In recent years, concepts such as body trust, acceptance, and intuitive eating have gained significant attention, especially among those recovering from eating disorders. In this blog, we will explore how to reconnect with your body, overcome fears surrounding food, and embrace the power of intuitive eating as a path to healing.
Picture this: You’re at a charming little restaurant, savoring the most delectable pasta you’ve ever had. The sauce is tangy and rich, perfectly coating the noodles. Despite feeling full, you take a few more bites because it’s just so delicious. Now, you’re really full and facing a dilemma: stop eating to avoid feeling stuffed and miserable, or continue because it’s too good to waste, and reheating leftovers might not do it justice.
One of the things that makes this especially tricky is if it was kind of a big deal for you to give yourself permission to eat the pasta in the first place. Maybe in the past when you were doing low carb dieting, or when you were tracking your macros you would never order something like a decadent plate of pasta at a restaurant. So it felt really liberating and empowering (and maybe also a little scary) to order the pasta in the first place. And then it’s so delicious that you don’t want to stop eating it – which on some level also confirms your fears that you can’t trust yourself with these types of foods, and you start to wonder if you’ll ever make peace with food.
Find peace with food, and within yousrelf
I’ve learned that most of the world around us doesn’t “get it” when it comes to having a healthy relationship with food. Even health professionals like doctors and other dietitians often give misguided advice, making health and recovery a challenge.
I love helping people uncover what it is about their bodies and about their eating that they are struggling with, and help them heal - using a non-diet approach.
