Who am I and What I do

My name is Kayla Douthitt. I, myself, had struggled with eating disorders for 10 years. I anorexic on and off, binged, and was ALWAYS on a diet. I never really enjoyed food, I thought it was "the enemy." I over-exercised, under-ate, counted calories relentlessly, and feared food. This time in my life left me unhappy, unsatisfied, and never in the moment. I felt that being "skinny" was the only way to feel good and the only way to look. I was never truly with my loved ones during holidays or birthday parties, I felt I always had to bring something healthy when I was "dieting" couldn't eat there food, or I would gain weight, and often times go a week without eating a mere 500 calories. This time in my life, I am not proud of, nor do I want to see you do this to your body. That is why I sought after answers, seeked help for myself, and found intuitive eating for the first time in my life. It's a process that doesn't happen over night, but it's worth doing. This is where I found to honor myself, my body, my mind, and my spirit.

This was me then....I may not look unhappy, but I was extremely unhappy and felt nasty ALL the time. I thought a size zero was huge. Crazy righ?!





This is me now....and feelin' fine most days.



Now, through intuitive eating, I am not afraid to eat my mother-in-law's broccoli casserole, my mom's mashed potatoes, or my grandmother's beans and cornbread. It took me a while to stop the fear, stop the over extreme exercising, and constantly crunching numbers in my head, but I did it! And my goal is to show you that you can too! I want to show you that eating what your body needs is not hard, you will not gain tremendous amounts of weight, and your body will be EXACTLY what is right for YOU! That is why I have designed this page to share experiences, recipes, coaching, and tools to help you succeed. I am here for YOU and to allow you to realize food is NOT the enemy. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Communication and have a wide knowledge health and nutrition. I love to cook, love to help others, and hold a smile on my face most days. I am not perfect, no one is perfect. I know this now, and I want you to find a happy medium, find yourself, and love your body.
