It’s one of the most common questions chronic dieters ask when they first hear about intuitive eating. Trust me, I get it. With all the focus on weight and body size in our diet culture, it’s natural to worry. As an intuitive eating counselor and health coach, I want to tackle this concern with care and compassion and help you understand what intuitive eating is truly about.

Welcome back to our series on creating a supportive environment for intuitive eating. In part one we discussed the importance of redefining your food environment at home and cultivating a supportive social circle. In this second part, we’ll focus on practicing self-compassion and additional tips to further support your journey. These practices will help you stay connected to your body, embrace flexibility, and celebrate your progress.

In a world filled with diet culture messages and food rules, embracing intuitive eating can feel like a radical act of self-love and self-care. As a health coach, intuitive eating counselor, and disordered eating survivor, I understand the importance of fostering a supportive environment that nurtures this journey. In this first part of our 2-part series, we’ll explore how to redefine your food environment at home and cultivate a supportive social circle. These foundational steps will help you create a nurturing space that honors your body’s natural cues and fosters a positive relationship with food.

Today, let's dive into a topic that's close to my heart: creating healthy boundaries to protect your food choices. We all face pressures from friends, family, and the media to follow the latest diet trends or eat in a certain way. But the truth is, your eating habits should reflect what’s best for your body and your well-being. Let’s explore how you can set strong, supportive boundaries and stay true to your food choices, no matter what external influences come your way.

It’s interesting how a bad habit starts. But when you finally decide to make a change for the better, it’s important to understand the “why” because the likelihood of your success may depend on it.

Stress is an inevitable part of life, affecting us all at various times. While we often think of stress as an emotional or mental burden, its physical manifestations can be just as impactful, if not more so.

Raise your hand if you have EVER looked in the mirror and did not like what you saw. Yep, that was me too. No matter how my clothes felt on my body, or what the number displayed on the scale, I did not like the image looking back at me. As a result, I did not appreciate all that my body could do because I was disappointed and frustrated that it did not look the way I thought it “should”, i.e. super skinny.

Many of us grew up with the notion that some foods were inherently "bad" for us, with bread often topping that list in the world of health and dieting. Yet, as a health coach and intuitive eating counselor who recently relocated to Lisbon, Portugal (I still can’t believe I am saying that - woohoo!), I've been inspired to revisit this notion and share a new perspective on this staple food that is deeply woven into the fabric of Portuguese culture.

In our journey toward healthier lives, we often find ourselves fixated on the number on the scale. It’s easy to let this single metric dominate our perception of progress, but true health and wellness encompass so much more than just weight. Today, I want to invite you to join me in redefining success by celebrating our non-scale victories (NSVs).
