The April thread for Intuitive Eating, please join!
Another month on IE and I can't believe I'm still making progress. Looking at my weightloss I can see that I went up and down for a bit but overall I've got a 3lb loss in the past 2 months. Big whoop I know, but more importantly I'd like to share some significant changes that have taken place in the past 2 months since I've started intuitive eating.
- My binges have reduced significantly, like almost gone!
- My hunger/fullness cues are intact! They still need to be honed more but they are definitely there and doing their job.
- My anxiety around food is finally lessening
- I've saved a bunch of money from not binging
- I've lost 3lbs and know that they're not coming back
- I am becoming a normal eater, a part of society and no longer a victim of ED
- My self confidence is steadily increasing
- I am addressing my ED issues with a nutritional therapist
- I enjoy eating more than ever
- I eat foods I love without (much) guilt - still working on this one!
- I'm taking selfies, posting pictures of myself, and lookiing at pictures of myself without wincing. It might be over a year and a half since the last picture I allowed of myself.
I still have a long long way to go but I'm finally on the right path, one that feels natural. Any quantitative changes you've noticed in yourself or hope for?
