Intuitive Eating Challenge

calmZebra60 August 22nd, 2017

Diet:

Can I have this?

How do I look?

How much food can I have today?

Will it make me skinny?

I will exercise to eat.

I can eat whatever I want on my cheat day.

Food is my favorite reward and my worst enemy.

Intuitive:

What do I want?

How do I feel?

Will this nourish me?

I eat so i can exercise.

Will this norish me?

I can eat what I want, every day.

Food is just food.

Do you see the difference?

One person of these two is workin gto take care of their body. The other is in a 'cyce of doom'. In other words, one that is set up so strict that it is doomed to fail.

If you are the first person, I have a challenge for you. Write down a list of forbidden foods and cross one out every week. Even if you just take one bite, that is a step towards progress! And t'll help you seee progress in recovery!


Always celebrate that progress. But remember, the reward is not food. Food does not control your life anymore.
