When it comes to Intuitive Eating, can weight loss be your goal? 

In this episode, we explore the reasons why the desire to lose weight has to be given up in order to truly become an Intuitive Eater. We know it can feel scary to truly accept this reality - especially when you've been dieting for YEARS - but it is possible, and it's the most freeing feeling when you're able to let go of the desire to lose weight. To help you decide if you're in a place to take that step, we walk you through a dieting symptoms checklist so you'll be able to identify how deeply diet culture has affected you socially, psychologically, behaviorally, and physically.

As we’ve been digging deeper into the Intuitive Eating process and we’ve been working on trusting our bodies to tell us what and when to eat, we’ve had some interesting thoughts and feelings come up. We want to share our experiences with you in full transparency, because it’s HARD to let go of the food rules that have been programmed into us about how much to eat, when to eat, what to eat, and what our bodies “should” look like. 

In this episode, we share about the “hyperawareness” stage of the Intuitive Eating process, and how it’s been eye-opening to see how deeply diet culture has affected us. If you’ve ever done any type of meal plan or “lifestyle change” with the hope of shrinking your body or losing weight, you’re going to relate to this message.

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the different “types” of eaters. We’d be willing to bet that you can relate hard to at least one of these eater types, if not more than one.

This is where things tend to get a little tricky though, because you either:

A - Know that diet culture has a strong grip on you and you’re desperate and ready for change but don’t know where to begin...

OR

B - Think you’re in the clear and completely healed from all the diets and BS you’ve done over the years to make your body smaller…

Either way, it’s HARD to pinpoint the sneaky ways that food rules and emotions show up when it comes to the ways we eat.

In this episode, we bring all of that to your attention and really aim to get you thinking about how diet culture still has a hold on your internal narrative when it comes to eating.

Here's what our client Jasmine had to say about her experience during our December session: 

"Doing this challenge with everyone during my own postpartum journey has been just what I needed. It was great getting to really dive into the nutrition/wellness aspects, but it brought me so much more than just that guidance. I am very grateful to have these skills, because the challenge wasn’t about a 'diet' - it was a lifestyle change . I learned you have to start with changing your mindset and stop thinking of it as a 'diet' or you will drive yourself crazy. The support of not only the coaches but also the support of all the women just being there for each other with accountability was exactly what I needed. We are always so hard on ourselves, but having that communication with others going through similar things was comforting. Thank you both for all you do!" - Jasmine T.

Think back to the first time you heard the term "BASIC NEEDS."  Personally, we remember this from elementary school science class...the "basic needs" for any living being are: food, water, shelter, and air...right?  While that may be true, we're defining your basic needs differently in this episode. We're digging into your happiness and your productivity and tying in some pretty cool psychology lessons along the way. 

If you've been making excuses for your life or you're feeling like you really don't have a gift or a purpose to share with others, you need to listen. We're really aiming to give you a change in perspective with this one!
