Anonymous asked: What do you naturally do if you have eaten took much

If you have eaten too much, you carry on with life as normal. In other words:

1. no guilting yourself
2. no worrying you have “failed” at intuitive eating
3. no “I blew it so might as well binge”
4. no skipping your next meal (this will just provoke a binge/restrict cycle)

Just do “the next best thing” as author Jenni Schaefer says. Eating “too much” is sometimes part of normal eating - Intuitive Eating is a lifestyle change, not a set of laws you can “break.”

Hope this helps!

One day I had to sit down with myself and decide that I loved myself no matter what my body looked like and what other people thought about my body. I got tired of hating myself. Gabourey Sidibe (via embracefreespo)

Just as a person with a shoe size of eight would not expect to squeeze into a size six, it is equally futile (and uncomfortable) to have a similar expectation about body size. Respect your body so you can feel better about who you are. “Intuitive Eating” by Tribole & Resch (via embracefreespo)

If you cannot see that you’re okay now, you won’t be able to see it if you lose twenty pounds. It’s an inside job. Anne Lamott (via embracefreespo)

You are not a mistake. You are not a problem to be solved. But you won’t discover this until you are willing to stop banging your head against the wall of shaming and caging and fearing yourself. Geneen Roth (via embracefreespo)
