Hi ,
Fun fact about me: Before I discovered intuitive eating, I had a long list of "scary foods." (Grilled cheese with lots of butter and full-fat muenster, almond croissants, ice cream, bagels, toast, pasta, and cookies to name a few.) If I ate them it was only under certain conditions; I was pregnant, I'd done a big workout or was planning to do one soon, I'd been "good" all day, or I'd be "good" tomorrow. I had a lot of food rules. They were very specific, ever-changing, and I often broke them, which made me feel out of control and weak.My food fears didn't really have anything to do with the food or even my body. I was afraid that if my body wasn't small enough, then I wasn't good enough. I didn't realize that I was already enough.I also didn't realize that the reason I felt out of control around food was that restricting (whether you're actually limiting your intake or creating a bunch of food rules that you end up breaking) naturally leads to bingeing. My obsession with trying to maintain control was, in fact, the reason I felt so out of control.Giving myself full permission to eat anything I want allows me to deeply tune into my true desires without having to cut through the noise ("But you've already had bread today." "That's too starchy." "That's too buttery." "That's only for special occasions.")Renegotiating my relationship with food was just the beginning. Since I got into the practice of intuitive eating, it's been a whole lot easier to tune into my intuition, period.I'm so much better equipped to make decisions in every other area of my life now that I know that I already have the answers I'm searching for.There is no app, diet (or lifestyle), course, coach, or guru who knows more about you than you do right in this moment. You're already an expert on what you need.💗 Trust yourself.xo,
