  • “Owning our story and loving ourselves through the process is the bravest thing we will ever do.” ~@brenebrown⁣ .⁣ .⁣ If I’d surrendered to my circumstances 20 years ago, I’d be on a very different - perhaps destructive path. In my home culture, a woman did not emerge into a leadership role, nor was she encouraged to pursue education. And she certainly was not someone who could aspire for a high flying career - let alone a say in her future. This imbalance of power; men always cast as dominant and women as deferential, ignited a fire. A fire to realize freedom - freedom of thought and expression - and freedom to pursue education to make a difference. ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ Growing up, dreaming was my default button; it enabled me to escape from my bleak reality, and in my mind, I began to create an alternative image of a woman; one who’s tenacious, educated, and passionate – and one who can bring about real and positive change in the world. I connected with this woman and my circumstances became my motivation to strive to become this woman.⁣ .⁣ .⁣ This National Dietitian Day, I reflect back on my journey and ponder on my word for 2019: A L W A Y S - specifically these two mantras to help bring my word to life:⁣ .⁣ .⁣ ✨There’s always hope⁣ ✨God always give the strength to handle⁣ ✨Always do your best and leave the rest⁣ .⁣ .⁣ Shout out to all the wonderful dietitians out there, who work passionately to inspire health and wellness in their communities.

  • 🛌You snooze, you win…! 🙌🏼⁣ ⁣ ✨Remember at school, how we were told, “You snooze, you lose!” Well, as adults, that may not be the case! ⁣ ⁣ For me, a crappy snooze can lead to feeling cranky, exhausted and emotional.What’s interesting is, sleep deprivation may also lead to overeating as well! In fact evidence from a collection of studies from Kings College, London, show that after a night of very little sleep - around 4 hours, people, on average, consumed ~400 extra calories the next day. That’s like a chicken burrito bowl from Chipotle. What’s more, they’d opt for more fat and less protein. . 📌The current National Sleep Foundation guidelines recommend 7–9 h of sleep per night for adults aged 18–64 years, and state <6 h may compromise health and well-being. . 💤Trouble sleeping?

  • The truth is, I don’t want to talk about food today. I’m overcome with sadness and a sense of hopelessness. Dozens killed and others seriously injured in what’s been called “a hate-filled terror attack,” in New Zealand. It’s devastating.⁣ ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ My family and I will be going to the mosque today - as we go most Fridays. But since hearing the news, those moments of Friday prayer won’t stop playing in my head - moments of peace, stillness and calm. Just like the moments those innocent worshippers must have felt in those Mosques in New Zealand - before their lives were ripped apart. ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ ⁣ Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families, friends and loved ones who have been affected by this senseless attack. Praying for the deceased - may their souls rest in peace. 🙏🏻
