I'll share a personal example of what I did when I noticed I was gaining weight while eating intuitively, explain why we cling to weighing/measuring/tracking our food, and share my advice for deepening into trust.

Guest Toni Marinucci MS, RD, and I are answering a question I get all the time... HOW do I go from my rigid or extreme background of dieting to living a healthy life free from food rules, comparison, and self-doubt? Toni and I share our favorite strategies as well as personal experiences that will help you move from stressed to cool & confident when it comes to your food choices. We also discuss:

• Why healing your relationship with food is so important for long term success
• Why it feels uncomfortable at first and how to move past that resistance
• Tips for building more confidence on bad body image days
• Hilarious analogies between our love lives, romance, and dieting (and Toni's new book!)

How do you measure progress if you're not tracking macros or weighing yourself? We're often told that the only way to know we're "progressing" is by seeing the scale going down or by tracking macros 24/7... But what if you want LESS stress around food and fitness and LESS intensity? You still want to look good naked... But you also want freedom from constantly thinking about your diet and to feel more ease and flexibility in your lifestyle. In today's episode, I'll share 7 of my favorite markers of progress that have nothing to do with your macros or the scale so you can confidently move forward with adding a little more intuition and trust into your wellness routine.

In today's episode, you'll learn my 3 simple steps to release the stress & pressure of the "dieter's mindset" and find the best of both worlds in the gray area between tracking and intuitive eating.

I went through this process myself in 2021 because:

• I wanted a break from always trying to lose weight.
• I wanted to reduce my cravings and stop binge eating.
• I wanted to relearn how to actually honor my hunger and fullness signals instead of ignoring them.
• And I wanted to reconnect with my intuition to respect my body instead of always trying to change it.
