Say no more to dieting

Diet culture is everywhere and is unfortunately a multi trillion dollar industry. It sounds simple to say no to dieting but really we must try tap into and return to our innate ability to eat. 

Over time it can be as simple as eating what your body wants and starting to be kind to yourself, coming into your body rather than objectifying it. A simple tip I do with clients if I feel they are living from their head is to,  feel the feet on floor, look around smell the roses, use all five senses, be present and/or take one long deep breath.

Remind yourself how many diets you have done that haven't failed? Instead, trust that you will learn over time, while working through the Intuitive Eating Guidelines to recognise hunger and fullness cues. 

When you eat, try to eat with no distractions and what your body needs, what it wants, eat when your hungry, and until your full and SATISFIED. Eat what your body wants not what your mind wants.

Stop when your body has enough not when your mind does as then YOU won't feel satisfied. That is eating with kindness and compassion, not with the inner mean girl.

How can u get there?

Start slowly, small baby steps. Introduce one thing a day e.g. Eat when your hungry or eat without TV. Set it as a goal or as an action step until your next coaching session so there is accountability. Try not to take on too much too soon otherwise you may become overwhelmed.
