Intuitive Eating Challenge
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.
@calmZebra60 - Excellent challenge, and I love that you recognize that even just one bite is a step in the right direction! :)
Stay strong, ED Warriors!
