Some of the questions I explored are:

Reflections on the Book "Intuitive Eating" Pt 2 (ep 27)
Reflections on the book "Intuitive Eating" Pt 1 (ep 26)
After being on my intuitive eating journey for almost 2.5 years, I'm feeling ready to read the official intuitive eating book and reflect on it.
Here are the questions that I reflect on during this episode:
- How have instinct, emotion, and thought been present or ignored during my years of dieting?
- What lessons have I learned and stored in my "memory files" regarding satisfaction during eating?
- How was I hyperconscious of my hunger and fullness when I first started and what tools helped me?
The reflections are based upon pages xi to xvi of the Forward to the 4th revision of the Intuitive Eating book, linked below. Join me on this journey by purchasing on the book and reflecting on it for yourself over the weeks to come! Previous revisions of the book may be available at your local library.

Overeating is a Dieting Behavior
It's easy to see how restriction is a dieting behavior. On the other side of restriction is some sort of overeating behavior. Andrea talks about how the overeating is just a much a dieting signal as restriction using a non-food example.
