Here’s how RDspillthebeans went from calorie counting and food obsession to eating intuitively. Side note: What a great Twitter handle. 👍🏼👏🏼
Imagine for a minute what it was like to eat as a young child. When I think back to afternoons at daycare, snack time was about intuitive eating, it wasn’t about hitting my macros or eating as “clean” as possible. It was about cozying up to the table and playing with my food, and, sure, nibbling on it, too. My curiosity and imagination went wild as I built little campfires on my plate out of French fries and ketchup. But like a lot of us, I outgrew that carefree relationship with food.
Step on the scale every morning. Eat a small packed lunch. Get praised for my self-control. Go to bed with a growling stomach. Repeat. After years of struggling to feel normal around food, I learned about this thing called intuitive eating. One of my graduate school classmates presented on the topic and I was intrigued. Intuitive eating is based on a set of 10 principles that help you get back in touch with your innate senses of hunger and fullness, which, for many people, get overridden by years of following rigid diet rules and restrictions.
I thought all the rules were “keeping me in line,” but all they were doing was making me feel so restricted and anxious that I’d binge to escape those feelings.and therapists online, I started to take some steps to challenge myself in my own life. It wasn’t always easy. I still had a relationship with the bathroom scale and it took quite some time before those ties were severed. Every time I was tempted to step on the scale, I asked myself if that number was going to make me any happier.
