I’m LOVING intuitive eating. It is so liberating to throw off the chains of calorie counting and carb counting. And I find I’m actually being drawn to fresh foods. I’m eating foods that are good for me not because I have to, but because I want to. I’m not lamenting my weight or diet. I’m not going crazy trying to figure out how to do a total overhaul. I’m drinking more water and less Diet Coke because I feel better, not because I have to. I still have a small dessert after dinner (I’m talking like two Oreos or a couple of mini chocolate pieces) and I don’t hate myself. And best of all, I’m not letting myself go hungry. If I’m hungry, I eat. I don’t binge, I just eat until I’m full. I don’t even like chips or stuff like that anymore. Today I ate some plain popcorn for a snack after dinner and it was just what I wanted. And healthy! I still don’t really like salads and veggies, so I’m just going to eat the ones I like (broccoli, carrots, green beans) and be done with it. I’m planning on expanding my fruit selection when I go grocery shopping next week. I eat plain yogurt for breakfast along with a protein shake (just to use them up, I don’t plan on buying any more, they’re expensive). And I like it! It’s great! And I am not weighing myself because it’s not about numbers on a scale anymore. I’m healthy according to my dr, so I’m not worried about it as long as my clothes still fit.

I’m still working on self acceptance. I’m still trying to look at my belly and not go UGH. But that will come in time. It helps that RS calls me beautiful every day.

I will continue this!
