An observation from a newbie

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I'm Leena and I decided to become an intuitive eater after my second

child which I just had 5 weeks ago! Anyway, I bought the book

Intuitive Eating about 3 years ago, read a couple of chapters, skimmed

pages and then never picked it up again until two weeks ago.

I finally read the entire book and I swear it totally clicked with

me. So the past couple of days I've made two trips to the grocery

store and usually I like to browse the magazine section to see if

there is something that I can entertain myself with. Most of the time

I go for magazines such as, Self, Women's Health, Shape because after

all if I wasn't being " healthy and active " I can read about it and at

feel like I'm " healthy and active " right?

Anyway, I observed my reaction to these magazines that was much

different than before. I used to look to these magazines for help, for

some type of quick fix to my weight issues and I used to look to these

magazines for motivation.

After finishing Intuitive Eating, all these magazines with their " lose

weight fast!!! " headlines seemed extremely ridiculous. A waste of time

and money now.

Anyone else feel that way now about these magazines and such?

I'd love to here your thoughts!

Thanks
