers emails, cleans the dishes, changes the water filter on the fridge
259pm: Oh well we'll try again tomorrow

hmm should I spend 2 seconds clicking unsubscribe or 1 second deleting an email from this company every single day for the rest of my life

There is a lot to unpack in this article but @TZuckerbrot "every single well-known diet plan has a 1,200 calorie option" is not the flex you think it is. That is true and thus not a surprise that 20-25% of people who do these kind of diets develop EDs.

I understand that I'm supposed to be angry about something a kardashian has done lately but tbh at this point I'd rather use that energy to create the opposite of what they're doing & put that into the world instead 🤷🏽‍♀️

Simone Biles makes me want to be a person who watches gymnastics outside of the Olympics.
