about a year ago I started on my Intuitive eating journey. After years and years of crash dieting, restricting, binging, disappointment and self hatred I was Camiseta OGC Nice desperate to find a real, enduring option to my weight issues.
I heard about the book “Intuitive Eating” from research and blogs. I had actually already read several of Geneen Roth’s books, which encourage intuitive eating too.

But – while I felt that intuitive eating was a healthy way to maintain weight, I didn’t think it would help me lose weight. I was skeptical. I mean, I have severe issues with food. I can’t just ‘hope them away’.
I thought, “It’s not going to work for me.”
And it didn’t.
But, now looking back I realize that it didn’t work because it takes work! Figuring out your body and your mind and your emotions (when your eating issues are intertwined) is very HARD.
I well established a long time ago that I don’t know when I’m hungry. I tried to figure that out, but it was difficult. A few times I didn’t realize I was hungry, let myself get overly hungry and then would binge.
I made a decision it didn’t work, but I still really (really, really!) wanted to lose weight so I thought about diets. I thought about weight watchers. I thought about South Beach. and then I thought about my last meal before my diet. and then I binged.
I cannot do a “diet” diet any more. I used up all my willpower during college when I would run 6 miles in the morning and eat a Slim fast bar for breakfast. Every last drop of willpower went into those times.
So now what?
I still want to lose weight. and not just for vanity reasons (even though that is a big motivator). I Camiseta Real Betis Balompie want to be healthier and faster and fitter. I want to run a sub-4 hour marathon! I want to kick ass so bad.
But how do I lose weight if I can’t/won’t/shan’t diet?
Enter Evelyn Tribole!
I’ve read the book. I’ve following blogs of Intuitive Eaters, but now I need to identify the main issues that are keeping me from getting to a healthier weight for my average height.
I will be seeing her for sessions in an effort to finally conquer this beast. I’m excited! I’m revved up! and I’m finally ready to work for it without starving or dieting. Intuitive eating is hard when you have a history like mine, but I want this to work very bad. I’m going to do it.
A year ago when I pertained to her I made a little progress. At least I acknowledged there was a problem (which is the first step). But, now I realize I need to work harder at it. and so the journey begins…
Added bonus: Did you know she is a runner? Evelyn “gets” the need to run and fuel properly! If she can’t help me, I don’t know who can ?
Back Camiseta Flamengo to normal RER foodies…
This morning started out terrific actually! I ran 6 miles with 4 of them at a little faster tempo and then made a Waffle Wednesday breakfast.
With some fruit and cottage cheese on the side ?
I think I ended up with a pretty respectable lunch considering I packed it in 3 minutes. Tuna salad, pop chips and cherries.
I made the tuna with hummustard and relish and discarded it on top of hearts of romaine and tomatoes. easy peasy.
Around 3pm I had this bar. I got it because of the name – Marshmallow Mudslide Bar. It didn’t change my life. but it did keep me full for 3 hours.
After my snack I had my appointment with Evelyn Tribole.
(the above was written earlier today)
But ideal after that I went to the family greeting / checking out for my pal who passed away. I have a lot to talk about relating to the appointment, but I can’t do it tonight. I’m sad and will see you tomorrow ?
