Future you wants a different story. What are you waiting for?

Future you wants a different story.

What are you waiting for?

I used to be the healthy one.

The disciplined one.

The one who looked like she had everything under control.

But behind the scenes, food took up way too much space in my head. If I ate something "bad", the spiral would start—overthinking, overcompensating, and overdoing it in my workouts.

Getting here took unlearning a lot of the so-called “healthy” rules that were quietly wrecking me. But now, food feels simple. Exercise feels free. I eat what I need, I move how I want, and I don’t spend hours replaying every choice in my head. It’s not perfect, but it’s calm. And that calm? It’s worth everything.

That’s why I do this work—because this is the support I wish my past self had, and the kind of support I can now offer you, so that you can:

Stop obsessing over every bite and just eat
End the restrict-binge cycle for good
Trust your body without relying on rules or willpower
Move your body because it feels good—not to undo what you ate
Feel calm and confident in your food choices, every day

If you're being honest with yourself...

You eat clean. You track your macros. You train. You do everything "right." But under all that effort is a quiet pressure to keep everything under control.

You second-guess your hunger. Obsess over portions. Feel guilty for enjoying food too much—or not enough.
And if you’re honest, you’re not even sure what normal feels like anymore.

You’re not lazy. You’re not broken.
You’re tired.

Because for all your discipline and drive, food still feels like a thing to manage—not enjoy. And the mental load? It’s getting heavy.

If restriction actually worked, it would’ve worked by now. Instead, you’re stuck in the cycle. Tense around food. Frustrated with your body. Wondering what it’s going to take to just feel... okay.

You want peace. Simplicity. To feel good in your skin without micromanaging every bite, trying to shrink yourself.

This isn’t about giving up.
It’s about finally finding a way forward that feels like you.

Maybe the problem was never willpower.
Maybe it was the rules all along.

What If...

You could eat what you’re craving without guilt—or the need to justify it.
You could go out to dinner and actually enjoy the food and company, without planning your “make up” workout for tomorrow.
You could move your body because it feels good—not because you feel like you have to earn your meals.
You could look in the mirror without picking yourself apart.
You could end the day without replaying every bite, every choice, every should-have.

And maybe…

You could have your mind back.
For the people you love. For the things you care about. For you.

No tracking.
No cutting out foods you love.
No scale ruling your day.

Just real freedom.

The kind that lasts.

Strong women. Stronger Stories.

If I ate more than I thought I should, I would feel guilty and frustrated because I didn't have enough willpower to stop. I even made excuses not to join my friends for brunch after a run because I was afraid that I would eat too much.

After working with Cindy, I was ordering exactly what I wanted, without the guilt. I laughed through a whole meal with my best friends one weekend—and didn’t think about calories once.

Now, food is just food. And my relationships—and my weekends—feel lighter than they have in years.

I knew Intuitive Eating in theory, but every time I tried, I’d run right back to tracking. I had no idea what I was doing.

A few weeks later, my scales were packed away, and I was eating food that I had been missing. I also realized I didn’t even like half the foods on my “perfect” plan! Now I choose what I truly enjoy, eat without overthinking, and move because it feels good!

Cindy totally understood my food battles. High school Coaches had always told me that I needed to eat less and be smaller, so that message stuck in my brain for years. I was terrified that letting go would mean gaining weight.

When we started working together, we focused on three things: letting go of food guilt, rebuilding body trust, and moving for joy instead of punishment.

One night, I ate pizza—and I cried from relief.

I wish I had started working with her sooner!
