@@skylarsaysstuff I totally hear you Skylar! If could be so easy as to just stop binging right away, I'd give you all the answers, gladly. Recovering from binge eating is a process and takes time, and letting go of food rules is a big step. You have to go through the haunted forest before you come out the other side of recovery.
Skylar, do You have a therapist you can talk to regularly specialized in eating disorders? They can make a real difference. I know my therapist has really been a blessing in my life.
One thing I don't understand is how to deal with the fact that different foods have different physical effects on your body. Like if you eat a cookie that tends to cause a spike in your blood sugar which makes you more likely to crave sugar later. I appreciate the mental aspects of intuitive eating for sure. It makes a lot of sense. But I find from a purely physical standpoint the more junk food I eat the more junk food i want. Very interested to hear your take on this and if you already have a video about it please direct me to it 😊😊
I hear you. One way to deal with cravings for sugary things without getting the crash is to eat a protein/ fat with it. Greek yogurt, cottage cheese or nitrite free lunch meat. Or have your treats after a meal. That way you can keep your blood sugar stable and enjoy the things that you crave in moderation. A piece of chocolate after a meal sounds divine!
Is intuitive eating solely geared toward people in the overweight category However those that are obese often require medical intervention because of the stress and complications that the weight is putting on their body? How does intuitive eating work for those with Diabetes and food Intolerances/ allergies who have to restrict.
No! Intuitive Eating is for anyone! There are a lot of misconceptions that Intuitive Eating let’s go of all health-focused goals and that’s not the case at all. It’s actually a shift in how you relate to yourself and food - no judgement, no rules, etc., and is about cultivating a respectful relationship with your body. That also means, if my body is intolerant to a food, I make a choice out of love and respect for myself to avoid that food because if feels uncomfortable in my body. But when you’re deep in diet culture, your mindset typically doesn’t make respectful decisions, but restrictive, punishing decisions.
@@ParallelWellness Thank you! I agree gree with you. A lot of times people see those reality shows like my 600 lb life and think that if obese people aren't on a very low calorie diet and ignoring their hunger cues/ restricting food- that they are lazy and worthless. What they are doing to these poor people goes against and flies in the face of eating disordered protocol. I often wonder why they don't get a eating disorder therapist involved from the beginning. If an anorexic person was asking for help, you know they would. There is weight bias in the medical field. If you are 600 lb odds are you have disordered eating and your relationship with food is jacked up? You know what I mean? The lack of empathy, understanding and common sense baffles me.
If your allergic to a food, out of respect for your body, don't eat it because it makes you feel bad. If a food makes you fat when you eat it too much, out of respect for your body, don't eat it because it makes you feel bad AND MAKES YOUR HEALTH BAD. How is that different? It's the same thing as being on a diet you're just being nicer about it lmao, at the end of the day, eat better and exercise to get healthier and lose/gain weight (whichever is neccessary for health) it doesn't matter what kind of kind language you use around it, that's the fact of the matter...
What are your biggest concerns about Intuitive Eating?? Let me know ⬇️⬇️⬇️
What my body /needs/ is for me not to binge. If I "allow" it to get its cravings, I binge and feel like garbage.
