As a Registered Dietitian with years of pediatric experience, I’ve heard it all. Moms explaining the time their daughters came home from school in tears after being called fat. Dads wondering how they could help their kids stay healthy and active. Grandparents not understanding when some of the language they’ve used around their grandkids is seen as insulting.

It’s a problem I know too well.

I struggled with body image before I even knew what it meant. I remember as a kid, I would compare myself to the 0% body fat elementary schoolers, while I myself had a distinctive tummy and thighs that touched. I remember middle school as being the time of the 00 and XS, when girls boasted their clothing sizes like a mark of status. I remember first experimenting with dieting in high school, and while my goal was strength rather than weight loss, I can still feel the side effects years later. 

But I’ve spent YEARS taking notes and digging deep into exactly what I needed to do to unlearn all these hurtful mindsets. I’m here to share them with you, because if I could do it, you can too.

I hope you join me and commit to this worthwhile journey. Let’s build a healthier and happier future generation.

All my best,

Riley
