Empower Yourself Through Intuitive Eating
Intuitive Eating aims to reconnect us to instinct and intuition. Intuitive Eating aims to get you back in touch with your body’s own signals. No more rigid rules. No more punishment. No more counting. It's about listening to all of the messages your body gives you, and trusting them! Your food might be limited right now. You may feel the need to restrict from certain foods at home. Now is the time to practice slowing down, listening to your body, and trusting those signals.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

How exactly can we do this?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🤔How would you build trust in a relationship? Let’s transfer this to your body. Can you rely on your body? Can you trust your systems to function? Can you trust in your bodies abilities? Can you recognize its commitment to you? Do you believe in its strength?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Many of us have broken trust with our bodies through dieting. We go on extreme restrictive and abusive diets. We put our bodies into famine. We endlessly speak harshly to our bodies. We try to make them submit, but inevitably have the pendulum effect. We will binge, overeat, “break” the rigid and unrealistic rules we self-impose then we blame our bodies but in reality our bodies are doing exactly what they’re supposed to do! Eat! Survive the famine! Put on fat energy stores so we live! Our bodies are amazing and work effectively.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

You can develop body trust with consistent responsiveness, compassion, care, love, and honoring your bodies needs and signals.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This is an all inclusive message! Body trust isn’t reserved for thin bodies. Its not reserved for fit bodies. It’s not reserved for abled bodies or healthy bodies. It’s not reserved for young bodies. You can build trust with your body. Even when our bodies betray us, we can foster respect and trust.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🤲We can build body trust by listening to & responding to our bodies. By using the principles of intuitive eating, we can be empowered to trust ourselves again. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
