Resources Mentioned in This Episode

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.

Resources talked about in the show:

Sometimes I get in my own way when it comes to recording.  Thinking Out Loud episodes will allow me to publish my thoughts for you as they come up rather than always needing to flesh them out into a full episode and then waiting to release it.

If we are committed to not dieting again, unintentional weight gain requires us to challenge old diet habits and thinking.  In this episode, Andrea talks about ways you can examine your food, movement, and stress and identify tweaks that will still be in alignment with your non-diet commitment.

Resources talked about in the show:

At the end of my last diet, there was one question that came up for me which started me down the intuitive eating path.  It was an aha moment for me that is still having an impact on me over 2 years later. 

Resources talked about in the show: 

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.
