In this episode, I will share with you what I would do differently if I were starting over, knowing what I know now. Having worked with hundreds of clients and doing this for over a decade, I’ve seen what works and what doesn’t for people. If I know then what I know now, my journey would’ve been easier and less intimidating. So listen in to get these episodes nuggets!

 

[00:58 - 32:13 ]   8 Things I Would Do Differently If I Started Over With My Own Intuitive Eating Journey

• Check out my new favorite free resources: A free quiz unique path to food freedom

#1 - I would journal more

• This allows us to slow down and reflect on our thoughts and feelings

#2 - Worked with a professional or taken a course

• My process of intuitive eating would’ve been faster without the unnecessary fear or shame 
• Consult a certified intuitive eating counselor, dietician, or therapist 
• Utilize online resources but be mindful as there are other misleading information online as well

#3 -  Joined an online community

• Learn with other people who are also going through what you’re going through

#4 -  Stopped weighing myself sooner

• Stepping away from the weighing scale, event temporarily could be a part of your healing process

#5 -  Seek out learning about weight stigma and anti-fat bias

• I discuss the 10 Adverse Childhood Events (ACE)

#6 -  Turn off the Food Network and get a new hobby

• When you deprive yourself of food, food is all you could ever think of

#7 -  Set the idea of health off to the side

• I'm infinitely healthier mentally and physically now than I was before I embraced intuitive eating. 

#8 - Approach your journey of Intuitive Eating with self-compassion

Key Quotes

“Sometimes people need to hear things from others who are at like that peer level and not the leader or the professional, they need to hear things from each other, for it to feel a little bit more relatable or real.” - Katy Harvey, non-diet dietitian
