• Is this title triggering AF or what?⁠
⁠
I hate to admit this, but this was one of the first books that found me in college when I first began my journey of ‘waking up’ and learning to un-diet. It was written by a local therapist whom I deeply respect to this day, but the title of this book is so so wrong! ⁠
⁠
At the time, I couldn’t see through this. I wanted to lose weight so badly and I thought I needed to learn the ‘secrets of slim people!’ LOL…While this is not intuitive eating, the contents of this book were actually non-diet and helped me to re-learn to listen and trust my body. ⁠
⁠
BUT, the title reinforces weight stigma and increases fat phobia as well as obviously glorifying the thin ideal. Gross, I know. BUT, that was many many years ago before we were even having these conversations like we are today. So, I forgive myself. Even my curriculum in school to become a dietitian was incredibly weight centric and fat phobic (no surprise!) AND, I had to un-learn this because Health at Every Size was not taught when I was in college.⁠
⁠
It’s funny looking back how I used this book and turned my first attempt at “intuitive eating” into the classic “hunger- fullness diet!” Yep, happens a lot in the early stages of IE. Until we begin on the path of learning and unlearning. ⁠

  • Your body listens when you talk bad about it. Choose your words wisely. Words carry frequency, vibrations that either hurt or heal. Choose wisely. Talk to yourself like  you’re talking to your bestie. Lift her/him/them up, celebrate, reclaim... you are alive! #bodytrustisyourbirthright #intuitiveeating #losehatenotweight #selflove #pleasurerevolution

  • Said the Buddha never... 😂 Who knows, maybe the Buddha does hate his thighs on some days or if he’s PMS’ing 😂 I’m sure however that the Buddha can decode his fat feelings and knows that feeling fat isn’t always about your body. Especially if you feel fine one minute and the next you feel like you’ve suddenly gained a gazillion pounds. What’s that about? Do you think it could be about something else unrelated to your body? Get curious about what else you might be uncomfortable about, what else feels “ huge” in your life... shift your awareness off your body for one second. If you want help decoding body images issues, come on over to FB join my group Intuitive Eating Warriors where I go live tomorrow to teach you how to decode fat feelings. #bodyimage #healthateverysize #intuitiveeating #allbodiesaregoodbodies #losehatenotweight

  • This is a common experience that many of my clients report when they start learning the Intuitive Eating principals. ⁠
⁠
Making peace with all foods is dependent on giving yourself absolute and unconditional permission to eat all foods again- even the “forbidden” ones! ⁠
⁠
Only with full and unconditional permission to eat do you really start to understand what you are truly hungry for and how much you need to feel satisfied, not just full. ⁠
⁠
When you can let go of control, you get it back! ⁠
