I haven’t always been great at exercising. Don’t get me wrong—body shame issues, eating disorders, and an intense jealousy of others’ beauty drove me to try exercising for years. I just never was able to get consistent enough to reach my goals. Despite countless conversations with myself, I could ever seem to figure out why.
Mindfulness and Eating
Intuitive eating refers to a way of eating that promotes flexibility and freedom by relying on the body’s physical sensations of hunger and fullness. This approach encourages people to simply eat when they are hungry and stop when they are full. It does not involve counting calories or cutting out food groups. Rather, it involves trusting your body to tell you what it needs.
