I WANT to practice intuitive eating.
And I think I will.
AS SOON AS I LOSE ALL THIS WEIGHT.
Which is basically the opposite of something an intuitive eater would say. But! This article from SELF explains it perfectly: weight loss and intuitive eating are at cross purposes. I think that after I lose the baby weight, I can eat intuitively. And I think that while I am losing, I can eat what I want, as long as I control for portion size. But the whole idea of counting calories is not what intuitive eating is all about.
It's a conflict for sure.
Here are the ideas I can incorporate:
No bad foods
No moral judgment about food
Honoring hunger-- I can eat when I feel hungry, but what I eat and how much are important right now
Respect my fullness and learn what satisfaction feels like
No emotional eating
I made the lasagna on the back of this box:
459 calories for 1/9th, in case you wondered, and worth every single one.
