Guest guest Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Has anyone tried taking so many of the positive concepts in intuitive eating, such as " there is no such thing as failure, this is a process, be kind to yourself, positive self-talk, no condemnation, etc. " and jumping to end of the book, which encourages healthy eating like most other plans? That is one long sentence...sorry! We are given an outline of amounts of servings of healthy food groups to aim for once we become mentally healthy with this whole thing. What I am wondering is why can't we make peace with food while making mostly healthy choices? I don't want to feel crumby inside, but do because of all the unhealthy choices I made this past week, allowing foods back into my house I tried to avoid. I don't honestly think I will ever get tired of choclate or bread and butter. I may gain 20 lbs. trying, but I am just not willing to go there. Why can't it work to kindly allow less healthy choices when I need to in place of other healthy food I would have eaten? Is this making sense to anyone out there? It seems I can take all that wonderful advice about patience and kindness to self and mostly avoid dealing with all the food on my list that has been taboo. I know I should still have the mindset all things are permissible, so I don't want to rebell. I would just like to make those choices occassionally, not daily. Love to hear feedback...thanks!
