DIET CULTURE
November 4, 2014
You've heard of intuitive eating (right?). So let's apply the same concepts to exercise. The diet mentality preaches exercise as something a person "should" do in order to lose weight. Telling ourselves we "should" do anything pretty much guarantees we won't want to do it.
What if exercise was something you wanted to do? (Gasp) Is such a thing even possible? Our bodies are hard-wired to crave and enjoy movement. Here's a formula for intuitive exercise:
It's common to fear that if you choose to exercise intuitively your body will become completely sedentary and you'll never move again. This same fear happens with intuitive eating – that if left to it's own devices your hunger would be insatiable. This simply isn't true. When we truly listen to our bodies and give them what they want, you'll naturally find balance. You'll experience both hunger and satiety. You'll also experience the desire to both move and rest.
