Was My Obsession with Skittles Disordered Eating? Here's How I Found Freedom (and Built a Toolkit to Help Others)

Ever felt like a prisoner in your own body, battling a silent war against food and exercise? Me too.


Sitting in therapy, a simple question cracked the code: "How does that land for you?" That's when I realized years of counting Skittles, forcing 5-mile walks, and obsessing over my weight weren't just pursuits to healthier habits. They were my battle with disordered eating.


But here's the good news: I'm not alone, and neither are you. Millions struggle with disordered eating, often in silence.


That's why I built my toolbox – a set of strategies to avoid unhealthy patterns and get back on track when I stumble. This journey to whole-being wellness is best with support, which is why I created Novice Vegan Life (NVL).


Feeling lost in the world of food and fitness? Let's chat! As a nutrition coach, I can help you:

  • Uncover the root of your disordered eating
