  You're ready to listen to your body!

  Hey Rebel! You’ve probably been on diets for years, maybe even since your childhood or teenage years. You love the excitement and promise that each new diet brings - another opportunity for lasting change and the hope that this one will actually work. If you make a hardboiled egg or pop a slice of bread in the toaster, you can recite exactly how many calories are in your food. Your brain is basically a book of nutrition knowledge that you’ve gathered over the years, open it up and you’ll find memorized calories, carb & fat grams, points or serving sizes. With all your nutrition knowledge, you feel frustrated that you haven’t been able to “figure it out” yourself with food. You blame yourself for a lack of willpower & discipline for not having long-term success with diets, and you feel embarrassed for your diet failures. You feel like you should be able to fix this “problem” on your own and are upset that it’s gotten this far where you actually took a quiz to see what’s going on. In other areas of your life, you are motivated and successful. When you put your mind to something, you achieve it… except when it comes to food. You know deep down that diets don’t work because they have never worked for you in the long-term. Sure, you may have lost a few pounds here & there, only to gain it back & possibly more later. Your food thoughts and cravings have only escalated with each successive diet and you’re tired of dieting not working. You are ready for freedom outside of this!Your motivation & good work ethic that you naturally have will help you in your journey to becoming an intuitive eater & forming a healthy relationship with food & your body.

  You want to trust yourself with food

  Can you say impulsive? In your life you’ve committed yourself to more things than one quickly, only to find yourself regretting that impulse commitment later. Perhaps an impulse buy, signing yourself up for a super expensive gym membership or registering for a crazy hard race. Your impulsiveness translates to your relationship with food, too. You wake up and promise yourself to be “good” with food. You feel proud of yourself when you eat “good” food, snack less or pass on the cookies. However, it doesn’t take much to push you off your tracks until you “fall off the wagon” and into the abyss of being out of control with food. Time alone with food is the hardest for you. Once you put the kids in bed, your husband is at work, or your roomie goes out of town for the weekend, you’re like a zombie waltzing into the kitchen to snack on alllll the things. It feels embarrassing, but you’ve eaten your roommates food, thrown away your husband’s sweets or finished a months worth of ice cream all in one sitting. After losing control with food, you don’t feel well physically and mentally. You beat yourself up, feel bloated & uncomfortable for hours later. No one knows about this “issue” with food except for yourself and possibly 1-2 of your closest friends. You feel alone and isolated, like a crazy person with food and like you lack control. You fear that you’ll never be normal with food. But alas, you are strong. It takes a strong woman to put up with the mental & emotional discomfort from being out of control with food. And if you can do that, you can absolutely overcome these behaviors so you can coexist with food any and everywhere at peace. Whether you are home alone for the weekend, or on vacation with your partner, it’s possible for you to enjoy food again without the lingering fear of losing control. You need a plan and accountability! Check your email shortly for a free workbook to help you get started.

  You're ready to focus on YOU!

  Comments like, “Did you lose weight? You look amazing!” and “I can tell those gym sessions are really paying off, you’re rockin’ that dress!” make you feel GOOD about yourself. You’re often known as the “fit” and “healthy” one amongt your friend group and have wrapped up much of your identity with your diet & exercise habits. On the outside, you look like you have it all together, are really healthy and always motivated to hit the gym. On the inside, you’re a mess. You think about food and your body 24/7, feel incredibly anxious if you miss a day at the gym or don’t hit X steps, and get the heebie jeebies if you don’t eat all your veggies everyday. You constantly compare your body and food choices to others. Are you the fittest? Healthiest? Eating the most? Eating the least? When you grew up your parents or family close to you would make comments on what you ate like, “are you sure you want that extra scoop of sour cream?” OR “that coffee creamer has so much sugar in it, are you sure you want to use it?” Your parents and/or close family members are likely obsessed over their food choices and/or body, which has made you feel like you need to hyperfocus on yours too. Going home to eat with your family is kinda annoying to be honest because you’re over all the food talk. You want freedom outside of your obsessive relationship with food and your body but are afraid that if you do this, others will think you let yourself go. You’re at the point where you are realizing that validation from others isn’t worth all of the time and energy you put into maintaining your food and fitness routine. You’re ready to find peace with food and your body so you can be more present in life, feel healthy, and free your mind of obsessive & exhausting food and body comments. You know there is freedom outside of this!Check your email shortly for a free workbook to help you get started. :)

  You could use some support!

  You’ve always thought you have a good relationship with food and are kinda wondering why you just took this quiz. You’ve made food choices “in the name of health” like choosing to “eat clean” or “cut carbs” because that’s what wellness culture said to do. You believe it’s okay to eat all food as long as the portions are right. You keep yourself in check by weighing frequently or making sure clothes still fit. If the scale goes up a few pounds or your clothes feel a lil’ snug, it’s time to “get back on track.”You think about food an annoying amount and don’t necessarily think you have a problem with food, but again, here we are post-quiz talking about your relationship with food. You’re in a bit of denial about this but do care about your health and are tired of the nagging food and body thoughts that are annoying & distracting. With a lil’ help, you can become more flexible around food so you can stop thinking about it so often and feel more at peace with your body.
