Happy Tuesday!
What did you have for breakfast this morning?
I had…
A blurry bowl of cinnamon roll oatmeal with a dollop peanut butter. Tasty. Tasty.
My cat Harley died last week on Wednesday. I was really down at practice that evening so my girls made me brownies, a homemade card and gave me these beautiful roses. Aren’t they pretty? They smell amazing too.
Here’s your daily dose of Jeep!

Well what do I have to say about intuitive eating this week?
I think eating intuitively doesn’t follow a time line. It’s not a switch that gets flipped on and you go from zero to sixty over night. It’s a pretty long process.
Up until this week I felt like I was behind the curve because I quit progressing past “eating what you want when you want it” and “eat when hungry, stop when full”. It’s taking me a long time to master these two concepts. Eating intuitively is not a plan. The book doesn’t say spend 2 weeks mastering eating when hungry then your next step for 5 weeks is…”. This is hard for me because I like seeing results. Who am I kidding, I like seeing results F.A.S.T..
This is not a fast journey, it’s a marathon.
My Progress
I’m still on the train. I’m not counting calories (AT ALL!) and I’m starting to really hate feeling full again. I hated feeling full growing up. I’m also starting to notice that when I’m not hungry, sometimes I have to literally force myself to eat. This morning I wasn’t hungry for breakfast and eating did not sound great at all. This never would have happened before starting this process. I could eat anything (in any amount) at anytime.
I like being able to understand my body better. I’ve also started forgetting about meals when I’m not hungry. A few days ago I didn’t even realize I missed lunch until 2:30pm. This just shows how much food and eating really dominated my life and how much it doesn’t now. I’m really happy I decided to take dieting completely out of my life and just focus on being healthy.
