#95 - Realistic Expectations for Navigating Intuitive Eating On Your Own

Satisfaction Factor

Navigating the world of intuitive eating & anti-diet living can be a daunting task, especially when you're doing it solo. In this episode, we're diving deep into the journey of pursuing intuitive eating without professional support, with 7 crucial insights that can help you set realistic expectations & understand the long-term commitment required for this process.
We're talking about:
Why it's normal to hit plateaus or feel stuck on your intuitive eating journey
The importance of setting realistic expectations to avoid discouragement
Why everyone’s timeline is unique & it’s perfectly okay for the journey to take as long as it needs
The need to actively apply intuitive eating principles, rather than simply understanding them intellectually
The cognitive dissonance & challenges that come with doing this solo
The significance of unpacking underlying beliefs to foster a healthier relationship with food & bodies
The value of self-compassion
And the importance of seeking professional help when we actually do need it.
