Chronicles of an Intuitive Eater #2 – Real Talk (Reject the Diet Mentality)

Another real talk for real people guys! This installment discusses the first principle of Intuitive Eating, Reject the Diet Mentality. Throw out the diet books and magazine articles that offer you false hope of losing weight quickly, easily, and permanently. Get angry at the lies that have led you to feel as if you were a failure every time a new diet stopped working and you gained back all of the weight. If you allow even one small hope to linger that a new and better diet might be lurking around the corner, it will prevent you from being free to rediscover Intuitive Eating. Im still working on this principle as I still weigh my food on a daily basis. Please note that if you are currently dieting and its working for you then go for it. This video is in no way telling you what to do or suggesting that your way to a healthy life style is wrong! Im just expressing my feelings based on my own personal experience.
