I recently shared this Instagram post: “I’m not anti weight loss. I’m anti the system of beliefs, corporations, businesses, health care providers and influencers telling you the pursuit of thinness should be your highest ambition in life.”   I do not judge you for wanting to lose weight. And I'm not anti weight loss altogether. But if you think this is going to be an episode encouraging you to pursue intentional weight loss and intuitive eating, keep listening...   As hard as it will absolutely be, you have to put aside intentional weight loss to fully be free to rediscover intuitive eating.   One of my favorite quotes from the Intuitive Eating book shares, “If you allow even one small hope to linger that a new and better diet might be lurking around the corner, it will prevent you from being free to rediscover Intuitive Eating.”   When someone tells you that you can practice mindful eating or IE or food freedom and lose weight, and even diet and lose weight (in the long term) they’re promising you something they realistically, and ethically, cannot promise you.
