I’m glad Intuitive Eating has helped you so much!

I’ve had SUCH a hard time making it through IE because it feels like it was written just for me, not to mention the fact that trusting my body to know when it is hungry and full is a totally foreign concept for a lifelong dieter like myself. Maybe I’ll open it again and give it another chance…you’ve inspired me!

I so relate to #3. “Give yourself unconditional permission to eat. If you tell yourself that you can’t or shouldn’t have a particular food, it can lead to intense feelings of deprivation that build into uncontrollable cravings and, often, binging.”

That’s a difficult mentality to change, especially after being told from a support group to avoid trigger foods.

Great post.

I so agree with you about eating good food. I find that I enjoy food a lot more now, and I eat butter and “fattening” things. I do buy a few low fat items still, but I went 3 years without eating any butter when I was younger. Insane. It’s funny now, because I am more in shape than how I was when I was worried about how much fat/calories I was eating. I would rather have a small portion size of a really rich thing, than a lot of low-fat, low calorie crap!
