I’m just over two months into my journey after dieting for 12 years. I would say the past two or three weeks everything has finally clicked in my head. I read Intuitive eating.i listened to tons of podcasts and I cleaned up my social media. I feel amazing, I haven’t binged in fact I haven’t even thought about it. It’s so strange for me. I feel like all my issues with food are slowly disappearing. It mind blowing really. The first month was hard dealing with the mindset work and I Instagram messaged a lot of initiative eating coaches with my questions and then it felt like a lightbulb went off in my head and it all made sense. And I’m soooooo happy!!!!! I know these changes happened quickly but I think I was at the right place in my life where I needed this so bad and it really resonated with me right away. I know this is a lifelong journey and there will be ups and downs along the way but I am never ever going back.
I have been on and off diets for almost 50 years. I was fighting to not become as large as my parents. Sad thing is I have dieter myself up 200 lbs. I had a glimpse of being 100 lbs thinner using low carb but it was only short lived for about 2 years. I spent thousands of dollars hours on elliptical and about a year to get thinner to only have my self confidence shattered. My dream is to master intuitive eating and to help others out of this painful expensive diet carousel. I have 2 friends have bariatric surgery. Drastic expensive measures to fight back. I believe God loves us and gave us tools to learn how to eat healthy and intuitively. Thank you for your TH-cam posting.
I just started my inuitive eating journey about 3 weeks ago after dieting off and on for about 14 years! It’s been a really weird adjustment cause I’ve noticed that I feel wayyy over full even if I feel like I’m not eating that big of a portion! And in turn I’ve gained weight! UGH! So glad you post these videos to help us!
You have been super helpful. All my life I’ve been a disordered eater (binge eater, then I became anorexic) I am currently underweight and one night I just snapped- the best thing for me isn’t to force feed myself to gain weight or under-eat to loose- I have to listen to my body and it will do what it wants.
i love this! intuitive eating helped me recover from my eating disorder and come into my full power as a future registered dietitian. I am glad to see another professional sharing this message 😌
Just starting this intuitive eating journey. Hoping the example will shift my tween daughter away from the diet culture I have unfortunately been a part of for most of my life.
I m really looking forward to start IE but worrying about calories and counting them every single time , is messing things also . I m just so afraid to gain all the weight back😵
Loved the Tipps. As I am recovering from binge I find it hard to know when to eat. I am not usually hungry for breakfast but I am told I have to eat to avoid binges. What would you recommend?
I’m having this exact problem. What’s helped me figure out when to eat is to realise that I’m usually in need of food if I’m thinking about what to eat, and when my stomach is feeling “empty”. If both of these things don’t happen at the same time, I’m not really hungry. If they do, then I eat. This has helped me stop eating out of boredom and binging because I’m too hungry. I’m pretty much never in the mood for breakfast but I know if I skip it I’ll be hungry in an hour or two and it can lead to me binging on sugary foods. I usually have an avocado sandwich with cream cheese or an egg sandwich in the morning, it makes me feel energised without being too hard to eat in the morning. :)
If you’re relapsing as in binging it’s probably because you’re not getting enough food, or enough protein/fat/carbs or vitamins. If that’s the case, try to incorporate an extra meal. Idk what you’re struggling with, but it seems a lot of people starting IE (myself included) have a problem with binge eating, but this should apply to most problems with food. Also try not to put so much shame on yourself. You’re doing a good job even by trying!! It’s really hard, but try to think logically instead of emotionally about your relapse. Like this: Why did it happen? What was I thinking about? What was I feeling beforehand? What can I do to properly deal with this feeling next time? It’s really helpful to lay all your cards on the table and analyse the problem in a logical way. You’re going to figure it out eventually, I believe in you!! :)
You're so right it's crazy we've lost touch with out bodies so much from diet culture! It takes effort to get that intuition back, but it does come back!
I have a question. What if I feel like I want an oatmeal for breakfast, but I'm not really hungry. So I eat cereal instead (more light). Sometimes it happen and my mind was like "ok but youre not that hungry, choose the light breakfast one" and "but you want oatmeal right? Youre not that full tho. Just make the oatmeal". Thats confusing 🥲
I'm no expert but maybe you can eat the oatmeal or a smaller oatmeal like the other commenter is saying. You know you will be hungry later if you eat cereal, and it's okay to plan ahead.

EEEEEK! Janice, that is amazing!! So happy for you!
Did you find a coach you liked? Curious how you're doing now.

I m going to respect my body by eating & will thank my Lord for feeding me😊
Same here! Thank you Lord Jesus I have enough food.

I’m never sure what I can eat when I’m just a bit hungry but not enough for a meal. I don’t find fruit filling. I’m a vegetarian as well.
I personally just wait 'till I'm hungry enough for a meal
❤ still struggling at 59 (a few days ago)…
I've recently started watching your videos. They're really interested. Please get a microphone
Where is the road map resource you were talking about?
I feel really sick all the time when it comes to eating. I wait till I get this ravenous hunger and eat the whole kitchen.
Can someone relapse and binge after eating intuitively for about 3 weeks?
Yes it is. It take some time to adjust your body signals. You just eat whatever you want and write how you feel about it. It should help
I've been studying nutrition so long... trying all the things... except just listening to my body lol.. DUH. Ugh.
it hasn't been a week or two weeks, its been four months :(( i keep relapsing

@@zarahya6123 thank you so much for the reply!!!
@@ash1244 no problem, i hope it helps! :)
It is not "intuitive" if someone has to tell you how to do it.
You're so right it's crazy we've lost touch with out bodies so much from diet culture! It takes effort to get that intuition back, but it does come back!

Maybe make a smaller oatmeal
