How to get out of your own way.

 

Sometimes the necessary thing for becoming an intuitive eater isn't more mindfulness skills or gentle nutrition strategies - it's letting go of certain behaviors. 

 

In this episode, I'm outlining the 5 key things that I had to quit doing that cleared the path for me to fully make peace with food and become an intuitive eater. Quitting each of these things felt uncomfortable in the moment, but it was exactly what I needed in order to break free from the grip that diet culture still had on me.

 

If you've ever felt stuck trying to figure out how to eat things like ice cream or your favorite potato chips without going overboard or still feeling guilty, or afraid to let go of your bathroom scale because it makes you feel "safe" to know what's happening with your weight, then this episode is going to show you what's possible when you choose to let go of these behaviors and deepen your trust with yourself and your body.

 

3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:

 

🔑 Satisfaction > Calories. Peace with food only happened once I stopped treating my eating like a math equation.

 

🔑 Thinking of food as "good/bad" keeps you stuck. It gives the food "charm" and increases your cravings for it. 

 

🔑 Ditching the scale creates freedom. When I stopped weighing myself, I gained the space to be able to listen to my body and experiment with food without constantly "checking the damage."
