167: What You Need To Know Before Trying Intuitive Eating
Manage episode 438265837 series 2954669
Hello again, friends! I want to confess something to you all today. I’m not perfect. The past week was terrible for my intuitive eating practice, I just haven’t been doing it, and I’m only just getting back on track now. That’s what I want to confess. What I want to share is my experience with why I fell out of my practice this week and how intuitive eating is a journey and not a destination. I want you to understand what is important to know about yourself and intuitive eating before you start and I believe sharing my struggles with you will be helpful for all of us. So here it is, how the week from hell made me fall out of intuitive eating.
The week started with my husband Rob and I coming home from camping. When we’re camping, I’m really good at intuitive eating. We have to plan what to bring, I’m not stressed, I can listen to my body, it’s a beautiful thing. But we came home hungry to an empty kitchen. Not a big deal. We ordered pizza. And that’s allowed! Waking up for an early day the next morning is when things got tricky, though. We still didn’t have groceries, I didn’t have breakfast, I had a bunch of meetings and I was driving on an empty stomach. I ended up eating drive-thru and because Rob had a similarly busy day, we ordered pizza for dinner again. That’s how the week went. I couldn’t get on top of my schedule and I was so busy I was far too hungry to listen to my body and instead just grabbed whatever food I could to stop the hunger. This is what’s important to know about intuitive eating: you can’t do it when you feel starving. A hungry brain won’t let your body make intuitively good choices. And sometimes it’s just like that. It’s a journey, not a destination. So join me in this episode as I share what I know we’ve all experienced at some point and I encourage you to keep up with your own intuitive eating just like I’m doing.
